Getting Poe Dameron up to speed is fun. His Taunt puts the "Exposed" on all enemies, then follow up with any area damage character, no matter how weak, to drop the entire enemy team HP by 20%.
Plus, Poe Dameron was awesome in the film. I would say to go see it if you haven't, but c'mon, if you're reading a thread about this game, you've already seen it at least once.

Also, I'm going F2P as far as possible in this game, so I'll probably never get to use him, but just look at the skills for Kylo Ren. Goddamn, what a beast. What the hell is "Retribution"?

I've had Kylo show up in the "Allies" selection before and he is really, really strong.

Dooku is a complete pain and I have no way to really counter him yet. Is there any solid method? I'd guess Old Ben or Luke would be a good way to shut him down quickly.

To deal with counter-attackers:

1) Stun them. Luke is good for this.
2) If possible, hit them with your tank(s) instead of your squishies to avoid losing team members.
3) DOTs (Talia, etc)
4) Use procs or buffs that don't damage them at the same time. Just some of the top of my head
- Poe's Taunt procs with Expose. Follow up with a big hit hoping for a one-shot kill
- Dooku himself, as well as Old Daka, can stun indirectly if you're lucky
- Phasma's buff doesn't do damage. Again, buff then hit him hard.

It really sucks if you're in Campaign and he's all that's left, forcing you to attack him with everyone so that he scrapes away valuable HP and may even take one of your guys with him :(

Yeah. He just wrecks me in Galactic War, which is a complete pain. Going to farm Luke, I think, to see about a counter. May make a group just to kill him if he shows up, then throw my good group against the rest.

Yah there's a video of the FO pilot one shotting Vader. It's pretty crazy.

Noticed how crazy powerful he is in GW, too. Seems to be have pretty low HP at least.

Looking at future editions to the game, I'm guessing they'll add space combat or vehicle combat, judging by the Hutt in the top right. That'd be interesting. Wonder what the Three Heads thing'll be?

Pimpmust posted:

From facing Fives he's Kinda like a better FO stormtrooper? His basic got a speed debuff and he gets counter, so any attack against him that trigger counter also applies the speed debuff. Guessing he's real good with Phasma and/or more Clones.

Cool, thank you. I think I'll put some effort into him and see how he goes. His counter speed debuff could play really nicely. Also, Sidious is such an incredible character - really digging how versatile and robust he is.

A lot of people say Old Daka because she's darkside and a healer and quite good. I think Fives looks interesting too but you probably need Old Daka.

I got incredibly lucky and got Fives in a Bronze. He is pretty great - tanky, but no taunt. His basic has a slow which applies a lot and his secondary is an assist move. Finally, he has a counterattack which is pretty good. I'd say go for Daka first, but Fives is good so far. I just wish he had an actual taunt.

I think it's the last one you used in a particular area, so you actually have the potential to donate 3 different characters: dark side, light side, cantina. Maybe challenges too?

I wish it'd just let you either pull from their team, or their entire roster. Or, heck. Let the player decide "Five" characters people can pull from. That'd be cool.

About to get Geno Solider to 7 stars. Wondering who to work on next from that section. Thinking either Luke (Currently 5 / 7) or Old Ben. Working on Qui-Gon from shipments, Han (Almost 6 / 7) from Arena and Poggle from Galactic War, too.

Any suggestions or changes recommended? Sid, Lumin and Daka are all 7/7.

He's the least tanky of the taunters, though maybe he improves at gear 9. I've been building him up as a backup if RG gets nerfed.

Guild name: You got Midichlorians in my Jar-Jar.

But he does feed turn meter to everybody when he takes damage, which is pretty great.

I agree, he has what is probably the strongest ability associated with his taunt. However, at gear 9, my royal guard has twice as much health + protection.

The raid is interesting, I found that Dakka was huge in dealing with the two side guards as she was stunning them pretty consistently and rezzing my dps that dropped during the fight. I don't even have her at 7 stars and she was more effective than my higher level / 7 star units.

Found the same. I did so much damage my first attempt because of her. Way less the second.

Losing the daily login reward for the first time since Nov and just not logging in for 36-48 hours will be enough to break my addiction. Though I hope we get our guild gems back for the Rancor raid not being able to finish it is a bad sad.

Losing the Login Reward this late in a month after getting every single one is reeeeally obnoxious. I hope they can fix that for us, too.
