So contracts are like mini-quests your BH's have to fulfill in a battle to unlock rad passives for your team.

The Game Changers all get their own exclusive info to help drive up viewer/listener count in exchange for the work they do on behalf of EA. A podcast is no different from a YouTube in this regard It only took a couple of hours for the kits to be officially posted anyway: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/167456/bounty-hunter-rework

The bounty hunter reworks looks interesting. Contracts are an unique mechanic and the type of content the game needs more of. A shame it seems the contracts are only from the leader, and some of them seems hard to trigger (e.g. Greedo) like when will you ever use a basic 10 times in 1 battle except for raids. Bobbas looks really powerful, outright deleting the fastest enemy at the start of a battle? Im really eager to try these out, then i remember that this game hides new heroes vehind a paywall, so Bossk won't be useful until like christmas. Also wondering why Cad Bane received no rework, despite being an OT bounty hunter

He's definitely not in the gang of dudes Vader hires to find the Falcon.

Some people actually like using Zam, so they're mad she didn't get a contract, and want to bitch about it.

I mean... Zam and Cad should have been given contracts. It's just that simple. If that's how BH's are supposed to work, then that's how they're supposed to work. Not updating them with contracts is just half-assing this review. That being said, Zam's gonna slot right into the greedo/dengar meta with the ability to pop thermal dets.

The reason they gave on the podcast was basically, "If we had an infinite amount of time to do things, sure, they would have gotten attention, too. However, we don't, so we hope to revisit them in the future." Which is a pretty lovely reason, but I guess they didn't want to add the time to test out the balancing on two additional contracts?

Personally i quite like hard mode farms. You have a limited amount of attempts per day which is easily done, and i dont feel "forced" to spend crystals like i do on cantina nodes. I also dont have to recheck the game every so often to spend more energy that has accumulated Im currently farming Sabine and Veers, after recently finishing Short Trooper. (Reaper only got to 6* and 10 shards by the time ShT got to 7*, sigh) 8 attempts per day will also mean it will be a lot easier to get the hardest ships like falcon and reaper

The Bounty target missions are no joke, barely cleared Easy with some not-so-great BH toons. Which is actually fine, because I'm on an Ewok farming kick so 20 Paploo shards are appreciated!

 I cleared it with these 5 but I had to use some Omegas on Boba and Greedo's payouts to do it. That counter chance into a double tap to heal is pretty amazing. I think they're tuned for having Bossk in the leader slot tanking them, though.

My obsession with all things bounty hunters finally pays off. I've had a pretty solid BH rotation for awhile now but nothing to use them on. I've got everyone 7* except Greedo who I'm just about to finish and most of them are at least G9 with Boba Fett G11. I have to get Bossk 7* or I'll be very annoyed.

For Sabine to be useful in the Sith Raid what gear/ability levels does she need? Higher the better on everything? Zetas? I've also been tossing a jawa+EE team at the raid and getting pretty decent numbers at times if I can hold out for the detonators to go off - what determines the damage from those? Is it worth boosting JawaScav's gear levels? Or JEng (for increased potency on tossing them)?

Zachack posted:For Sabine to be useful in the Sith Raid what gear/ability levels does she need? Higher the better on everything? Zetas? Re: Sabine; the more gear the better because she’s squishy AF; you don’t need her zeta unless you’re running her with a full Phoenix squad though (in which case it owns) As for detonators: don’t invest in them because it won’t work on heroic, but for just moving mods around, thermal set damage is determined by target health (read, not your stats), but stacking pure offense adds Potency to detonator application, and the conversion is such that flat offense (not percentage) secondaries (and an offense triangle) are the absolute best way to do this - way better than Potency secondaries. You still want Potency cross/set bonuses though.

The hardest part of this game is deciding which zetas to train... I am coming up on 80 zeta mats now which is literally 2/3rds of all the zetas i have ever farmed. ( i have 3 zetas trained but one of them was free) I have zFinn, zLuke and zRHan Its about time i use my other zetas. I have all imp troopers at 7* and find them fun to play so i guess zVeers is good for one of them. This would also mean more IPD shards for QGJ. We in general lack players who are able to complete special missions. I find the bh reworks interesting so put a few zetas on those? Not sure how many of the zetas are required. Boba's isn't particularly good (?) but it would probably make him even stronger for my fleet arena (where i am funneling most of my resources and get top5 every day). My BH squad is practically non existant though, gg88 at 7* the rest 3* or even not unlocked. Another option is to go for ezpz and vader and go imperial for arena. I don't really enjoy arena though, pve is a lot more fun, and my zLuke, rhan, thrawn, r2 and gk squad keeps me in top 300 as it is. Im guessing advice tailored to specific players is difficult, particularly taking playstyle preferences into account... Chilichimp posted:I'm doing 4 Farming that many at once is on you though. I doubt someone as progressed as you are still need to farm 4 hard nodes for roster progression. (They also "only" take 2 months to complete starting from 0 shards)
