RAIDS

Enraged enemies during Raids now also gain 100% Accuracy and inflict a permanent Healing Immunity when they damage enemies with attacks, in addition to the greatly increased Offense they already received.

Here are the bug fixes for the update...some important things:

https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/58960/the-bugs-bin-update-2-14

"Darth Maul: “Whirling Blades” now applies the Daze effect before determining if a unit can counter attack or not.
Darth Vader: "Inspiring Through Fear" will no longer reduce Turn Meter twice on attacks from characters who are both Empire and Sith.
Darth Vader: "Inspiring Through Fear" will no longer reduce Turn Meter when attacks are Evaded."

"Fixed an issue where TIE Reaper was removing enemy Capital Ship Turn Meter even after he was defeated."

(P.S. Zader is still worth it...Reaper is not).

Got my Zoba, and it's a beautiful thing.

For GW, I'm running GK (L) Chaze, Zoba, Barriss, and I'm doing it with about 90% auto.

All right Mal, I've got over 500k ally points. You think I should sink all of it?

IGD, would it help if we opened up to friends and family to fill our empty slots? Or can we recruit 5 burley hitters from the forums?

Also, is the Rancor we started morning or night damage?

I mean, it depends on your situation, but I think so. You also have to accept that if they bring back tournaments or something like it that requires AP to refresh, you're going to be behind everyone else. I found it super helpful, probably saved me a week's farming of poo poo materials (not to mention bought 2/3s of a droid caller).

The hero priority list is pretty helpful. It took me a week or two of F2P grinding to start unlocking the good heroes but Lando/Lumi/Ackbar/Boba Fett immediately shot up to the top of my strongest characters and started letting me get through the missions that lovely starting characters like chewbacca and gun luke were unable to handle.

I also unlocked Mace Windu for some reason, he doesn't seem to be great but at least works with Lumi.

Probably from a free pack or something? He's alright, but I wouldn't spend too many resources on him. Definitely get STH over Ackbar though.

Lol, I must've tested out DK for Dark. I can put EP or Boba in there (or a whole bunch of other dudes, but those are probably my best).

Let me know if you want me to change any of those (you probably don't need Phasma in Mod Battles), it's really not a big deal.

Yeah I got free ackbar shards from the ship events when you level up so I figured I'd unlock him, I didn't realize Storm Trooper Han was so good at the time though. I'm already hitting a wall gearing Lumi and Lando (I'm level 47 and need to be level 53 to equip the last thing to make them G7) so I'll probably get STH going now.

My problem is Dark side characters. I only have Tarkin/Dooku/Boba Fett and some lovely randos. I'd consider buying a game package but the prices are ridiculous and I figure just buying crystals for extra energy is a better investment than $25 for a couple droids or whatever.

Honestly, hold off on Dark Side stuff. Start working on RG cause he's a long farm. Once you have finished Lando, move on to Tie Fighter Pilot (mix in some mods at some point in there though). Once you finish STH shards, you can think about Savage -- looks like he's actually going to be good after this patch.

Also, I'd highly recommend taking people to 6*, and then moving on to the next 1-2 heroes on a list, get them to 6*, before continuing on to 7*, except for one hero. One 7* hero will let you get T7/Heroic rewards from raiding, and I'd probably recommend either Lando or Biggs for that (Get Biggs after 6* Lumi).

The stun on a basic and absurd health pool owns. Mine isn't that good yet but I want to get him up there. For arena I'm using a 3* Shoretrooper and he's putting in work. Tanking two rounds in a row is super useful.

Ive got RG almost to gX and he's a withering proposition, especially on empire teams where EP/Vader come with their own huge health pools. Either of those guys can take a full wiggs combo to the face, stay standing, and then you're stuck with RG's 70k health/prot pool.

Yup. There's one ability that actually shuts down RG - Shock (or Daze + BI). BI gives you a temporary reprieve, but RG still gains extra TM from teammates while he has BI on, so he can start taunting pretty soon again. Since Shock is only available to EP (and soon Dooku), and there are usually several other heroes you need to worry about shocking, RG can really come in as a big threat. I'm not running him right now (running Boba, Chaze, GK, JKA), but he's the best dark side tank (overall I like RG more than Shoretrooper right now -- and I see a lot of Zader teams either running RG or no tank).

Hahahahaha. Yup. He's so ridiculous, and he's only 5*. He gets a lot of survivability out of 6-7*.

Also I have him modded really well, so he's got lots of health and defense. It makes a difference.

Because CG is really good at balance. I believe I ran Wedge (L), Barriss (no z), Biggs, Chaze (3* G9 at the time), with a borrowed nearly max GK to 3* it. It was still a very close call. Make sure you are using your best mods too.

Yeah, but I mean, at $40, does that really matter?


Also, holy hell, Nihilus is insane. Even just looking at his level 1 abilities -- jesus loving christ.

Annihilate -- 8 turn CD. instantly defeate target enemy. Nihilus gains Max Health equal to 40% of target's max hp. Can't be evaded, starts on cooldown

Drain Force - 4 turn CD. Deal special damage to all, 50% chance (double against debuffed enemies) to increase their cds by 1. For each cd increased, reduce the cd of annihilate by 1.



That's a potential t4? Annihilate. Zaul lead is sounding insane right now...but...there's more

Lord of Hunger (L) - Sith allies gain 30% Offense and 70% HP Steal. Sith allies lose all Protection and gain that much Max Health. Sith allies are immune to healing effects that aren't health steal and can't score critical hits.

Wound in the Force - At the start of each of his turns, Nihilus has a 70% chance to inflict DoT for 2 turns on random enemy that doesn't have debuffs. If all enemies are debuffed, inflict DoT on random enemy.


Again, all level 1 abilities. Jesus. loving. Christ.

Sith Trooper and Sith Assassin don't look too bad, either. Lots of fun, though lack of crits might be something of a problem?

Edit:

Just looking at Maul, he'll lose his Power of Hatred Heal, but goes up to 90%(!) Health Steal, plus the extra max health, plus all that Potency. I wonder how the two Max Health buffs will stack.

I'm also curious if there's enough protection ignoring damage from the two new guys to make Savage's special do insane things.
