I bought 2 of the fleet packs with some cyrstals i had saved up plus the 1000 bonus, then bought some cyrstals  (stupid new shiny stuff). That lot plus hammering gw shipments means I've got at 3* wedge, biggs, rex, ahsoka, 2* sun fac. plus, while my fleet arena has an ultrawhale at #1 (5* home one! meaning he has 7 or 8 ships at 4* at least,can't see how many 4* ships you'll need to do tier 4 of the capital ship challenges; but i think that's right). The rest of the shard isn't remotely close to his level and I hit 14th yesterday, looking to get top 5 today. I really like where ships are currently, there's no meta to speak of yet, and everybodies ships are low level enough that matches don't end in under 2 minutes like they do in pvp arena (hell most of those are decided by the 3rd move of the round).

Ships are fun and look great but they are basically a whole new game unto themselves that will need content produced for it, and tons of it. I am kind of worried what it means for the rest of the game. I think I prefer character battles more, personally.

I shot up from rank 40 to 30 by putting boba fett in my squad as lead. He ignores tanks and denies abilities. I keep knocking out lando's ability to crit or old Ben's mass denial. He double taps a lot and if there's someone with a few buffs on them they are obliterated. I don't think I'll go full bounty hunter, but for now it's great.

There must be some serious cash cows bank rolling this game because in the past year I've been playing I haven't felt the need to spend a dime and I've gotten a ton of playtime and heroes. Credit to the devs they've really improved and expanded on the game. It's a bit hap-hazard at times but they are not shy from making tweaks and changes as the need arises. I'm also super happy I spent so much time and resources with my 7* Boba Fett just because he is cool even though he sucked. He's back in my regular squads now and he is awesome.

They really can't stop being greedy cunts for just one day, can they? Their black friday offer is 25% more crystals. For comparison, in Marvel Future Fight, the black friday offer is triple premium currency.

I'm still working on him but I'm not sure how he would fit into my Wiggs/Lando/JKA/STHan team. I sounds like 88 and JE would synergize really well with him. JE buffs, 88 unloads his AoE and debuffs the enemy team, then Boba's leader allows him to go next. JE's bombs would even be a little more useful, and he can resurrect 88.

Ship credits seem scarce so I'm starring the ships I've already leveled to 60. Resistance Pilot has a pretty good vanilla X-wing. I like how it has an ability to straight up target lock someone. Plus, I need to level her (is it really a her?) for the speed mod challenge. I'm also doing TIE Pilot because I'm currently gearing and starring him in cantina. He seems super squishy, but his basic has a good chance to target lock and his 2nd ability can buff block and gives him foresight. I finally geared up my 4* Shoretrooper. He makes Han Solo teams a joke, but I still really miss the TM manipulation from my STHan. I'm currently running Wiggs, Lando, JKA, Shoretrooper. I'll see how far I drop in arena by tomorrow.

Jerkface posted:I just ran Emp (L), WIGGS, RG, Shoretrooper into a droid team with B2 and only shoretrooper died so it seems pretty good. I'm gonna try with Lando + STHAN & Wiggs next. Other possibilities...first, do you have EE to 7*, G9ish? He's really good with EP (L), RG, Shore, and Lando. Instead of EE you can also run a whole bunch of other people in there, including B2, JKA, STH, Daka, QGJ, etc. Basically it's a control shell around EP, RG and Shore. Wiggs not necessary thanks to Shore. It's my honest opinion that Lando is like 5x better than Wedge or Biggs, the only problem is that he's best with Wedge lead. 30% damage is much better than 29% crit damage (even at 100% crit rate -- 10k damage -> 13k * 1.0 * 216% = 28,080 vs 10k * 1 * 245% = 24,500). 10% TM is also better than 15 speed because Lando can get 5 crits with his ability, and healing on crit and kill gives Lando a lot of survivability. That's not to say that Wiggs are bad, they're just lackluster against Shoretrooper comps (crit immunity). Basically if you're running the three of them you need to be able to stun Shoretrooper before he goes, but if there's a Rex, EE, or Yoda, that becomes a lot harder. EP/RG make it a lot easier to handle Shoretrooper. Anyways, back to the point I'm trying to make, Lando can still shine with the right package against an EP, Shore, RG team comp, but that isn't Wiggs anymore. You pretty much need your own EP/Shore or Rex + others. So, with the thing you're going to try next, I'd do Wedge lead, Biggs, STH, Lando, Shore. I still think the EP team will be better though. In other news, I just played against Rex (L), Shore, B2, EP, Ani, and I barely got to play. Highly recommend if you have the heroes... Oh yeah, other other news, Decided to buy an 8-pack (Thanksgiving 1k crystals really helped there), got 3 full heroes, Zam, Lobot, and someone that turned into shards. I don't remember what the other random shards were, but nothing too exciting. I then did this on my alt, and got a full B2...but I'm still quitting that account. Too much of a slog. I think I'm still going to try to buy a couple more 8-packs, see if I can get lucky with a Baze or Shoretrooper unlock. Kinda hoping for Baze cause I have over 6k shard shop currency, which isn't enough to unlock him, but could get him to 4 star if I unlocked him. I would also be happy with 10 shoretrooper shards (but a full unlock would get him to 4* as well). Malgrin fucked around with this message at 08:38 on Nov 26, 2016 |

I really want to try him but I still need to farm him a furnace. There are a lot of team possibilities here. I need to make up my mind which direction to go in.

Zone of Danger posted:Anyone able to confirm that later capital ships upgrade tiers require specific fleets? Heard the later tarkin upgrades require a dark side fleet Yup, they do require specific fleets. Both Ackbar and Mace need light side ships (and Tarkin needs dark side), and unlike the earlier levels, you can just go in with a bunch of random unleveled ships. I wasn't able to beat it with most of my ships around level 40-60 and most pilots pretty well leveled and geared. I am also very short on ship credits, mostly because I whaled a little on ships. I still don't have Slave 1 or the Falcon, but I do have everything else unlocked at least. My personal opinions on the ships: Good ships: Scimitar (Maul) - Has a nice special that stealths everyone but one ship and has a unique that gives stealthed ships +15% offense (at level 1, should get much better later) Biggs/Wedge - Partly because I have these guys maxed out, but Biggs has a nice taunt that pops when someone gets target locked, and he seems to be a pretty good tank. Wedges abilities aren't that great, so maybe he is just here because I have him maxed out. Sun Fac - Again, maxed out character, but he also has a very nice unique that makes him taunt when an enemy with a buff takes a turn. He also has a stun, and enough health to tank for a while. Rex - Very nice skills, wish I had him at more than 3*. Once I get people to 5* for the challenges, I think I will work on blueprints for him. Has a nice target lock special, and a unique that heals protection when people resist debuffs. Also has a nice heal/TM boost, with republic synergy (its cooldown is reduced by 1 for every other republic ship) Everything else seems OK for now, I am not a fan of the TIE with no protection though, protection seems to be a lot of the health of ships and there seem to be a lot of protection based heals. Interesting, when looking at the stats for my ships to confirm this, it seems like all the protection on a ship comes from its crew. Not sure how exactly that works though. Edit: SWGOH.gg added ships: https://swgoh.gg/units/ships/ Holy crap Vader's ship looks totally overpowered. Wish I hadn't used up nearly all my ally points in the last tourney. two_step fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Nov 26, 2016 |

At this point, I think you have to pick and choose your tournaments. Unless you have 300k+ AP, you won't place very highly. You probably need 500k for top 1-3 in most brackets. You might be able to game the system a little by when you join, but I think by now, top players will be spread out across starting times. While I think this tournament is worth throwing everything you have at it, I am actually leaning towards minimal effort in the hopes that there will be a second DV tournament. Unless you still have a stockpile of GW and/or AP, you might want to consider doing the same. If I end up on an easy shard, I will throw what I have at it (probably 200k by the end of the tournament), but otherwise plan to save my AP. I've been putting GW into AP, but I think right now the smarter choice is to at least get 7 ships to 4* before doing that. I've been scoring top 50 on ships, but that is getting harder as others have been starring their ships faster than me. An unlocked advanced tie could change that a lot, but I'm not even sure I can unlock it with 200k. I would rather save and have 300k+ for the next torunament.

Chilichimp posted:You should also not bother to push for a high-rank tourney if you aren't rocking the current max meta squads. Yeah, I'm a little worried that my Wiggs squad won't cut it next tournament. There are going to be too many max Shoretrooper squads. My EP/TFP squad (minus shore) is nearly ready, and I just need another like 30 cuff salvage to take TFP to G10, and I only need to farm I think one stun cuff there to go to G11. He's still 5* though...might be 6* by tournament. Anyways, my thought is to try out EP (L), TFP, JKA, RG, +1 (EE, Daka, QGJ, something like that) My other squad would be Wiggs, Lando, STH + 1. I will probably put 30-50k AP into this tournament regardless and see how hard my shard is -- even making like top 500 should give you some good ship resources -- credits and whatnot. Zone of Danger posted:Seems like it'd be a good idea to identify a full dark side team to at least be able to complete the ability mat challenge for Zeta materials. Assuming Sun Fac and Maul are a problem, literally the only options are..GSoldier, GSpy, both Tie Fighters, Slave 1? I think that's it? Yeah, but I think we're going to get a lot more pretty soon, Rogue One release, then I'd expect a Christmas patch, and a lot of obvious characters don't have ships yet. I think we can expect ships for all of these DS heroes: Asajj Cad Phasma (maybe not until E8) Dooku Sidious? Grievous Veers Greedo IG-88 Kylo Savage Zam e: for arena, if you are having a hard time with Wiggs against Wiggs, you might be doing it wrong. These days I'm beating faster Biggs without switching from Wedge to Lando lead more consistently. The extra damage, TM gain, and life gain are actually pretty important. I just did two mirror matches in a row, Wiggs, Lando, JKA, STH, and in both Biggs was faster than me. In one, they targeted Lando, and he lived. I returned fire on Lando, not quite killing him. My JKA + Lando aoe fixed that. Our STHs went down at about the same time, but with my Lando doing AOE duty, I won pretty handily. Match 2, his Biggs went first, killing my Biggs. I used JKA to ability block their STH (if this had missed, I admittedly would have lost). I then killed Lando, then JKA, and won with Lando's AOE. I've also won with them sniping any of my other characters. JKA doesn't usually die from that first attack, although he'll usually die from Lando or JKA aoe. Wedge will usually die from the snipe, same with Biggs (although sometimes he lives because Biggs triggers his evasion up and he dodges one of the next attacks). STH also usually survives long enough to get his taunt up, but will die from one more attack. So, as much as it sucks not to break up that Wiggs power wombo, I would really recommend taking down Lando, then JKA for much more consistent wins. e2: some notes on ships. Biggs is probably the best starter ship, followed by JC. While underleveled (both for ship and hero), Clone Sergeant is also very effective. I've been saving one shipment per day for Slave 1, because that ship is supposed to be really, really good. I would put more into it, but my Boba has poo poo for gear, and TFP is generally a higher priority, although Boba is right behind him. Also I only see Slave 1 about once a day anyways...regardless, I save enough currency to make sure I can buy that shipment if it pops up. With JC and GS, Biggs can stay alive for a long time. Since he gains protection on applying target lock, and his basic applies it, he can gain the protection whether or not the target is already target locked. Additionally, JC gives his assist protection up. Ackbar also has a debuff/heal ability that keeps him up. I still think that long term, Ackbar will turn out to be a weaker commander, but, for now I think he's pretty awesome with the ships we have available. I've seen a lot of people complaining about TFP -- with Ackbar as commander, I think running TFP is fantastic -- as your 6th ship. He enters with Advantage and full TM.

Someone convince me that levelling and gearing Raid Han isn't a good idea. It just seems like he would do so well against Wiggs teams, droid teams, basically anyone who doesn't have Shore or Baze (which on my soft shard is pretty much everyone). He's a rebel as well so it seems like he'd be a natural fit for a Wiggs/Lando team. Only thing stopping me is that I don't see anyone else using him, ever, so I feel like I'm missing something.
