that's a pretty good point. I just keep imagining mod challenges as some mystical far off goal i'll never be able to have energy for while they keep adding important characters to cantina.

To elaborate a bit, if your situation were more neutral, e.g. if you only had a rebel team finished, I think the recommendation would be different. But the fact that you've already got a decent foundation for a resistance squad makes me think nabbing that speed mod unlock is a good choice. To compare your situation to mine, I worked on rebels, then empire (because i unlocked 7* EP) and scoundrels (credit heist/smuggling/crit chance mods), but my next choice will be resistance because 5* speed mods seem hugely important to the end game arena meta.

Is it viable to switch Wedge into a Rebel team as early as at 4-stars?

If he's geared up (for survivability) and Biggs is 7*, yes. Probably half of his value lies in turning Biggs into a beast, and he can do that without stars.

3-20m every time a credit heist comes around. It's random, but you mostly wind up getting ~5m each time it comes around.


If I recall correctly, the rewards from credit heist don't get above 3m until you hit tier 3, so working on your scoundrels is probably good advice in terms of cash flow. Lando/STH/Boba/IG-88 + whoever else (per the OP).

Trip report: switching from rebels (wiggs/lando/X) to empire + boba in arena. I've gone from struggling to stay top 50 to 30-25. Both teams are more or less equal in total power, but there are at least a dozen rebel squads that I'm crushing now that gave me trouble before.

Now that I'm pushing top 20 I see there's a whole new strata consisting of empire teams with shoretrooper. Oh well, I'm still happy with the results.

I'm finding TFP is amazing for offsetting the babby Chaze teams I saw in the 40s/30s. I love his 1-2 punch aoe debuff with Boba.

To add to this at last check we have quite a few of us Euros so 2am GMT starts with a 24 hour hold aren't that great for us. The only way we can fit in most of the Americans and Euros in a reasonable window seems to be morning PST, midday/early afternoon EST, evening GMT? I don't know if we have anyone further east that get screwed over though.

I mention this any time somebody asks, "What time should we start raids?" in guild chat. We really need a few new officers in QGJ to help with raids. Their delay and poor timing is demoralizing.

Straw poll: I have STH, Tarkin, AA, and IG-88 at 7*. Who's next from cantina? I'm thinking its a toss-up between Mace, HK47, Leia, Sidious, and Nebit, with some outside consideration to Greedo (for possible bounty hunter comps)

I tried once, but you definitely want him level 80 and G9-10 to get better buffs from him. He just wasn't good enough. I've had a couple ships hit 5-6* lately, so instead of putting credits into Tarkin, they've been going over there. I've just started dropping below 30 again, so I'm thinking I need to make Tarkin a higher priority again. That said, I've generally heard that once your admiral's ship is ~ level 70, you want to focus on getting all your ships to 80, then level your admiral to 80, then ships to 85 (if their ability upgrades are worth it), and all my ships are not 80 yet.

His matches feel really weird because Mace/AA are so defensive and he's pure offense. I win a lot of come from behind matches because of his offense buff and tie swarm.

I've lost enough times now to him by himself that I can highly recommend DM/Scimitar in ships, especially as a reinforcement. When he comes in, puts cloak/offense buffs on everybody except one guy who gets counter, you are hosed if you don't have an immediate buff removal available.

Ive got RG almost to gX and he's a withering proposition, especially on empire teams where EP/Vader come with their own huge health pools. Either of those guys can take a full wiggs combo to the face, stay standing, and then you're stuck with RG's 70k health/prot pool.

Well, y'all can stop worrying about GK Chaze and just focus on Zoba. Just went 1v3 vs the hardest to beat dude on my shard, Zoba vs. GK Chaze.

Are you saying Zoba is the new preferred zeta? I was planning on Zader, but I can easily switch to Zoba since he's currently in my arena squad anyway.

Today was a cool day for me cuz I farmed my first zetas. For anybody that's not there yet, I got 2 on the 1st try, 1 on the 2nd. If that trend continues, then 6-9/week seems like the rate of return.

Sent you an ally invite, will invite to guild as soon as you accept.

Also, what is IGD membership currently? I want to do a postmortem on the QGJ hAAT attempt in an hour or two and talk about shuffling members so that instead of 2 guilds doing T7/T6 raids we can have one doing T7/T6 and one doing T7/T7.

I think if the top 5 contributors from QGJ swapped with the 5 most casual IGD folks, it would be more like T7/T7, T6/T6. Dark refreshment knocks out 30% of hpit for QGJ by himself.

If I'm running Boba and TFP in arena does Boba get the speed mod priority?

I would give it to TFP only because he has the higher speed ceiling. Boba's opener packs more punch, but if giving him more speed means the opponent's TFP/Biggs/whatever goes before your TFP, you could be screwed.
