Is Han good? He was the first place I put my arena points (because he's Han), but I haven't been spending them on him since. I like his bluff ability but I don't seem to trigger it often.

Kind of. His turn manipulation skills are arguably better than Poe. His only real weakness was his speed but that will get offset by Ackbar's leadership.

So the free energy is 45 energy. Don't go too crazzzzy there.

Also, since you can get Vader shards from the shard shop, does anything think actually trying to max Vader is a good idea?

I'm not sure if they've reversed it but Vader's 6* and onwards are suppose to be nerfed since some people found a way to abuse the achievements and farm his shards to 7*.

Hey hey beggars can't be choosers, I'm very happy we're getting basically a full energy refill a day now.

Back to Arena, I like how there are tons of teams in my top 50 who randomly threw a Poe in to try and stop attacks. Regular Sid/Lumi/Phasma,Daka or Kylo/ Poe teams don't scare anyone guys

If I wasn't grinding to try to get a 5* Jedi team to get the shards for Yoda I'd put a properly geared 4* Poe on my final Arena team of the day just to discourage people who might see the portrait and move on.

If anything I think a *4 Poe would bring attacks on, a lot of people just don't fully understand what he does and just use him whenever and would try to attack you seeing the low stars. A 4* g8 Poe is like 85% as good as a 7*, he just can't take a lot of punishment but still has the same effect.

I'm hanging out in the 40's right now with a 6-star Poe on my team. I'm ~3k power under everyone around me. No one is stepping to.

I can't wait until I've got a 7-star Qui-gon driving this bus.

When you use the "Find" option on gear you need and then do the level it will show you how man you have/need for that piece of gear when you get it. That's possibly the best part of this update.

No, that's Lumi's new stance.

Also that happens for shards you're searching for.

Genosian Soldier's assist call ability is now a 3-turn cooldown when you used to be able to use it every other turn.

edit: It appears to be a fluctuating bug. If you enter a fight and see a 3 turn cooldown, leave and try a different fight (Arena, GW, or Dark). If it goes back to 2 turn cooldown you should be good.

Funny arena thing I've noticed after patch, there's no one near me, above rank 40, with Poe in their team after I got pumped down 20 ranks. Everyone that Ran Poe that I noted before patch are now top ranked while people I had noted as not running Poe are near my rating :ms:

Don't use them, though, just farm her from GW and spend the hard timers on Jedi Consular or Barris.

I think the list most people will eventually flesh out is:

Lumi
Barris
QGJ
Eeth Koth
JC/Mace

You can basically farm all of these at the same time (Please add another Jedi to GW, you fuckers!)

EDIT: Okay, here's the official word: The March 15th was a typo and WAS NOT INTENTIONAL
The Yoda event will run for a week and will disappear. It will come back at LEAST once a month

That's from one of the Dev's. It really seems like the leadership on this dev team has no organization. They are also claiming they couldn't have caught the multiplicative speed bug without the community's help.

To be fair, the dev team itself appear to be a bunch of passionate* guys that actually play their game when they have time and come across as pretty nice in their communication with the (not entirely great) fanbase, it's just that they are under EA** for everything that has to do with the F2P/P2P design and QA parts.

*=!Great at balancing, but hey

**I'm uncertain if the men in matching black suits, goatees and weird skin patterns on their abnormally long necks are actually employed by the devs or by EA.

New Goon... go easy

If I have Luma at 7* , JC and Ashoka at 5*, and QGJ at 2*. Will I even be able to start the challenge?

I'm 10 shards away from unlocking JKG and 45 shards from Eeth Koth, but I really don't want to devote arena stuff towards him.

Eh, it's 2 of JC/Mace/Barriss.

I'm skipping Yoda, going to keep an option open on Nightsisters, who are just as easy as Jedi (Arena, GW, Cantina Credits, 2 Cantina Battles although Acolyte has 0 hard missions) with an eye to Rebels and hoping for Scoundrels to get a non-Whale, non-Cantina Credit alternative to Mob Enforcer. FO and Resistance are both GW/CC/CB/2 Hard Mode but Resistance Trooper, Rey, FOTP are all decent on their own merits (and I'm coming around on FO Stormtrooper if swgohcantina is correct that his basic attack is 50% more damage than Fives's), and I guess Shard Shop will help convert GW credits I don't otherwise want... at an 800:1 shard ratio. Just 264,000 GW shards to fully upgrade the shop-exclusive character!

Sith require Darth Maul and Vader, Empire requires Tarkin or Vader (and Veers, ugh), not enough Clones, Jawas, Ewoks, Tuskens, Geonosians, or Droids. If Jedi are repeating monthly I'm guessing it'll be Jedi, First Order, Resistance, and Nightsister on rotation for a while? Or will there not be an event except one week per month?

And finally, server maintenance in the hour leading up to my prize allocation... I'm going to get stuck in 51-100 again I just know it.

Cantina Credits are more precious than Arena credits for now unless you really, really love droids. And Eeth won't be terrible now that you can choose to include him based on the enemy's composition.

Man, so hard to win in arena these days, despite my team over 27.5k in power. No matter what lineup I try, their Poe goes first and then their team wipes out mine. Not sure what to even do. I wish we were able to practice. There's not much counter to Poe's turn reduction/taunt unless you out-speed him (or do the same and go first). I just pick on teams w/o a Poe and get easy wins in order to finish in top 5. Thank goodness for that one Poe-less team!

Can anyone tell my why sometimes I don't get offense up when dispelling an enemy buff with QGJ? poo poo just cost me an arena match. It doesn't say there's a chance to get offense up. I definitely dispelled the buff, just didn't get offense up.

If you kill the enemy, then you don't get credit for dispelling the buff. Also if it's advantage the initial hit can remove it before the buff removal triggers.
