I added a Guild Name column to the spreadsheet. Enter the name there you'd like to have. If there's a clear leader we can go with that, otherwise there will have to be a brokered convention.

I really don't care, although I have seen some funny names out there. I also don't care who starts the guild. 300k is really pretty cheap, so I don't mind, but if someone really wants to be guild leader, have at it.

Decided to use some crystals I'd collected to buy a 4x box. Man, do I regret doing that. No full character and just shards for lovely ones.

I've done this a few times and it's literally the same garbage every time.

There's no reason to ever buy and it's almost like the game wants you to be ashamed of your decision.

Fast enough that they nerfed his damage. OK defenses. Good AoE on a low cooldown, if you can land the knockout it is free offense up... But that usually just means "if you are winning, you win a little harder." Kind of like a LS Kylo mirror that punishes you for killing his friends instead of him. Also like KR he is unremarkably mediocre in terms of real power but sometimes things work out and he feels like a good character.

Agreed, I too wish I realized how good she was earlier. Would maybe have even bought the starting pack. She is the MVP of GW, doubly so when you run all Jedi team.

No idea really, I read he used to be great before the protections patch but not anymore, I don't really mind though, I already have 40 shards from hard mode and I am going for him the instant I unlock the cantina battle. Go Team Jedi ! :)

I think G9 Kylo is actually a thing. I've been running into him in arena, and he has an absurd amount of health. Also, the AI prioritizes his AOE into retribution, which actually makes him a fairly good counter to Dooku, since Dooku does basically no damage to him. I think Dooku (L), Fives, RG, KR, Barriss/STH/etc. is going to be incredibly frustrating moving forwards. I would be working on him, but, I'm legitimately pursuing an Ewok squad (and will be focusing on RG as soon as I have that node unlocked). I'll let you all know how that goes...

G9 Kylo is indeed a huge improvement. If other G9 upgrades are similar we're all gonna need to start working on those 50-stacks. His just happened to be the first one I started on, and now I can't decide who to work on next.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

I bought the 8 pack because I had saved like 5000 monies from logging in casually every day and just doing whatever cantina/hard mode shards I wanted, and I got dooku + 7 shard packs for various ewoks and jawas and stormtroopers, none of which was enough to promote or acquire any of said dumbass ewoks, jawas, and stormtroopers...

Argh!! Well now I know better and will just use them on refreshes when i start playing seriously next week.

It's one of the few things they do that helps out F2P players, because there's a limit to how far ahead the non-F2P players can get without spending ludicrous amounts of money.

If refreshes stayed at 50/100 crystals I would definitely have bought a crystal pack by now. So thanks CG, I guess?

So, you can't ever make GW easier than it is right now by weakening your arena team. However, if your GW team gets more powerful, while your arena power stays the same, GW will get easier by comparison.

Yes, all we know is one part of the equation is the highest team you have ever won an arena match with, per the CG posts.

Previously, emphasis was on "one part of the equation" but my months of experience have bourne out that it is a significant part of the equation.

For example, I fought the classic whale teams for months; ever since I stalled out my arena power, I stopped seeing them.

Why? Because it draws from a pool of candidates within a given power (someone actually mapped it out and it was rough 90% of your total) and if you're significantly depressed from the current "cap" where the whales are racing you will get subpar teams, because that's who's rocking those power ratings

I wish I'd read this before reading someone else's post here and deciding to plow ahead in arena with my non-sandbagging team. Yesterday was the first time in, I dunno, two months maybe where I wasn't able to complete GW, and now I'm getting caught up less than halfway through the nodes. I don't have enough credits/droids/stars to field a reliable 2nd team (and I'll be damned if I spend money on this game), so any time I lose a character I have to restart, and I'm quickly losing my patience with trying to figure out the one key combo that gets me through without someone dying.

Is everyone sure it's not the highest team you LAST won with vs. highest ever?

It's highest ever, per the dev post, though their community liasons have been known to be misinformed.

It is unfortunate that full clearing GW is one of the few must-do's as it represents the vast majority of your daily credit income

However, luckily for you, even with high arena power, GW can still be trivialized! The keys to doing so are, in this order, assuming fully complete characters:

- Barriss Offee
- JC
- Lumi

It is difficult to explain how much of game breaker Offee is; most people think she's used to heal around heal block but that's not the case at all, I go days without using her heal.

It's because the sheer amount of passive sustain heal she brings with her basic HP up and per-character HP up at start of turn, which only got better as fights slowed down, my healers are able to heal 2-4 times every fight and still end fights with 0 cd

Picked up this game over the weekend and have been playing it daily. I'm level 36 now, on a shard where the highest levels are ~40.

Still running with the default team, but I'm bit by bit starting to grasp what is good and what isn't good. Sort of. I'm not really farming for anyone, since I'm not sure who to farm for. So I'm just playing the game until a character unlocks and rolling with that.

Even so, that one team arena mission that starts with 4 B1 droids and 4 Clone Troopers firing first (and getting tons of bonus shots) is the WORST. It's like it was designed to kill off at least one of your characters so you couldn't 3-star it.

I am on a relatively Whale-Free shard, thankfully, and I'm suddenly cracking the top 20 and not losing many positions overnight.

Buffs are imporant, right? And RG's taunt is good, right?

Team NO BUFFS FOR U

QGJ 7*G9
Mace 7*G9
Daka 7*G9
Rey 6*G8
Poe 6*G8

Mace is a giant wall of HP that hits for 4-6k, making him quite nice. And between QGJ's speed boost and Shatterpoint (which I almost always take advantage of) he acts a lot more often than you might expect.

"But shatterpoint sucks because you can't focus fire!"
Well, sort of. If you hit it you're taking probably their entire Protection bar AND Mace gets to go again in 75% of the time. While I don't ALWAYS hit it, I usually hit it. Plus, sometimes you get lucky and it lands on the rear end in a top hat you want to focus down.
