After he single-handedly lost me a few games on attack, I dropped him. Someone like RG attacks him, he double attacks STH. Rey/QGJ attack. Then phasma does his AOE, Dooku double attacks STH. Rey/QGJ go again...and your team just got melted.

As someone running Old Ben lead with an ST Han, I love seeing Dooku. Hitting him with offense down is serious  territory. It's just infinite turns.

I also am running dooku/daka/rey/qgj/rg, but I have noticed I am dropping a whole lot more in the last week or so overnight. I suspect it is all the Old Ben/STH guys, so I probably need to switch. I wanted to get Lando up to 5 or even 6 stars before I went back to Old Ben, but oh well...

Yeah I used to barely drop out of the top 20 but lately I've been getting knocked way back to around 60 or so. Old Ben is cool but Dooku's free stun against him/QGJ still edges him out IMO. I'm definitely seeing him on a lot more teams though.

Yeah, Dooku + Daka stun is a good counter to OB, but if you omega QGJ's buff removal spell, you get 2 turns of off up from that, which makes the offense up from dodge slightly less good than OB's TM from dodge. Also, OB + STH (or just STH) counters Dooku pretty hard, especially if OB can get off ability block on QGJ.

On my April shard I have been able to regularly take #1 as F2P with Ben(L)/STHan/RG/Rey/QGJ. It's an amazing combo, pretty much the only thing I can't deal with is Sun Fac, and there are only about 2 whales on my shard so it's easy enough to work around them. I usually only slip to around #15-#20 overnight so it's pretty good on defence as well.

I've had pretty good luck against that team by going Chain Lightning on OB then burning down Han and making sure to trigger RG's taunt if I don't stun OB or burn Han fast enough. Also I use Rey's specials to kill people before they hit half health, which is easy once you are fighting the same couple of dudes every day and learn when to use them.

Yeah, I've switched out Dooku for Phasma, and the one problem I run into with that team comp is that Rey hits Han, then QGJ misses Han, giving Han the turn, and QGJ then won't go for a whole turn. Han taunts, then OB locks everyone down with off down and ability block. Most of the time though, Rey hits, then QGJ + assist hits, I usually get Han to about 50%, triggering RG, and then problem solved. Also, QGJ has a 50% chance to call either RG or Daka -> great stun chance, 25% Rey -> lots of damage, 25% Phasma, low damage, but chance of def down, which helps if he taunts. Usually from there, QGJ's buff removal kills Han, which is worth it because then I'm not giving everyone TM, and I am giving my whole team off up. I also usually lead Rey with her 2-hit ability for the foresight, then triple hit. I used to lead with triple hit when you could really 1-shot people, but now I feel so much safer giving her foresight so that she gets her 2-hit and triple+ hits off.

This is how I've been doing it too. Typically against the enemy Rey but against Han or possibly Daka if they are there. E: The Foresight will also pretty much guarantee an Offense Up for the third attack too if you run Dooku, which is nice for making sure you actually kill the person you're trying to weave around RG.

Unless I get a stun on Rey, I just ignore her until I've dealt with people like Daka, Han, and RG. In addition to them being able to interrupt you killing Rey, she also gains foresight forcing you to waste additional attacks. On top of that, giving her off up or extra tm is a pretty bad idea...

Where are we meant to get Mk 5 CEC Fusion Furnace Salvage? I've seen them in small numbers in the guild panel, but I'd be spending all of my guild currency to get 1/2 the amount I need (and never getting any guild-credit shards), and I've been raiding since the day it came out. Is there somewhere else I'm missing?

The rest go off you can sometimes see the explosion as it does the dramatic pan of the door. Now I did try him on a door button reset team today with astounding success. Basically it was him and all assist callers. I would rather have happened phasma lead but she is on a door team. With a bit of luck he has been averaging 200k damage. I am thinking of getting the Tuscan raider to try his assist plus turn meter down on basic. I am thinking phasma(l), qgj, Tuscany, jawa... and who else has a basic with something handy.

I am getting close to a complete set of GW heroes. Having just completed Cad (4* 250/65), my general ranking of remaining heroes are: Initiate > Raider > Biggs > Magmatrooper. Thoughts? Alternatively I can just spend the next year putting GW tokens into GG (who I don't think is all that good anyways).

Additionally, I think we can expect Mother Talzin at some point (pretty major role in the clone wars animated series), so Nightsisters might be pretty good at some point (Talzin, Talia, Asajj, Initiate, Daka). Raider has an assist, and some TM stuff. Shaman will eventually go F2P, and they could release Tusken Brute at some point, which would make for a decent Ewok-like Dark side team. I'm not going to put hard energy into what's-his-name just yet, but maybe when Shaman goes F2P I will. At the point there are just two left, shouldn't I finish them to be a completionist?

Will have Yoda next time he rolls around, too. My core is level 80 (Rey, QGJ, Daka, Phasma, STH, Luminara, Geno Solider). Guess I should push Teebo to 80 and Greedo to 80 sooner than later, and then Leia after them? Gear is a pain, gently caress gear.

They seem to be doing better with Events lately, which is nice. Force Champions are a good start since they give a lot of Credits daily, more or less. Hope we'll see more. Would like an Endurance Event where you get rewards every 3 rounds, and can sub in characters until you've used your whole roster. Like, first 3 is 5k credits, second is 15k, third is 30k, etc.

The good news is that it isn't actually hard to get 5 scoundrels, especially since they don't need to have any particular star level to be usable. Keep in mind that we will have a 2* Dengar very soon. 4 Easy-ish to obtain, F2P Scoundrels: Chewbacca (free, HM, CB) Cad Bane (GW) Greedo (Arena) Lando (CB) The first four are all pretty easy to obtain, and unlock easily, except Lando, who needs 80 shards from Cantina Battles. You can probably do this in a week, spending 100 crystals per day. So, that's the good news, this is doable. The other good news is that you won't have to star/level up everyone. I'm pretty sure that if you were to max any 2 of the above to 7* level 80, you'll just need the others unlocked to do the level 70 (I could be wrong here -- but tuning it for level 70 makes it easy for level 80). e: Forgot to post the bad news side of things...you're probably going to spend more credits on leveling these heroes than you will get for completing the event. CONGRATS! I'm still leveling Cad/Chewbacca anyways for raid TM...and probably eventually Greedo/Lando as pretty decent damage dealers.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh but im working on rebels for the dumb empire event right now.... and still gearing/levelling my main team. I could take a little break from grinding RG to fill out Lando, but my highest levelled scoundrel is Clone wars Chewie, hes not exactly a carry. I wonder what the rewards are. If its worth a heavy up front investment to get paid off on the back end when I can do the 70 reliably...

Well, if you don't mind taking all the time in the world, just level/star up Chewie and he might never die (self-heals). Finish RG first. He's way too good to stop farming. You could use Cantina tokens to get Mob Enforcer -- that's just 2000 tokens (as long as you have Daka/QGJ).

Is it still good advice for me to take Sidius to 7* before I start spending arena shards on something else (ST Han I guess?) He's one of my stronger characters but the 100 shards seems like a big commitment when my roster still has a lot of holes in it.
