So for fleet arena pilots you want level 15 5-dot mods. Do these need to be gold now or is level 15 5-dot enough? Before the mod change all these would automatically be gold.

Oh that's why I stopped gearing up Pheonix, all of their GLs now require raid only mats. Okay, no zeta on Tarkin, though I had no idea that those effected ships.

Anything that increases pilot galaxy power effects ships, because ship stats are largely based off of the ship star multiplier (so 1.5x for 7*) multiplied by your pilot GP. zetas make a big difference because each one is 2k+ GP for the pilot, whereas g12 gear is only like 230 GP per item.

Ineptitude posted:So for fleet arena pilots you want level 15 5-dot mods. Do these need to be gold now or is level 15 5-dot enough? I just did some  on this and switched my sun fac between full gold mods and full grey level 15 5 dot mods.Sun Fac gains 500 power and his ship gains 1200 power from switching to gold, but the stats of the ships are unchanged. So, unless you’re trying to pump GP for TB through the double dip, you don’t need to worry about mod rarity for your pilots (setting aside six dot, of course.)

Asajj is the better str lead zeta, MT is the better arena/twar lead. I rearranged my EP mods to give him 107% potency (so 142% with lead) and I swear it's gotten worse. I've had multiple arena fights where he didn't land a single stun, and I haven't had a full team stun since I switched them up.

Burning_Monk posted:What is the best NS zeta for Sith Raid? Honestly, you need at least two and probably three to do well. For P4 (the classic), you need, in order of priority, A.V. Lead, A.V. Unique, Talzin Unique/Daka Unique (equal-ish importance). You can start with just the Ventress lead and do okay damage and keep adding more as you add each additional zeta. For p3 (the new hotness), you need Talzin Lead and AV unique. Full stop both are mandatory the team just fundamentally doesn’t work without both. You also really really really really want Daka’s unique. You can still do like 4m without it, but it’s gonna be way more difficult and you’ll hate yourself and also with it you can do more like 8-10m or more. P3 takes fewer zetas to reach its maximum potential, but needs more Zetas to get off the ground. Either way though, you need at least A.V. unique for both, so if you’re only gonna do one nightsister zeta right now, it’s an okay option. Or either lead because having a zeta NS Lead (either one) is broadly useful.

While he has fracture up, he counters everything you throw at him (and his basic is one of the strongest basics in the game) plus he is basically immune to debuffs.

Plus, he puts speed up on opponents that can be removed by your own dispells. Once removed, it puts up AB. When Thrawn basics someone with AB, he stuns them. You're gonna spend like a 1/2-1/3 of thrawns play time in fracture, so you want to capitalize on that by giving him high counters. The zeta also allows your special usage while fracture is up to strip TM, depriving your target of even more turns. It's a great zeta, and works because it makes one of the best toons in the game better at what he does best.

And just in case you thought "okay well if he counters everything I will daze him" Thrawn thought of that too. He'll resist your daze. BECAUSE HE IS THRAWN AND HE KNEW YOU'D DO THAT.

Right now, while Traya Lead is everywhere... it kind of makes things worse. Like I said upthread, I’m a huge fan of the Thrawn unique zeta but you’re not crazy for holding off in the current meta specifically.

E&F is good no matter where you run him, as Thrawn is one of those toons that manages to work his way into just about any comp.

Storytime from a newb trying to beat the Thrawn event: OMG, I think I might win! I've killed off all the trash and only Chopper is dead. All I have to do is use Ezra and Hera assist calls on Zeb to chain stuns on Thrawn and I should win....Smash cut to Thrawn immediately killing Zeb:  Fuuuuuuck. Maybe I can still do this though, he is low on health and I still have my top damage dealer, Ezra. With Ezra and Hera assisting each other, this should still be enough damage. Thrawn executes Ezra:  Not like this. Not like this. Well, I still have Hera and she can do some decent damage. Thrawn is at critical health and....Thrawn kills Hera.  gently caress Thrawn. gently caress this event. gently caress this game. I could have beaten this is if he just killed Kanan instead. Now I just have Kanan and his dumpster damage isn't enough to Finish off Thrawn. Kanan will surely be killed next turn. gently caress  Kanan's hit *Crits*. Victory for the heroes! Took me an absurd amount of tries over the course of the week, but I managed to beat the last tier of the Thrawn event at lvl 77. Team was G9 with 1 omega on Ezra's basic. The amount of luck this took was absurd. Pretty sure I could retry this event with my current team another 200 times and not get another win. gently caress Phoenix, I'm an Empire boy now.

Ha, that's awesome, congrats! Especially getting him before level 85. If you've been keeping up with arena at all, you should be able to rule that place. I'll say that after the anger hangover wears off, don't write off Phoenix long term. They have a ton of use in TB and TW. But yeah, I get wanting to never look at their stupid faces again after beating the Thrawn event.

I know I shouldn't buy the big cards, but I bought a LS Card and while everyone else I got was someone I already had at 7*, it gave me a 6* Rose and 97/100 shards of Vet Han. I'd say that was worth it. And there's the last 3 shards to get Vet Han to 7*. Now to start the slog for Vet Chewie. Maybe I'm failing at the last Thrawn because i'm using Sabine instead of Kanaan? EDIT: Nope. Thrawn's side still gets locked into a endless cycle of heals and attacks that I can't do anything about outside of counter attacks. twistedmentat fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Sep 12, 2018 |

Other people have posted good write ups earlier, but it's been long enough for me that I don't remember the strategy anymore.

While bringing Kanaan is probably a good idea, don't 2nd guess yourself too much. 7* thrawn is a horrible RNG slog at the minimum gear levels and more or less requires brute force iteration to overcome.
