Oh drat they're buffing a few of the first order guys! And Darth Nihilus oh snap!

I'm very underwhelmed with the update to Kylo Ren. I was really hoping FO would become significantly less sucky, not marginally less sucky.

All of the fo toons got changes to their abilities and omegas. Officer can now pick his friendly and on omega, double cleanse. Fotp gets an offensive dispell But yeah, nothing here is OP, so it will all still suck compared to chaise rebs and empire. Maybe it shines with phasmas zeta leader

Side tangent. So with Darth Nihilus being in the game does that make him canon? Or has he been mentioned else where in the new canon?

I'm expecting they've been given the go ahead on a few characters that will eventually become canon, but this game is no guarantee on that.

Jc looks a lot like that hermit jedi from kotor. I always wondered if they based that character on him.

What do y'all think of that new ship data card pack.. If I already have 25 tie advanced shards toward unlocking it and it gives me tie advanced will I still have the leftover 25 towards 5*? Also... is that pack just great big whale bait... I don't mind buying more crystals but if they'd be better spent on refreshes and shop gear/mods then I don't wanna waste 3000 of 'em on a ship that's not even going to help me in the long run.

Shoretrooper is barely farmable (but you could whale from shipments as a long-term project) and who knows when/how we'll get access to Deathtrooper shards. Tie Advance is nice, and Vader is easier to farm up, but I don't know if it's worth it for a 50/50. I think I'd rather have a furnace and a droid caller than a ship I can't get more shards for. Definitely wouldn't get more than one pack if that's even an option. Can't imagine paying 3k crystals for 8 mixed ship shards and some leftover junk.

Oh thank gently caress CG something or other on the new Sith dude: I can't give details yet but I can say this is NOT a tournament. I guess the teaser wasn't clear enough :P

Honestly, if you've got the crystals, the first purchase is pretty great. Unlocking Vader or taking him from 4 to 5* is pretty freaking valuable. Alternatively, getting reaper is pretty phenomenal. It sounds like it's more 80:20 for Vader, so if that's what you want, it's a good deal, and we don't know when he'll be farmable. Don't buy one after the second. Several whales have, and have gotten 10+ 4 shards of each, so the chances of getting 25 is incredibly slim, and 8 shards for 3k shards? Come the gently caress on.

I decided to be dumb and bought the pack, hoping for the Tie Advanced. Got the Reaper, instead . Seems like a really goddamn strong ship, though. Annoying that I can't improve it at all right now, though.

Never seen the use of JC after I picked up Lumi. I finally breached 800 ranks in arena (after sitting around 1300 for a while) in time for yesterday's payout, with my team of 5-6 star mid-70s losers. Feels good!

Annoying that I can't improve it at all right now, though. I splurged for the big mamma jamma crystal vault and luckily got Tie Advanced 80 blueprints from the pack. I'm not planning to purchase a second... I kind of hope there's some magic way to get the thing to 5* some day, but it will still be one of my top ships for quite a long time. I'm still lvl 75 so as far as zetas go, I have some leeway for collecting ships, so even if I can never get the Vader TIE to 5, using it in fleet battles will still be a nice way to play the game while I build some other ships towards that goal. Overall glad I used the 2999 on the pack and I'm very excited to get some higher priced refreshes to quickly boost my guys and user level quicker.

I place top 10 every day in ship arena, so I don't really need or care to waste the 3k gems on a chance at TIE Advanced, even though it would make my Biggs target lock stack better.

Yeah EP's aoe stun + TFP's aoe buff immunity + Boba's aoe ability block did the trick.

Estimated cost to 7* a Reaper: $1408. On the plus side, you'll also get a 7* Advanced Tie, so it's only really $704 per ship. Here's what a whale theorycrafter thinks: Meta feb2017 alert (I believe) Rex Krooper + 2 The 2 being combination of Kylo, GK, bariss well moded, Kylo could go up to 75% damage mitigation with 4 dot and suffering 2 hits between turns. So he could just be silly... Haven't tested enough. Primary inclination is Zariss would be better, but Kylo doesn't need zeta and is more offensive so if it works with Kylo cause Zariss 3rd cleanser is overkill... Then it's perfect. That's why I believe its a combination of 2 out of those 3 Malgrin fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Feb 2, 2017 |

Whitey Snipes posted:Do the whales think Vader is still worth zetaing if Kylo is going to become part of the meta or should I start thinking about someone else? Kylo's zeta is not very good. It's pretty sweet that he regains protection, but it's on a 3 turn cd. I think the best two zetas right now are Vader and Barriss. I think that if you're planning to do Zarriss and zDT, you really need GK to seal the team. Crit is going to be a huge part of the new meta, so you need the anti-crit synergy of Rex, GK, and Zarriss to really work. I think Zader, Zid, Krooper, +1 tank is still going to be really, really strong. Zader should still hold its own with its current iteration too, not to mention Zader gives you an easy Rancor solo team, plus huge damage in P2 and P4 aat. I'm planning on eventually going the Rex, Zarriss, zDT route, but I think I'll do Zader first just to help in arena until I have all that put together -- going to take awhile to get GK, DT, and DK to G10, especially if droid callers keep not dropping from Rancor...

Herux posted:What is the empire rancor team? I am close to my Zader and would really like to have a good rancor team. There's a bunch of wiggle room, but the key ingredients are Zader, EP, and TFP. You don't even really need tenacity down because Zader's 50% to do -25% TM is not resistable, but TFP does great damage and is empire. If you have Jyn, you can run her and Bistan. If you have Rex or QGJ, they go well with this team. Some people are just running Empire/Sith though. Tarkin is being used by some people because he does offense down, and has an aoe that has a 45% chance to remove 70% TM, on top of the Zader proc. For the final slots, you can run any of the other Empire toons, but none of them are going to add much damage to anything, so a lot of people run Sidious or Maul (or both). Demoralizing Blows, with omega, adds up to 4 DoTs, so stacks well with Zader. Maul is nice because of stacking health, and also Power of Hatred gets pretty OP.

I just saw a video posted (in TI) that had Zader, Zid, ZDT, DK, EP, vs zMaul, Vader, EP, GK, B2. Krooper are pretty insane. Also, someone else just posted this. Guess FO aren't worth giving up on after all "Just an update....So been running the First Order Team in Arena…Only Zeta is on Phasma, and FOO and Kylo still have a gear level to go up to, and still playing around with MOD configurations..At first I was like ohh crap what I do, this Sucks..but then I started to understand my long lost Pals.. I think once I Zeta the rest and figure out best Mod Configurations, #1 will be no problem..They are such a better team now…I am VERY happy with the RE-Work.."

His passive (enemy ships get re-targetlocked when they lose targetlock) is baller with Wiggs - I'm running him, Wedge, Biggs, Fives, and Boba Fett as my starters with Ahsko Tano, JC, and Bistan's U Wing as my backup and Mace as my cap ship. I'm level 82, and can regularly get into the top 5 on my shard before I hit the "all 7* ships including Cassions U-Wing, Millenium Falcon, and Vaders TA" wall.
