Something Maulful goons, here's our strategy for Territory Wars:

1. Deploy around 4 teams of varying strength to 4 different territories, and one fleet (ships are the back two on the top row).
2. Hold back your resistance team, phoenix team (because these teams tend to do better on offense), and your arena team
3. Tomorrow, when the fight starts, try to select matches where you you believe you will have close wins. Any given offense team only fights once, so there's no need to set up a match where you crush the enemy team while taking no damage.
4. Similarly, don't start a fight where you're going to be crushed without getting at least one kill, because defending teams work like GW, where they keep damage but also keep turn meter.
5. This is a learning experience for everyone, don't get too worked up about it.

I only have two team eligible for TW and I put them both on defense, whoops

Yes, I was saying wedge/rex are good arena leaders and you should focus one.

The clearest path I can see for you for a better arena squad might be Wiggs/R2/Leia/OB with Wedge leading. You can probably do well with them.

You're not all that far off from having the characters for some of the more commonly used teams in arena:

I guess i will do [Wedge L, Biggs, R2, Leia, OB] then. Not a fan of any of those characters except R2, but my Rex is only GL7 and i want to gear up my FO in preparation of BB8, and i lack other characters commonly used with Rex (GK, Barista)
I like Nihilus and Thrawn, would [Rex L, Nihilus, Thrawn, R2, OB] work?
My Arena meta is a bit whale-y at the high end with several GK's and CLS's at G12, but the 30-200 positions are mostly Wiggs, Phoenix Squad or Sith teams.

For TW, do you think it's a good idea to try to diversify the defense squads? In other words, try not to overload one territory with too many rebel/empire/etc squads, if possible?

I guess things will change in the future with they experiment with faction bonuses in certain territories and whatnot.

their customer log is now at 72 hours waittime, but apparently they are investigating the matter a little more thoroughly. Their first response was "wait for it" which is utter bull, as the crash made the system believe that half of my guild didn't participate at all in TB (hence the star count not updating in achievements).

But at least I'm not alone in this. Last week a lot of guilds didn't get their ROLO special mission rewards as well, still nothing on that either.

Probably not for many years, but BB2 is scheduled for release March 26, 2021. The good news is Alec Baldwin is on board to reprise the lead role.

BB-8 should theoretically come back before jrey, which is theoretically on the 15th, unless its falcon instead of jrey because gently caress the playerbase

GW is now incredibly easy at level 85. I run a single team (CLS, Leia, Raid Han, Wedge, Biggs) and auto all the way through it, occasionally losing one guy in the last mission.

Echoing this. My nightsisters have no trouble clearing it. I haven't seen a CLS in it since the patch, and I was usually facing something cheesy on node 12.

I thought they had fixed that. GW doesn’t get harder for me anymore, at any rate, now that the levels are coming slower and slower.

GW difficulty is now set to a player who has recently reached level 85 with a half decent arena team. Which mean only node 12 should give someone at that level trouble. It's made GW a breeze to clear for vets who were running in all g12 200+ speed gently caress you teams at node 6, 9, 11, & 12. My own arena can now tear through a GW in under 10 minutes.

Something maulful is down to the last two territories in this war, what I'm unsure on is do we "win" if we wipe out all their territories before they take down ours? Or do they get till the end of the deadline to clear our territories, do we both get equal rewards for both clearing? Is there a bonus for us clearing and them not? I wish they'd release giant walls of text explaining this stuff alongside the endless YouTube videos I won't watch.

I know there’s a damage hold on Rancor for the first 24 hours, but what’s the go-to way to do zero damage but still get on the board for rewards?

This is purely theoretical, as my team of Talia, Biggs, and Garzeb usually do 0 damage before wiping regardless.

You can enter a single character, just ok the warning and then make sure you only hits the guards not the captain.

I have never had this much trouble with GW.

Back when it was in gently caress you mode at least i didn't meet enemy lineups with oneshot mechanics such as wiggs, boba fett, Veers trooper rapetrains etc. Now every single loving squad i meet has one of these lineups (or a DN led sith squad)

Every fight is a constant exercise in having to restart because biggs + wedge + a random oneshot one of my guys, or boba's rocket oneshotting one of my guys due to having a bunch of heal effects from Chirrut, or Veersusing his assist to have all his troopers oneshot one of my guys. Then you have the DN squads which virtually always means DN will erase one of my guys on his third turn so i need to focus fire him down while maul, sid and dooku has a field day.

GW has become a poo poo-ton easier for me. Instead of seeing hilarious whale brigades even at G9, I can auto it to G11 with my not-so-good resistance team and then use CLS to finish the last two nodes.

Also, territory war actually seems fun, like I'm really playing a video game instead of pushing butan to maybe get hero six months from now.

especially because with the limited amount of defense spots, it seems like most matches at our GP should end up tying anyway. At the least, make a 3rd "tie" reward bracket.
