How can you play the game ever and say it's not true? I'm just glad that there's no material difference between the top 200 or so ranks when it comes to Arena coins.

Pick one or the other and just ignore the other until you've gotten your chosen one to 7*. Counter point. Lum to 5 and then Phasma to 4 vastly increased utility and is only 2 days.

Here's an arena tip in case you guys didn't know it: When on the arena fight selection screen, you can always fight those 3 users currently on your screen, even if your rank is knocked back before you get a chance to fight them. For example, just now, I was ranked 21. Someone (who was ranked 30) was fighting me. While he was fighting and beating my squad, I just remained on the fight selection screen with 3 opponents - ranks 13, 18, and 19. I waited a bit for the #30 guy to beat me, and then I challenged the rank #18 guy (don't refresh or you'll only see fights around level 30) even though I was rank #30. Once I beat #18, I took #18's position. #18 dropped back to #30 (I'm sure he's confused as to how he fell 12 spots in one fight). This helps maintain your rank during the last few frantic battles right before the end of the day's arena. You can keep climbing the ranks even though you are losing on defense.

Also, Barriss lead teams are a free win for me. I <3 the sunk cost fallacy so much. Hughlander posted:Counter point. Lum to 5 and then Phasma to 4 vastly increased utility and is only 2 days. That's fine. You'd still want to do the one, then the other, but it's not a bad idea. My Phasma came as a 4* iirc. I now have a 6* Lumi and a 5* Phasma, and I'd suck all of the dicks for GW tokens.

I'm confused why no one else is loving Resistance Pilot. He is pretty fast, has insane crits, and with Sid, crits a lot, and he gains meter when he crits, so win-win. He's super good at sniping other high damage targets before they get to do anything. The highest standard-attack crit I've seen (with Sid lead) so far is 3400, gear level 6 (I think I have one item equipped in there), level 51, 4*. Str: 244 (+10), AGI 441 (+10), Phys Damage 834, Phys Crit 213, crit damage +150%. He gains 20% turn meter on a crit or evade, and a 50% to expose, 65% foresight on his ability. Hip fire has a 55% chance to gain 20% turn meter as well, which stacks with crit turn meter (so I've seen him attack twice in a row in arena).

Ability mats. It's so annoying how scarce the level 3 ones are. When you need like 30 to do one characters, it's impossible to keep everyone up.

Currently my damage people are Sid, Lumi, and Dooku. I may drop Dooku for Luke as he's starting to lag behind a bit. I'm definitely built more towards survival than damage output which I've found has gotten me more consistent wins but the occasional time out. The upside is that I haven't lost ground in PVP in days.

Yeah, there's actually not much of a power difference in the top 50 on my server. It comes down to knowing who to attack ( I am learning which guys try to move up the same time I am) and when. I lost the desire to fight for first anymore, though. Too much effort and too unsure a result since everyone can beat everyone else.

Yeah the first time Rey crit my resistance trooper for over 3000 and then came back for a second and third attack I panicked a bit, but after she's used Flurry of Blows she really loses a lot of her punch. I still prioritise Sidious over her to make sure the people that need heals can get them but she's usually up next.

Since there are quite a few players playing now, and some people have gone off the beaten path I'm going to throw my box up here because I'm looking for some different ideas on where to go next once I get Phasma ability maxed. My Qui Gonn can be promoted to 5* so I'm eyeing that. But I'm not sure if even 5* is viable. Cad will be 6* after the free shards this month. http://imgur.com/a/XKzQv

He seems like a great Jedi killer to me, and EVERYONE has Lumi on their team, at the very least. But my Cad is only 4 star, and I haven't used him much. Also surprised you don't have Tie Fighter leveled up - you can take his gear to level 8 and he murders people, even at 4*. And you can farm his shards in 3 places, iirc, so it's not like he has to stay at 4 star. Are you taking Daka to 7 star?

My Qui Gonn can be promoted to 5* so I'm eyeing that. But I'm not sure if even 5* is viable. Cad will be 6* after the free shards this month. Fives, Leia, R Trooper, FO Pilot, JC, or Poe. I included JC because it's awesome to be able to switch in a healer in GW when you took a beating the round before, and they didn't have any meat shields to run out the clock on. The meta is moving further and further towards a high dps/low tank/healer paradigm, so this would pay off long term, imo. I don't like non-healer Jedi because of how prevalent Sid's are. Dooku's cc is also ridiculous against them, too. If you're already planning on a Jedi based squad, so be it, but I'm not convinced it'll be viable until the next balance update. Fives is one I've had my eye on for a while. I love his kit and tankiness paired with counter capability. Poe as well is basically the only tank I've considered running on an A team. His taunt before a Phasma aoe would wreck someone. If you got your hands on an Old Ben, you'd be hilariously OP. Only problem, obviously, is that you have to sideline Daka for him. Leia, R Trooper, and FO pilot all make excellent use of Phasma's leader ability. I'm more than a little jealous that your Leia is 3*. They're all pretty squishy, but it's not that bad when their (FO Pilot and R Trooper, anyway) star ranks get going. Leia can stealth and her multi attacks can one shot people, so I think that somewhat mitigates her obvious flaws.

Leia is actually 4*, I just don't have the credits to promote everyone. Cad is just hella squishy. I honestly think he's going to get either a speed or HP buff somewhat soon. I'm not sure what gear 7 does for him as you can see but his speed and health are abysmal.

If you just max your four GW, Arena, Cantina and Cantina shipment characters as fast as levels and shards come in 1-60 you have credits to spare. Just, you know, one part of your only arena team isn't getting shards except from Hard mode at any given time. It's like they planned it that way or something!

Like $250. Honestly not much compared to some spenders. I've done worse. I'm sure the hearthstone, PAD, and brave Frontier guys have some super whales. I don't mind spending money on things I enjoy. I've put in 30 or so hours over the past month, probably more than that. I'm not going to quit any time soon so I figure it's worth investing in getting a decent team. I've asked people on the sub reddit how much it's cost them to have multiple premium characters at 7* and I don't get a reply. I still think if you aren't spending money you are going to be strapped for credits. As you star up more and more characters, it's a gently caress load of credits. It's what 3-4m credits to take a 1* level 1 to 7* level 60? That doesn't factor in ability training costs, or equipment crafting costs. You get like 600k from GW and maybe an extra 250k on training droid day. Zotix fucked around with this message at 05:53 on Jan 7, 2016 |

My problem is I picked a Leia at two stars but have no idea on average what it wou,d cost to get the cards to make her worthwhile. Like I see 7 star qui gon and think "Is that 500 or 5000?"

I thought it was like closer to several thousand, but realistically it's probably like 1000-1500. Depending on your luck pulling of course. The thing is Leia and qui gonn are natural 2*. I think they are more common than natural 4*. There is a small study in the cantina articles that I didn't look at before replying, so I might be wrong. As you can see I don't have Old Ben, or Lando, and I'm sure some others. But I've accumulated enough shards to get Qui Gonn and Leia, multiple levels. The thing is its a bitch to get the rare guys at first because they are like 80 shards. But you can probably star them up easier over time because at that point you can just pull shards instead of having to snag the full character again.

Use the A-team to blick their deeps and retreat, if someone dies or a roll doesn't go your way, force close and try again. Once the deeps goes down, your B team will probably be able to get another kill before the enemy gets it's rounds (or at least seriously hurt someone), so drop it and retreat, get your A-team back in and charge skills on your way to the next fight. You probably know and tried all of this. Sorry for your luck, man.
