I'm at 81 but I'm too busy working up my ship (for Zetas) and arena teams to focus on a scoundrel team. I'm also 600-800 in arena so crystals aren't coming in mega fast.

I'm also chronically out of tickets :(

I'm going to try to stick to my original plan and buy a gear piece

Getting a scoundrel team is the single most important thing you can be doing, because the 5m+ credits you get every week are absolutely essential in leveling your roster and mods, as well as buying good shop mods.

You should absolutely get those 4 toons I mentioned to 7* max level asap (several of them you should already have like STH and Lando if you've been paying ANY attention to this thread), even if that forestalls your arena machinations for a few weeks. Arena meta is going to be wildly shifting moreso than ever before with the rate they're releasing new characters and zetas.

Any tips on beating the Crit Chance Mod challenge on the hardest level? This seems much harder than other challenges I've completed.

My team is 7* ST Han (9), IG-88 (9), and Fett (8), 5* Lando (9), 5* CW Chewie (8). I've got got at least some mods on all of them.

I've tried playing around with different leaders and, for me, Chewie seems to do the best but I can only 1* it. ST Han is the one they target the most and Fett usually dies at least once. I don't taunt at all in order to spread the damage around.

In the increasingly shifting meta of current days, I think it's important to point out some strong non-faction-specific toons that you can get a lot of use out of no matter where the meta winds up going. These are toons that provide tools like ability block, buff immunity, dispell, tenacity up/down; and are good toons to have, because they can provide a lot of functionality no matter what team they're on. I'm gonna label these

F2P Gadget toons:

BobaFett - AoE ability block, offensive dispell, execution, ignores taunt, self revive, applies dots
Rex - Group Tenacity Up, defensive dispell
Yoda - Group Tenacity Up
B2 - AoE buff immunity/ offensive dispell, high volume of free turns
Anakin - single target Buff immunity/healing immunity, high AoE burst, free turns
Sun Fac - offensive ispell on Basic, counter attack
Stormtrooper Han - moddable fast taunt that feeds turn meter to your team/lowers enemy turn meter
Emporer Palpatine - single target shock application, aoe stun
TIE Fighter Pilot - AoE buff immunity, targeted ability block, lots of dodge/high damage potential
Ewok Elder - defensive dispell, resurrection, feeds turn meter
Aayala - call-assist on basic, counter-attacks, stuns on critical

Outside of many of these toons having extensive raid uses, they're also viable in a lot of high-level arena.

I'm pretty sure I did that challenge with STH, Boba, Chewie, Cad Bane, and Greedo. Chewie is real good for this challenge, because he can soak alot of damage and heal himself, sparing your STH for the final stage, where he can feed turn meter to your hitters.

I've got Dengar instead of Chewbacca, and I use Boba Fett as my Leader with his Omega ability. I try to kill the enemy faster so I take less damage that way. I can usually get two stars, but I haven't quite gotten through all the way without STH dying, usually. Like Chillichimp said, you probably need to taunt with Chewbacca more so he'll take hits away from your more vulnerable characters. If you haven't already, may try the Omega upgrade on Chewbacca's taunt so it lasts longer? You could also try running through some mod battles for some cheap mods to fill out any empty slots. If that doesn't help, you can try taking your good mods off your main team and see where that takes you.

Edit: I just did my fleet challenges, and I'm now one short of the twenty Zeta materials for Qui-Gon, but I'm not going to have the fleet credits to get it until Wednesday :(

His real problem is Chewie is only 5*/G8 so he's just not going to be the damage soak that he needs to be, and live to self-heal the tale.

I'm guessing it's worth it? I have enough crystals for one. I was gonna get a Nihilus pack but I need 20 shards and after seeing my neighbour blow crystals on 2 packs and get 10 total I'd rather get something more substantial

Yeah don't do that. I haven't actually heard of anyone getting more than 5 shards (and I do know people with 7* DN). Might be about a 1% chance.

I haven't been super cash strapped yet but I'm starting to feel the squeeze so I guess I'll be pushing off my arena stuff for a minute. My Boba is really good but the rest of my scoundrels are p. bad. I have STH/Chewy/Zam/IG88, I just need to gear/mod/level them and get their stars up. It's just slower at 400 arena tokens/day (plus 200 from the daily)

Yeah, I took like 2 months off at one point and I only fell into like the 300 range and was back into arena stacks pretty quick. But the level cap didn't increase in that time span, so I wasn't so far behind it was impossible.

I've made my way back into the top 20 discussion, but I'm usually just mid 20's since the Zaul meta pushed my Zader down and stole it's lunch money.

I started around when EP7 came out but didn't follow guides and wasn't playing every day. But it would take me months to get back to where I'm at so I really don't want to start over. v:shobon:v

I'm about as low in rankings as I can realistically get right now. At 81 I have no zetas and I'm mostly forced to fight lvl 82-85 teams.

The funny thing is I'm at 175 in ship arena and that was after barely putting in effort at all.

STHan and Lando aren't Bounty Hunters so they only get the crit%and damage and not the speed from Boba's Leader, and with how much damage and TM I get from Han and Lando I want them to be going faster.

So I was only half paying attention to the new GW rewards as I was busy while doing my run, but it looks like you now get a lot more character shards from earlier nodes, I got a character shard from node 3, 2 from 6, 2 from 9, 2 from 11, and 3 from 12. Regular currency and battle token rewards don't appear to have increased but a full gw run netted me 165k in fleet currency, didn't pay attention to if ability mat drop rates had increased though.

edit: difficulty was as per usual, a little easier if anything.

Just did a gw run through, teams im fighting against seem to be harder unless ive just had the unluckiest run ever. Had a horrible droid team on battle 6, a chaze team on battle 10 and a full rebels team on 11, got 1 srp shard so far on battle 11 and the cash rewards seem to be slightly higher than I remember (82.1k for battle 11). Battle 12 is palp lead, shore, rg, sf and tfp so I've got no chance of finishing this which will be the first loss in a while

Edit: Reset, 2nd run and got a JC shard on battle 6, cody shard on battle 11 and a srp, hoth rebel soldier and some other shard at 12.
Cash reward for last node was 85k ish so thats about 10% higher than before if my memory serves me correctly?

Since I'm pretty sure you're level 85, I'd recommend you see what the highest power team you can put together, and throw that at arena. Somewhere around 41-45k this will break your 12th node.


My GW was super easy, but then again, it has been every since I started running Wiggs, Chaze, GK, with EP, Vader, RG, TFP, Boba for backup.

I normally use my rebels team which is 44k power, wiggs, leia, sth and lando. On the first round or two i swap in palp and phasma to get them a good amount of turn meter and then take them back out and save them for the b team, which i sometimes need to resort to on the last node. Im not yet set up for any of the new meta teams
