I'd actually recommend Barriss and Wedge. I mean, I guess if you run Old Ben and Lumi with Jedi that'd be decent. If anyone has a decently maxed Ahsoka, they could put that in lead, Ahsoka + Lumi (L) + Jedi would be pretty crazy. Ahsoka + OB with Jedi would be better -- tons of evasion and TM gain on evasion. Maybe worth a shot. Mine's G8, not omegaed (+14% evasion, gain 15% TM on evade -- omega adds 5% TM gain). If you add in JKA, QGJ, Barriss, and Yoda, you'll have a solid chance of beating it.

I've also heard that zQGJ works pretty well, but you'll have to find someone with that Zeta....good luck.

I can put my G8 5* GK in my lead if people want to friend me and try that out -- let me know. He's got 40k ehp (22k hp) with 180 speed with my current setup -- it isn't optimized but it's pretty good. Maxed abilities, might help people that are close, especially anyone that's got a solid Jedi comp.

a) Yes.

b) Yes, but not as well. You need a pretty specific team comp (Teebo, TFP, Maul, Jyn and Cassian) to get it rolling, from what I've heard, in P1. I think there's another comp that will help you get Maul up and running by starting in P2.

I actually think another way you could get it running in P1 is with Zader (L), and just never use DoTs in P1. I'd probably want TFP, Maul, Rex, and Jyn to get that going. You could probably do EP + Rex (since Jyn is impossible to get 7*), but you definitely need someone with a 100% TM down chance. You could do Teebo, but you only get 2/4 turns stealthed, so I'm not sure that's worth it...although if you omega his special and don't BI give GG BI, that's a 3rd TM down ability.


e:
Zader, Rex, Maul, TFP, one of (Teebo, Jyn, Sidious, EP).
The point here is to get Maul up and running. Don't use DoTs ever here (in P1). If you use Teebo, make sure his basic and Bring Low are omegaed, and don't use BI on GG -- this means he'll gain his triangle and you'll have to kill all his guards instead of just using BI on them. However, this means he should be able to use TM down on 3/4 turns (2 stealth, 1 Bring Low, 1 nothing, 1 stealth ability)
The goal here is to have two people that have 100% chance to remove some TM, and then you can follow that up with other people that have 50% chance. Murder B2 first. Start by only hitting GG with TFP until you land Tenacity down, and count hits on him. Make sure your 7th is a 100% TM down ability. This should get Maul up to enough HP to start going crazy for as long as possible.

Oh hey, these two things were pretty easy to miss from the updates

quote:

You've all been speculating some interesting guesses for February's daily login character (and some of you have been right on the money!), but Kylo Ren will be the daily Login character for February, complete with some exciting new improvements. Please look forward to them.

Starting in March, we will begin rotating the Grand Master's Challenge with the Emperor's Demise Event every other month. These events will still take place on the second Thursday of the month and will last for 7 days. Yoda will run in February, Palpatine in March, Yoda in April, etc. For more information, please see @EA_Jesse’s Events Information post for updates on all event schedules.

If JKA and Boba were any indication, I'd recommend farming Kylo now. Too bad he's Cantina :(. I'm doing it anyways DS is going to be beast. If they make him Sith (His master clearly was Sith, so it makes some sense), he could be amazing in a Zader comp.


e: while I'm at it, I might start working on FOST's shards again, just need 60 to do offense challenges. His 9-A shard gives MK 10 Blastechs and MK7 Shield Generators. Ooh, one of his others gives Mk1 BAW armor mods. I realize these are the easiest things to farm, cause you can get 2 out of one mission, but, I'm always out of these cause of stupid scanners.

Huh, so for any Goon whales, if you want to start rocking AAT P2, you've got two options -- both involve buying DT shards once we get past this event thing (expected 599 or 1099 crystals per pack, 5-30 shards of DT and Krennic per pack, but probably like 99% 5 shards). Ok, so, you've got 7* DT, so you can run him in AAT Heroic. His Terminate ability inflicts Deathmark...you know that ability that you can get in P1 Rancor? Yeah, that deathmark. swgoh.gg has datamined it, and for raid bosses, it removes 0.1% of targets Max Health on taking damage, which works out to 19,200 per hit (doesn't trigger on DoTs).

So, two options. #1 someone in TI theorycrafted: Cody (z), Rex, Fives, Echo, DT.
Cody, 212th attack: Call Clone allies + one random ally to assist, aassists deal 40% damage. Each time an assist scores a critical hit, reduce cd by one.
Cody, Alpha Strike: Deal physical damage and gain 20% TM. Gain an additional 20% TM if that enemy has more than 50% HP, and an additional 20% TM if that enemy has less than 50% TM.
Echo, Follow-Up: Whenever another ally uses a basic during their turn, Echo has a 30% chance to assist, dealing 40% less damage. Assist chance is doubled if attacking ally is a clone.

So, Cody calls 212th attack, which pulls himself in, he gains up to 60% TM. Echo gets called in, and then a 60% chance to get called in again. Fives gets called in, and because the tank is already slowed, he attacks again. DT attacks once, and Rex attacks once. If everyone crits (Cody gives all clones 30% crit chance, so with CC sets, you can get close), Cody can immediately use 212th attack again.

So, that's the super whale plan (or you've been working on clones via guild and fleet shipments). You still will need to whale out in about a week (estimates are at $500) to get DT maxed. The next plan (I came up with this, and it's not as good, but less whaleish, and not quite as good).

#2: Nebit (L), 86, DT, and two jawas. I haven't decided which would actually be best. JE is good because he gives crit up and he's super fast, so lots of extra attacks. We don't know if a detonator will trigger deathmark, and that will determine if he's the fourth pick. That leaves Jawa, Jawa Scav, and Dathcha. Jawa Scav is decent if detonators trigger deathmark because the boss will stack up a lot of detonators (I used to run 88 + Jawas to score 3% in P2 before I had HK). Additionally, Scav can apply offense up, but I don't think we care a whole lot about that. If not, Jawa and Dathcha are both faster (133 and 137). All we want are as many attacks as possible, so either of these will be fine, I guess that gives Dathcha a slight advantage.
So anyways, 86 calls an assist, 3/4 will be a jawa which triggers a second attack. Nebit calls 1 assist, which is 3/4 to be a jawa/droid, which will call an additional ally. If it calls a jawa in either of those, it will call one additional attack. Any time one of your 3 jawas attacks, it triggers another attack, so you just get to send a whole bunch at the deathmarked tank.

I guess there are two more synergistic squads here, Chirpa, EE, Teebo, Scout, DT, and then HK, 88, 86, JE, DT


e: One more: HK (L), K2 (z), B2, 86, DT. 86 could also be JE, not sure which would work better. Kill big tank gun but don't topple, trigger tons of B2 and K2 attacks.



Arena meta report: DT/Krennic are looking like they're going to be pretty beastly even down at 4*, so expect them to take over. Our top arena theorycrafter (he came up with timeout and timeout + Chaze) is saying that the best comp will probably be Zader, Zid (yeah, darth sidious, go figure), ZDT, Krennic, GK or B2 (but probably GK). Obviously we'll all be scrabbling to just get one Zeta together, and I think Zader is the clear first, probably followed by DT, plus you probably don't want to gear up DS right now. So, I'd probably aim for Zader, DT, Krennic, GK, Boba. Two other replacements for Sid will be EP and TFP.

In case you're wondering about Sid, he has a max base speed of 161, puts 4 DoTs on a crit, and is sith so his aoe has 50% to remove 25% TM.

I really think folks should switch to Zetas as soon as you have the top tier ship challenge 3* (and before then your fleet points should go to ships you need to 3* that challenge). Zetas are pretty game changing, especially if they are going to start releasing dudes with Zetas like Krennic and DT (and who knows, Kylo might get one as part of his buffs).

I'm also stockpiling credits to level up Krennic and DT, and am tempted to start stockpiling the gear they need. Not going to spend $500 maxing them from packs, but who knows if the last of the event things will give us enough that a couple packs will get them to 5 or even 6 stars.

That is correct. P1 of the tank raid is a FFA because it takes us too long at 1 team per person for that phase, but the rest of the tank raid is 1 team per phase. And Rancor is 1 team total for the whole raid.

P2 damage starts at the time we specify (typically 12 hours from the time it was launched). Read guild chat, forums, or just ask. We always communicate what's happening.

If any of the recent heroes has taught me anything, its that gently caress star level, you just need them unlocked and geared and their bloated kits will carry them to victory. Like do you really need a little bit more hp & offense or whatever stars give you (what do they give you?) when you are doing an AOE ability that staggers the entire enemy team and calls your monster dong trooper to assist blast one into dust?
