A guildmate of mine put together a bunch of "How do I mod X?" trading cards that are a pretty good primer on playing to the strengths and weaknesses of different characters. He's making more all the time.

Yeah, when they first launched it seemed really nice and fun. But I guess with everyone now having beefed up their pilot cahracters and ships it's reached a saturation point where it's just a loving slog and everything takes forever.

Unlocking and starring up a whole jawa team takes a while, there's not really a shortcut you just gotta grind that poo poo out.

I think there's only 5 jawas you can have, Dathcha, Jawa, Jawa Engineer, Jawa Scavenger and Chief Nebit. One comes from arena, one from GW, one from cantina tokens, one from guild tokens, and the other from cantina/LS/DS battles. Enjoy!

It's pretty easy if you focus your gear and effort on Nebit and JE, though JE is a pretty slow farm. I think I finished it with 6* Jawa, 5* Jawa Scavenger, 7* for the rest. G7-G8 mostly.

I love all my jawas. JE is the last hold out at 80/100, but soon they'll all be gear 8, 7*.

It was pretty crappy when I started, but it goes fast since they get shards from different sources. Learn to see the journey of leveling them as your focus instead of the destination of critical damage mods and your quality of life will improve.

I've been using Fives as a reinforcement against these teams to good effect. I run Biggs/Vader/Tie Fighter/Slave 1/Jedi Consular as my initial line up and while I do focus on one ship I try and spread as many target locks around as I can and wittle down each ships protection. By the time I lose a ship I usually have target lock on at least 3 ships and when Fives comes in with a guaranteed critical and +80% damage to the entire team, he usually takes out at least 2 of the squisiher ships (Wedge/Ahsoka/etc...).

One of the top 5 on my shard runs the Mace stall comp and I beat it with 4 minutes remaining yesterday using this approach.

This is some God-tier advice that I often have to remind myself of and one does well to apply it to every game in this type of genre.

It's either that or just stop playing and do something else with your free time, which is exactly what a friend of mine just did and he's all the happier for it.

My fleet strategy has been using JC and Geo Soldier with Ackbar so that there's always a lot of out-of-turn attacks and bonus protection flying around. It's mostly working, I'm up to top 20 in my shard but who knows if it'll last.

From when damage starts you have 3-4 hoes to get a hit in currently with QGJ, this time will only decrease so make sure you know what your window is, and when damage start is.

Yup, still ironing out some of the kinks, there's always a few people that have the wrong start time but they usually only put up several thousand damage, although this time someone blasted P1 an hour ahead of time.

Get your Phasma/STH max TM on node 1

Take them out of the roster until poo poo gets had 9/11/12

Put them in to help crush a bitch. (The longer you can keep them out, the better)

I've also taken to doing the same with Boba Fett (AOE ability block) and TFP (buff immunity)

After that's all good, I just faceroll with rebels.

Poor game design.

Next hero will start the round with taunt + counter attack + dispell and stun on basic that call-assists another toon who strong AoE's on basic or some stupid poo poo.

edit:

oh and tenacity up on basic for good measure.

Honestly. Baze and Sun Fac both are just loving way OP.

In general, how do you deal with Boba? I'm newish (62), so right now my main arena team is Lando / STH / Lumi / QGJ and no one really for the fifth slot yet, I'm grinding for some recommended characters but right now trying out Mace. I normally dodge Boba but that's getting harder, so I've been nuking the healers and killing the rest of the team while trying to ignore him. Is it best to just try and blow him away as fast as I can?

I don't think Sun Fac is in the same ballpark as the Rogue One guys. He was definitely OP when he showed up half a year ago and paired with RG, but he's very slow and these days you can nuke right past him before he gets going, or just Buff Immunity him and make him useless. He's still great in stalling teams don't get me wrong but Chaze >>> SF.

I disagree. Counter-attack + dispell on basic is just as loving stupid as Baze all by himself.

It's Baze + Chirrut that get really broken.

You shouldn't be attacking SF until last though, and if you're having trouble with his Taunt then your team has other problems. I think SF is a good gate-keeper to the top-tier teams. If you have a top-tier arena team, IMO, SF isn't really a threat unless he's in a team of world-beaters, as there are too many ways nowadays to either get rid of his Taunt right away or prevent him from ever doing it to begin with (B2, JKA, TFP, EP, Baze, comedy Echo option for Clones, and good ol' QGJ). And I didn't even mention Ability Blocking him or Dazing him. He's a good check for some sort of dispel or BI, so if you just have a vanilla Wiggs team then yea, you might struggle. But his speed and his crap damage keep him out of the elite of the elite, again, IMO.

Option 1, get your own boba and kill the opponent's with execute. Alternatively try to kill him right after he attacks, so you can get him a second time before he fills his meter.
