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.

Rey is -totally- in reach of people who are in the top 10 conversation for payouts every day.

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.

The double-drops are only for characters needed for the Rey event. I too made this mistake.

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?

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.

Thanks. I have a pretty good amount of crystals banked so I think I can make it.

So 200 crystal refresh on double drops is more efficient than 320 for store shards right? At least the way I calculated it.

Without double drops, it’s breakeven but you get a bunch of extra stuff, at the risk of RNG loving you if you’re on a very tight deadline.

With double drops it’s a no brainer.

it's more efficient without double drops, statistically, but there is a chance you could get hosed.

with double drops, it's a no brainer. Blow 700 crystals on 5 refreshes at 11:55, then do it again at 12:05

yes, don't go past the 400 crystal refresh point, beyond that buying shards from shipments is cheaper. For double drops this is. 200 crystals is the cutoff for non-double drops.

I fully expect to grind out the whole Max Reebo Band (Sy Snoodles will be way OP) to unlock Salacious Crumb which will need to be 7* to get Block of Carbonite Han (BCH). We will get BCH before ROTJ Luke or Leia/Lando in Jabba's Palace disguises.

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
Best strategy for aquiring the spaceball?

My sci fi fascists aren't faring too well at the 6* stage, though Kylo and FOO are only GL7, with the rest GL8, and none have good mods.

Rey and the veterans go down fairly fast and seem to put out the most damage so i assume i want those gone first? When it is just spaceball and Finn left the spaceball just keeps buffing Finn every turn and Finn plinks away at my dudes.

Gear Kylo up as far as possible, plus zeta. My FO team was g7/g8 except for g11 zylo. 6* was the hardest fight, for some reason 7* was easier, like the AI decided to spread the pain around which is a bad idea with zylo.

I think zylo may be critical though for a low gear team. Being able to spam shield regen meant that Finns plinking wasn’t effective.

I focused down bb8, then rey, then finn. You absolutely dont want bb8 to get off a 2nd ID if possible. Rey does a ton of dmg and finn gives tm to those 2. The vetbros dont have any synergy with the 1st 3 and should probably be saved for last also because of their special.

E: by special i meant their on death buff

His zetas are useful if you run him with droids but if you’re just running resistance or raid teams for intel/destiny you don’t need them.

I think he's asking if zylo is worth zetas, which as the frustrating hard counter to my NS comp and how hilariously fun he is to play, yes.

Zylo has taken a big hit in usefulness now that cls can insta-solo p1haat, but he's still useful for ds tb & probably tw. You could say that about a lot of zetas tho. It IS possible that he comes around if we get some new FO dudes this month

I’ll know more once TB day 6hits but my Zfinn resistance squad got through a day 2 fight where the only damage came from the spaceship auto hit. I think bb8 takes a resistance murder squad and just mashes the accelerate button thanks to secret intel boosting potency.

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 might be able to get it - I started powerfarming the veterans immediately and had a decent crystal reserve so I was able to spend 300/day and 700 during double drop events. I already had everything but BB8, and I had gotten my FO so I got him today. I've got 110 shards to go on Chewie, but it's been a "crystals are for farming veterans only" since they dropped and I'll have to drop 20 bucks to keep up the pace.

I'm also top 20 in my arena shard and top 10 in fleets, so means I make back my Cantina spending daily. I don't think this would be possible if you didn't have everything but the veterans ready to roll when they came out, and I could not have gotten the Falcon there (haven't even tried) if it had also been required.

If you already have Han at 7 and only need the 110 on Chewie, you’re more than in the clear. 300/day should average you 10 shards. Spending 700 one more time during double drops tomorrow should give you about 25 shards. So you should finish around a week from Sunday/Monday, and still have a week to spare.

This is because sometimes people pop in and let us know but it gets lost in the bigger chats. If you're having difficulty or can't play, but plan to come back, please post in that channel.

Because that's the design we goons decided upon many many moons ago when our 3rd guild collapsed and we weren't yet able to beat HAAT.

We reorganized into 1 major guild to push progress and 1 minor guild for newer accounts, and we had Cactus' guild that was quasi-goon for overfill and alts.

edit: A lot of current SM members, including myself, started off in QGJ after the reformation.
