Stormtrooper Han is a very good tank. Akbar lead rebel teams can be effective in the speed meta.

Greedo/Nute are scoundrels if you wanna do the Scoundrel event that'll come eventually.

Well running a meat bag squad whenever poggle or phasma comes up helps to drain off the cheese attacks and debuffs out of the gate.

Also anyone run phasma, dooku, kylo, qui-jon, lum for counterattack and multiattack? Should be effective vs sid/kylo and aoe squads

That's a team I fight and defeat a lot with my lovely out-dated Poe squad.

He's cyborg as gently caress, and he's the military leader of the Trade Federation / Separatists, so they wanted to make sure he had synergies with his IG-series buddies, I'm guessing

HK-47 just shouldn't be providing a leadership bonus to a meatbag, even if that bag of meats has a metal sausage casing.

Poggle and IG-86.

If you're asking for future reference, resistance pilot or Biggs, if you like rebel teams.

Seems like my Yoda farming of Ahsoka might pay off, that's a nice speed buff and other poo poo to her. Seeing as I got QGJ to 7* today (and Phasma), maybe I'll pour some energy over on Ahsoka (With Ben on the battle side).

Too bad I only got Iggy86 at a decent level, with HK coming up. No third droid so far, probably won't be able to get Iggy88 in time even if I tried.

Well, yeah, but honestly unless the character is Jedi Knight Guardian level of bad, they might still be good for GW and even arena if you don't aim for top ranks (if you do you are either competing with whales and might as well give up, or a whale yourself).

Still, that's definitely one of my top issues with this game.

The best part is that even if you shell out for them, you're still going to be gated by the actual credit cost of leveling people. I've got 5400 rank one droids and 6100 rank two droids so I don't really need more droids, but I sure as hell could use some credits so I could actually level my people.

I realize that you can buy credits but the payout on that doesn't seem worth the cost, and this is coming from someone who is more than happy to spend money on lovely toilet games.

I'm still playing because it's an ok time sink while I'm at work, but yea after they changed the credits challenege to have dick all for payout, it's really killed my progress for leveling up characters.

I guess that was their point to drive more sales but it just makes this a lot less appealing.

On another note I ended up getting Barista Coffee, Biggs and Urugurugurugj'k through bronzium packs in the same day so that was pretty cool.

It looks like they also removed one of the characters you could buy through the shipments store which is weird.

This event isn't specific to Samsung (unlike the droid data pack you get with bluestacks/samsung). However, this event IS specific to google play, which means that if you are running this off an iPhone, you are out of luck. You can't connect an iPhone account with a google play account.

e: I should add though, unless you have put a bunch of time into droids, the event is pretty lovely. I happen to have 3 2* plus droids (4* 86, 3* 88, and 2* 100 -- Bronzium pull). It would take me over a week to get 4* HK and 4* 88, and 100 only has one hard mode (and he sucks), so I decided not to bother trying to get better rewards.

Here's what I've gotten from the event so far:
free data card: 10k credits, 2 shards for 100
2* mission: I think 1 88 shard, 1 ability mat (don't remember which tier), and 1 7* training droid. 4* event gives you up to 3 training droids, 2 character shards, and 1-2 ability mats. 6* gives you up to 5 training droids, 3 droid shards, 3 ability mats.
I think you can do the event 2x per day, so, I guess if you can do the 6* event you can rack up some rewards, but overall it's really not doing much for you unless you're into droids.

I don' think this game is out for Windows phones (please correct me if I'm wrong - not going to bother googling). So, you can either have a google play account (android based phone - nearly any touch device that's not windows or iphone), or you can have an iphone account. You can't do this with an iPhone, is basically what I'm saying.

It's pretty lame for those of us who ARE into Droids as well, since my primary 3 are already maxed. I guess it's fine for Shard Shop fodder, or maybe I'll get some IG-100 shards, but overall it's underwhelming. And I'm pretty sure I only got 1 mk II ability mat when I did it each time, but I could be wrong. Oh well, it's an extra 5 mins of content a day for the next couple weeks I guess

Somehow I ended up with some extra Arena store tokens. If I have already spent the day's PvP reward on Sid, who would be the next target if I want to get a good GW character? I have a 3 star Han, so he seems like the obvious choice but I just wondered if there's somebody who's better for GW?

Han is a respectable tank but after I maxed Sid I went straight to spending Arena Tokens on Eeth and IG88. If you have Barriss there's no real need to use a tank in GW anyway.

You could also start on Greedo if you want to do the scoundrel event.


e: as stated, you can just wait a few hours and buy 5 more Sid shards if you're not maxed yet.
