You can e-mail them and request that your ios and google play accounts be linked. This is how people were getting the googleplay card bonus on IOS. that should recover your IOS account to google and you cna proceed from there.

CaptainPsyko posted:Phoenix are actually quite decent on defense! They’re bad in *arena* on defense, but that reputation actually tends to lead to them getting hilariously underestimated. We’ve found them to be pretty strong overall. Best part is that when they do hold. They tend to do so with nearly full HP/Prot, which is handy. This is all correct.

The man called M posted:And how exactly can you start fresh in this game? In your case, you're switching platforms so just keep playing on your new account. New player shards are created all the time so you'll be put on a shard with new players. Like was said above, you can get stuff transferred if you prefer, but it's a lot easier aiming for the top of a new arena shard as a new player (with all the benefit of the knowledge in the OP and on Discord) so you can bank more crystals than it is clawing your way back over people who have months of play over you.

As I scrape for the credits to star and level my slowly forming Phoenix team, tell me: what gear level can I stop at and still use them effectively? What are they good for? What are my ideal mods? For the record, I'm farming up Sabine instead of Ezra because I have too much to farm from Cantina battles at the moment.

I think most people stop around g8-g10 depending on how frustrated you get with Thrawn event. It's notoriously difficult. G8 is theoretically doable if you have decent arena mods, but be prepared to log a shitload of attempts.

What are my ideal mods? For the record, I'm farming up Sabine instead of Ezra because I have too much to farm from Cantina battles at the moment. They’re great for TB’s if a bit slow (but more gear solves that substantially, as do Zetas eventually someday), and required for day 5. They’re a really good TW team for either defense or offense. (Probably better on d tbqh, especially once you’ve geared them up). They can put up a few million in HAAT aid you don’t have other options and really gear them up, but that’s not really the reason to do it. They can auto galactic war. I’ve seen folks running geared and Zeta’d Phoenix taking first every day in arena, but they do tend to fall further. I expect a nonzero amount of this is that, while anything is beatable by anyone else in that top 20 Tier, people see LOLPHOENIX and think it’s easier and so targeting happens. Or maybe they just want some variety to fight. (Its why I target the Nightsisters guy on my shard) Tl;dr Phoenix range from useful to good in literally every part of the game right now. Their reputation far outstrips their shortcomings. The main real knock on them is that they’re gear hogs, they don’t play well with others (most individual Phoenix toons not named Ezra are yet to find a use outside of Phoenix. But somehow this criticism doesn’t stick to Poe or Deathtrooper or Old Daka or or or or or or), and that there are better squads for the absolute top end of arena. As to what’s enough gear? G8 all around with good mods and a lot of RNG will get you Thrawn, and 4-6-5/6 in the TB mission with an airstrike. I run G8 Hera/Zeb with G11 Kanan/Ezra/Chopper (Chopper was much easier to gear than the rest) and pretty consistently go 6/6 and often use them as a “Rebels” squad for other days in TB as well, freeing up guys like Wiggs and Chaze for Platoons. The reality is that you’ll use them all over, so a sure much gear as you can afford to give them is good.

Gear 8 is fine for most, you can take Ezra all the way go G12 if you want, he's real real good. Few more gear level on Kanaan wouldn't go amiss either.

I don't know why GW got super easy for everyone else, but only a tiny amount of the time am I able to get to the last node. Most of the time I get about 60% of the way through, and end up facing a team that just wrecks my poo poo. I think because it adjusted for level not power level, and I have really underleveled characters for being at 85.

Meantime, a strong zFinn squad, zVeers troopers, zJyn R1 squad will do work for you in there.

I sometime run into Chaze on node 6 and it screws up my whole proression. Thanks for the info on Phoenix. Now what mods are good? I'm thinking I get the impression that I should focus protection and healthy stuff to play on their survivability. Finally unlocked Chaze at 3 and 4 stars... slowly buying up shards still, waiting for my a zFinn to help me power through the last hard stages so I can hard farm Baze. I want to star emphasizing ships as was recommended earlier. What are my top Dark Side ships to farm for the eventual Zeta challenge? Goals now are: Slave 1, Tie Advances, Tie, FO Tie, then... The Geo ships are easy to get. Maul is cool so maybe his boat? Now that Chopper is done, I'm going to move on to FO Officer so I can some day get BB8. Then I guess Fives or something. Note: I love the Nightsisters and Ewoks on my shard because they break up the monotony, as many of you have shared. I aspire to be one of them some day.

As much speed as possible for secondaries on all five. Or just do what this place says: http://apps.crouchingrancor.com/Mods/Advisor  Slave 1, Scimitar, FOTF, ITF, TIE Adv, and maybe Sun Fac.

My GW experience doesn't really reflect the info on this last page. Phoenix Squad needs to be babysat as soon as you meet sith or wiggs squads. They also struggle with chaze. It feels like i get 4-6 wiggs squads every GW and it is driving me crazy. Yesterday i got a wiggs/chaze combo on node 6 which took my entire PS to get wedge down, then first order to get biggs down. In the same GW i met a zeta (?) biggs on nod 11 who single handedly killed 2 of my teams; every time i attacked him he got a full turn meter and oneshot one of my guys. Today i met G12 chaze on node 12 which i think is the single hardest gw fight i have ever had. All the other teams i meet are absolute cakewalks though, just a random selection of heroes at whatever power the GW node dictates, without any particular synergy. It is a shame "synergy" is not a measurement so that the number of wiggs squads would be reduced.

Stormtrooper Han (preloaded TM) counters chaze. If you've having trouble with Chazes, this is the best counter advice you're gonna get outside of "gitgud and also CLS".

I'm 44 shards away from maxing VetChewie, which would give me the toons required for jRey. Can I beat the challenge with g10 zFinn (L), g10 Rey, g9 BB-8, and g8 SmugBros? That seems a little squishy but there's just too goddamn many stun guns needed.

No one suggested it was an auto-affair, but they make it beatable, which is the only goal pre-85. It becomes a trivial auto-task once you've got the roster for it at 85, which, depending on your priorities while leveling, might take a few month. Any decently synergized G12 team will absolutely destroy level 85 GW. I use it to test out comps I'd overwise never used. I did 11/12 nodes with no-Zeta G11 veers, g7 death trooper, g8 level 72 krennic,. g10 shore, and g7 snow. Chilichimp fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Dec 18, 2017 |

Invest in Chewie and ignore Han; the hardest stage (5) is Finn/Rey/Chewie. (Mods were decent but not amazing. Had Finn at around 180 speed, Rey around 220)

Im assuming the new GW is just a certain power level at each node and largely random, and occasionally there are some outliers like the zylo i met, and also relatively hard nodes due to composition and synergies Curious why i get so many wiggs squads though, or why there is a sid or bobba fett on virtually every single node. Todays GW was full auto-able with my phoenix squad...
