Farm IG-88 and get Poggle from GW and Geonosian Soldier from cantina. You can do a Poggle lead which buffs GS too until you get HK-47.

Both IG-88 and HK47 are from Arena points only, which makes it hard to farm them both for a droid team. Any suggestions on what to farm? I have IG-86 already, and I can get Poggle from GW. I also have Poe.

A Poggle boosted IG-88 is a terrifying thing.

gently caress Dooku as a leader, stay as far away from that garbage as you can. Evasion is a trick at the low percentages that it's at. 15-20% isn't poo poo. I just had an arena where I went like 15 attacks without getting an evade, including a Kylo AoE that hit everyone.

E: I hate to be "That Guy" but has anyone else noticed lower drop rates for shards in Hard missions? I actually do quite a few of them (JC, FOTP, Dooku, and Rey) daily and previously have noticed between 30-50% drop rate on shards but for the last three days I'm averaging out to less than 10% drop rate (about 1 shard per 12 levels run).

It's broken, and confirmed by EA as such.

I have tested this also and you are correct. It works correctly up to lvl 6 at 13.5% evasion. At lvl 7 15% evasion it stops working altogether. There is a HUGE difference in the amount of evades between his lvl 7 leader ability and any other level of his leader ability.

So, basically, don't level up Dooku's ability past 7 and it works. How loving hard of a fix can that be?

It looks like we found what the problem is. It's not a simple fix like the last Dooku one, so it will require a bit more time to get a fix in place.

I've noticed that you get slightly higher shard drop rate from Cantina and Hard Mode when you don't use the "Find" feature from the character sheet. Don't know why, probably a form of bias talking, who knows.

Once I do that, should I go for Poe or QGJ with my Cantina money? I've heard great things about both and seen them both kick rear end as allies or Arena enemies, and at this point I'm kinda just looking for someone to tell me that one of them is the correct choice over the other in an authoritative tone, regardless of whether it's correct.

Just hit 7* on Lumi, no idea what to do now with GW currency. Currently using QGJ (4*), Lumi, JC (6*, taking a break to get Mace for the next Yoda event), Dooku (5*), and Sids (7*). I have First Order Trooper and have access to the FO TIE level, and am tempted to make Phasma and round out a nice FO squad that shits out assists, but feel like I'd be better off using my stronger-but-no-synergy players until the FO squad was 6-7* too?

Might stick to a QGJ led Jedi squad and swap Yoda in for Dooku, keep the rest as is.

Phasma is drat good buffer and lead for dark side. I highly recommend.

Otherwise, get a Poggle if you like droids or a RP if you like resistance.

Hahahaha, in the past two weeks I've gotten more hero drops than normal out of bronziums, but I'm not sure I'd exactly call myself lucky on that front. The only new character I got was Ahsoka, who I have no intention of actually leveling. Others included Ewok Scout (I got him two days in a row last week - he's now at 24/25 to 3*), and I want to say Lumi, but that might have been like 3 weeks ago, hard to remember. I just remember getting 2 Daka shard shop shards out of it...honestly pretty good deal for a Bronzium pack :\

I am catte butte in game and hang out around rank 150. Someone give me money so I can afford to upgrade phasma and luminara to 7*. I'm basically done collecting chars aside from droids. I have enough chars to win galactic war every day now so that helps but poo poo is expensive. I maybe buy $20 a month of IAP.

Get poggle and geonosian soldier and some droids and gently caress poo poo up.

Things are slower now that they ruined my free premium currency fueled event binging on training droids and credits.

I use sidious as my leader. Off the bat I then go for either the opponent's sideous or a low HP DPS char. I use sidious' main attack which prevents healing, I then drop the first target. I basically repeat this process and take out the healers last unless I have another reason to do so. I like Kylo's third focused attack as it tends to murder targets (especially if kylo is < 50%) and never misses. I use Asajj to remove poggle or phasma buffs and murder with the AOE attack. Luminara is a fantastic DPS/healer especially with her HOT. Phasma is good for the DPS buff but has kind of poo poo damage.

A fun rotation is multi-attack and counter-attack so use phasma as leader + dooku + kylo (with aoe attack counter buff).

Anyone else notice that Luminara's force blast is awesome on pretty much every target except Sidious? It misses more than half the time on him so I know never to use it.

I never use it on him anyway because his special ability is almost a free turn anyway and I don't want to stop him from doing that. If that's on cooldown then there's probably better targets for the Force Blast.

It's funny how much you want the AI have Sid use his AoE instead of his normal attack that heal blocks.

GW has been kind of puzzle like since I've had to make the perfect set of moves to take out Sid, Dooku, Rey, Lumi before they wreck one of my characters.

I really wish I could give up my account without it being tied to my google account. The game is complete garbage at this point and you can't trust anything at this point from the developers. There's a guy on the Reddit who has tested Daka and so far she's revived 1 out of 23 times. Which is very similar to my personal experience. YET, when I fight against a Daka, she has like an 80%+ to revive someone, it's just loving horse poo poo how much of this game is just broken. After all the lies, and broken poo poo like Dooku's leader, GW picking opponents, etc. I can't believe them at all when they say defenders don't have hidden modifiers. I really want to loving walk away from this steaming pile of poo poo.

Yeah, there is a whole bunch of unfinished data in the game relating to ship combat, and one of the holotables has the shape of ships to it. The Devs have said that new types of content is one of their priorities so this is likely still coming.

Man, the rank swap pvp system really sucks but it feels good when you gently caress over someone else. There's only one rear end in a top hat in my timezone that guns for my position so I usually try to grab #1 then start a match at 5:49. As soon as that match ends, I use 50 crystals to attack again which goes until 5:59 so that attackers don't have enough time to beat me. Except yesterday this persistent rear end in a top hat somehow managed to start a match with me in the 10 seconds I was refreshing my crystals. Luckily for me he failed to beat my team and I guess he didn't want to spend 50 crystals for another shot. gently caress you Tenks.
