Protection has made GW really loving awful

Anyone else feel like the last bit of health in the health bar is exaggerating or something? I keep finishing dudes off when I don't expect to be able to yet.

It has because it practically doubles the amount of time it takes to get through, if they cut the number of nodes in half, and doubled up the rewards it might actually be a positive thing because there is potential for more strategy with protection. As it is, it just feels like to much of a slog to be any fun.

Yeah, the last 5-10%ish of the health bar doesn't actually exist. It's definitely bugged, but noone seems to be talking about it so I dunno how long it'll take them to sort it out.

GW is tremendously unfun now, even moreso than before. And now the guild bullshit makes you run it back to back some days :suicide:

Reminder that for guild tasks today you want to save all your Hard Modes that you can until after the guild task resets (and complete as much GW as you can stomach before then)

I have discovered a vile, vile person. Their GW team is Dooku, Sid, Lumi, QGJ, GS.

I would complain more, but I've definitely finished out a round with a Dooku led DPS team, but that's usually because someone already killed my healers.

Such a slog right now. Next up, all 7*, all 75, all purple, Phasma, Fives, Poggle, Kylo, Sid. In case you were wondering, his kylo has 36k HP + Protection, fives has 30k, Phasma has 24k, and Poggle has 18k. That's an absurd health pool to fight through. DPS suicide squad is a go.

My go to GW clear team right now is Barris (L), QGJ, Daka, Dooku, Lumi, and I rarely have to reset a match, let alone pull out a suicide squad. People are intentionally finishing their fight with a poo poo-on-you squad lately, and it's pissing me off. GW is the least fun aspect of this game, while being the most (or second most) important, whether or not you need GW shards for something.

I moved things around in the spreadsheet a bit -- note I didn't sort, just moved rows. I left the people in QGJ without SA names at the bottom because they probably won't last long, but aside from those three spots, it looks like QGJ is full. I'm impressed we already have more than 100 guild members, good work.

Heh, today is the first day in a long time I even bothered to finish the Galactic Chore. Thank you Barris you beautiful noodle wielding goddess.

And Dooku led teams are just awful. Sliver of health left, easy kill? Nope, Evade, Offense Up, repeat fours times in a row. Nerf him some more!

Yup. I see this about once a week, and it is just as unpleasant. I usually run Barris (L), Dooku, Daka, RG, QGJ when I have to face a team like that. It does make GW pretty unfun though.

Ok so since I am done with Jedi teams due to all the antijedi stuff I am starting a new team. How does phasma(L), 5's, rg, daka, lumi sound? (This team would need some work as they are all 5-6* but low level avg 55ish)

I also have HK/88/86 all 6*, and a bunch of other half leveled toons(tried full night sisters for a while). I need to settle into something way less frustrating than Jedi. Feel free to suggest any FTP possible teams I may have a lot of them unlocked and half leveled lol. Just no duku or sid, I hate seeing them so much I don't want to play them.

Awful. You need more DPS to take out threats, all you have are some stuns. If you want to step up with a stun team replace fives with Hoth Rebel Scout. (And lumi with dooku).

I actually use lando greedo phasma daka rg. With those 2 DPS, Daka just stuns until rg is dead - I hardly ever need to heal because DPS gets poo poo done.

Some officer in IGD just kicked off our tier 5 raid. I first ran it with Dooku/Lumi/QGJ/RG/GS which seemed to work pretty well, as I did 200K+ damage. After that, I ran Phasma/Sid/Rey/Barris/EK, which only was able to do 100K or so. Then my remaining scrub 5* team did like 2,000 damage and I was out of 5*+ guys. Having RG and Dooku to stun the helper guards was super nice, if you can't off them quickly they hit like a ton of bricks.

Hmmm I like the second one, it will take a lot longer since I don't have lando unlocked, and greedo is just been unlocked. Welp I guess I will just start the farming and slowly sub them in over the Jedi.

Also what kind of team would the gamorian guard work for? Wasn't the jawa engi supposed to be out as well?

Hit level 75 today, and I got Daka to 7* this morning. I'm not sure where to put cantina bux now; I already have QGJ at 7* too. I have Poe halfway to five stars, so that's one option. Or, I can hoard them in hopes that someone else useful gets added to the shop like QGJ was.

I don't post much, but a belated thanks for the guild invite!

Not saying you should copy me - lando aoe is nice and Greedo is good but rey+some other DPS (probably geo soldier, hrs maybe) and phasma leader is probably better because rey is sooooo good.

I think until we beat it. The Tier 7 one has a 48 hour limit. After the guild activity reset you get 5 more battles and you get all your dead characters back available to attack (like GW)

Am I wrong or, when his turn meter is full, can Dooku sometimes get 4 straight attacks? Counter, bonus, sometimes the bonus attack procs another bonus?, and then his normal turn attack.

Seems a little extreme, no?

Did four rancor attempts. 50% damage from my eeth (L), yoda, QGJ team. Being able to dispell the taunt and having tenacity to resist shatterpoint were key.

The raid is interesting, I found that Dakka was huge in dealing with the two side guards as she was stunning them pretty consistently and rezzing my dps that dropped during the fight. I don't even have her at 7 stars and she was more effective than my higher level / 7 star units.

I kept focusing down the side guards before attacking the main guy but I'm wondering if I should just wait to attack them until they do their taunt instead since the only damage that matters is on the central guard.

Found the same. I did so much damage my first attempt because of her. Way less the second.

Squad 1: eeth, qgj, yoda (defence, dispell, tenacity)

Squad 2: dooku, daka, asajj, FOST (evasion, stun, dispell, shatterpoint clear)

Squad 3: phasma, obi-wan, mace, RG (assist, offense down, ability block, dispell, shatterpoint clear)

Squad 4: teebo, resistance pilot (dispell, expose)

Who else can dispell taunt?

Welp, just blew my load on 3 attempts and got like 350k damage. That was in 3 squads... my first attempt was shitted up by not having things like QGJ to dispell taunts and... thinking that if I killed the guards they'd be gone forever.

Rumor on swgoh.gg is that special damage resets devour cooldown & provokes a counter. Devour starts on a 6 turn CD.

You mean the shatterpoint from the Gamorrean Captain? The Details tab says it canīt be resisted (though it would totally not surprise me if that were not the case).

Since they seemed to fix targeting and QGJ will use his dispel on a enemy that has a buff now, does anyone know if they made it so that Mace will now target a unit that is exposed from his shatterpoint during auto mode?

My loving word, but we spanked the GW challenge today.

The max goal is 600, which divided by 50 guild members is 12 per, meaning we each only need to complete ONE galactic war (12 nodes) to max out the tiers.

I did 35 nodes :chord:

Just going to go ahead and say that if/when we hit the currency required for raids in QGJ, any officer should feel free to start it up or coordinate with people in the guild to determine a time.

I'm going to be pretty tied up the next couple of days.
