My Arena and GW team is : Chewie, IG-86, RG, JC, and Talia.

I'm building up QGJ and almost unlocked HK-47 because I'll eventually build a droid team.

Before I came to the thread, I had no idea how to grow these guys and just built them sort of at random.

My secret shame character is ig100 as well. I think I'm going to stop leveling him. I wanted a droid team, and only yesterday realized how much worse he is than Royal Guard as a tank.

Also, dies it matter which slot you put the keader in?

Why does Chewie start to suck? Is it the low DPS? I'm only level 54 and I've replaced him with RG on Arena and GW teams.

I thought about getting the droid bundle, but I already have HK-47 (I got him by mistake instead of Sidious) and IG-86, both at four stars. I've almost unlocked IG-88. If I buy that bundle and already have two of the three characters, how many shards do I get? I tried google, but the brown sea has conflicting info.

I found this on Reddit:

If you already have the character a bundle unlock give you:

1*: 7 shards
2*: 15 shards
3*: 25 shards
4*: 32 shards

Doesn't look like it's worth it even though I like droids. Beep boop. :roboluv:

Apparently gw fills out teams based on your best 5s power level, so if youre building up 20 different heroes its gonna be easier because you wont outpace your backup teams and your power level wont be at its theoretical best based on your level.

If you have 5 rly good heroes and a bunch of neglected stuff gw sucks rear end. You have to stop levelling your best 5 for a bit and let your team catch up.

This is good advice; thank you. Though Galactic Chore has gotten far easier with Luminara, even at 3 stars and I boosted her to 4 stars this morning.

I'm liking my HK/86/88/Pogsworth/RG arena team right now. They punch above their weight. Just need to get RG and Pogsworth to Lvl 7 gear and I'll hopefully consistently be above 1000 ranking so I can get 400 shekels a day.

For the Galactic Chore, can someone point out who to replace in this team: Lumi/QGJ/JC/86/RG? Was thinking about replacing 86 w/ some Jedi, but don't know if that makes sense.

fake edit: I'm level 62 if that makes a difference.

Yeah I love that little freak. My only issue is that him and Poggle get the droids so juiced up that the other team usually dies before the detonators get a chance to go off. It's a bit weird to make them trigger after 1 turn, especially on slow guys like chewie. I'd like to change them to trigger on the coming turn but maybe that's OP.

Are you running HK (L), 86, 88, Poggle, Engineer for your Arena team?

That would be awesome. I like when franchises don't take themselves too seriously. That never would have happened with Lucas at the helm ("there was no father :350:), but maybe someone at Disney has a sense of humor.

I'm watching Clone Wars while playing Elite on my other monitor, so I usually just watch JJB episodes. The one where he annoys the Trade Federation types at the state dinner wasn't bad. JJB is still pretty painful though.

Yeah, I noticed that too. The scene where Ventress force chokes some clone trooper, whom you see struggling to breathe, toys with the guy and then force pulls him on to her lightsaber while giving him a kiss as he's dying made me think, "we're well out of PG territory here."

3)on a scale of 1 to "Oh gently caress off that was bullshit" how hard is your galactic war

Just got Lando to 7 stars any suggestions on who to farm from cantina next?

1) 21,720 / Rank 613 / HK(L),86,88,Poggle,Engi
2) Same as above, though I normally run the following 20,363 power team: Lumi(L),QGJ,Rey,Phasma,RG because heals.
3) About a 5. I auto play it until about the mid point and then have to pay attention. I sometimes get bogged down on the last or second to last fight depending and I bring out the droid team for those. I've missed out on finishing GW once in the past couple of months.

I've gotten close to a handful of five pip mods in the mod challenge this weekend to buff up Rey and my droid Arena team.

The one thing in this game that annoys me the most is the credit cost to get from ~lvl 65 to lvl 80. The credits to promote are high, but not silly, in my opinion, because promoting give characters a lot more power than leveling.

I hope it's Jar Jar. And he's broken as hell.

I hope Jar Jar is in with anemic damage and useless specials (randomly give a buff or debuff to a character on either team) but like 1 out of 100 times he just one-shots the whole other team and wins the match. :downsgun:

Like others, I think I play this because Star Wars, but it's easier for me to get into a phone game about SW than some random whatever. But I've been satisfied with some little crystal purchases here and there. I agree, they don't have a lot of value. My view is that a f2p phone game should be manageable free, and kick rear end with a $30-$40 investment. Super-whales in this game who put down a car payment's worth every month seem a bit excessive.

That said, when I visit my dad in the hospital, and he's in and out of consciousness, this game can hold my attention for a couple of hours, but I can easily jump up if I need to.

Also, I'm continuing to watch Clone Wars while playing E:D on the other monitor and the episodes about the rear end in a top hat Jedi general who gives horrible orders brought back memories from deployment. They did a good job with those episodes.

Haha yes I just swapped out Poggle for Chief Nebit Jawa Legend and it's beautiful. Seriously my droid team looks much better without grandpa flying lizard rat and his stick of doom.

Nebit's gangbang move is hilarious, especially when the IG brothers tagteam in.

Hey, thanks for this suggestion. My team is a droid team; HK(L), 88, 86, Poggle, and Engineer. Would love to switch out Poggle as he's pretty useless.

Also, I'm a nerd, but not nearly nerdy enough for the SW Lore job. Besides, I always felt that SW generally threw out it's lore when it felt like it. Luke has trouble moving a x-wing 5 feet off the ground with the force, and some video game will have some jedi easily pulling a star destroyer out of orbit.

This is a reminder that QGJ doesn't do damage other than a single suicide character in the first 24 hours of the Rancor raid. This is to make sure everyone gets at least a participatory reward.

Is this why I got kicked from QGJ? My droid team did ~300k in damage. Or was it an accident? I confess I haven't been following the thread much lately; work has been insane.

I'm relatively new but I've seen them call you out a few Rancors in a row in guild chat, by name, for doing the same thing after every rancor comes with an announcement that nobody is to damage it the first 24 hours.

They said you can re-apply and it was mostly to get your attention because you had apparently been ignoring guild chat and the thread for weeks now.

How do you get it to where guild chat doesn't pop up? I find it annoying that messages stay up until I read them but you have to have seen "MORALE HAZARD" callouts the instant you do damage the past couple times.

Medium finish in the first one, I did better in the second one, but I've been banging on 9B for a long time now.

How do you get past all those AOE attacks? I have a G9 to G11 rebel team and just get demolished by the constant AOE attacks on that shard.

Also, I'd pay :20bux: for a 7* Gear 8 character, but even though I'm tempted by Shore, it's a bit insulting for them to charge so much for a 4* character.

I watched that video on speed and searched through all my characters for speed mods. A lot of characters that I no longer use like Talia and Chewie had some decent speed mods, like the five pip speed arrow on clone wars chewie.

Can we take a look at how QGJ does Rancor? The 24 hold is a good idea, but the problem I've been having is checking in and seeing an hour or two left on the hold, then getting lost in family or work stuff, checking back a few hours later and seeing the Rancor dead.

Can we maybe lower the hold to 22 or 23 hours? Or maybe have a 12 hour hold and then for the next 12 hours nobody should do more than 500k in damage?

Also, kudos to the goon who posted "buy shoretrooper." I'm finding a Tarkin (L), Palps, TFP, Shore, and Vader or RG (not sure which) works pretty good. I really like Tarkin's speed buffs.
