If you friend me, my zFinn should let you beat them if you have your resistance dudes at any sort of reasonable gear level.

So how do you go about setting which character you share with allies?

you share allies separately for all three dark side, light side, and cantina missions. Just log in and do 1 node manually with the leader you want shared and that leader will be available to your friends.

Also, a big TY to Jerkface (not sure the SA handle) who put GK on his light side ally which allowed me to finally 3 star Shoretrooper.

What toons do you use in your resistance team?

Mine are:


I'm considering getting zFinn, but I don't really use that team much as I've also have a decent Sith team.

^this. R2 was what brought resistance into fashion for his potency boost and ability to pop exposes off the taunt (along with all the other cool poo poo he does for any team) but for LS hard nodes any zFinn lead w 4 resistance should work fine. Make sure Poe/Finn/RT/RP have potency to max expose

Unlocked:

Or just bank arena currency until Ep VIII arrives?

Prolly worth unlocking NG at least, as it's supposed there will be a review for Separatists soonish and he's the likely choice for fleet commander.

On the flip side, might they just give us the unlock shards if they do make him fleet commander, like they did with other pilots? Are there any pilots they have introduced post-ships launch that we didn't get some welfare shards for?

I have a new algorithm for sm AAT. 12 hr hold, p1, 6 hr hold, p2, 6 hr hold, p3, 6 hr hold p4.

It might seem a little complicated, but it's just 2 points on the clock that give at least 2 reasonable time slots to every time zone on the globe.

Raid start: 8p (get your zero in)
P1: 8a
P2: 2p
P3: 8p
P4: 2a

It leaves 18 hrs mop up time for p4, which we havent needed historically.

This is going to sound really paranoid but does drop rates go down if you have enough shards to promote a character but don't promote?

I got my Ezra to 86/85 but am holding off on promoting him for now. Up until that point, he had a near perfect 33% drop rate from cantina (i have been logging the drops). Since then, i have gotten 4 shards in 90 cantina battles. 4 shards in 720 cantina energy... Statistically it should have been 30

I did and no-one seemed to mind.

Have the devs of this game given any indication about whether they are aware of and/or think the final GW node being literally impossible 95% of the time as being an issue at all? Or is that working as intended, because it's been the single most annoying source of frustration the last few weeks, and it compounds the normal daily galactic chore fatigue.

I didn't mind it so much back when it was the occasional time but it's every loving time now. Just have 11 nodes then. Or better: shrink it down to six nodes and double the rewards on them.

My node 11 is basically what my node 12 used to be like. I can do it about 70-80% of the time. Occasionally easy, mostly challenging but do-able with some sacrifices, occasionally impossible. 12 is now always impossible.

They must be seeing in the data more and more people are doing this and realise it's a problem? The answer is probably that as long as whales keep on whaling they don't really care.

fake edit and now I've annoyed myself by missing the refresh because I was whining about it on the internet. My head feels like a deflated balloon I'm going to bed.

I burn through 3-4 teams beating GW some days. Most days just 1-2. The trick is having a deep roster.

Or get zFinn resistance, that apparently owns in GW.

Rebs have a real hard time with LS9, but Jedi can clear through it. I powered through with zQGJ (L), Kanan, Ezra, Mace, JKA. I borrowed whoever was strongest, Luminara when I could get her but Biggs as well. Foresight every time you kill something REALLY cuts down on the bs aoe in LS9 2 and 3.

EDIT GL 8 for Kanan, Ezra, and JKA, 9 for QGJ and 10 for Mace (because I use his ship, don't you loving judge me). I used mace over Tano because he hits hard, I had him geared to the 9s, and the extra dispel was useful. Any competently geared Jedi could replace him, though, and I know lots of people have actually put time and effort in Luminara, I just think she's too slow.

Ive finished every day since I got him in May. The only team that gives them an ounce of trouble is full zQGJ/zYoda jedi. Luckily I have a DS aoe team for those nodes.

Does the zFinn GW team require Resistance Trooper or is R2D2 good too? R2 is resistance for some reason, and a lot easier to get than Resistance Trooper

Resistance Trooper is part of the Core Trio for resistance along with zFinn and Poe. R2, Pilot, and Rey you get to choose two out of three depending on what you're trying to do.

The reason the team is so good for GW is because once they start rolling, they gain massive amounts of ™, and since that carries over in galactic war, you'll often clear entire enemy teams before they get a turn.

Resistance ar egreat for so many things btw, and GW is just one of those things.

You get the speed mods, which are great. You get a LS team able to easily beat the lvl9 Hard Light side battles. A decent arena team on attack. And one of the best teams for HAAT, good in phases 2, 3 and 4.

Some teams can cause a bit of problem, especially with all the mix and mismatch metas we are having now.
But yeah, Zfinn can handle almost anything especially with TM advantage.

By the way my guild is EU based and we are recruiting 12 members that have teams for HAAT after a small purge we had.

We do 24 hour zero DMG on heroic pit and we run normal AAT at the moment, but we're fairly certain that HAAT will be beat next time we go for it, which is september.

So if you like EU hours for raids (7 or 8pm GMT) contact me on discord! discord PM: Lino Albaro#2619
