Light 9-B has me about ready to quit the game. I 2*ed it a while back, and now I can't even beat it once? What the actual gently caress is happening with this game? I am running Wedge(L), Biggs, Lando, JKA, Ackbar, and borrowing an Old Ben. This stupid node is 20 energy a pop and I can't sustain that while trying to farm the perfect RNG. Did they make this node harder?

e: Jesus Christ, why do they dodge so much?! THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE.
e2: This time I lost a character before I took my first turn. I hate this game so much.

Hold up a few days if you're having trouble with 9B. TI is working on an old program called "Borrow a hero."

"Are you struggling to 3*Cantina Battle 8-G? Have you wasted hundreds of energy dying to Embo in Light Side Hard Mode Battle 9-B? Well Team Instinct can help. We are excited to restart our "Borrow-a-Maxed-Hero" program.

*How does the "Borrow-a-Maxed-Hero" Program work?*
It's simple. You can request a specific hero or specify the Light Side/Dark Side/Cantina battle you are struggling with and we will pick the best possible hero for you. All you need to do is reply below. In your response please copy these:

• What area and mission do you need help with? (e.g. Light Side 9-B Hard)
• What is your ally code?
• What specific character or type of character are you looking to borrow? (e.g. Healer, Damage Dealer, Support, etc)
• What is your swgoh.gg profile link? (This is used to help us identify the best character for you.)

Once you reply with this information, one of our guild members will send you an Ally request. Your new Ally will have the requested or ideal maxed out hero available for you to borrow. You can then complete whatever mission is troubling you. All we ask is that once you complete the mission you drop this person from you Ally list so they can help the next person. (Otherwise within 24 hours you are likely to be dropped as an Ally.)"

I'll post a link as soon as it goes up.

Trip report: switching from rebels (wiggs/lando/X) to empire + boba in arena. I've gone from struggling to stay top 50 to 30-25. Both teams are more or less equal in total power, but there are at least a dozen rebel squads that I'm crushing now that gave me trouble before.

Now that I'm pushing top 20 I see there's a whole new strata consisting of empire teams with shoretrooper. Oh well, I'm still happy with the results.

Yeah, right now I'm running Boba (L), TFP, EP, JKA, GK. I really need to work on my GK cause he's only G8, but it's still worth it somehow. His kit is just ridiculous and shuts down so many heroes. Giving JKA the extra CC/CD from Boba Fett has really added a lot of punch to this team. It seems to be holding up alright on defense (up until yesterday I was running EP, Shore, TFP, Boba, JKA). I'm trying to figure out if I should replace EP with anyone, but having BI, AB, and Stun AOEs still seems pretty good.

Just beat that final Krennic stage at level 73 with empire stuff mostly around level 69-72. The recommendation to fight it with empire is 100% correct. My rebel team is higher level with better mods but RG EP and Krennic throw a lotta stun, slow, and turn reduction on the stage leaders which seem to drop most guys in one hit.

Ok, I've got JKA at around 51% CC (p.s. I really need to farm some mk3 detonators for his mk3 zaltin -- last item he needs for full build), 216% CD, and 3116 Physical damage. Add in Boba lead for 266% cd, and 61% CC (I think). I've got his AOE critting for around 23k damage right now, which usually happens right after Boba + TFP have just aoed, sometimes after there's an EP AOE thrown in too, and that will frequently straight up murder CI, Wedge, and Biggs. Most DPS cap out around 15-18k HP, so if other people knock down their protection (Boba, TFP, and EP), then one JKA AOE can kill 2-3 of them.

Yeah, you didn't see this mode before we had EP or TFP, and most of us didn't even have a 6* Vader. The only people that could beat it had a dedicated Droid squad.

Trip report: Gear X, the best mods I could find - still slower than any enemy Boba, ability block makes him useless, average damage, needs a lot of setup to do anything. Could be good with zeta and Krennic, we will see. On it's own though, nope.

I intend to have the faster Boba (less than 50 purples for G11 now), so I'm counting on that. I also just finished JKA's last item, so he's sitting on 54% CC + Boba's 10%.

You can't take DT or Krennic on their own. Baze is good enough to be run on his own. Chirrut is laughably bad without Baze.
Here is what a max DT will look like with mods: 30k hp, 45k Protection. Basic: 4500-5k. Terminate: 10k. DT also attacks twice if the target is a rebel (hi Chaze).

Krennic: 20k hp, 22k Protection (I'm expecting Speed, CD, and Prot for right side mods). Basic: 10k.

Here's where their synergy makes them op. Krennic's guard; Whenever DT scores a Crit, he and DK recover 20% HP. DT has a 50% chance to gain 100% TM whenever DK takes damage. DK can't be crit while DT is alive. DT assault: 3turn cd, Deal special damage to all enemies with a 70% chance to inflict stagger. If any enemies are debuffed, revive DT with 20% HP for each debuffed enemy. If DT is present, he is called to assist. Immeasurable Power: DK/DT gain 10% cd for each debuffed enemy and each Rebel (hi Chaze).

With DT zeta's, DK can't be crit while DT is alive, but DT has 70k+ ehp, and DK revives DT if literally anyone is debuffed. If you shoot DK, DT has a 50% chance to gain 100% TM. Add in GK, where if anyone takes a crit, GK then taunts. Add in Zader to just straight up murder everyone (slowly with dots), and one more. I'm looking at zBoba as the best option here, and I'm thinking about giving him a zeta first and running him lead until I get my 3rd zeta for Vader (2nd for DT). I'll probably run Boba (L), Krooper, GK, TFP/EP/RG/Shore/JKA. People in TI are saying the strongest team is going to be Zader, Zid, zDT, Krennic, GK. I'm not going to even think about leveling/gearing Sid until I have the zeta ready and all the other four are in place. I also want to see what this Kylo rework does.

Also, I think that against non-rebel comps, Chaze are probably a little bit stronger than Krooper -- DT gets double basics, which can daze and stun in one attack, and both get +10% cd per rebel.

tldr: their synergy is what makes them strong.

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.

If I don't have access to GK what do you think would work?

Read the OP, it has a pretty good list:

Priority Heroes (Roughly in order):
LS/DS Hard mode: Jedi Knight Anakin, Royal Guard, Rey, Daka.
Cantina battles: Lando, Wedge, Tie Fighter Pilot, Jedi Knight Anakin, Royal Guard, Geonosian Soldier, Old Ben, Chief Chirpa
Cantina credits: Boba, QGJ, Daka, Fives, Hoth Rebel Scout
Arena credits: Stormtrooper Han, IG-88, Admiral Ackbar, Leia
Galactic War credits: Lumi, Teebo, Biggs, Phasma, Poggle, IG-86
Guild Credits: Rex, Sun Fac, Darth Maul, Jawa Engineer
Ship shipments*: Rex, Sun Fac, Darth Maul, Wedge

I'd skip Cad, since you already have him unlocked, he is useless. I'd put IG-86 ahead of Poggle in Mal's list. If you have ships unlocked, you should be buying ships with your GW credits instead probably.
