Bullshit Poe doesn't have HP. I just fought one that had like 12k life, and if your characters aren't getting crits or landing status effects, it's going to take days to take him down. Not to mention you can't easily land a healing debuff.

Any recommendations on what to get with GW shipments? I just got Captain Phasma to rank 5/7. I feel like Luminara would be a better choice, as it's 50 tokens for Luminara and 85 to upgrade Phasma.

You didn't get a free royal guard/FOST/Talia? Lame.

Did you finish all of the quests/Challenges?

Off the top of my head, you can get a Geonosian Soldier/Talia pretty cheaply from Cantina fights.

Nope, none of those. I did farm a Geno Soldier though from Cantina battles. Guess I'll farm a Royal Guard also.

I've hit a wall and can't get past 4-L. Four Grenades at the beginning of the round and my party is closed to finished. Just barely make it to round 2. I can't upgrade some of my gear because you can only get it through dark side quests. Plus I only have one healer in my party. (Jedi Consular).

Maybe I'll go for an Ewok Elder.

Always prioritise Lumi over Phasma as her healing and damage scaling higher is irreplaceable, Phasma spends turns doing buffs/debuffs that while great aren't as important as one big numbers punch that takes someone out and can completely turn the tide of the battle.

GW shipments is basically 'everything goes to lumi, when you're done catch Phasma up' at this stage. We'll see how it is when new characters come out.

My GW and Arena squad currently uses Talia for the turn meter gain heal. But I cannot imagine how unstoppable my high-burst damage team will be when I can just heal them all to full.

Getting Lumi to 7 will help you a lot long term. However, if you're focusing on a Phasma led team, and you want to keep up in Arena, you might want to consider just pushing through and getting Phasma to 7.
Assuming you do a full clear a day, you get 15 shards per day, so it will take you 12 days to finish Phasma. Getting Lumi to 5*, which is about when you'd start using her, will take 10 days. Your choice.

Obviously the reason to use Phasma has a lot more to do with the leader ability, her slow, and her team advantage boost, but, getting her hp and damage up isn't a bad thing.

I would probably go farm Lumi, but, if you've already got a really high Daka, you can probably focus on Phasma without worrying about it too much.

He's Lando's buddy on the cloud city. Kind of a reverse-Geordi LaForge.

Hm, I guess I hadn't considered this. I have a 6* Luke with 37% tenacity boost, and that's pretty OP with Poe. However, the Crit %/Damage on Sid is so nice with Luke and R. Pilot (Luke gets a higher chance to debuff/stun, while Pilot gains turn meter on crits - and they both crit for OOPS YOU'RE DEAD).

rabidsquid posted:

Way earlier in the thread I was like "Hey Luke and Poe sure are cool, wow!"

The general thread consensus since I started has been that Daka is irreplaceable, and Poe can be put off. I think that if you already have Lumi to fairly high stars, and are working on Phasma's stars, this isn't bad advice. Daka, with Phasma as lead, is crazy good. However, if you don't have Phasma, or he's only 3 or 4*, and you are working that Lumi to 7*, then Daka is a lot worse, and Poe is insanely good. I guess it all depends on where you want to go with your arena team. I've been pushing Luke/Poe because they are just so crazy good, and now I'm spending GW tokens on Resistance Pilot (Lumi is at 99/100 and I don't want to waste 4 shards - hard mode tomorrow I guess - and I've got R Pilot at 4* and he's already doing as much damage as my 6* Luke, despite being -600 or so power).

After I get R. Pilot and Poe up in stars, I will probably then work on Phasma/Daka.


e: In arena, my team just got wrecked by a team less than +1000 on me...Phasma lead (5*), Lumi, Sid, Kylo, Poe. Their team went just a little bit before mine, which makes all the difference. I did manage to take out Poe and Lumi, but, then I was dumb and used Sid's aoe (to clear exposes and advantage), which just let Kylo AOE EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN TURN. So, yeah, never put a dot on Kylo. It's a bad idea. I knew this, but thought it would be worth it anyways.

I'm putting the pedal to the metal for Ackbar right now and not looking back. I got spanked by some stupid 5+ debuff/DOT per character Arena team headed by Vader a few days back in the #100 rank range and all I want is a rematch.

Makes me really wish this game had an upgrade feature when I see things like this, if you could combine say 5 lvl 1 ability mats to make a 2, and 5 2s to make a 3, life would be easier. Goes double for gear. Instead they are just getting rid of the Sell Items page altogether :(

The reasoning is nobody bothers selling gear anyway (I made 40K cleaning it up today), they already got rid of credit droids, and when they add new features they don't want the screen to get cluttered.

Probably just noting that your rank has gone down since you last checked?

EDIT:
If they're tooling with the AI, make it so that I can see what characters can use a given mat at their current gear level. Now, you have to finally get done making the drat mat just to find that three other characters also need it.

So the Poe one shot teams are the only thing I'm seeing in GW now. I now get to save scum until my brand new 4* Dooku stuns their Poggle, otherwise the Kylo Phasma and Lumi show my team their rape room. CG's idea of balance is hilariously idiotic.

I think he got an action figure too, obviously deserving to be included in the game.

Refreshing ice cream, +100% turn meter to all allies. Also grants offense up and evasion. Heals all allies 50% of Willrows total health.

It should also taunt. Ice cream is delicious, so all opponents would feel the need to attack him, and only him, so that they might get their hands on him.
