Oh poo poo! Looks like raid-only gear shards are now in the raid shop. Might be worth saving up for some of those instead of trying for the new characters. Rey shards remain a high priority, of course

Oh great! Looks like the Mk 10 TaggeCo Holo Lens Salvage is just 3,300 coins for 10.

I need 250 of them, so that's..... 82,500 guild coins in total.

Awesome.

Yeah QGJ is super useful and great in any team. Daka is also great for Arena and will get you far in the dark side missions.

I would drop 5s for now and start farming RG as much as you can if you need a tank. He's awesome from 4*s and beyond. Chewie will fill the gap until then.

Good job QGJ!

IGD is almost done with T6 raid #2. We're much better prepared this time around.

It's a bit odd that the game recommends gear 8 for a T6 raid when you clearly need G9+ to survive more than a few hits. It's such a jump in difficulty compared to T5.

I hear the T7 raid has a lot less HP though, so even though you need 7* toons it's not such a slog.

Lumi is outclassed by both QGJ and STHan. Her basic does too little damage, healing is not really needed at the sharp end of arena (the dmg per turn the top attackers knock out far outstretches any healing you could do). And if you want ability block, Old Ben is literally 5x better.

I run a Phasma,RG,STHan,Rey,QGJ team and it rocks. STH and Phasma give tons of extra attacks and TM, RG keeps everyone alive and 1 of the enemy stunned each turn, Rey dishes out the damage and QGJ does the awesome stuff that makes him awesome.

I usually wake up inside the top 10 and breeze to #1 with this comp. Although I don't think many others are in the same time zone as me so your mileage may vary.

So I guess they stealth updated GW to make it harder again... seriously?!

They keep making low effort changes to GW but it's still a dumb daily grind that is basically a necessity because of the credit rewards.

I get that it should be challenging because the whole point of it is to test the depth of your roster... but it's currently an overlong trial-by-error borefest thanks to the protection mechanic.

They should make it much shorter but keep the challenge high some other way, like only being able to send each toon into battle once or twice to force you to mix up your roster.

CG & EA are a bunch of clueless idiots judging by the number of fuckups this past week. That dev comment is a joke... put a bit of effort into your game guys!

Basically what I'm saying is I like collecting all the Star Wars guys and the team building and squad synergies and stuff, but I don't want to spend hours a day playing your sucky game EA :colbert:

I'm sure this has been posted before but for everyone in IGD this is a good t7 raid guide:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/4nh3pt/tier_7_raid_strategy_for_maximum_damage/

And remember not to attack during the p1 phase as Tagichatn might be able to solo it, and if not I'll throw in my ewoks and finish it off. That way almost everyone will have a fresh roster to attack the rancor with.

Thanks man, you did great!

So it looks like there is only ~100k left to finish p4 now, should be doable with a few good 7* squads.

Any volunteers? :kiddo:

Uh well switch out Lumi for Rey. Healers are very anti-meta in the arena!

You will probably need gear 9+ to get to the sharp end as well.

There's this useful cantina shard farming calculator for peeps trying to figure out if they can farm enough shards for Palpatine in time:

https://jscalc.io/calc/rl77j7l6IpeYtBk6

If you're not going to make it this time around, I would recommend working on Biggs and Wedge, who is very likely to become f2p after August.

They are a very strong meta team thanks to the recent tweaks, and both being rebels they will help you the next time the Palp event rolls around.

Check out this Wedge/Biggs/Lando/Ani/STHan team against some very strong arena teams:

Yeah mod farming is pretty awful. Been spending a refresh a day farming crit dmg mods for a few weeks now with almost nothing to show for it.

Out of 300 odd mods I have not one is a 5* crit dmg primary...

Could we do 10pm pacific start time maybe? This would mean 6am GMT for UK/Euro rather than 4am so we don't get completely screwed out of one of the raids.

Hello, I have added a page to our veritable goon guild spreadsheet (remember that thing?) with a :siren:

Yeah QGJ if you can't make P1 there's no way you will do P2. Hits harder and has 4x the HP, it makes P1 seem like a walk in the park.

So here's a list of IGD members and their P2 droid team gear levels, just to give an idea of how far away we are:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RmAlUHW76s85Xso8QrA_buoMCe40wbXMiX7hzaKY6f0/edit#gid=0

This doesn't cover variations of droid teams and other teams that can do P2 (Clones, Zader, Resistance), so you can probably add 10% or so on top.

There's still a lot of gearing up we all need to do to stand a chance here, even if we take the best from QGJ It's not enough at this point...

Part 2 of the upcoming QoL patch (march probably):

https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/94451/upcoming-quality-of-life-game-improvements-part-2#latest

Highlights are challenges giving better rewards and including all the gear from the tier below, basic attack only auto battle mode and GW giving ship currency.

oops wrong forum posted:

KT is a baller for that spreadsheet. Also those % are of course situational, it has my team rated for 3% but I was able to do 4-4.5% consistently so good micro can bring those numbers up. But yea when you see that only 4 of us have an average gear lvl of X+, there's lots of work to do before we get the balls again to try. And that's not even taking mods into account!

Yeah that's just the way I have the % tiers set up, a rough estimate at best. If you had .2 higher avg. gear it would put you at 5%, which is closer to where you're at. Mods obviously make a huge difference but it's such a PITA to swap them between teams, I don't blame anyone for not doing that.

Not really. I used Aayla/QGJ/Ani/IGD/Ahsoka and did just fine. I think Aayla is by far the best lead if you have some tenacity mods.

Really it's just so you can save your cooldowns in GW. You would use it in say node 8 so you have all your abilities ready to go for the much harder node 9.

So I migrated my 'can we do p2 yet?' spreadsheet over to the main goon guild one, after the HAAT guide page. I added the new people who came from QGJ, but I might have missed some updates to gear levels.

If any IGD goons have updated their p2 squads since I made the sheet can you pop over to the sheet and update your gear levels please? I'm pretty sure not enough of us have though, it's kind of key to have an average gear level over 10 in order to get decent topples in p2 and too few have that still.

KingOfTheTramps: Nov 10, 2009; "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."

Yeah that's how I've been doing it for the last few months and it's made a big difference. Just the two 50 crystal refreshes a day to farm things like cuffs and guns, then save crystals for raid gear (because normal AAT likes to give you 1/5th of something you don't need), the 20s purple gear or the 750 gold. I think I've made much better progress to G11 this way and would recommend everyone do the same.

Mal, could you un-strikethrough the link to the spreadsheet in the OP? We use it a lot for raid planning now so it would be useful to have in the OP for anyone who needs it.

Also echoing Dr Venture, IGD P2 progress has been great recently, added almost 10% in a week even after the lost progress of a few members leaving. I'm currently putting all my effort to getting them all to G11 now my sith arena team is geared up.

For those of us with clones, there's a new king of P2, it's zody lead + elder:

That's 32% in P2 (with whale mods but still)

Zody/Scavenger works well in P2. Can I use them since my droids aren't up to par?

Also, where can I use my Jedi if P1 is Zylo only?

We'll see how we do in p2 without zody teams first, we might need one or 2 to help finish it off. I have the Zader team so I'm hoping to do 15-20% in p2, so plus our improved droids we hopefully don't need any zody. Jedi teams will probably do best in p4, but it'll just be a case of throwing them at any phase we're struggling at.
