HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Star Wars Uprising sucked rear end. Controls were insanely annoying to deal with on a phone, it was very buggy because Kabam is a poo poo company. It was also super grindy in a way that even beats this dumb game. Even if you wanted to progress the story just to check it out you had to put significant time into running stupid rear end missions and you didn't even have a simulation option.

Im the one whose friend worked for Kabam but he moved to a completely different industry now. They just had no idea how to monetize the game in a way that made money. The company constantly had whales boycotting/protesting their various games due to their poo poo which is hilarious. Their games that made the most money were like... slot machines or something for phones I didnt understand it.


I use Andy OS 46.14.616 and it works pretty good if you're looking for an emulator. Bluestacks didnt work on my Windows 10.

That's pretty interesting and hilarious - how do you drop the ball on a SW phone game so badly? Goddamn. Glad your friend got out, although it's probably not a fun reason to 'get out' of the games industry for. Thanks for the insight, though.

My rebel squad really blazed through Palpatine until Tier VI, and 7* Palp is within reach I feel, even though I've been getting crushed a bit. I've got Ackbar at Gear IX, Lando at X, and Biggs, Han, and Leia at VIII (working on 7* Wedge, about 50 shards left). No mods on anyone, but I have a few level 15 ones I can put on people. The remaining gear slots are all pretty similar (Furnaces and hairdryers and that raygun thing), so for the moment I'm kind of farming all of that rather than upgrading anyone immediately.

Any general recommendations on whom to focus on? I think there's a decent chance I'll have 7* Wedge by the end, but if I can get 7* Palpatine with my current squad, I wouldn't mind scratching that off the list.

VV: Yeah, I've gotten a good few shards from there too. And thanks for the advice too, my Lando is pretty high (for me), so I'll drop gear into Biggs and STH, and see if I have any decent mods for them. And even if I don't, I can use whatever I have, +health on STH seems good.

Look for wedge shards in the ship shop. That will help push you over the edge.

If youve got mods use them, gear up your sth, lando and biggs.

I did it with wiggs/lando/sth/aa and nobody was higher than gear 7 ex.biggs/sth were 8. But I had 3-4* mods on everybody. Sounds like mods and/or wedge are your problem.

Wedge's healing would very much be welcome, yeah. Guess I'll see if I can slap all my 1* mods on people and maybe that will help. Worst case, I move my 2-3 sets of max-level gear onto the Rebels for some extra kick, or drop some credits on levelling stuff up. Not worrying too much right now, since there's a decent chance I'll get Wedge before it's all over, especially with some Fleet shipment luck.

EDIT: Got two Wedge purchases at the Fleet store after making this post. Not gonna complain at all, Wiggs is looking pretty likely.

If you don't get wedge in time, I beat it with AA, Leia, Lando, HRS, and STH, or something like that. Luke might have been in there. It took some RNG but you can totally do it. I had to figure out the phases and which levels to taunt and stuff, but it was doable.

Wiggs, Lando, STH, and someone else should be an easy win.

So I'm looking for some pvp arena advice, I currently run wedge (L), biggs, lando, sth, shore(5*) all at gear 11. I usually sit in the top 20, have broken into the top 10 a few times when I'm around at payout time. I'm looking to mix things up a bit and was wondering just how to, my shard around the top 30-15 is currently a mixture of the team I field, plus a few lando led wiggs teams, one or two droid teams with B2/JE, going further up the rankings you start to run into (top 10 and above) lots of Boba Leads, EP, Chaze, aayala, anakin, the odd ultra speed wiggs.

I'd like to experiment more with my pvp teams but have found I plummet fast when I make the wrong kind of team so I thought I'd ask here.

Characters to work with, assume 7* lv 85:

Gear 11
TFP, EP, Vader(6*), shore(5*), lando, wedge, biggs, boba fett, STH, 5s, QGJ, Anakin,Rex
Gear 10 (who you would actually use in arena)
RG, Sun Fac.

I've switched to EP(l), vader, TFP (222 speed), shore, RG just today and it's worked against a mirror team with sth instead of shore, and a wedge(l),biggs,sth, lando, EP team; but I'm not sure how it will fare against a ultra speed wiggs team.

Any other team suggestions that could work?

I currently run Boba/Wiggs/Sun Fac/Shoretrooper and I always get top 5 unless I am not playing the game at all anywhere near payout time. My shore is only 5*. You should be able to run that exact team, and it is scary good. I am working on modding up Boba, he wants all the speed you can get because everyone else on my shard is running him, and if they go first and manage to block him, you are in trouble. Some other guys run Anakin instead of SF, but I think SF is more useful.

I'm currently running Wedge (l), Biggs, Lando, as a core and then swap in various other characters depending on what I'm facing. If they're not running Baze or Shore, I'll use raid Han to stun their tank. If they are, I'll use B2. I usually use Baze as my tank unless they have B2, in which case I'll try STHan instead. I'm probably going to pull Lando and start trying Boba once I have him geared up.

I run the same, but with g10 Wiggs and 4* Shore. It hasn't been doing as well since TFP made his appearance in the meta. I finally decided to mix it up today with EP(L), TFP, Lando, Shore, STHan.

I just finished farming Chirpa and I'm not sure what to do next. I want either B2 or Finn for speed mods. My mods are really bad, and I'm surprised I'm as high ranked as I am considering everyone I fight usually has way more speed than I do. If I can farm speed mods I'll just do that until the end of time.

Correct.

Use your free bronzium opens, because you -can- get full character out of there (though it is rare) and save the rest for tournaments.

If you're following the general advice and building a good rebel squad, you should be kicking rear end in the tournaments at the lower level range. You can't get wedge until 60, I think, but until then you should build up the rest of the team as best you can.

Wedge (Cantina Battles) (eventually)
Biggs (Galactic War)
Lando (Cantina Battles) (Can also be used in credit heist)
Stormtrooper Han (Arena) (Can also be used in credit heist)
... and idk akbar? (Arena) (Can also be used as a commander for ships)

Droids are also very good in Arena-style combat, so build them up for a b-team in tournaments.

HK-47 (Arena)
IG-88 (Arena)(can also be used in the credit heist)
IG-86 (Galactic War)
Chief Nebit (Arena)
Jawa Engineer (only bought from guild store, so get in a guild and start contributing to rancor etc)

Dr. Venture posted:

Mods are actually pretty straightforward. The HP set is good for everyone starting out and the defense set is good for tanks, but the best sets are: Speed (hard to get because of the character requirements), crit damage, and crit chance. Put crit chance and crit damage on your damage dealers and keep the HP/defense sets on your tanks.

As for specific primary stats on the mods themselves: Speed arrow top right slot (for everyone), crit damage (crit chance is a solid placeholder) or protection in the middle right slot (DPS/tank), and offense/potency/protection for the bottom right (depends on the character and what you have at your disposal).

You can also look at what fellow goons have on their arena teams. You'll quickly notice a pattern. There isn't much variety there.

I forgot 2 things.

1: The 3 mods on the left side are more common and have less variance. Offense, Defense, then HP/Prot. HP is better for raids and healers, otherwise use Protection.

2: The secondary speed rolls are more important that the mod type or set (except in the case of crit damage) if the roll is high enough. Put your speed on Biggs so he can go first and erase someone, followed by STHan so he can taunt ASAP.

Because protection is pretty crazy at G10 +, it's really good in the bottom right - I usually prefer that over offense, even for heroes like Biggs.

If you do the math, offense sets are usually better than critical damage sets. Anyone with a guaranteed critical (Wiggs), or bonus crit/crit up (Lando, Leia, etc), are the exception here, but you generally need about 50% cc before 30% cd starts being better than 10% offense.

Let's take someone with 10k damage. At 50% cc (and a cd triangle), cd set: 50% * 1 * 10,000 + 50% * 2.16 * 10000 = 5000 + 10800 = 15,800. O set: 50% * 1.1 * 10000 + 50% * 1.1 * 1.86 * 10000 = 5500 + 10230 = 15730. Without really good cc secondaries, most heroes won't have 50% cc.

All that said, it doesn't make the biggest difference, and getting offense sets sucks.

Is there any way to avoid this? I threw my B-team at it first and it didn't do it, but as soon as I use my rebels the gun takes out one of them, hobbling my team synergy.

Can I wait a while and try again or will it be the same every time?

The last person to fight left the top cannon with too much turn meter. You can either wait for someone else to eat the bullet, or bring in a team with Old Ben and keep resetting until it targets him.
