UPDATE 2 AM 4/13 PST

Greetings Heroes,

We apologize for the unexpected behavior in the Rise Together event. We've identified the issue, however, we want to take more time to ensure the event is ready for all of you.

Unfortunately, we will be removing the Event, Packs and all related messaging until further notice.

We (likely @CG_Kozispoon :smile: ) will be posting tomorrow with updates on the event as we move forward.

Thank you all again VERY much for all your passion and support for !

This whole argument about "Cantina" and "Cantina Battles" is dumb. ANYONE that has played this game since the beginning knows that the double drop has always been cantina battle shards. I guess with the exception of this MOD doubles people are talking about that I've never seen, but it's ALWAYS been cantina battle shards so this whole wording argument can stop because it's not valid.
Not well apparently, as a huge slapfight has broken out over the technicality of what "cantina" even means apparently.

Mod battles should prolly get their own energy, imo.

Cantina and Mods competing is loving gross.

Dont. That doesn't say double drops cancelled it says the Phoenix event is delayed.

Double drops usually go live after arena payout time est when they push updates. Wait till then.

Did I... did I miss anything important?
I have a full First Order team in arena, hovering between 100-150 in the rankings. I'm gonna have my first zeta ready tonight and was wondering if I should stick it on phasma or kylo. I know everyone loves kylo's but would phasma be better for boosting my whole squad?

I've never encountered this problem before. Offensively, I think it still goes to Kylo. In your hands, he's basically unkillable (even Boba/Vader have a hard time with him -- stacking dots just makes him go insanely fast and do more damage). Defensively it probably goes to Phasma.

I got 22 Kylo shards from 100x2 + 200 but I realized I probably should've been simming the cheaper 10 energy node for the extra 8 attempts

Lets just go like we did with AAT, P1 is immediate upon raid start and P2/3/4 at the following raid start.

Ok I think we can probably start doing this with the next tank raid (which will happen after guild rollover tomorrow). Do people think we should cap p1 damage, to, say 800k?

(Also FO arena user)
Zeta Phasma means crit immunity at the start, so you won't instadie when facing droids or clones or wiggs etc.

Zeta Kylo can solo almost whole teams unless he gets stunned or ability blocked, that's why I can't get past the wall of Sith currently at rank 30+. Thinking about going full tenacity just to try if it works; but I bet there's some good reason not to :(

Zeta FOST is unpredictable but really fun when it procs in FOTP on a counterattack, melting Wedge before you even had a go :agesilaus:

Another request for advise on what to use my new zeta on:

https://swgoh.gg/u/bobthedestroyer/collection/

First zeta was used on Vadar, I'm building Maul and Kylo however they aren't there quite yet. I'm thinking maybe QGJ or Cody but they're both a bit underwhelming. My Jedi team isn't too bad so might go with QGJ.

Thoughts?

I would probably save it for maul/kylo or use it on Boba Fett. You're 2 critical Jedi away from having a really good zQGJ team so I think it would be a waste there. You'd want 2 out of Aayla, barriss, GK to go with QGJ, JKA, Yoda

I'm 114/145 for GK so he's coming along.

I might just hold off on using it at all and hope I get a poo poo tonne of Kylo shards during the double drop period

Trip report: Zid

He works about as advertised. The extra health is nice. +50% potency means I can load him up w CC mods for extra dots, and he's getting 2 or 3 extra turns in each arena fight, which means I'm laying down his special twice; a really nice benefit under Zader, both for dots and tm reduction.

I don't see him being as useful under any other lead but he's definitely improved my team.

What's the full lineup? I assume he replaces Palp in a Zader/TFP/Boba/Shore lineup?

I replaced Boba since he's not empire and I wanted to maximize the AOE TM reduction. So, Zader/Zid/EP/TFP/Shore. Not having execute can suck against 2x tank teams, but those are fairly rare.

Yeah, I don't know that I could roll without the offensive dispel and taunt-ignoring AB on my shard. But seems like it'd definitely be stronger against Zaul teams without a pretaunt

I collect all toons and lvl40 G4 them, and in retrospect, that would have been good enough for this event. Honestly I hope they keep this up.

It's only 130k credits to lvl 40 a guy, and the gear requirement is mostly just piles and piles of poo poo you won't miss anyway.

Yeah, although I'm glad you don't need to get them fully leveled and geared; I just took them up to 50/GS 4 or 5, and threw on leftover mods, and was able to clear it.

The follow-up event is specifically added for "replay-ability*.

Many people complained that they didn't get to replay the character unlock events to learn more about how to play the character. This follow-up event is designed for no other purpose than letting you dick around and learn more about character synergy... it also teases you with how they would perform at higher levels.

There was never supposed to be a reward, and I don't intend to complete these follow-up poo poo ever.

Ok IGD goons, next tank raid goes as follows:

1. Start at 8pm pacific
2. Attack P1 freely
3. When P1 is down, hold damage until tomorrow morning at 8am pacific
4. After 8 am, attack P2+ freely

Do still be smart with your teams, but we're in good shape for damage.

So this was asked in guild chat, but the new ship spam went by so fast I missed it if anyone answered it.

Why exactly are Phoenix Squad so bad? As a new player I have no barometer to tell what makes a good 85 unit since I'm not even close to that yet.

And what about the Phoenix Ships, are they any good at all?

Neither the characters nor the ships are awful... the problem is he only way to get either into a place where they are broadly usable requires the investment of thousands of dollars - compounded by the fact that they really only shine when used together. A big part of Phoenix's power comes from Hera's lead that allows all Phoenix characters to share their passive bonuses, so you want to use them all together. The ships are similarly heavily partnered, and in turn require you invest in all six of the aforementioned toons.

TL;Dr: they could be great, but for the next several months, they're basically a tease. None of them is a Baze or a Nihlius that can define a team on their own at 4*/G11 for arena.

Phoenix would poo poo on a lot of the old meta teams but the problem is a lot of their gimmick (Counter, TM gain through using abilities, assist calls) get completely shut down by the top meta team right now zMaul.

If you werent worried about being in say the top 50 or top 100 they are probably a dece arena team, but if you start reaching into the zMaul stratus you're gonna get poo poo kicked.

CG created a monster with zMaul squad and I'm not sure how they can hard counter the team without releasing an insanely op unit.

The classic unit who in theory offers some counter play but will realistically never take more than like 2 turns. Maybe jedi Luke will get a zeta that makes all allies attacks unevadable.

I liked this event for that reason. I just dropped piles of garbage gear and a trivial amount of credits to do the whole thing. Adding to that the replay part having a really nice mix of squads to fight (not so much on the ship side) made this event pretty fun. I wish they would give us the non ship part of the replay in some area so we could have the ability to test arena teams. It wouldn't reflect actual arena fights though since mods but it would be nice.

Also :toot: baze and chirrut are almost ready. Cassian g9, k2 g9, and bistan g8 7*. Jyn though 4* that's taking forever. I think I am a month or two from full r1. So my question is should I save my all my zetas or should I zeta kylo since I will finally 7 star him during double drops and he is already 85 g8 or around there.

Or they could just nerf zMaul, they've brought back OB/dooku lead levels of dodge with his zeta, they nerfed their dodge %'s way back when the dodge meta was everywhere, they should do the same here. They can't look at an arena top 50 see 70% zMaul and think "yep he's fine". Either knock off some % evasion of % TM or ideally knock both down to 15 or 10/15.

But having faced it in GW the other day Zihilus sith teams are going to be brutal when they start to appear, at least with them you won't see "DODGED" 25 times before you lose.
