Ah poo poo. Made it to durasteel and the game offered me a selection of cards like GONK and AT-ST but I wasn't sure what I wanted yet and hit X.

Now the game doesn't want to give me the choice anymore.

Kinda unfair to put me on the spot like that then punish me for being indecisive, Force Arena.

I have Ezra + Unique and don't really get what his deal is. Ezra has a weird unique movement thing where he dashes/jumps in when you make him run, his main attack is saber but after a few hits he jumps back and shoots his gun and then stands around and gets shot a bunch. His unique guy is supposed to deflect blaster fire but I've never seen him do it.

All in all I think we could all do...

idk about the deck specifically, but I feel like my empire decks all live and die based on what happens when I drop rocket trooper or ATST on the lane that isn't being focused on and how I can take advantage of it. And Thrawn is the only hero I've had much success with (really like how he summons stormtroopers while shooting). Empire also seems to need more proper placement between long and short attackers, they fall apart harder and faster when you get into situations where you're just tapping cards to pop out of your hero or tossing them as far forward as you can.

Palpatine seems pretty strong in 2V2! And the grenades are surprisingly helpful removal. Wish the toxic ones were a smidge faster, though.

She's seems strong! Her primary attack is interesting in that after a few ranged shots she dashes in for a melee strike, then dashes back out. Gives a good moment to toss a stun grenade either before or after. The dash and slash is surprising and takes people off guard. Her ultimate does a lot of damage too and gives her distance from her target when activated.

So far I've had better luck with her in taking out enemy leaders than I ever did with Boba Fett, who (I think) is the only leader who gets bonuses agaisnt them.

Her passive buff to the grenadier makes him a straight up murderer, too.

Can someone explain the AT-ST to me? It seems like it's weak versus pretty much, everything. While it's only strength is against turrets and buildings. Feels like energy that could be better used on a MTV or heavy troopers.

Empire sucks rear end and should never be queued into 2v2. Just don't. It's loving miserable with how fast the Rebels can spawn units and just overwhelm you and theres nothing you cna do about it. In 1v1 it seems manageable but its just unfun and miserable in 2v2.

I just did my 10 empire battles on 2vs2 with all random people and honestly won at least 5. It's made me rethink empire, like perhaps they're balanced for that. We'd do really well if he my partner had walkers and tanks, along with higher cost units. I used a lot of support like stun grenades, force pikes, nerve gas, and the AoE stuff. Empire has a lot more support vs the rebels troop selection so the cost effectiveness went way up. You can get a good mix of support and firepower in a 2 on 2 on empires side but the rebels really can only double the swarm size.

I have to give it up to MasterRoach. He and I did all 20 of the required turret kills for the empire mission and it was loving miserable. There were games where we'd get zero credit because we couldn't kill a single turret. A couple times we both zerged the same lane and still couldn't kill a turret. I didn't keep track but we got maybe 2 wins total? Afterwards we went back to face rolling with rebels and both felt pretty bad picking on poor empire. I'm enjoying the game but I'm worried the gross imbalance will scare people off, and I don't blame them :(

Yes, I dropped $20 on the game and it felt so good to not give it to SWGOH. I just used it to buy credits. Not sure how I feel about the flame unit over grenadiers, I'll have to keep an eye on them because they are lower level and I think shorter range. I love the drop pod, couldn't really get into the stun grenades. Maybe if I was melee.

2v2 was definitely awful. That's a good point about 1v1, it might be more manageable there.

Trying to make decisions about what to keep in my deck has been a little confusing so I made a quick chart to see where my best values were. This completely ignores health/movement speed/etc. so the specialty units are going to fair poorly, but I was more interested in sifting through the rank-and-file units anyway. Feel free to comment/analyze further:

code:
Unit			DPS	Unit Count	Cost	Dps/Cost
Twilek Rebels		30	4		1	120
Rebel Honor Guards	85	4		5	68
Talz Marauders		44	3		2	66
Rebel Troopers		28	4		2	56
Rebel Pathfinders	81	2		3	54
Dressellian Sniper	174	1		4	43.5
Wookiee Warrior		127	1		3	42.33333333
Rebel Grenadier		100	1		3	33.33333333

Imperial Heavy Gunners	199	3		5	119.4
Devaronian Bladesmen	121	2		3	80.66666667
Stormtroopers		41	3		2	61.5
Sandtrooper		94	1		3	31.33333333
Rocket Stormtrooper	88	1		3	29.33333333
Probe Droid		60	1		3	20
All these dudes are lvl 6 except the Wookie (lvl 4), and Sniper/Heavy Gunners/Rocket ST (lvl5). My Imperial sharpshooter is only lvl 3 so I'm not including him.

I've only played like 4 or 5 matches so obviously I'm at the low level but wow people just don't even bother spawning units half the time. I haven't lost a match or heck even a tower yet. I'm sure I'll be getting my face stomped pretty soon but for now people don't seem to get that it's not just a hero vs hero MOBA.

Other than that this game is pretty fun, good change of pace from Galaxy of Heroes. The main menu artwork on the heroes also look nice.

Finally got my free unlock, picked Cassian, and I had gotten K-2SO from a pack. Running them together with some other high-level units that I have and seeing what ticks.

I'm also in love with the turrets, it's so nice to plop down a level 6 one and seeing it hold a lane back while you get a fatty down or something. High level rebel guards and being lucky with some tank pulls is excellent. Not too impressed with the marauders, but that's what practice is for.

EDIT: Holy poo poo Cassian is amazing.

I too just got K2 from the trader dude. I like him as a damage sponge, while the big yeti guy sits behind him killing all the things.

I'm not a big fan or turrets though. The crazy spam cheap guys seems totally OP for rebels, unless the enemy has a bunch of AoE they are gonna die.

It's sorta funny how not fun it is to play as Dark Side versus Cassians and Lukes especially chasing those Empire Missions.

Versus Hans and Ezras I don't mind.

The only Darksiders I have with a partner worth their spit is Grand Inquisitor w/ Eighth Bro and it was a complete slog destroying 20 turrets and/or shield-gens with them.

Why not at least give either Vader or Inquisitor the ability to reflect shots like Luke?

Since I chose Sabine for my mission Legendary I figured I'd gamble even though I read how bad of an idea it is to trade Legendaries at the store and for the most part, it is a pretty bad idea. I would continuously spend thousands just to trade a card for another one I had but, after 3 back to back trades resulting in duplicates I finally pulled Cassian.
