Cleared t7 with these, no mod swapping needed. Took around 20 attempts which doesn't seem that bad.

LOVES THE KOG


i need some advice, ive been doing old republic farm every day since the nodes have opened up and i am at 23/30 bastila, 13/25 jolee and just 4/25 zalbaar with having opened up t3s cantina node today. so that's like i dont know 1300 shards off the top of my head, and i cant begin farming mission for another 7 levels or so which is gonna be i dont know, a little under two weeks?

today i got 4th in fleet, yesterday i was 6, and ive just squeaked in at number 50 in squad arena the past two days. i might be able to keep hovering around top 5 in fleet, so i have 400~ crystals per day or i guess worst case 300? not top tier spending money but pretty good. i've been considering refreshing hard nodes to try to get the farm done a little faster but the really big bottleneck is probably going to be cantina. if revan is back in january or february i stand no chance i guess, i'm kind of doubting i'll be able to get him even in march or april.

so basically what my consideration right now is, what to do with my cantina energy? before i unlocked t3 i had been farming up my TFP, he's been pretty strong for me in ships and will be part of an empire team i could slap together. i have 5* EP and thrawn and vader and i'm working on tarkin. depending on how fleet arena shipments go i might have vader to 6 relatively soon or not for who knows how long. tarkin is an easy farm from arena. so i've kind of got an idea of empire as my next arena team with tader and tarkin and TFP all a possibility in fleet arena, or at the very least for daily challenge unlocks.

the other consideration for my cantina energy is old ben, and i know GMY isnt a priority unlock necessarily but it's not a HUGE jump from bastila and jolee to just jumping to a jedi team. i already have ezra and kanan at 7* and regardless of whether or not i can finish the kotor farm in time i intend to finish bastila and jolee. then depending on when GMY comes back i am not super far out from a bastila led jedi team with GMY replacing kanan which seems like it could be pretty strong.

basically my thinking is that with having to wait on the palpatine and thrawn events and possibly not even being able to 7* thrawn even when it does come back because of event difficulty i am actually closer to a strong meta bastilla led jedi team than i am switching to empire for arena. if i try to finish old ben or tfp in cantina i stand zero chance at revan next time around, but i'm a little concerned that even if i hard farm the old republic the two cantina farms will stop me. my big concern is that if i go for revan and fall short the t3 and mission farm in the cantina will have been a huge waste when i could have been maxing TFP for an empire team/ships or old ben to go jedi.

tldr i dont know if i have time to get my old republic to 7* before revan comes back next and i need to decide who to farm next in cantina.

My advice is to drat the torpedos and finish your Revan farms.

3x refreshes/day in cantina
3x energy refreshes (it's worth it to pop 1 refresh on each hard node)

You can also farm them from fleet hard nodes, so get those unlocked.

I finally got chewie 7*!
G12 zBossk, g12 Boba, g11 cad and g10 dengar and ig88. Used my best arena mods and kept retrying until bossk wasn't stunned and r2 wasted a turn on smoke screen after dengar was stealthed. Once chewie is down its cake. First attempt I actually killed him I won.

Really the defeat is over RNG

After dozens of failed attempts with G11 zBossk, I took him to G12 and gave him a G12+ piece I've been hoarding and got it in one try. Putting in G10 Cad over G11 IG88 helped too I think.

IG is trash and will die in the opener every time. See if you can sub him out for something sturdier.

I think the two big problems with IG are that he goes down too quickly and his ability is an aoe that triggers a lot of counterattacks, so either he dies instantly or bossk takes another round of pounding.

Meanwhile my g9 greedo just popped dets even after not realizing the tm reducer was useless.

the chewie event is almost 100% bullshit based on RNG. It took me ~40 tries and I got absolutely destroyed the first ~39 tries then when I finally beat it I didnt lose anyone and ended with near full hp/prot for everyone. some stupid poo poo

Finally got it. RNG went my way, plus the first wave focused on Boba so he could revive and use Execute on Chewie.

Really did feel very RNG-dominated compared to my other rounds. Wonder how purposeful that was, i.e. they rewarded players that play more often. Easy to do in a one-off event.

I slapped my most recent Zeta on Sion, and replaced Tarkin with him on my arena team. Its now Palps, Vader, Nihilus, Thrawn and Sion. I need a better straight Empire team though so now I've gotten FOEx at 7* i'm working on the Death Trooper.

With my backup rebel team, i'm working on replacing Biggs and Wedge with Baze and Chirrut. Though I want to level Jyn as well. Still don't know what to do long term with my Jedi, I guess I'll keep improving GK, GMY and now that I got Hermit Yoda i can put effort into him.

thanks to CLS madness right now I'm back in the top ten for the first time since GK became accessible to most people (i was in a poo poo guild at the time, took a while to catch up and I just wasn't in to Sith Trio).

In case anyone missed out on any of the latest puzzle fun from CG, the latest puzzle from SB_Crumb confirmed that the original trilogy Millenium Falcon is coming, and strongly hints that you will need 5 scoundrel ships to unlock it.

That's Hound's Tooth, Xanadu Blood, Lando's MF, IG-2000, and Slave-I.

I completely forgot IG2K was farmable recently, so I just started farming it yesterday :sweatdrop:

I'd say finish Phoenix so you can get 7* thrawn, since you are so close to it already. After that get 5 jedi to 7* and geared enough to get GMY since he is the staple of any jedi team

Edit: gearing kanan and especially Ezra up will help with the thrawn fight and give you a decent start on a jedi team to use with revan/bastila/jolee for getting GMY
