Is there any Solo squads for tank raid yet? Is there a resource that shows the current best squads for each phase?

Sure, just put Captain Han in as Leader and follow up with Raid Han, ST Han, and Old Han, with Old Chewie as your fifth.

Is one of the auto-ish teams: Zader (L), Jyn, Tarkin, TFP, and what else?

I use this + Thrawn. G11 Zader, Thrawn, TFP, G8 Tarkin and Jyn. Can full auto solo, but sometimes you need to babysit at the beginning of some phases.

Get that Thrawn next time :)

Ackbar (L), CLS, Thrawn, BB8 and Assaj can do 33 million on hAAT according to a YT vid i saw, that i cannot find again.

He had GL12 CLS and Assaj, GL11 the rest iirc.
Assaj is the mvp with half the total damage done, due to her passive that ramps up as you kill enemies and the adds in the fight triggering the passive.

More specifically, snAckbar/CLS/Thrawn/BB8 +1 can solo phases 3 and 4 along with anwywere from half to a third of P2. The plus one is either zeta Raid Han or zeta Asajj. With the latter being much faster and more reliable at the back end, and with Han offering much more control early in P3.

Nightsisters have a rough time on P1 unless you're going to forgo Talzin in favor of Acolyte. I think zAV(L), Talia, Zombie, Daka, Acolyte would be able to do some major damage. MT's dot mechanics just trigger GG way too much, unless you're comfortable with 3x green triangles at a time.

P1: CLS, Han
Teebo, CLS, FOO, Barriss/Chirrut/Healer, OB/Bodhi
P2: Zader, Zid, Shaman, Phasma, Boba
Wiggs, CLS, Ezra, Leia
50% to raid clear: Ackbar, zAsajj, zzCLS, BB8, zThrawn
30%ish to raid clear: zzCLS (z but not required L), zHan, zThrawn, BB8, zR2
P3: Chirpa, Palp, Thrawn, Storm, RG (or Shore, or another tank: 2 to 2.7mil)
Thrawn, Shore, Tarkin, EP, CLS
Thrawn, Krennic, Tarkin, TFP, Shore
Resistance with R2
P4: Finn, Poe, RT, RP, BB8 (100% -- doing it with g10, g11, g10, g9, g11)
zCody, Echo, Fives, Clone Sergeant, Princess Leia (100%)
Rebels (50-75%)

Additions/changes to this list that I’d make:

P1: CLS Alone can do 1-2m and retreat and repeat.
P2: Ewok Elder can replace Boba in Zader comp
Wiggs/CLS/Ezra Leia is way better in P4 - they’re squishy.
Resistance, by contrast, has access to cleanses and a heal and can cover most of P2 with BB8 and RP
And finally, the Ackbar squad can run zSolo instead of Ventress with comparable results.
P3:
It’s Thrawn Krennic Tarkin Jyn Shore. TFP is redundant with Krennic and doesn’t do enough to reduce TM.
P4:

It’s out of reach of everyone short term, but Starck Troopers can apparently full solo P4. So that’s a guildshop farm to look forward to for trooper enthusiasts.

Yeah, I know CLS can do magical things, and people are welcome to run him over and over again, but I find that overly tedious. Do what you gotta do to clear HAAT though.

I mostly disagree with the P2/P4 swap. While Wiggs and such are better in P4 than P2, Resistance are so much better at P4 that they can clear the whole thing. Sure, a maxed Wiggs/CLS squad can do about half of P4, but Resistance do 30-50% in P2, while Rebels can still carry 20%ish in P2. Resistance, on the other hand, does 100% of P4 (with BB8). I think that without BB8, P2 is the right choice for them, but with BB8, there's just no contest.
Although, if you have CLS, Han, Thrawn, BB8, and R2, you should be trying to clear P3 and P4 in one go.

I went with the first two videos I could find online for grand maneuver and went with those. You are the imperial expert though. It sounds like CLS is a huge improvement over Jyn though.

It’s honestly somewhat of a push between CLS/Palp and Krennic/Jyn if Krennic is actually geared up and modded well (he hits like a goddamn truck). But you want one of those two combos, as both of them have, between them, Tenacity Down, a full TM Removal, and 3 empire specials.

The CLS/Palp variant is probably a bit better/faster, and a bit more accessible, but both are solid.

Wonder how many players will be able to get her.

A lot of veterans could get CLS since he required a bunch of heroes that had at some point been meta or were meta when he arrived, and all 5 requirements were somewhat easy to get.

For Rey you need 2 hard mode only farms as well as 2 20-energy cantina farms that just recently got released.
I have gotten FOST and FOTP to 7* sporadically farming them since the previous BB8, but getting the veterans wouldn't have been possible even with 500 crystals on cantina energy a day.

Well, shit.
I spent a bunch of crystals getting Han and Chewie to 5* in the hopes that new Rey would unlock at 5*. I think only the whaliest whales will be able to 7* two 16-energy cantina toons that have only been out for what, two weeks.

According to http://www.swgoh.life/panic.html, even with both now at 5* it will cost me 22,000 crystals to get them to 7* in time for Rey. No thanks!

Great marketing for the new movie though! 'Go gently caress Yourselves' - E.A.

I can only assume she's going to be at least as powerful as CLS. Combine that with the fact that relatively few people are going to get her, I can see this being the straw that breaks the back of a lot of players.

Am surprised there is no spammable shard pack for the veterans. The (really expensive) 50 shard per vet pack is a one-off, meaning anyone that won't be able to 7* with Cantina + pack wont do any of those options.
If they had had a 1299 crystal pack for vet shards then a lot more people would go for the combo pack.

Whales will just buy crystals instead and refresh the cantina nodes and the store. Doesn't matter a lot to them. People spent thousands of dollars on nightsisters, ofc they will cash up for a chance of getting Jedi Rey, especially if she's as powerful as CLS

I'm not worried in the slightest to be honest as my arena shard is completely whale-free. No one is running nightsisters or KRU FO, just the classic f2p rex, titan or empire comps.
So i highly doubt a lot of them will be getting Rey this time around causing a big upset or anything.

I’m gonna assume 325 total shards needed.

If you spend 700 energy banking Cantina today and 700 on both double drop days, you should get ~80 shards.

That then gives you ~14 days to earn 225 shards. 5 refreshes per day of Cantina energy should bring in ~15 shards per day.

So if you can afford 700 crystals per day and are willing to buy the pack, you should be able to make it.

I wish I had a whale free shard. The double drops will help me get FOST to 5* and get a 5* BB8. FOST is a tough and my last FO farm. Welp. There is no way I'm going to get AARP Han and Chewie in only a few days and I really don't want to. I'd rather get a decent Empire trooper squad going.

Question time: I have a zeta ready to go and I'm unsure where to put it. I curently have zCLS (binds all things), zzR2, zRhan, and zKylo. I'm thinking either

zThrawn - either leader for TW or his unique for arena.
Zader - for HAAT
zMaul - for much better Sith Squad

Thoughts?
