I managed to scrape by a victory on 5 Star Yoda because of a combination of Mace Shatterpointing him twice, Yoda killing Old Ben, and Qui Gon's buff cancel being up right after Yoda stole the buffs from Ben.

Yoda is monthly. Palpatine has happened twice, with a three(ish) month gap between the events, so maybe it will happen again in March?

As I'm coming up on level 80, I started looking into zeta abilities. Has anybody tried a nightsister team with Asajj's zeta leader? Looks like it would be pretty great for TM fuckery. Plus, all 5 nightsisters are pretty easy to farm and from 4 different locations. I realize there are a bunch of more important teams to work on for various parts of the game, but it looks like it could be fun to play around with for somebody who's been around awhile.

I have all of them@gear X and only thing they are good for is to kill no synergy low teams in tournaments. Don't bother. Assajj though might have some use, with her passive.

This would probably be good for Rancor or AAT P1/P3, but because the nightsisters are fairly crappy on their own (decent health, but low damage, nothing great for abilities), I just don't see this being enough synergy to do anything.


e: quick tips for SWFA. Don't spend crystals on packs, spend them on credits. You can use credits to buy units from the shop and actually get what you want (and also upgrade units).

Do your quests. There's a very small icon in the top right corner, plus a little bit of text right below that. When you finish all your 'Special' quests, you get to pick a leader. I would recommend Cassian cause he outranges turrets. Dies if they get to close so takes a little practice. With him right now, I'm running light tank, sniper, rebel troopers, x-wing, drop pod, pathfinders, and stun grenade.

On that, Stun grenades are amazing with anyone. If you're ranged like cassian, if they get too close, drop a stun grenade, walk away, keep shooting. If you're melee like Luke or Vader (Luke's actually really, really good if you figure out how to use him), charge in, drop a stun grenade, use your special.

If you get a chance, pick up the ATST (walker). It doesn't kill much, but it wrecks turrets. Requires a lot of resources to deal with, so you can pressure another lane.

If Luke (and probably other lightsaber users) stands still, he'll deflect some blaster bolts. Sometimes he'll even do damage with it, pretty fun. However, he autoattacks if in range of an enemy, and can only deflect if he's not attacking. Kind of hard to use sometimes.

If you aren't playing Cassian, or ******* if you are in game, you are doing it wrong. I'm probably winning 95% of my 1v1 games with him, and doing quite well at 2v2. I just reached 3* Tier 4. Basically, shoot, step back, shoot, etc. Also, unlocked Gigoran Rebel, and at level 2, he is the best unit I've ever seen. You plus it kills an opponent from about 3/4 in a stun grenade...it does single target heavy damage. Short spool up to start dealing damage, but immediately switches targets until it has to move. Has long range, and if you throw a few melee in front, will kill a turret super fast, or an ATST. 681 hp, so survives a bombing run. Range is 8.5, sniper has 11, not quite out of range of enemy turrets.
Current line up: l1 Cassian: l2 Gigoran, l3 light tank, l6: marauders, xwing, grenadiers, pathfinders, l2 stun grenade.

For common units, buy them in the store, up to 75ish per card. Really easy to get l5 and l6 units, which makes the game way easier. USE YOUR CRYSTALS TO BUY CREDITS. Save up to 1k crystals, and get 50k credits. You won't regret it. Card packs suck, but apparently get better (and more expensive) at higher tiers. You still shouldn't buy them you are better off spending credits to buy epics, then turning those in for a unique card if that's what you are after. Card packs are that bad.

Uniques and epics are way more powerful than common units, so you don't need them at level 5-6 for them to be good, but they generally won't do much for you at level 1.

I saw someone on facebook today doing 19 million damage to the AAT raid using Darth Maul.

The idea is to use the turrets dying for his Power of Hatred skill, and then snowball from there.

Meanwhile, I was glad today I almost kept the tank stunlocked using Lando and Wiggs. It's something.

I grabbed Cassian after you were recommending him in guild chat yesterday and yeah, his range is amazing. I can kill enemy turrets and units while safely sitting behind the terrain walls. I'm saving up my credits right now for when good rebel cards show up in the shop.

mute the video right away, but here's a similar example of maul being crazy for the aat raid. It's his massive health gains that are key to doing the silly amount of damage, chained right around half way through p2? i think Maul is up to 1.5million health and the people who've tested it say you can just hit auto and go do something else, come back a like 45 minutes later and he's racked up 15mil+ damage.

You drop them when you have something to tank the turret or the enemy drops an AT-ST. And yes, it's true; Andor is insane. I just upgraded mine and it really doesn't feel fair. Do keep in mind, however, if we ALL make Andor our main it might be a little difficult to do 2v2s :)

I mostly throw them down in front of my Gigoran Rebel. He just needs things to soak up damage while he goes to town. I also like having a couple cheap things to throw on defense in case they have a sniper or rocket trooper. They also do well against the ATST.

Nice Avatar.

Honestly, read the OP and follow it. There are a few ways that level 25 guys are obliterating you. 1) is because they spent a bunch of money and already have 7* heroes. There's nothing you can do about that except play the long game.

Snowtrooper is pretty bad in all but end-game Galactic War. He gives TM to heroes that are actually good like Tie Pilot, Emperor, and Vader. Thalia is pretty poo poo. IG-86 is pretty decent later, but he's probably 1* right now and sucks. Once you unlock Cantina, focus on Lando and you'll start catching up. Also get Stormtrooper Han with your arena credits. You'll start to catch up to those scrubs.

Gearing/spending energy for shards/leveling just to get yourself through LS/DS missions is a big mistake. Just get some ally codes and get carried. Put yours here and Ill add you. I used ~3 Emporer Palpatine friends + challenge reset trick to do all my DS missions with just RG up until level 8.

I ran the same team but with Ackbar instead of Leia. It's doable with either character because I never had to use any of Ackbar's special abilities. Just make sure you have taunt up for the last wave against EP. If you're still having trouble then it's your gear holding you back. I was able to finish both tiers without anyone losing all their protection. So yeah, gear makes that large a difference. I'm sorry :(

e: Oh, and don't forget the extra ability the event gives you. I think it heals and gives the character that activates it counter attack? I didn't have to use it, but it might be the little extra boost you need to finish the event. Best of luck!

Made sure that st han had taunt for ep he ended up being the only casualty because i couldnt kill ep before he got 1 turn off. I know its probably not that useful to say have an arena level rebel squad but my biggs and wedge are not max geared and i had a lvl 81 under geared fives so v:shobon:v

I don't normally brag about my high scores or whatever, but for the bonus event my girlfriendBaze didn't even lose protection. For people having trouble, the key is to keep sthan ready to taunt in the last round, and also consider using Ackbar as lead. When you use the event special ability, someone else will attack.
