Chilichimp posted:Vader is currently the best ship in the game. If you're not using him and maxing him, you have hosed up. Right but wasn't the entire point of this to diversify things up a bit? Now Vader + Biggs is 99% of line ups forever. I've got Vader + Biggs + Swolo as my starting and its kind of a drag to see that mirrored forever.

Given a lack of reliable tank options, that means Biggs and Vader. Following that, strong reinforcement effects are the next big filter, and those all basically went to the pre-revamp meta picks, so... they gained nothing and lost diversity. Good job CG?

oops wrong forum posted:I'd say you did the right thing by not buying the Nest packs unless you are going to drop $200 to 7* her, but if you blew them on generics then you failed even harder. ROI for energy is exponentially better than gambling on the regular packs. Also people please, in these cases where you REALLY want a new toon, just drop the $10 to get the guaranteed 30 shards, you're always going to blow way more crystals getting that star than 10 bucks-worth (10 bucks = 1340 crystals = 1 pack of most likely 5 shards, MAYBE 7, the higher quantities are basically a myth). I totally get F2P but at some point you're just being dumb I just bought Faction Packs, I haven't bought the generic in ages because while at first when I had barely any characters at all or them at low star levels, I kept getting good stuff (I had a 6* Nihilis for ages though this), but as soon as I hit a pack where everything was garbage I stopped. My problem with using the crystals to recharge nodes is many times i've gotten hosed by RNG and spend 1000 crystals on a node and come away with 4 shards. And yea, ships are a real gamble right now. Often one of my ships gets nuked right off the bat, then the AI will bring in another ship so I'll be down one ship. Either they need to delay reinforcements until the 3rd turn or go back to how it was originally.

Fleet is way better now. At the very least battles are way quicker. Sure Biggs and Vader are still OP, but I haven't seen too many complaints about that mystery 3rd starter. For reinforcements, Fett is OP, but past that it's the wild west for what people have ready. My #1 reinforce, unless I need the taunt, is Poe over Fett. Ahsoka if I need the debuff.

I start with Biggs, Vader and TFP, renforcements are Boba, Reaper and FOTP If the enemy drops Boba as their 1st i counter with reaper and dispel his buffs. If they do something else i counter with Boba. I ALWAYS seem to go 2nd with cap ship even though my thrawn is just as good as theirs. Theres a couple of dudes on my shard i always lose against, on of em starts with 2 phoenix and biggs, the other always drops sun fac as his reinforcement. I saw gigantic gains in my fleet performance when i remaxxed the basic attack skills. Virtually every battle now sees an ultimate being used; i cannot remember ever seeing an ultimate be used before the ship rewamp.

TFP is great starting against chimaera because my executrix usually goes before the chimaera, and the chimaera always uses its AOE first, so Ill have fights where its Executrix -> Chimaera (aoe triggers TFP evasion) -> executrix reinforcement, so I get a reinforcement directly after their capital goes for the 1st time, huge advantage

What is Swolo? I run vader/biggs/tfp and if things aren't falling apart by the first reinforcement I bring in Maul to give tfp retaliation - either tfp dodges and speeds up Chimera or tfp retaliates for decent damage. Otherwise I bring in Fett or Poe if I need to clean up something. I ping-pong around 100 with only one fight/day.

I am upset shirtless Kylo Ren isn't a character. Like Marvel Heroes, GoH won't have movie based content for a long time, as Episode 9 isn't out until what, next Xmas? There will be content from Resistance no doubt but I guess we'll be getting some more alts and filling in background characters. Though more Old Republic Characters would be welcome. We got a lot so why not Bastila, Carth, Malak, Canderious, or hell, Revan seems like a no brainer. Even if BF2 wasn't a big hit, Iden is still someone I'd like to see in game.

Unlocked Rey on the first attempt A few observations: -They made us grind 300 shards from a 16 energy node so we would use vet Han for a single fight in the event... -BB8 was in use very little as well but at least he is good elsewhere -Chewies smash was MVP -the last 2 stages are freebies and you cant fail them (?) G10 finn and rey, g9 bb8 and g8 vets. Glad i didnt spend any of the gear i grinded for them

To anyone doubting they can clear BB8 level 7. I just got BB8 with G7 Kylo omega on Unstoppable, G8 Unmasked L not even full level 7 abilities, G7 FOO no omegas, G8 FOST level 4 abilities, G7 Phasma level 74 level 4 abilities. BB8 did not use Illuminated Destiny once on 3 unstunned turns, instead using more secret intel and basics, and the bastard didn't dodge any Kylo stuns. RNG is an amazing thing.

I blew off the vets to grind troopers, so no MaRey Sue for me this time. For ships, I'm running TFP, FOTP, and Biggs, with Vader as the first reinfroce if Biggs is still alive, or Boba if Biggs is dead. The third reinforce slot is taken up by Cassian's u-wing. I think I'm going to go back to Reaper though.

I do FOTP/Vader/Bigg Boi and then Reaper and Poe. Reaper if they beat me to the reinforcement punch and bring out a taunting Boba, otherwise Poe to clean up. Reinforcement 3 and 4 never come out

I do Vader/Biggs/FOTP with Slave 1/Poe/Fives/Scimitar in reserve and I've honestly called every one of those first depending on the scenario I'm in, but Scimitar is the most likely drop as it fucks up enemy boba who seems to be the most common first reinforce.

kingcom posted:So what are the perfect optimal reinforcements then? Start Biggs/Vader +1, usually Silencer, Imp. Tie, or ghost (the pheonix that stealths another ship). Reinforcements are iffy and based on what you're buffing, but the best reinforcement abilities are generally considered to be Boba's, Banshee (lowers CD of reinforce by one, so you can do it twice in a row), Sun Fac (stuns target +1 additional ship). Reaper makes a really good reinforcement (lowers turn meter of enemies, but then you also get a Tie Reaper), Poe gets a BIG damage boost if he's reinforced, Geo Spy puts taunt on the target (good if their biggs doesn't currently have taunt or is dead, so they can't drop another taunter into the mix) and Cassians U-Wing dispels all buffs on a target, ALL targets if fully upgraded can't be evaded/resisted). Of those, Cassian does a double attack when he comes into play, Tie Reaper gets a dispel attack when he comes into play, and Sun Fac can stun a buffed target when he comes into play, so they're all good ships to counter whatever nonsense just got dropped into play from the enemy side if you aren't currently first. Reaper is exceptionally good at this if you're tied or almost tied for speed, since a single kill before the next ability goes off means you're now ahead in speed and thus will get you use your ultimate first in a mirror match (Thrawns, mostly, although Tarkin is pretty good with all his abilities upgraded and the other meta that's going to happen is Bugs + Ackbar). Poe is basically a drop in and kill someone without protection with his unique buff and missiles auto-hit/crit on unprotected targets (he's very, very good against Imp. Tie). Quick tip on ties - if you went first and reinforce while Tie has insight, if you break it it shouldn't mess up turn order because excess TM is lost so the enemy cap ship (already at 100%) is just going to be tied with you again anyway.

So looks like I won't be getting JRey this time around. Vet Chewie sitting at five stars, BB8 is good to go though which is nice. The six star battle was much harder than the seven star for some reason. Unrelated but I'm creeping up on my fifth Zeta and I'm wondering where I should put it. Smart logic says I just finish up EzPz since I've been running a Empire team anyway but I have zzDV so should I Zeta Thrawn's trait? Am I overthinking this?

The six star battle was much harder than the seven star for some reason. BB8 is a great toon and a necessary part of the raid super start triad of CLS/BB8/Thrawn Thrawns unique is a good zeta, especially if you're using him in arena.

I was able to clear BB8 completely, I just had to improve both Kylo Rens and I was able to get through it fine. Which meant I could clear the first JTR node. Without unlocking the Vet nodes though I won't be able to progress.

They don't need more Jedi, they need to make the 19 that are already in the game not so terrible. GK and Ezra are pretty good, JKA and Ahsoka are okay, but the drop off after that is massive. Eeth Koth, Kit Fisto, Ima Gun-Di, Jedi Guardian, etc. Ugh.

Cidrick posted:They don't need more Jedi, they need to make the 19 that are already in the game not so terrible. It’s not quite that dire; yes, more than half the faction is unmitigated garbage, but there are more than 4 good Jedi. GK and Ezra are phenomenal as mentioned. So is Hermit Yoda. Kanan and Old Ben are both fine and have solid niches. Barriss is a character that does serious work for a lot of people, even if I always find it hard to recommend actually framing her or giving her a zeta now. JKA and Ashoka are okay for what they are. QGJ’s zeta is actually still pretty good, though his supporting cast is obviously not compatible with how good it is.

Mace Windu certainly needs to be better. And nice, after struggling through the last few Cantina nodes, I managed to 3* both Vet nodes. So I'll certainly have Han and Chewie ready for when JTR comes back in 6 months.
