Well, I just took Sid from 71 to 80 in prep for Zader (11/20 zetas). I'm not going to focus on his gear yet, but if I get a full furnace, it'll go to him or Rex. I'm still working on Kylo, but having TFP and Sid early with Zader is pretty powerful (170 and 161 unmodded speed) for the aoe TMR (50% chance, 25% TM, irresistible). Also, Sid drops up to 4 DoTs, so pretty good Zader synergy. Right now I'm working on gear for GK and Vader -- GK is really close to G9, and then I'll have to save up 150 Carbantis before I can move him to G10, so I'll probably work on Sid/Kylo. I've been sliding in Arena lately, so I think in the short term, I need to work on having Zader up and running, probably with EP, TFP, Boba, +1, leaning towards G9 GK, but might end up sticking with Shore, we'll see. RG is also pretty decent, but without a cleanse, there are just too many people running around with BI right now. Once I get Rex up to speed, I'm thinking about dropping EP for him -- will help me in the Zader mirror, but Kylo might be my mirror breaker instead. Kylo needs more carbantis though, so I might be able to get Rex geared a lot faster. I never thought mk3 carbantis would be such a huge bottleneck...

I'm still trying to 5 star everything flyable, and building up consular/biggs/TFP. But I also buy rex/sunfac shards with my fleet shipments. I still snag top 20-10 range every day.

Decided to spend a little cash and bought the reaper pack. Good news: got the reaper unlock! Bad news: it takes DT and ST to fly, and I don't have ST. I'm also no where near clearing 9B. I should probably read about these things first.

Rebel squad is the best way to clear it...I did it pretty soon after unlocking it using a borrowed Wedge, and then something like Lando (L), Biggs, Leia, AA, STH. If you are on android and have K2, he'd be really good in there to trade off taunting with STH. I don't know what you do/don't have, but some other good leader options: Wedge + Leia OB + Talia OB + Lumi Aayla + Yoda (or Luke) GK (you can borrow mine) + Barriss Poe + Finn (I'm going to guess you don't have max resistance dudes though) OB + Chirpa (run with Ewoks) My general opinion is that if you can get EP to 7*, then your rebels are strong enough to beat 9B, although they might need more work to 3* it.

Maybe because I'm obsessed with internet spaceships, I actually don't mind the ships minigame. My bracket is between level 68-72 at the top level currently, so we only just hit 60 and got ships last week thereabouts. I've been stuck with the debate of "Tarkin or AA" like a lot of folks - my AA has been very helpful, but I pulled Vader from the ship card. Here's my current ship team: Starting: Vader Boba JC GS TFP Rf: Biggs Ashoka FOTP As my dudes get stronger I'd like to swap out JC/GS in the starting roster for Biggs/FOTP. Removing the 'assist' guys reduces the utility of AA, in theory. The question: Should I use AA and level him up until I hit max and then try to go for Tarkin, or invest in Tarkin early and aim for uber-Empire Tark/Vader/Boba/TFP/FOTP/Biggs action? Here's my lineup: https://swgoh.gg/u/numismancer/collection/ I'm at the point in Arena where I finished up STH and could spend my tokens on AA, Tarkin, or IG-88 (as the guide in the OP suggested, but I haven't seen much use for him yet), halp~

I'd actually pause Wedge at 6* and go get Lando. You really need to work on Scoundrels ASAP for the credits...they're just too important. Work on Lando, Boba, and 88 and you'll be able to clear the event pretty easily and start gaining tons of credits. I cannot emphasize enough just how important it is to get on this so that you can afford to actually start leveling all your heroes. Numismancer posted:Maybe because I'm obsessed with internet spaceships, I actually don't mind the ships minigame. How far are you in gear for AA and Tarkin? It sounds like you haven't invested much in either of them either for their character or ship, and if that's the case, you should probably double down on Tarkin. How are your scoundrels? Being able to complete the top available tier of credit heist is the most important thing you can be doing right now. Lando, 88, and Boba are all good for this. Lando is also great for Arena, and maybe one day ships. 88 is also good for AAT raiding, and I think you could build a pretty solid Boba (L) 88 + Lando team if you invested in it. If you're doing fine on the scoundrel event, I'd farm Tarkin's shards. fishtobaskets posted:His matches feel really weird because Mace/AA are so defensive and he's pure offense. I win a lot of come from behind matches because of his offense buff and tie swarm. Adding to this, thanks to a bug with FOTF, it's much easier to hold on Defense with this build. Basically, whenever a TL opponent takes damage, FOTF gains somewhere around 40% TM (scales with ability level), which means he goes an insane amount. Add in the extra offense from Tarkin and he's super hard to beat. Malgrin fucked around with this message at 01:41 on Feb 7, 2017 |

I haven't invested much in either - they're gear level 6. I'll double down on Tarkin then. My scoundrels are acceptable: I have STH and Lando at 7*, Boba at 6*. Chewbacca and IG-88 are meh; I just unlocked IG-88 two days ago. So far I've been able to do credit heist at my level with no trouble. I'll grind Tarkin for a bit then focus on IG-88, thanks for the advice.

Oh yeah, I didn't actually respond to this part. I'd run Vader, Boba, TFP, FOTP, Biggs in your starting, with whatever is left for reinforcements. Moving forwards, I'd recommend looking at Scimi and Fives because they make great reinforcements, and then I also run JC. Scimi is good because it can give Biggs, Boba, or Fives a counterattack and stealths everyone else. Fives is good for a few reasons. First, if you TL up everyone, his AOE will nuke most of their team -- it inflicts TL on the targeted opponent (can't be resisted), then deals damage to each TL opponent and gains 20% damage to each TL enemy (25% if I ever take Fives to G10). Second, if he shoots a TL opponent with his basic, he'll remove all buffs, and he also applies offense/defense down.

I feel like I've run into a brick wall in gearing, like I've missed a plan. My arena and ship teams are comfortably in the top 20 or 50 and I never miss a GW node, but I'm wondering if I've failed to create a proper Rancor Raid team or something - I'm not the highest level in this guild so usually I'm getting crap (in the rank 15-25 range) for rewards. Should I be cobbling together a Rancor team? I'd need to take time off gearing my ships dudes, but I have the component bits (Teebo, Ewok Elder, RG, QGJ) from the OP. Right now I just throw my Arena team at the raid, pop door control, then turn it on auto and put the phone down. Another possibly silly question: I've been diligently farming Rex shards on guild credits, what am I going to be using this guy for? (Random aside: this is the best possible game to play while playing Eve, it's perfectly timed for long warps) Numismancer fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Feb 8, 2017 |

Right now I just throw my Arena team at the raid, pop door control, then turn it on auto and put the phone down. After reading this, I went back to the OP to look at what I had written. I deleted the quoted sections and just put this in its place: These days, I'm running Teebo (L), QGJ, Phasma, TFP, and EE and consistently clearing P1 with about a 50/50 chance to clear P2. Alternatively, if you can Zeta Vader, you can run him with EP, TFP, and a couple Empire, Sith, or TM removers (Rex, Jyn, QGJ, etc.) to 90% auto Rancor Your squad will work fine, but the Phasma + TFP squad works better. You will be using Rex for literally everything. I think that after Zader, he's the all around best hero in this game. He's good in a squad in every AAT phase (except these days no one uses him in P3 because of Chirpatine) and he fits in with a Teebo or Zader lead Rancor squad (for 100% clear). He's a solid counter to Zader -- at the very least on offense, but also pretty solid as a leader on defense. His tenacity up won't stop the TM down from a Vader squad, but it will stop all debuffs/dots, which is what will kill you. On Offense, if he's not fast enough, you can run QGJ (L) Fast Yoda, medium speed Rex, +2, and just demolish a Zader squad by alternating Yoda and Rex's Tenacity up. This won't hold on Defense though. In ship battles, he is the core of a Mace defensive squad https://swgoh.gg/units/ships/rexs-arc-170/ e: At some point, someone asked for a screenshot with a ridiculous number of status effects...don't remember who or why, but:  I just took out one of our shard's best Zader comps with G11 Boba (L), G11 JKA, G10 3* Baze, G9 5* GK, G9 3* CI. For mods: Boba: Speed Set, CC Set, best speed secondaries (+105) JKA: CD Set, best offense secondaries Baze: 3x Health set, 4x Protection CI: CD set, Speed, CD, Offense, Prot Primaries, fastest available secondaries GK: Health, Def set, Speed, Def, Prot, Prot primaries. went for high speed or flat health/prot secondaries I'm actually now leaning towards taking Boba zeta first because it would be so good.

UmOk posted:I know it's been asked before but is there a resource for mods? Like which ones are best for each character? I think mal has posted a list of which mods are best for each character. I'll toss in my advice for obtaining mods: You can get mods from 3 places: 1. Mod challenges 2. Mod store 3. Mod packs Assuming you've beaten the highest level of a challenge, mod challenges will generally give you a white (no bonuses) mod, with a 3-1 bias for mods on the left side (square, diamond, circle). Your odds at getting a good mod (green or better with speed secondary) are very low, like 1% low. However, if you don't have much in the way of mods initially, it's a good way to at least get a starting set. The most important thing to know about the mod store is that 5 dot mods will appear once you've beaten the first two challenges (health and defense). This is super important, because the mod store is the best way to get good mods. It's still slow, you might go a week without seeing a mod with potential. Mod packs seem to be unavailable right now, maybe they'll reappear once some of the limited time packs cycle out. They were a not-terrible deal, but I don't personally recommend them. What's a good mod: Good mods are one of two things. Arrow mods with speed primary, and non-white mods with speed secondary. Speed is king in this game, and a 5 dot arrow mod provides +30 speed. A visible speed secondary is important because of the way mods upgrade. When you level a mod, it gains a secondary ability at levels 3, 6, 9, and 12. If the mod starts with visible secondaries (green or better), those secondaries will be upgraded instead of a new one being added on the first (for green), first and second (for blue), etc times. So a green mod with a speed secondary will get an upgrade to speed on the first upgrade. A blue mod with say speed and potency will have one or both upgrade, randomly, so potentially speed could be upgraded twice. This is how you get game winning mods. The advantage of purchasing mods in the store (for credits, I don't advise using crystals), is that you get to see the mod before you buy it. Mods aren't cheap, but getting a good mod is a huge power boost.

UmOk posted:I know it's been asked before but is there a resource for mods? Like which ones are best for each character? There are some guides out there like that, but the problem is that mods are really situational. In most cases, I will tell you that you want protection primary in the bottom two mods (except for heroes that want Potency), but now with GK and Zarriss, there is a really good argument to using health primaries there. For the most part, for tanks, you want to use health sets because except for a few heroes (like Fives), def % isn't very useful (most heroes have low base defense). That said, if you have a great mod that is defense set, they're still worth it...* For most other heroes, you're probably best off with a CD** or Speed set mod, depending on what you need them to do (e.g. Boba needs to go first to land AB so he needs all the speed, while Lando needs to kill everyone with one AOE, so he gets CD) For tanks and supports, you generally want a speed primary and 3 protection primaries, but health primaries are ok if you have forms of healing, and for Baze/Shoretrooper, I've generally just run 4x Protection. For damage, you want Speed, CD, and whatever has good speed secondaries -- it's good to have a protection mod, but for bottom right, health, protection, or offense is fine -- you just really want fast secondaries. *for example, on GK, I have a def set def % triangle mod with 10 speed and 21 def -- and it's a really solid mod - adds about 4% armor (including the set bonus -- 27.68% to 31.93%). His resistance actually jumps from 19.3% to 23.3%. His overall EHP (health + prot) increases by 7.5% with a protection primary mod. By comparison, 27.68% to 31.93% is a 15% increase in armor (comparable to a gain of 8k Prot). His resistance increases by 20%. However, if you removed his other two protection primary mods, he would be losing a much larger chunk of his overall EHP for a smaller percent increase in defense. **Most heroes are better off with an Offense set theoretically, but the difficulty of getting to the point of farming offense set mods is so much harder than CD -- FOST is one of the hardest to farm heroes in the game Davethulhu posted:Arrow mods with speed primary, and non-white mods with speed secondary. The problem with mods is that there are so many goddamn exceptions. I'm running JKA with like +5 speed right now because of his unique -- instead he has about +800 offense (2300 to 3100) -- with Boba lead, I've gotten AOE crits for 22k -- this melts basically any DPS hero (I've killed Biggs, Wedge, and Chirrut in one JKA aoe so many times now). If you have Rex (L), you can run several other heroes with a lot less speed. B2 is another hero you want to just load up with damage. Rex (L) with a fast Barriss is super punishing against Zader, Boba, TFP squads because their AOEs trigger Barriss and Rex to go fast and land tenacity up.
