Brought my team up from 3 7* 2 6* to 4 7* 1 6* and GW got substantially harder. Had to do some retreats and run Dooku and Daka to prevent serious cheese with their stuns.

I'm having a hard time understanding how Kylo Ren can use Lash Out 2-3 turns in a row with me never once hitting him.

I've noticed this behavior a poo poo TON on defense, he just seems to use it over and over, and have constant retribution up.

I'm guessing he also benefits from +Turn meter effects (Phasma, StormyHan and other BDSM buffers)

Lash-out is on a 4-turn cooldown.

He resets his cooldowns upon receiving damage, but I don't it him and usually leave him for last (not unlike Savage O). He's pretty harmless unless he can use lash-out multiple times.

So how then did this mother fucker just use Lash-out 2 turns in a row?

I've seen him use it 3 turns in a row before... with me having not hit him. I imagine Kylo users see Dooku and cream their pants at all of the free abilities.

But I've seen that too, without getting hit. Only against defending Kylo though, so probably more bugs.

The wording on his passive is "Unstoppable - Kylo has a 45% chance to reset his cooldowns whenever he is damaged."

Kylo Ren is always damaged. The pain caused to him cannot be fixed.

Man, their new GW formula is seriously hosed for newer players. The account I created almost a week ago (I think it was Friday night?) is on its third day of GW. Day 1, I ran into a team at +10 levels on the 6th or 7th node. I managed to clear it, but lost my whole A team, and was unable to clear the team after them. Day 2, I cleared without losing anyone until the last battle. It was challenging and took time, but ended at around +5 levels. Today, I'm on about the 8th node, and at level 42, I ran into a level 60 team. I...don't even understand how this matchup happens. I mean, they've gotta have about double my power. My level 42 3* team (well, I do have a 4* GS now) is fighting a level 60, 4* or better team.

I just hit level 70 this morning, been playing for about two months.

965-134-547

I've been using a half-rear end arena team for ten levels to (allegedly) reduce the difficulty of GW fights. It seems to be working as only a couple of battles end up being too hard, so I'm finishing GW at least 2-3 times a week now instead of being wiped out within the first 6-9 battles. I keep my arena rating in the 2000-1500 range to get 400 per day.

I use 4* Phas, 6* Lumi, 4* Sid, 4* Chewie, 4* Vader, switching leader spots around and swapping Chewie for 4* QGJ occasionally.

gently caress it, get to top 200 if you can. GW doesn't ever get -that- much harder. If you're only getting GW beaten 3 times/week, you might as well up your Arena game. I'm in the top 200 on my level 50 account and have failed to finish GW exactly twice since I hit 40.

True...before I dumbed down my arena team, I was in the 400-200 range. But until I get my characters up a few more levels in gear and skills, the GW rewards are pretty essential to me. Once I max out Phasma and Lumi I won't worry about it as much.

Also I'm kind of a character hoarder (still F2P) so I've got something like 24+ characters all over level 50, and am working to get my main and alternate teams (and Jedi for Yoda) up to max level now.

Wow, I managed to beat it. I leveled up, then threw my 6th to 10th heroes (I have 11 total) at the battle. I got two of their heroes low, then used my main squad GS/QGJ to nuke those two. Then, all they had left was Sid, Chewie, and Phasma. Took about 5-6 more retreats, and I just had to sequence attacks in all the right order. I just now finished the whole GW. I really didn't think that would be possible.

If you can't beat a GW squad with your A team, sub in a tank and 5 DPS and blow 1 dude up. That's usually enough to get your A-team through unscathed.

Yeah, I can only do this once right now though. I'll have Lumi by the end of the day, thanks to this clear, but I'm still 2 days from Sid. Beyond that, GS and QGJ are the only heroes I've unlocked. That'll start changing fast, but, for now, I'm stuck with a pretty lovely b-team. 3* Chewie, 1* 86, 1* Ewok, 2* Ahsoka, 1* Snowtrooper.

"We got this new character, Trash Collector Man from Mos Eisley, who's a powerful healing debuffing attacker with a weak basic attack and 65 speed, synergies real well with Ugnaughts and Ewoks. In the upcoming month you'll be able to collect 10 shards to unlock him (at 1 star) and then we'll stick the only way to gain more shards under this rock that only whales that have paid more than $500 can even see in the main cantina interface, yes right there under that fat slugs tail. The cost to get him to a useable 6* will be around.... $850, give or take a couple of dozen (but who's counting? ...Well, besides us).

...

Oh, OTHER updates? We've... eh, we've... tweaked Mace Windu's Smite attack! His AI is now 25% more likely to actually hit the expose! And we've... given Chewie 1,8% more health! He should now be much more tanky. This should resolve the speed meta, we don't want to push balancing too fast!

Next update we'll be raising the level cap to 80 for the upcoming Rebels event which requires 5x7* Rebels! Look forward to that (and the $150 Leia-Rebel pack)."

They will release new IAP driving content from the queue when revenue starts to dip just like every other mobile game. People are smarter now because they know if they spend money for anything it will be made worthless by the next inevitable patch. In mobile gaming it's not pay to pay it's pay to rent to play.

So apparently Google is doing some Google Play promotions in the next couple weeks which includes SWGoH. The devs haven't mentioned anything about it publicly but a dataminer found out about a droid event: https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/4a0aid/datamined_droids_event/

It's not clear what the reward is but it's similar to the Yoda event in that you need at least 3 droids of varying star levels to participate.

Luke with a lightsaber *is in the game*, you fight him in one of the missions. So it's even more blatant that they are holding him back just to fish for whales/money once the release hype dies off (which is about... now).

Well, in about a month, when the well has dried up, they will release him as a P2P hero, and players will drop $500 just to get him. End of story. Same with lightsaber luke.
