I don't like that I have to suddenly have a high star Luke to do the higher tiers. He wasn't a good character before, still isn't but I have to have him at 6 stars all of a sudden with practically no warning or time to prep?

Thanks for the empire suggestions, Shore is a little too out of my league atm (currently 83 and i can't even beat 9 normal yet). How does MagmaTrooper stand these days? He's really easy for me to level and I'll have him at 7 in not time so I assume he's poo poo.

He's okay, especially if your game plan is to prevent the other side from ever getting a turn. I've been using him until I get TFP up and running and it works well enough.

The big problem is magma's main has a second attack that hits a random opponent, meaning you can potentially gently caress yourself if the enemy team has counter attacks.

The idea is that with double drops, you can maximize your returns by letting energy cap and then spending all of your refreshes without using energy the prior day. It's most notable with mods/cantina energy. When double drops for those start tonigh, I'll have ~900 energy saved up to spend, plus 3x100 refreshes from today and tomorrow, plus ~160 energy over the course of tomorrow.

All told, that's about ~1800 energy to spend on mod double drops. Or ~225 mods.

Probably too early to ask this yet but with Tarkins recent revamp has anyone been experimenting with his zetas and building a speed-focused empire squad around him? I ask because of the fact my first zeta will probably be getting applied in a week or two, RNG allowing, and it was going to be Maul (and still might) only recent discussion ITT suggests Zaul is on his way out of the meta because of R2.

Now, I have a 7-star R2 sitting there waiting to be levelled up, maybe I should be dropping everything and levelling that? I just bought the Shoretrooper pack though so he's my current focus. I put a droid caller on Tarkin not long ago for his ship challenge and I'm hoping I can get more use out of him with the revamp and a little more gearing up, but if despite the revamp that's pretty much all he's good for then I'll not waste another energy on him.

Here's my profile in-case that helps.

edit: can someone re-post that youtube video that clearly and succinctly explains exactly how mods work and how to spot the ones worth levelling and the ones to sell right away? I want to put it in my guild message because everyone is getting mods now and asking stuff and it's kind of fiddly explaining it all in guild chat.

I haven't seen anything to suggest that Tarkin (L) will be a real thing at level 85. The speed bonus on his leader zeta (2) is basically negligible, and while the expose is good, you're running against triple cleanse, which means you have to get damage on that target a second time before they get cleansed.
Looking at your profile, I would just hold off on that zeta. Your rebels aren't really ready for R2, and while R2 is good, a lot of his power comes from his zeta abilities, which will have no impact on an Empire team. You could run Zaul (L) EP, Sid, Nil, STH/RG, but I'm not sure how good that would be on your shard. You'd need to gear Nil more.

Yeah that's been an on and off thing I've been doing in between other stuff (I know that's the worst way to play it but I get distracted) so after shoretrooper has been brought up to scratch I may make him my next focus.

Tier 1 and 3 are pretty bad because the entire fight is in the hands of RNG. I found the trick is to just auto it until it eventually wins by itself.

Zader
Zaul
Zylo

EP
TFP
Boba
RG
R2D2
Nihilus (5*)

OG Rebels (Wiggs, STHan, Lando, Leia and raid Han)

I just got a new zeta to use.

I also have Sid and Dooku (around G8). Rex, Chaze and Shore are not close to being ready.

Zaul, Nihlius, Zylo, Palp, +1 is probably your best short term option. The best +1 options more or less in order:

Zeta Sid with more gear (but I wouldn't neccesarily recommend burning the zeta for this)
Sith Assassin if you can give her enough speed mods to go first (stars and gear don't matter too much, just get her to go first it's like having a ton of extra speed for your team)
Sid with more gear
Dooku with more gear
Vader or Boba

Those last few really depend on matchups more than the relative strength of using any of them.

I'd probably put the Zeta on Nihlius' unique. It's the only place for you to put it with pretty good odds of outlasting the current metagame and working as you transition to something with chaze or a Rex lead or whatever new hotness shows up in July or whatever.

Are people still needed in any of those guilds? I just came back to this a few weeks ago and am in some other random guild but there isn't much happening with it. A week ago a bunch of people got kicked out due to inactivity and then others just left, and we seem to be pretty slow to actually get through the tier 6 raids since only... 24 of us are even attempting them.

I'm pretty low on both level and gear for these things, though (72, no characters past level 70 and gear 8, only two 7-star and one 6-star). I don't really have the people/levels/gear needed to even finish Galactic War right now. I think I've done it twice, and that was back around level 60 or 65.

6* Mace Windu
6* Obi-Wan Kenobi
4* Qui-Gon Jinn
5* Clone Wars Chewbacca
4* Talia
4* Jedi Consular

4* Grand Moff Tarkin
4* Ahsoka Tano
3* Count Dooku
3* Captain Phasma
3* Bodhi Rook

then some not worth mentioning 1* and 2* characters. I was focusing on getting Jedi, but it seems like I get absolutely destroyed with them. I'm level 57 right now and can't make it past the third tier in Galaxy War or break out of the 2500-5000 bracket in Squad Arena.

Around 50 is tough too, just from the fact that whales will have high class mods while scrubs will be fighting with whatever they can get and level. It starts balancing out again around 60-65.

Honestly, you'll be a lot happier if you read the OP, then restart your game. Level 50 is less than 2 weeks if you play right.

You can build a half decent Jedi team:

QGJ (l), Obi, Luminara, Ashoka, Mace/JC. Swap in Lumi as lead for GW, QGJ for arena.

Use that while you get your rebel squad ready. Wedge (at level 69), Biggs, Lando, STH, AA/Leia.
