Only if you wanna.

It's a stand-up thing to do, to allow other goons a chance at high shards... but... my need for loving fusion furnaces is greater than you goony fucks and your raid han, sorry.

Man ships is so weird, I'll fight a guy with three star ships and he'll annihilate me and never get Target Locked but I'll wipe out 5 star ships who seem scary on paper.

Also enemy Biggs getting protection to full repeatedly is fun, and wonderful.

I'm glad that I have enoug 7* g8+ characters to make it through GW most days. Rebels take me two thirds of the way and then droids plus my lumi led misfit team usually is sufficient to get all the nodes.

The top fleet commander challenges are all loving rigged I swear. I'll go in with a front five consisting of 4 7*, Level 85 ships, and one 6*, Level 77 ship (JC).

And before I even get a turn, Fives is dead, two others are ability blocked, and nobody, including Biggs, has any protection left.

It took me at least 30 tries to beat the challenge. Basically you need to get enough luck that nobody gets target locked on the initial volley, and then that the AI doesn't reinforce. Good Luck!

So is there any subs for clone Sarge in a clone team? The rest are all at or almost at 7* but him that's going to be a while.

Also :toot: zeta challenge finally rng'ed in my favor and it's 3*. Now all I need is some way to beat 9b. :smithicide:

From what I hear, he's pretty essential. You could try it with Cody, Fives, Echo, Rex, Leia. You're not going to post 5 mil, but you'll get damage in.

You can try borrowing my GK, he's 6* one item short of max, and has fairly beastly mods.

Not really. He does most of your damage, since he always crits

First rancor solo (not sure why I haven't been doing this before). Did p1 manually, and basic autoed through the rest, after applying debuffs.




Rancor never even got a single turn...

my Zam is only like 4*s, but she can get a poo poo ton of free turn meter and hand out free turn meter. She throws out thermal detonators on the whole team, then activates them when she attacks. LIke most of the other BH's not named Boba Fett or IG-88 she synergizes on the bounty hunter team but is lackluster otherwise. If you can crit with her shot and activate two detonators you're going to kill your target. She's not so great on defense because she blows her debuff first if the enemy has detonators, as does Greedo, instead of doubling up on the explosives and burning down the enemy team. If I was using them for Arena I'd use her with BH's, but if you don't have team mates to also drop detonators she's not that great, and if you're mixing scoundrels and bounty hunters the Lando's speed and crit damage bonus probably beats Boba Fetts crit damage.

It's probably a good idea to not stress being competitive and just work on minmaxing your dudes anyway.

I'm in a brand new shard and paid for a basic baze/chirrut and managed to stay top 10 for about a week but there is always a bigger whale so there are $500-$750 arena teams starting to filter to the top of my shard.

My Biggs/TFP/Ashoka/Wedge/Jedi Consular ship team was keeping me top 10 as well, but coincidentally most of the guys with the $500+ arena teams are also at the top of the ship rankings with the ships you could straight purchase (kylo rens shuttle/slave 1) with $$$ more in ships.

The advantage doesn't last forever though, they are just paying for a fastrack.

The advantage lasts forever. You can't go back and make those rank 1-3 shards later. They'll always be whales. Because they're holding those top spots, they'll have 7* Chaze long before someone who just stays in the top 50/20 can. Those free shards will push them ahead faster than you by buying daily refreshes as well as buying Chaze shards.

Fleet poo poo is honestly pretty dumb, rewards wise. So being top 10 isn't that much better than being top 20.

I'M APPARENTLY GAY AND MY POSTING SUCKS.
I've been enjoying the game so far as a newbie, but I'm a bit concerned now at level 51. The last galactic war node was increasingly difficult this time. I've gotten into whale territory now. The last node had a squad of level 60, 5* purple geared, Vader, Maul, Sidious and two others. It was a miracle that I could cheese my way to victory. If I can't get that last node, it would seriously hamper my progress.

For the first time yesterday I broke into the top 100 rank in the arena which is nice, but I'll never get to top 50 as a FTP player. I'm satisfied for now.

Another concern I have is my lack of dark side characters. The OP lists a bunch of light side heroes as priority over the few dark side heroes. I don't really have a reason to farm a dark side hero other than Boba right now, so hopefully I won't need anything from dark side battles in the near future.

I'm about to 5* Boba and STH, so that'll be nice. I've got my main 5 heroes souped up with mods and slowly progressing Mod Battles with two level 85 allies that pop up. And finally I'm focusing on getting level VII gear on my main squad.

The way ship power is calculated vs. the way ship actually work is way off. They really pushed it out without understanding how it would come together.

On another note, I just played through Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and it's funny how much the SWGOH tips in the store are 100% the kind of game tips that Blood Dragon parodies throughout the game.

"Be sure the character in your leader slot has a leader ability." You think?

50 to 60 is some of the hardest because you are just starting to get mods but others will be farther ahead and of course the whales become very noticeable because of them.

260 shards * 80/shard = 20,800 Crystals.


Unless you are planning to raid with him, 4-5* is as far as you want to go with crystals.


e:
Just for some quick math, you start at 20 shards if you completed everything, so you have to buy 12 shards to get to 4* (can only buy 4 at a time), so that's 960 crystals. To take him from 4* to 5* is an additional 64 shards, so that's 5120 crystals. Then you have to buy 84 shards to get to 6* for 6720 crystals. Finally it's another 8000 crystals to get to 7*. After 4*, each additional star does less for you compared to gear and levels. It does boost health by a decent amount, but premium characters are good in arena at 4*. I've been holding my own against whales (as in, people who have spent thousands) with 4* Chaze and 5/6* GK for a long time. The difference between my 4* Chaze and their 7* Chaze isn't enough for me to be unable to win on offense, and that's all that matters at this point.

One of my accounts is 4 jawas and Jedi Consular. It always ends badly since everyone gets stealth but JC so he's a 1st turn death in just about every fight. Every day is another adventure in frustration trying to do GW and arena until I can overcome my mistake.

Chirrut owns with Baze and kind of owns without him. The other 3 aren't arena-viable, although who knows with Cassians ship, they might be real good for fleet arena. Ship hasn't released yet.

Zetas come real slow. Expect between 2 and 5/week. Some goons have reported no zetas for weeks at a time.

That few, dear lord I hope I didn't just jinx myself. Well at least chirrut is almost unlocked. I was hoping cassian + k2so + wiggs + sth might work since I dumped so much gear on k2 when he came out hoping for a droid tank.
