Yesterday, I ran into a lvl 84 Phoenix squad at node 6 that I couldn't beat with any of my teams. That is the worst I have done in GW in a long time.

Nope. It took my 3 best teams (Rebels, Jedi, Sith/Empire) to just take out Kanan because he and Chopper kept tanking.

You need a suicide team for that. Once Kenobi is down, it's not that hard anymore

I've been getting that exact team on node 9 and 12 for the past few days. It's not very fun to be honest.

My suicide node 12 team is Zader, TFP, Palpatine, Boba Fett, and Stormtrooper Han.

It can usually kill at least one from that comp and the rest is downhill. As I'm sure everyone is tired of me saying, this set-up loving murders baze.

It really does. Because of that, I'm shifting my Chaze combo to a B-team and building a new A-team around Luke.

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.

Alright. Was hoping he was skipable since he seems like a rough farm. The rest of the resistance aren't too bad.
Good point about TM carrying over, i didn't think of that.

Mister Blueberry posted:

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.

Ah darn, another bunch of guys i am going to want to farm asap :(

I am a bit overwhelmed with choices atm. I have Lando, STH, Biggs at 7*. Phoenix Squad are all going to be 7* in about a week (with Kanaan lagging a bit behind). That takes care of 7* Palpie and 7* Thrawn.

I guess Yoda is skippable for the time being and i should focus on R2D2 then CLS after Palpie/thrawn? Do R2D2 require a specific team or can i bring any 7* empire heroes at G8'ish? Palpie, thrawn, TFP, Stormtrooper and Magmatrooper? Maybe Vader instead of ST, he is 5*+25 atm.

Magmatrooper still sucks.

Palpatine, Thrawn, Vader, RG, TFP would be ideal, but getting Vader to 7*'s is a bit of an uphill climb. Magma can sub in for RG if you just don't want to spend the cantina currency. Snowtrooper is also viable for this, but he's from guild currency.

Stormtrooper is bad, don't bother. Lots better poo poo to get from Cantina currency.

Or go Deathtrooper and laugh as he deathmarks R2 and then your team 2-shots him :laugh:

On the resistance front, RTrooper isn't THAT bad of a grind (compared to someone like Jyn). He has 2 cheap hard nodes (one LS, one DS, so perfect for daily activites) at 12 energy each. Since we can do 5x hard node attempts right now, you can spend 120 energy for a chance at 10 shards a day, and then supplement that with 5-pieces from the guild store. It's taken me about a month and a half now (and back then I'd often pass him up for Sabine while I was farming her) but I've got him at 11/100. And yes, he's crucial. I didn't realize how crucial until I got to use him this week, now that I have a zFinn of my own.

One thing you'll quickly learn is that this game pulls you in a hundred directions. Pick one or two of them and focus on one at a time for optimal results.

Ok I finally got a new phone and want to transfer over. I've had my account for years but I guess never upgraded it to a Google Play account. I have a play account but it created a new SWGOH account at lvl 1. Is there anyway I can take my existing SWGOH "guest" account and merge it into a Google Play account and move it over to my new phone or am I screwed?

EDIT: Figured it out finally, had to make a new Google account and then sign in on my old phone as a guest and then create a new Google Games account under the new Google account. Then on my new phone add the new Google account and sign into the Google Games account from there. They really need a better system.

Troopers only work with each other, really. Without the stacking passives they all fall short except for Shore and maybe Snow that he gets CDR per Crit on his AoE. Any Palp Team can probably do it. I'd recommend Something like Tarkin/Ep/Vader (any of them could lead) TFP/anyone else. Tarkin's pretty easy to pick up these days, he's in ship shop and arena and you'll need him decent to get Zeta mats eventually anyway.

Zader can deal with those, if you have nihilus, it's even better. Preload TM for Zader, the dots should kill them slowly. Palpatine's shock is a good way to keep them from healing.

The problem with the elite heroes now is that you can't rely on node 12 cannon fodder teams. You can end up doing more harm than good to your cause with the way teams can regenerate protection and health now.

They say nodes haven't changed, but the entire dynamic of GW has changed because of zetas and new characters.

Sith/Empire sounds like a good idea against Phoenix, until you realize that Phoenix gains a lot of health each time they get debuffed. A zMaul with Nil can be dangerous though, but most other Sith teams get absorbed unless they are super powerful.

You should restart, even if its a pain. You're now hopelessly behind the rest of your arena group and ship arena group. If you start from scratch you can be competitive. Level 35 isnt too far into the game so you arent losing much. You'll rapidly make up for it by placing higher in arena and having the goon advantage in strategy.

Agreed. it takes maybe 2 days to get back to 35. Follow the guide. Also I think the alt goon guild has openings. When Qui-gon goon has an opening I'll let you know.

If they have rings around their portrait like R2, you're in trouble. If they just have a purple silhouette (or even better, blue), then they arent that far ahead.

I mean. You can unlock and move on. I'd recommend 5* for mid challenges and at least 1 character to 7* asap. So you can do raids. Raiding let's you get guild currency which lets you farm rey and other cool characters

I tend to disagree with this. On newer shards, STH is still pretty good and a more versatile toon for raids than Kanan. Depends if you want to unlock CLS or Thrawn i guess...
