Wait, double cantina drops for 5 days? That includes the cantina credits too?

I was mod farming and buying QGJ with my credits. Is there anyone critical I should get while the double drops are on?

I 6*ed TFP this morning and need 94 more shards. If I get him to 7* I'll probably work on JKA and skip Chirpa since I've not been getting Teebo shards from GW yet.

These days, Chirpa has nothing to do with Teebo and everything to do with Palpatine.


TARDISman posted:

JKA is overall much better at arena than RG (unless you're running Zader/EP lead), but RG is a pretty important part of P3 Chirpatine. He's replaceable, but just really solid (taunts on his own, stuns the powered up droids).

Also provides defense up for everyone and gains TM when other tanks get hit so he consistently gets actions. (Unlike sun Fac, for better and worse)

I think Sun Facs days are over. Too many lightning quick ability block/buff immunities in the top meta.

Well yeah. But that's what we were talking about!

The main problem with Sun Fac for chirpatine is that he doesn't have any way to generate TM passively on his own, so if he doesn't get a taunt off before ST Han dies, you can get into trouble. Which is why RG is so brilliant for covering that gap.

It's okay. Good for Tarkin challenges, but he generally ends up feeling redundant in the current Biggs + All The Target Locks ships metagame.

By the time he's taunting and countering, there shouldn't be any incoming fire from the droids to worry about, and his dispelling of the bosses offense up constantly is a more than worthwhile trade off IMO.

I wish I was a higher level for the Cantina event you people are talking about, I only access up to stage 5

Going by the OP,'s recommendations:
Cantina battles: Lando, Wedge, Tie Fighter Pilot, Jedi Knight Anakin, Royal Guard, Geonosian Soldier, Old Ben, Chief Chirpa

I need to promote TFP two more times, then I'll move onto Geonosian Soldier, since it's more important than Old Ben and Chief Chirpa.

I recommend you pick up Kylo Ren after TFP instead of Geonosian Soldier. He got a buff and is actually very awesome now. He's the node right after TFP.

You got Lando to 7*, right? Make sure you do that first because he's one of the most important characters to have. Oh, and Aayla Secura is on 5-B. She's one of the better Jedi, and you can use her to eventually get Yoda. I feel like GS is kind of dated compared to all the other characters you can pick up now.

If you can afford it, now is the time to drop 20 bucks on the game and throw it into 4 cantina refreshes/day.

Once you get past the first three, there isn't too strict of an order. I should probably remove Old Ben from the list, he doesn't see much use for anything these days, and I still haven't farmed him up. B2, Kylo, and Aayla should all be on the list somewhere. Kylo is the single best hero in Cantina right now, but he needs a zeta to get there, so, not super high priority. Chirpa is crap for 99% of the content in this game, but absolutely essential for P3 HAAT.

Here's how you can tell if the double cantina event has gone live: when you select a node, the number under the character shard will be a 2 instead of 1.

I could use some arena help: https://swgoh.gg/u/karzon/

There's a wall of Zauls throughout the 20s and 30s that I cannot put a squad together to beat. Ones that seem to have some success are:
EP (L) / Boba / TFP / B2 / ST
Boba (L) / IG-88 / TFP / B2 / ST

I've been banging my head against this wall for two weeks now as I've been (slowly) trying to gear my Chaze up. My Zader squads just seem too slow against the Zaul. Anyone have any thoughts for a better combination of characters? My best mods are currently on my arena squad as far as I know.

There are basically two squads that consistently beat Zaul squads:
Zaul Squads
Rex, Chaze, GK, Nil.


I'm sorry I don't have better news for you.

e: While there are squads that can beat lower tier Zaul squads, while you're working on one of the above solutions, the people you are playing against are going to be fine tuning their Zaul squads until those squads don't work anymore. In first place finishes right now, Rex and Maul take up 3/4 of the leaders. Even rank 1-10 finishes show almost 3/4. As far as Rex (L) goes, there are only a couple variations that work:
Rex · GK · Chirrut · Baze · Darth Nihilus
Rex · Kylo Ren · Chirrut · Baze · Darth Nihilus
Rex · Boba Fett · Emperor · GK · Darth Nihilus
Rex · Kylo Ren · Boba Fett · GK · Darth Nihilus
Rex · Kylo Ren · GK · Chirrut · Baze
Rex · Biggs · Wedge · Chirrut · Baze

While working on Chaze is still a good plan moving forwards, I would also be working on Sith. Zaul, Nil, Chaze, +1 is a solid comp.

I'm in a December '15 shard. My top 20 has one Zader (B2, Boba, Zylo, TFP) and one zBoba (Chaze, GK, Zylo). Looking between 21st and 50th, I see:
Vader x8
QGJ x3
Wedge
EP
GK
Boba

Fortunately, getting Rex to G10 is actually really easy. You'll need some mk3 holos, one furnace, one stun cuff, and one syringe. Everything else is pretty simple, like 2 mk2 bactas (guild store) or mk8 holo lens (random white/green poo poo).

I'm currently using Vader (L), Boba, TFP, Phasma and Shore while I work my way up to zetas so I take it that I should work on Kylo and B2 during the 2x cantina drop event? I have Kylo unlocked at least so that should speed it up a bit.

I have Lando at 7* and am working on Wedge right now, but since the Palp event isn't until next month, I can probably finish Wedge after the event no problem.

If you think you'll be able to zeta him anytime soon, I'd go for Kylo. Actually, scratch that, just go for Kylo. He's a boss.

Sounds good. Wedge is almost halfway to 7* and being able to pick him up in the ship store speeds up the grind a lot. I'll stick to Kylo and see where that gets me.

For zetas, priority should probably be Vader > Kylo > Boba?

:effort:

It really depends. I did Boba > Vader, and then probably Nil is next. If I could go back, I'd drop the Vader -- it's nice for raids, but pretty far from essential, Kylo would've been better there. My plan moving forward for zetas is Nil, Maul, Savage, Kylo. Kylo is one of the best zetas, but he just won't work with my comp until I have all the other sith zetas.

Speaking as a Zader owner, while I appreciate his versatility, I kind of wish I'd started with Zaul. I feel a little locked into Zader lead for arena and transitioning to Zaul is going to take that much longer since I invested so heavily in getting Zader's arena team to g11. While I can certainly transition to Zaul now by slowly replacing the sith on Zader's team (EP, Sid) with better candidates (Savage, Nihilus), I think I would have been better off plugging away with EP lead while grooming the Zeta Maul team right away.

I have my 2nd zeta ready now and I feel a lot of pressure to use it on Sid in order to keep my head above water in arena. If I had gone Zaul first, there are several top notch choices that keep you moving toward a 1st rate arena team: Savage, DN, Kylo.
