That is brutal. If you can use a B team to focus down Kanaan (to stop counters) you may have a shot. But with that level differential you may just want to cut your losses for the day.

I haven't finished GW in 2 months, on some boards I can't even get past the first 6 battles or so - I run into really high geared teams that easily beat me.

a trick I used before I could sim GW was once you get a decent second/third team for it use all your decent teams at least once on early nodes, so they all have turn meter loaded up without much damage, and if its easy enough, dont even use cooldowns.

HK-47 still needs an Old Republic tag, Darth Revan is likely; beyond that, there's still Carth Onasi and Juhani for 1 PCs, Darth Malak and Calo Nord are the most prominent 1 antagonists (possibly Darth Bandon and Chuundar as well, but eh, characters people care about?). If they go in further on 2, there's Atton Rand, Bao-Dur, Mical, Mira, Hanharr, Brianna, G0-T0, and Meetra Surik.

I have only ever failed a single GW. The one i failed was before i knew that you could quit a battle you would lose and have all your dudes back to what they were before. Sure, i started playing them before they changed how they work and added sims but surely they didn't change that much? There are 3 fundamental mechanics to GW: Your heroes keep their protection and health from fight to fight You can restart a fight and all your heroes are back to the prot/health they had before attempting that fight The RNG is the same in every fight if all the settings are the same (aka try to hit a different enemy or use a different skill to get different results and hope for crits. Keep restarting until you get a good row of crits) The key to success, for me, was basically: Use heroes with heals or leeching or heroes that would increase max protection Quit the fight if you ever lost a hero Keep attempting the fights and use skills in a different order and/or on different targets to get a different RNG I would only use a single team for every GW (With the exception of doing the first battle with a zFinn team to build up their TM but frankly this was a waste of time as i never ever needed them later on) 5* Darth Nihilus (leader) - G9 (converting protection into 150% more health, this had the added benefit of "resetting" their prot/health between fights but most importantly giving a TON of leech to the sith dudes) 7* Palpie (before his rework) - G10 (incredibly good for GW) 6* Count Dooku - G9 (counterattacks with stuns and getting his lost health back) 7* Chirrut - G9 (heals and clense) 4* Baze - G9 (autotanker, dispeller) Mods were a speed arrow on each dude and some 1 or 2 dot mods. This was before the new mod store so my mods were complete crap at this time. This team saw me through enemy lineups as high as in the 100k GP range (with a ~50k GP team). The toughest lineup i faced was a fully G12 zetaed darkside/sith team with zMaul leader (zMaul, Zavage, Dooku, Vader, Palpie iirc) Ineptitude fucked around with this message at 20:08 on Nov 16, 2018 |

Atton could be cool. IIRC he had an ability that made him come back to life when downed as long as he wasn't the last party member. Could be a cool take on NS Zombie if she were an attacker or something. And yes, as Ineptitude points out, the key to GW is treating it like a puzzle and abusing the retreat mechanic. First three nodes should be use to spool up the TM of a couple dudes and then you keep trying stuff later. It won't necessarily help you if you get a horrible mismatch, but it's a good foundation.

I don't know what GW is like these days because I qualified for simming when the option launched but depending on when you played and your level there were definitely periods where beating GW was extremely difficult. Like 11 and 12 nodes were full g12 arena teams with mods or some whacky poo poo and usually your A team would take a beating getting past 6 and 9. I built a zFinn team specifically for GW because that was one of the few (possibly only) guarantee-win teams. Then they rebalanced to 85 g11 no mods or something and it became an auto cakewalk with Wiggs, and then sim was allowed and I never looked back.

For GW you want to use the first few nodes to preload TM on your frontline teams, then abuse the retreat option as previously mentioned. 3, 6, 9, 11, 12 are going to be the bastard nodes. Avoid using specials if possible to have them immediately available for the hard fights. Teams that replenish protection or trigger infinite TM loops are generally ringers. There are definite plateaus in difficulty but if you're playing arena and TW then you should get over them eventually. Then you can sim GW and never look back.

Could be a cool take on NS Zombie if she were an attacker or something. His defense also scaled up the lower on health he got. I think the Lost Jedi from KotOR2 (Atton, Mira, Bao-Dur, Handmaiden and Disciple) would be a good fit for a bounty contract-like mechanic that unlocks their Jedi ability, that could be cool.

Realtalk: Jolee needs a zeta and a lot of gear to be effective and is much better under Revan than Bastila. Absolutely work on him, but if you aren’t in a rush, focus on his dark side hard node instead of his fleet node, because it drops Carbantis. I would refresh the dark side node before I farm Jolee in fleet. In the meantime if you just unlock Hermit Yoda at 5* and get him to g8 or so and give him mods, he will do work with that Bastila squad.

I use zBast, zGMY, zEzra, zHMY and GK. With GK i can easily keep top 200 overnight and occasionally top 100. With OB i kept dropping to 500, so definitely worth to use GK on my shard at least. I used both GK and OB before i unlocked HMY but a 5* G10 zHMY was much better than using 2 tanks. I have not used Jolee.

Revan is sooooooo far down the line he might as well not be in the game. I have no idea when I'll get Mission and Zalbaar geared up enough to take on his mission. Its really too bad most of the Jedi in the game aren't good. You'd think Mace Windu would be a tanky motherfucker.

I've finally 7*d Death Troop. What's my squad? Veers, Starck, Death, Shore, and...? No Ranged. Thrawn? Magma? What zetas? Also gearing names Sith. Have Palp, Vader Sion, and Nihilus. Who is my fifth? I've got Dooku, Sidius, Maul, Oppress. What zetas? Can't farm anyone new because my farming rotation is full for Revan and Chewie squads. :/ These questions are mostly for best squads that don't use the same characters, so I can throw up more power teams in Territory stuff.

You want Snow for troopers. He shits out damage under Veers and doesn’t have a zeta. For Sith you’re best off running Thrawn or maybe Fallen Bastilla if you have her. The other named sith not named Traya aren’t really worth it over Thrawn. Sithtrooper is a good tank you might want as well. SgtMongoose fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Nov 23, 2018 |
