I agree, the healing from Lumi and Daka is important when you're a lowbie still clearing and trying to 3* levels. It's also important for lowbie GW. Once you run Lando, Biggs, Wedge, QGJ, and *** (I use Palp, any DPS is good) you will faceroll GW and not need a healer. Field Mousepad posted:Why is qgj so good? Is it the +50% assist damage? Cause other than that he seems pretty meh. His assist can call another high damage attacker, his omega basic can reduce TM (also good when someone calls him to assist), and perhaps most importantly his 3rd ability removes buffs from target enemy (this includes taunts) while also giving your entire team offense up. One of the best newbie characters, good for Rancor, and still solid for arena (though not top top tier anymore). e: His assisted teammate will also be healed with the omega version. If he doesn't seem good at the momoment that means you need to up his gear and star level. He will get tankier and start dishing out the damage, just watch.

Malgrin posted:However, if you start having a harder time with GW and Arena, you can think about adding another star to Lumi (I'm assuming you already have put some into her?). Also, 5* is less than half of the way to 7* (145/330), so getting a few heroes to 5* is not terrible (except for the first one -- so I get if you want to get her there first...). I just unlocked Lumi last night and bought another 5x shards this morning before seeing this post so she's not incredibly far along. I'm currently in a smaller guild that does T5 raiding so I have incentive to rush someone to T5. I plan to swap over guilds once I can get a T7 if there's space somewhere. Lando shards have been incredibly elusive to me. I started right when I hit 28 and I've spent 100-200 crystals a day and have done nothing but him and I'm only at 61 shards so it's pretty safe to say Wedge is a long ways off. Plus you have to be 69 to even have access to Wedge so we need to factor that in. I'm 90 shards away (6 days) from making Lumi 5 stars, I could potentially shave that down with LS/DS missions but it seems the consensus is to not do that. In terms of clearing content in the short term, I'm not incredibly worried due to lvl 75++ ally help. GW itself has been really easy so far, I've only had to retreat once out of 3 full clears but obviously that is subject to change as time goes on. If I bother pushing Lumi to 5, it's a tough sell not to just push her to 7 since I'd be half way there. I feel like I need to sever immediately if I'm switching to someone else as my first 7. Due to Wedge being so far away, I'm inclined to think Phasma would be the correct choice if Biggs is lackluster without Wedge. Should I just stick with my guns and finish Lumi? I also need to figure out my arena team with what I have. My pool is essentially STH, Lando, QGJ, RG, Lumi, JC, and Asajj. +Phasma or Biggs if I switch GW strides. I understand the value of Rey, but that's a ways off til I can start raiding.

Yeah, probably just go all the way with her. She will help carry you through GW for a long time. I also forgot that you have to wait awhile to get Wedge...that's more than enough time to max Lando and work on someone else (just post in here how far you've cleared in Cantina at that point and we'll tell you who you should farm). Also, last night I went through and made some adjustments to the game guide. Nothing major, mostly who to farm type stuff. e: With no announcements made by now, raid will probably not be released this week. Probably next Tuesday through Thursday?

Sources say new raid goes live tomorrow. If you have enough to start a raid tonight, DO IT. e: Additionally, I've been messing around with a few arena team comps, and trying to figure out exactly which is the best F2P team comp. Right now, I'm running: Lando (L), Wedge (slow), Biggs (245), STH (slow), Poe (230 speed). I put the speeds in there because that is actually important, except for Lando. At the top end of arena, I run into Rex teams, and anyone going before your tank is bad in that situation, because you'll crit, and then their whole team will go first. So, that's the first order of business, make sure your team goes after your tank. I hold onto STH's taunt until Poe's taunt gets removed. This gives me some nice TM gain to push through the rest of the match. Unfortunately, because I'm running Lando L, Biggs actually goes before Poe. Another option then is: Wedge (L), Biggs, Lando, STH, Poe. Same speeds and everything. Biggs now goes at the same speed as Poe. However, when he attacks, whichever two rebels attack with him will also be gaining TM. Another advantage with this build, Lando now gains up to 50% TM off his AOE, which is a lot more than +15 speed. 30% Offense is also better than 29% Crit damage. The final option I'm looking at, since I very nearly have G10 JKA, is: JKA (L), Palp, Lando, STH, RG. With this team comp, I'm counting on the fact that you've got 3 must-kill targets, with two tanks. If you go for JKA, Lando and Palp do a lot of damage. If you ignore JKA, he murders you. e2: Now that B2 is F2P, it probably belongs in that last comp over RG...but I still need to farm shards Malgrin fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Oct 20, 2016 |

Davethulhu posted:Big update for Yoda. Leading with Battle Meditation makes him much better on defense. Anakin lead Yoda is sounding yummy. You could also run QGJ lead, but his leader only affects Jedi, where Anakin gives half to others (and full to clones). You could round this out with STH/Poe and then RG/B2.

Looks like it would be good if it were +crit chance or something like that. Crit avoidance is lame but that's part of her gimmick I guess.

My impression is that her last round of buffs allowed her to put out pretty decent damage, but in terms of utility she still doesn't hold a candle to JKA or QGJ. You won't be replacing anyone in your arena team with her, though I can see her being useful in an all-Jedi GW B or C team, and if I had to guess I'd say her healing will also be useful for all-Jedi teams in the new raid.

I dunno, probably not a good plan to kick off a T7 first, though we will want to kick off both raids before the daily timer tonight. What do folks think about a T6 AAT? I suppose we could wait a couple hours to see if the whales are able to sweep through T7 super quick.

It's not clear to me if the top tier of the new raid is gated behind a success in the lower tier, like with the rancor. I'd say we should start the highest tier we can, and maybe limit everyone to one attack per phase so we can mitigate problems if people end up blowing their load in the earlier phases.

New raid is live. There are some videos on Reddit, it looks like it is tougher than the rancor, so my vote is to start out with a T6, even though that doesn't give us general kenobi shards, and he looks like a total beast.

Client restarted, you can now run raids. New raid reward is General Kenobi, and it's time to start farming up Jedi. He is completely crazy. I'm looking at a couple possibilities, but General Kenobi (L), Barris, Kit Fisto, Aayla, and then one of: JKA, QGJ, Ahsoka, Fives. Here's the current, level 1 wording of Kenobi's leader ability: 212th Attack Battalion Commander: Jedi and Clone allies gain 15% Max Health and 55% Defense. After a Jedi ally uses a team healing Special ability, all other allies at full health are called to Assist, dealing 50% less damage. When a Clone ally uses a special ability, they gain a buff (Atk: Advantage, Sup: Stealth, Tank: Taunt) for 1 turn. Here's his other amazing ability: Lead the Charge (CD 4): Deal Physical damage to target enemy, grant a random other ally Offense Up for 2 turns, then call all other buffed allies to assist, dealing 60% less damage. His basic can grant an ally foresight, and he has two other specials, one dispels debuffs and grants opposite buffs, while the other grants him foresight at the end of the turn. The other gives an ally crit immunity and kenobi a taunt when an ally receives a critical hit. So, total of 5 abilities including leader. So, Barris is there to trigger assists from her her basic attack (triggering a heal) or her heal. She has a 45% chance off her basic. Kit Fisto can get an additional attack whenever he does a basic, and gains TM on a basic attack, so getting called by Kenobi's leadership or lead the charge is very good. Also, if you make him very fast, he will lead with Potency Up, which will make Kenobi's Lead the Charge call all allies. Aayla is similar -- on a basic attack, she can call an ally. Adding Critical Hit stuns and counters makes her very effective. JKA is obviously a strong pick here, as he's generally brutal and awesome. QGJ is there cause he can dispel taunts, call assists, and do tm stuff on basics. Ahsoka heals on her special (3 turn cd) when an opponent has 50% or more health, which will call a bunch of assists (which can trigger Barris' heal and call assists). Finally, Fives can get a 1 turn taunt every 3rd turn by calling an assist (which could do more silly things thanks to Barris, Kit, and Aayla). At 6 shards per raid (4th through 50th), and one raid every 3 days (90k -- so you guys need to step up your coin farming game) gets you Kenobi in165 days. He'll probably be pretty good at 5* though, if you have the jedis for it. That'll be in about 2-3 months, so, you might want to start farming your jedi.

I have also kicked off the Rancor Raid. I started it early so we don't lose out on rollover currency. Damage phase starts tomorrow evening 9PM pacific time. The reason we started early is because we got a full load of guild currency when the new raid dropped. Edit: updated the above. Davethulhu fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Oct 22, 2016 |

Being able to clear debuffs seems like it'd be needed. I went with my normal team of Phasma, QGJ, Geno, Rey and Fives and did bad. Fives is probably really useful, though, as I had slow up on all of them quick enough.

I tried multiple variations of full Jedi teams including Anakin, Aayla (thought the 40% tenacity would let me resist the debuffs...yeah nope), IGD and Barriss leads. In the end I stuck with Barriss, reached the enrage and did little over 200k damage. I thought Jedi would rule this first phase  My Jedi have rather ghetto mods though, maybe someone else will have more luck with them.
