You've got some options.

TFP can put buff immunity on the entire party.
QGJ has an offensive dispell.
Sun Fac has a taunt, dispells on basic, and counter-attacks.

Chaze is loving stupid, and most people have problems with them, even people with giant stables.

I can't even get low enough to fight Chaze teams, man. I'm having trouble with super-fast Boba Fett and EP groups. I have no means by which to stop perfectly modded meta-gods.

Once I'm able to beat those, THEN I get to try my had at Chaze...

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?

Don't get mace, he's awful (at least for right now)

I'd suggest getting Admiral Ackbar from the arena store and stacking him with tenacity. As long as he can resist Boba's ability block, he can use his cleanse special to remove ability block and DoTs from the rest of your squad.

Plus, AA is a cornerstone of any good rebel squad because of his speed buff and double-special buff that synergizes very very well with Lando and QGJ. On top of that, he's a solid fleet commander, so you get to double-dip.

While it's reasonable to try to come up with counter-chaze tactics in the long term, for now I think you just have to do what the rest of us do and avoid fighting chaze teams. If you get one in GW, that's bad luck. Otherwise, pick another team to fight in the arena. If you're already closing in on the top 20, then that's kind of what the meta looks like at that rank. Surely you've encountered whales in other games?

I cannot imagine how long pvp takes against cap ships with lots of stars and lots of reserves given it probably takes a long time to kill just 1 ship. They really didn't test enough on this.

IMO, it would have been more fun if the cap ships had hit points and the side that takes down the other one first wins. I don't know what that would look like but fending off hordes of snub fighters isn't really a fun meta-game.

On a different note, somoebody found what looks like a developer created account. Possibly created to give the whales on a certain shard something to chase. All of the characters are 7 stars/GL XI. I wonder what the value of this account would be in USD...

Nope, that's a whale.


e: To clarify, he's a well known whale, and has probably spent > 15k.

My understanding is that developers can have personal accounts mixed in with the normal game, they get a small advantage due to insider knowledge, but it's not a huge advantage and since they aren't whales, they aren't really competition for the whales. However, they do get special accounts outside of the normal game that have unlimited crystals. Some streamers were brought into the big EA event and given those kind of accounts so that they could test everything out. One of those looks like this:

Ummm errr, I unlocked the ship for the tutorial I think it's like an X-wing or something it might be Wedge's I don't know"

Hey buddy, how bout telling us what the abilities you're using are, how bout explain what's going on other than visually, like stats wise or anything at all really! These types of "guide" or tutorial or even just first reaction videos where people literally don't even know what is happening on screen while they commentate over it is just pathetic.

How did this person get access to the dev account, how is he even working on a youtube account that gets this much revenue? IT WAS TERRIBLE!! IT'S A TRAP!!!

Yeah, if you look at SWGOH streaming content, the quality is generally pretty bad. Warrior (from TI) has some decent stuff, but he's pretty hit and miss. I want to say EA pulled in something like 10 streamers and gave them access to those kind of accounts.

I'm confident you could make a better channel -- but is it really worth your time?

I just hit a full Rogue One team in arena. They were all in their mid-50s and 4-5 star so I figured my assorted 4-7 star team of mid-60s to 70s Ackbar/Leia/Rey/Luminara/Biggs could deal with them and by the end Baze had so many buffs it took up half the length of my phone screen

Him and K2 were trading taunts and counter-attacking every loving time
