i'm a princess of trash
Oh my God I'm a disgusting whale and bought the Heroines pack.
I'm 649-241-823

Basically I just need Old Daka and I basically have the Nighsisters team, right? I really like what Asajj can do in this.

Do not in anyway feel like you want to get to 60. You know all that sweet energy you get every time you level? Gone. I miss it.

Should I bother getting Jedi Counsular to 7* or work on unlocking new characters like Luke or Kylo from the Cantina?

Here's the key to tank only. Each hit on the droids resets the shatter timer

Not quite true. I tried having Chewie focus Mace and my Imperial Guard smack the droids. They never got a turn, and I still got shattered.

But I can beat it on the higher difficulty with Chewie+Guard only, it just takes some luck.

If Guard gets beat up too much in the first two waves, it doesn't work. I also actually got him a few gear levels and to 2*.

The Shatter debuff can be overwritten by ANY buff. Chewie's self-heal includes a buff. Guard can also buff the whole team.

Procedure:

1) Get lucky in the first two waves.
2) Once you get to Mace, focus damage on him.
3) If Chewie gets the Debuff, Use Guard Buff.
4) If Guard gets the debuff, Have Chewie Taunt.
5) If Chewie gets the debuff AGAIN, use his Regen.
6) Pray.

After gearing up my guard I can beat it 85% of the time. Level 52.

Have 5 tanks at lvl 40 with rank 4 gear.

Very similar to what I ran but I couldn't stun-lock Luke for poo poo, as his Meter would refill after one or two hits. I've died badly twice but I will keep trying! The Dooku suggestion last page makes a lot of sense but alas I started playing after his sale was over

I've been playing this game for a few days now having fun. Getting crap from bronzium packs(which is the point I suppose).

I show game to my friend, first thing he pulls from bronzium is 4 star old daka :argh:

Might as well ask, is there any way to get characters other than being extremely lucky with bronzium packs or just buying them with cash early on? I see a lot of teams have like, Captain Phasma in the pvp rank and stuff early on but I don't see how to get people without farming with sim tickets forever until I get much deeper into the campaign thing.

Evil Canadian: Once you can reliably do the first 4 matches in Galactic War you'll be able to earn 5 shards a day for Luminara, Poggle or Captain Phasma. A little later and you can earn 10 shards a day. Couple that with some hard shard grinding and the Cantina battles and you should be able to earn enough for a decent A team to start earning you chunks of arena battle tokens (for Sid/Asajj/IG88/Greedo or what not).

Might take you a week or twoor six though.

Make sure to start grinding the good characters that aren't in Arena or GW shipments though. I think you can get to a Rey hard mission pretty early, one for Ahsoka and two for Dooku.
Geonosian soldier and Luke can both be grinded through Cantina, but you might want to use those points for Talia early as your only dark side healer for a long stretch (or Chewie, but he gets kinda useless around ~lvl 50 for Arena).
Resistance Soldier can be grinded through 3-A Hard light/dark side missions. Goes will with Poe, if you already have him (iOS).


Malgrin posted:

Heh, last night was the first night where I didn't level, I'm at 54. Guess I'll make up for that tonight.

To be honest though, I'm looking forward to 60, when I can stop using training droids on my main team and start to catch up on the others so I can progress more with missions.

On the other hand, I'm spending all my energy between gear and hard shards, so, not sure I'd do much progressing anyways.

Yup, feel the slowdown.

They are raising the lvl cap to 70 this month :ssh:

Phasma and Poe were given out to android and IOS users respectively last month. If you're an android player, you can also log in the game via a Samsung device or Bluestacks to get a free robot. Other than that it's either grinding through quests, arena or galactic war.

Yeah I got the robot, its the only reason I can even field a full team of Dark side people right now.

I do feel like even if its just scrub characters I shouldn't have to rely on a platform handout to field a full team but eh, at least I got it.

Would vastly prefer Future Fights shard system, guaranteed 3 shards per Day/mission, although energy cost can vary

How about this for todays :argh: GW: lvl56, enemy team is led by purple lvl 60 Phasma, a 59 Luminara, a 57 FOTP, a 56 Dooku and a purple 55 Talia.
Actually not that bad, seems like Phasma doesn’t scale super well.
No, the real bastard GW team is led by 55 Sid, 55 Poe, purple 55 Boba, purple five star 55 Kylo and 5 star 55 Lumi :ohdear:

It's because this game is really badly designed and unbalanced. If Star Wars wasn't attached to it I don't think they'd even show up on the top 100 gross revenue lists on the app store.

I think he sits somewhere just above the very, very bottom, he's one of the worst characters in the game but his basic attack is a stun.

Scooby-URRRoooRrrrOo is handy in the AGI challenge and is a little tanky but his special is a serious liability if you arent rocking a full sandpeople team.

You'd think it would be pretty easy to set up character power budgets for something this simple but it's almost Gaz levels of bad. But Lets see what they do with the next few patches.

Use Arena to grind Sidious, use Galactic War to grind Luminara/Phasma, use Cantina battles to grind Old Daka/Poe.

My Poe is on his way to being 7 star. Poe is honestly one of the few characters I hate facing. Everyone else, including guys like Tie Pilot and Leia, just get blown up. Good luck killing a leveled up Poe's team if you are anything but AOE. Since I got my Poe to 6 stars and inserted IG88 instead my lineup, I rarely drop out of the top 10. People just don't want to attack me because if my Poe goes first, it's AOE city that's hard to stop.

I loving murder folks with Poe's taunt + Luminara's/Luke's special. It's pretty much first turn murder-town on whoever winds up eating the debuff. I barely ever have to reset or retreat in GW anymore. He's the center-piece of my team.

Poe as leader? JC would be a good 2nd heal, Barris to counter Sid isn't bad if you've got her. JC at least has his special to assist with first-turn nukes.
