Hi guys, is there room in a goon guild for my super-casual self? I mean, I play pretty much every day, but I'm way far away from optimal given that I like to pick up weird characters. Also, I quit playing for a few weeks a while ago and now I'm terminally behind in arena, constantly getting squads that are 6-10 levels above and way better geared than me.

Anyhow, ally code is 144-332-691.

Palpie, Royal Guard (currently at 5*, so not too bad a grind), TFP, Magmatrooper and Stormtrooper. Will those be able to get R2 7*?
2 of those are from cantina, so i won't be able to do FBLuke or Old Ben at the same time, so getting CLS (assuming he pops up right after the R2 event again) is going to be tough.

You guys said earlier that the Imp Troopers are only good in a Veers-led team, but will they be completely useless vs the R2 event?
Its not like there are a lot of other options, for anyone, to get 5 7* Empire characters. GMT and Vader perhaps, but both are nasty grinds (Vader isn't even really grindable is he)

Sounds like the exact same team I used to get R2 to 7*. It wasn't easy because my mods suck, but I succeeded so I'm sure you can too. The hardest part was doing it enough times to figure out who to prioritize and get lucky with RNG.

Stormtrooper sees regular use in HAAT (chirpatine with RG and Palp makes for a very high defense ST). Deathtrooper gets used a ton (although less these days, but he's a really good anti-rebel unit). Shoretrooper is still one of the best tanks in the game. For awhile, Snowtrooper was super handy when there were very few imperials, but, not really anymore without Veers led. Magmatrooper has never been good, and if you're running veers, he's definitely the 6th trooper.

What gear levels did you have, if you remember? And how bad are bad mods? Just random ones you already had in your mod inventory, or somewhat targeted farms from mod challenges?

Yeah, but what i wondered was if they are completely useless for R2 if i only bring 2 troopers and 3 other Imperials. Bringing a full Trooper squad is nigh impossible for a new player like myself. Deathtrooper is in Cantina 8 which i cannot get to, Veers is only from hard modes (so a 2-3 month farm), Shoretrooper is like a literal year long farm.
Bringing an entirely non-trooper squad is also nigh impossible, as there aren't 5 Imperials that are grindable.

CG is also going to give 10 Chewie Shards as a "thank you." Speaking of underwhelming characters that will probably soon get a buff, it wouldn't surprise me if we're going to need 7* G8 Clone Wars Chewie to get the new OP Chewie at some point.

I think I ran EP, Vader, TFP, RG, Snowtrooper (G11, G10, G11, G10, G7?). EP, Vader, TFP, and RG carried it, but it was a little difficult. I think I beat it first time around, but R2 goes cheatingly fast (like 2-3x a normal character speed), and can just wreck everything pretty fast. I don't really have a good answer for you, unfortunately.

Oh man, that is considerably higher gear level than i expected. GL11? I can get dudes to GL8 with some effort but even GL9 doesn't really seem obtainable yet.

Snowtrooper is a great asset to have around at Gear 7 or so just for the monthly ewok slaughter event.

But yeah, unless it's the only thing keeping you from Thrawn I can't reccomend either Snow or Magma unless you're all in on Veers shenanigans (both are used in the Veers P4 HAAT comp for example.)

Shore, Storm, and Death are all great on their own and used in various Imperial configurations, together and separately, and are all great.

My empire dudes are a mix of G8 and a couple G9. Luck carried me farther than gear, I think.

ST from Cantina store, Tarkin from Arena store, Mags from GW Store, TFP from Cantina node, +1 of your choice. If you've got a 7* vader or EP, you're set. I bought Vader in the fleet shipments every time I saw him.

Edit: Mags pulls his weight in a poor mans Zader squad because of that grenade toss so having him isn't a total waste.

somebody teased that it's on the horizon. They're going to redo the nightsister faction and likely introduce a new character.

For TBs, you use LS and DS ships, and for much of it, only 6* ships are required:
"Starting with Phase 3, you will be able to use your ships. In Phase 6 you need 6-star ships of both sides, Light and Dark, in combat missions, but for platoons here 7-star ships are required."


If you're looking for more information on TBs, this is a really good resource

120 energy and 50 crystals per day if you refresh. That gives the possibility of maybe 5 starring in 73 days. A fifth of a year.

But, your right. I should just not focus on him and hope they add his shards to some other mode. Also my math might be off.
