Any idea how the ally system works? Does it just show the leader or best character from your ally's roster, or does it mix it up sometimes? Cause all I'm seeing now is Phasma, Phasma, Phasma, Phasma, Sid, Phasma, Phasma, Doku, Phasma...

I believe it detects whoever your last used leader was for each team and sets that as your ally or arena defense team. Which is annoying when you want to tweak your arena defense since you can't do so without having available attacks.

Speaking of dispelling, I've been working on Rex for that role. Is he decent, or is there anyone else recommended instead? Trying to stay as close to F2P on this game as possible, so the new Droid is likely not an option.

So are they just not going to fix GW or what?

I'm sick of wading through cash money whale teams just so I can get some drat credits.

I really hope so; I'm 2 pieces away from a Vader upgrade, and stuck at 45/50 for the GW achievement since the retune.

Man, I was about to declare this a Good Update based on the multi-sim change alone, and then I caught up to the thread...

edit: AND you can sim challenges now too? Why'd they have to gently caress up the mods so badly?

OK help me pad my research. If you don't mind please list the following.
1) arena power
2)gw highest team power you use
3)on a scale of 1 to "Oh gently caress off that was bullshit" how hard is your galactic war

1) 28,941
2) 28,941
3) About a 5; maybe I've been lucky, but GW hasn't seemed all that much more difficult. I have to manual the last 3 nodes now, but that's about it.

Sid really started to fall off in the 60s, and I left him completely behind in the 70s. I have completely stopped using him.

Which dark sider would you recommend spending arena points on, then? I finished up Leia, and my dark side team is lacking, which is why I just started working on him, but I'm open to suggestions.

Speaking of their excellent QA, did they break QGJ's 3rd skill? Several times today I've used it, dispelled a buff from the enemy, and not gotten the team buff from it.

He unlocks at 5*...any chance you can get enough rebels to 5* in time?

Arena tokens: STH, AA, Leia
Cantina: Lando, Luke
Cantina Tokens: HRS
GW Tokens: Biggs

I've currently got Leia, STH and Luke eligible. Leia is 7* lvl 80, Omega'd and has some of my best mods after Rey, so she's been putting in the bulk of the work; STH and Luke are both 5* and in their 50's though.

I can probably get Biggs there in time, but getting the 5th is where I'm going to cutting it close. I've been wanting an excuse to build Lando though, so hopefully with the retuned Cantina costs I can squeeze him in.

Yeah, my Lando is 4*, and I don't remember having put any shards into him as of yet.

And that's good to know about my Leia being able to handle that tier; I may actually manage to pull this off after all.

Man, I didn't realize just how consistent the AI can be in its actions until last night when I was having trouble with my last GW node so had to do a few retreat/restarts.

I was running Barriss, Rey, Lumi, Phasma and QGJ; I forget what all the enemy team had offhand, but I do remember Lando and one of the Geonosians Every single restart, Lumi would miss her first attack against Lando without fail. QGJ would then go after her; if I used his third skill to remove Lando's crit rate buff, Lando would do his AOE and wear Phasma down, then the Geonosian would go next and finish her off. If I didn't remove said buff, then Lando and the Geonosian would both use their regular attacks against Barris instead, who was tanky enough to handle it.

At that point it almost became more of a puzzle game than an RPG, with me experimenting to figure out which input would result in the least-damaging reaction from the enemy team. I know every AI has its limitations, but it just became very apparent with that node.

I know Cad Bane is held in low regard, but given how easy he is to rank up, would he be passable just to round out a Scoundrel team? I've currently got:

Lando - 7* 80
Chewie - 6* 80
STH - 5* 80

with

Boba Fett - 5* 63
IG88 - 4* 58

Needless to say, I can't quite take the final tier of the credit heist. Would I be better off just getting Boba and 88 to 80? I know Boba considered lackluster as well though, and 88 is in line behind Ackbar for my arena shards so is still a little while off.

Ah well, I guess I can hold out for a few more days. I just realized I'll be able to 7* STH after the arena reset tonight, so that'll be a million I need to make up anyhow. Of course, getting him to 7* should get me to the last tier of the credit heist so should pay for itself.

No. People have tried this. It's probably based off your most powerful heroes, but there have been a bunch of discussions and I don't remember exactly what was proven or disproven.

Anecdotal, but I tried that awhile back, tanking my arena team/rating, and I didn't notice any sort of difference

If only they could make GW something other than a hideously unfun hour long daily slog...

I have to say that finally getting Lando/Wiggs up & running has helped the GW slog a LOT for me. With those three, STH, and either Leia or Akbar depending on how DoT-heavy the enemy team is, I can auto up to the last few nodes instead of having to go manual about a third of the way through. And that's with Wedge only being 5*, and Biggs at GS8.

Man, I really wish they'd have had more non-PVP ship content ready for launch. I had a couple decent matches last night but have hit the whale wall today, so it kind of sucks doing a couple challenges and being done with them.

How do you get the shoretrooper? I'm looking at it as chromium pack only. Is it available in any other way or are people just dropping crystals on it?

He was a reward for a tournament awhile back.

Speaking of Shoretrooper though, is he worth working on if I've only got him at 3*? I don't really have any other pressing projects, if that makes a difference.
