Next Zeta is going to go into Veers and the one after that into Starck, I think. Once Matt is done being farmed, I'll do another week of mod farming and then on to Old Han and Chewie so I can get JTR at some point. P1 - CLS all by his lonesome, strat trying to withdraw around 5 turns left on Grievous P2 - zFinn, Rebels, Zader, Zody + Leia/scav P3 - JTR/BB8/Thrawn/CLS/R2, Akbar/CLS/Thrawn/BB8/zAV P4 - same as P2, but your P3 team full cleared P3 and now they're just beating this poo poo out of P4 also.

Warmachine posted:You're saying that like Jyn shows up enough in the guild shop to actually put a dent in my stock pile. Now, if there was a way to convert said currency into EVENT currency, there might be a problem. They're also planning on never adding characters to GW, Arena, or Cantina shops - so you may need those currencies for characters coming out (willing to bet that Talzin and Wicket and Sion will all be guild shop when they drop).

I tend to post a lot of useful stuff in Discord, and every now and then realize I should share. As always, get your arena teams sorted first, but aside from that, here are the recommended, top 3 comps to work towards for Sith Raid and the game in general: 1) Nightsisters (pref zzAV, zTalzin, Daka, Aco, Talia -- sub Initiate for Talzin) 2) JTR (pref JTR - zL, zR2, BB8, SRey, RTrooper -- additional zetas on R2, BB8 and JTR are helpful but not necessary) 3) Chexmix -- zCLS (L), zHan, Chirrut, DT, Pao/JKA Here is what we will need for Heroic sith raid: P1: JTR P2: Phoenix + Ewoks + Wampa P3: Chexmix P4: Nightsisters, then just lots of gas recommended Wampa comp seems to be OB (L), Wampa, Sabine, Thrawn, GK. Can sub Rex (L) for OB. I think with either of these, you mostly ignore the side guys (until they get countered to death) as they are going to generate TM for your comp. Sabine applies lots of armor shred, GK adds survivability, counters, and a big assist call. Thrawn adds TM e: nvm...definitely run Pao or JKA in this comp. I didn't understand offense up properly. Han gains stats from each person, so offense up on everyone else increase's Han's offense through the whole stand alone. Here's why you don't want an under-geared Pao for this phase. First up, offense up isn't doing as much as you might think. In this scenario, you are getting 400% offense from your allies, and an additional 50% from offense up. This makes for 450% offense up. If you were to do 100 dmg, you're now doing 550 instead of 500. That's still a good chunk of damage, but that leads into number 2: You only get to double shot once with it. I've got the timings perfect for this comp, which means that Han does his cc/cd up, then Pao does off up, then Han has to stand alone. This uses a whole turn of buffs, so Han now only has 1 turn left with offense up, and it's immediately his turn again. So he gets two shots off with offense up, and then all his buffs (except tenacity up) expire. So, instead of doing 250k dmg for both shots, he's maybe doing 225k.

Do we know if Bossk will require 7* Bounty Hunters only? My BH squad is in good shape except I don't have a 5th (Greedo) at 7* as I usually mixed in a scoundrel. I'm now panic rushing trying to get Greedo shards but he's only available in the store and Arena and I'm not sure I'll get him to 7* by the end of this month at this rate (currently 5*).

I'd be surprised if we need 7* for Bossk. That level of characters has been required for protagonists or frankly iconic characters: Grand Master Yoda Emperor Palpatine R2-D2 Grand Admiral Thrawn Commander Luke Skywalker Jedi Training Rey Bossk is a character who has like ten seconds of screentime and whose only line is "hisssssssss" He'll be a Marquee character like most of the others. The last marquees we had were Holdo and Rose, and Sith Marauder before them. I'd love to see Bounty Hunter Leia. First lightside "bounty hunter" in the game.

Yeah the only real options for legendaries that I see are: New Chewie - because the others have been in Marquee hell Jabba the Hutt (Either of those could require scoundrels or BH) And then you’re into either weird not really combatants like Padme or C3P0, or fanwank bullshit like dark side hooded anakin until we have more actual new Star Wars content to work with. What I’m saying is, don’t expect many more legendary characters. Do expect legendary ships to start showing up. We’re due. Red 5 or an OT Falcon Seen most likely.

In terms of the Legendary events, maybe Jango Fett Pre-Suit Darth Vader General Hux with his ship Snoke General Leia Admiral Raddus with ship - this is a close call Saw Guerrera - close call Can't think of any others off-hand.

I agree with the bolds. Luke's gonna get Heroes Journey poo poo for every iteration of him, and I think eventually they'll do the same for Anakin. Maybe we'll get General Skywalker Heroes Journey and then Darth Vader Unmasked eventually. There will be another Rey heroes Journey too. I don't think anyone else will get one but those three characters. You'd need to release Queen Amidala before you could have a heroes Journey for Senator Amidala. Ditto for Revan going to dark or light. Revan is coming though, guaranteed. Just a question of when at this point, but I doubt he'll ever be a heroes journey toon. MichiganCubbie posted:
I agree with the bolds. Jango is likely, although Aura Singh is just as likely to be the Legendary since she's the BH extraordinaire in Clone Wars. Snoke is gonna be a Legendary event that requires Resistance to unlock. We're not getting Raddus. Hux is gonna be an eventual marquee. He's just not that important, certainly not more important than Kylo or even Holdo who are both Marquee toons. I don't think we're getting a General Leia. Saw is, if anything, a scoundrel marquee toon that I doubt is ever released (but that would own a lot), but I think in general we're not getting any new Rogue 1 toons. edit: Also, if you guys think that BDT's scoundrel isn't coming with the BH rework, you're ~crazy~.

I was thinking about the old line of thinking that you should try to get Wedge as soon as possible so you have Wiggs but now I'm thinking it's almost like you don't need Wedge anymore, at least not early on? Here are Wedge's essential uses: Fleet challenges for AA's ship and for Chimaera event 4th or 5th string combat mission leader in LS TB LS TB Fleet stuff Rancor and HAAT DPSer but he's not essential for that Reinforcement ship in fleet (but you can do without) Alternate alternate alternate team leader for a couple phases in Sith Raid For about 10-20ish levels, he can lead the old standard Wiggs arena team (Wiggs+Lando+Boba+STHan) He's good to get eventually, but I feel like there are a lot more characters you wish you had at level 85 when you're trying to work on raid teams, squad arena, and fleet arena? What you don't need Wedge for: EP event GMYoda event Thrawn (character) event RJT event Arena (just use Phoenix until something better is available) Fleet Arena (plenty of better pilots) Raiding (he fits in some places but there are plenty of good substitutes) You may feel like you're falling a bit behind by skipping Wedge early on but you're really getting ahead in the long run, IMO. I think someone is better off putting those resources into Phoenix due to how many uses they have (and it's not just for Thrawn, anymore), and into working on Resistance and dark side characters. tadashi fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Apr 12, 2018 |

I still see them on my shard around ranks 150-200, and with CLS, R2, and Han, they can still pack a punch. I also just saw one with Hermit Yoda instead of Han, which was weird. Like, if you spent the time on Hermit Yoda, why haven't you focused on better than Wiggs, too? Bad choices. But they're also pretty easy to manage, so I tend to target them when I see them.

Someone can put a better description than I can, but until then, you want to use Hera, Chopper, Ezra, Kanan, and Zeb (Sabine isn't good enough for this event). And you want to have Ezra at least to gear 9. Move your arena team mods to Phoenix for now. Beyond that, it's been too long since I've done it and I can't remember which order to attack everyone in, hopefully someone else can.

Those gear levels are very low (at least depending on your mods) The Thrawn event is much harder than all the other legendary events and you should have G9 on at least a few characters. I did it with G10 Hera and Ezra (almost G11 on Ezra), G9 on Zeb, Kanan and Chopper, with my at the time best mods (which werent very good) and it took me 60 or so attempts? I got absolutely steamrolled for every single attempt except the successful one which merely felt "balanced" instead of "welp that was easy" as was the case with all the other legendary events. Give all assists to Zeb so he can control the fight. Use him to spread debuffs on the enemy line. His stun is spectacular for this event. Kill the stormtooper first, then the death troopers, then the captains, save Thrawn for last. You can't really afford to lose any dudes so make sure that you get backup plan up if you taunt with either of your taunters. Restart if Ezra or Zeb eats the first fracture. The most lucky outcome is probably to taunt with chopper to get him fractured, then taunt with kanan and backup plan him. Many of the guides i read said to dispell the stormtrooper taunt, then start working on the death troopers. I honestly found it best to simply kill off the stormtrooper first, as many attempts led to the stormtrooper taunting again before both DTs were dead (I think the captains make him taunt and/or refresh his cooldowns?).

I did it with full G8 and I swapped my arena mods onto phoenix until I beat it. It took a few hours of trying to set-up a good transition into the final stage. The idea is to enter the phase, put back-up plan on Kanaan and let him die and come back. Meanwhile you want to use ezra or chooper to dispell the stormtrooper taunt so you can use ezra or chopper to remove the buff from Deathtrooper 1. Garazeb's special will stagger to remove the buff from Deathtrooper 2. Once the buffs are off the deathtroopers things get considerably easier for you, so just start killing motherfuckers trying not to lose too much in the process,. Thrawn is your last target.

The TOR mmo is mostly untouched as far as marquee characters. There’s still a ton of EU characters, but those may be written off entirely. I think it’d be cool to see a BH themed raid and a new Jedi Temple TB to put Clones, Republic, Seperatist, Jedi and Sith to use. Thrawn event is hard as poo poo, just remember: taunt, remove trooper taunt, remove DT buffs, kill thrawn last, and restart if you lose zeb or ezra. Maybe consider restarting if you lose Hera very early, though you shouldn’t if you’re taunting constantly.

Its really fustraiting how i'm stuck at the same node for the last 3 Thrawn events. Even though I can clear the lower stages with no problem, as soon as I get to Thrawn, the Death Troopers take out most of the team. If i'm lucky Zeb, Kanaan or Ezra are still alive, but they then get one attack in and then die. I have never figured out why the enemies in this game get so many attacks.

My Phoenix team is basically never in danger of dying unless they've been inflicted with Heal Block due to all the passive healing and protection gain. For the most part I start the final wave by dispelling the Taunt, trying to stun Thrawn with Zeb's Daze basic, and then focusing down the Death Troopers first.

I auto stage 1/2, use nothing but basics on stage 3 start P4 by doing the following: dispell Stormtrooper taunt stagger deathtrooper 1 stagger/dispell deathtrooper 2 taunt with kanaan put back-up plan on kanaan. These should be done in no particular order, but everyone should be alive by the time you're done or you gonna fail, prolly. Once this is done, kill the deathtroopers, kill the other troopers, then kill Thrawn.

Getting past 7* Thrawn at G7/G8 Phoenix is an exercise in restarting the thing a few hundred times to get the right RNG. People have done it, but the stars have to align. Doesn't cost you anything but time to try again and you have another 5 days or so to gear further if you want

They’re great at and required for LSTB, solid in TW, amazing in the Sith raid (well, mostly Sabine), have two of the best ships in the game (yeah, ghost/phantom don’t really fit the Thrawn/target lock meta, but TW means you’re running 2-4 fleets and LSTB theyre great, and we’re getting a ship PVE table soon where they maybwell shine...) Basically, Phoenix are really drat good at everything you do in this game that isn’t arena, and blowing them off seems kind of silly to me at this point.
