A Jeopardy mobile game would be fun.

edit: Did they boost Zeta rewards either permanently or for this event. Having only unlocked them two weeks ago, out of two refreshes on the day you could potentially get one I'd either get 1 zeta or 0 zetas? Today, I got two for each refresh for a total of four. :woop:

For the Galactic Chore, I'm starting to get the Chaze / GK / zMaul monstrosity teams in Nodes 11 and 12 relatively regularly now and even once in awhile at Node 9. I'm only at 44k, so I don't think I'll be breaking Node 12 soon. :smith:

Forget the Sith Lord Jar Jar theory, in the new canon, after the rise of the empire, Jar Jar, as a high ranking aristocrat with a meritorious military background, is offered the opportunity to attend an Imperial Military Academy.

Somehow, defying all odds, he excels. This was the structure and discipline he was missing all his life! Under the rigid order of the Imperial Army, he flourishes, even as he discovers previously unknown to him depths of cruelty. Little does he know, the Emperor's right hand has been watching his rise with great interest...

That would be hilarious and a lot of fun. Too bad Disney won't do it.

So, I've gotten enough Zeta mats to Zeta my first character and I'm not sure who I should do it to. At present, my strongest teams are:

HK(L),88,86,Nebit,Engi (G9-11)- No Zetas there AFAIK.
Wiggs(L),STH,LC,Either Akbar or Leia (G10) - None there, either

I'm thinking to do it on a Maul team:

Maul(L),Kylo, Savage, Palps, Vader (G8-G9) Vader is 6* and Savage is G7, but that will be rectified shortly. I'm leading towards Zetaing Maul since it's got strong team synergies and is the current meta.

Any thoughts?

I do, he's only 6*, but G9.


Malgrin posted:

Zaul just isn't what it used to be, Rex, R2, GK, and Chaze have really driven a wedge into the Zaul teams. He's still second in leader quantities, and if you double down on the Zaul meta, you'll do well for a bit, but I don't think that comp will hold out much longer. My shard only has a couple die-hard zaul teams left, and only because they're running 4+ zetas.
If you feel like you need to zeta something to catch up/get ahead, Kylo is your best zeta. You can just toss him in with Wiggs, STH, LC, and he'll win you matches. I've seen him win 4v1 against a meta squad (good rng, but still). On a few occasions, I've lost Nil early against a Zylo squad, and then had Zylo wipe the floor with my other 4 dudes.

I've been trying this with non-Zeta Kylo. It turns out if I want to Zeta him, I have to get a few more Omega mats.

Just build your R2 up, then. 6* is irrelevant for Arena, it's gear, mods, and zetas matter far more.

Dude on my shard finishes top 20 daily with a 5 star chirrut, 4 star baze, and a 4 star nihilus. R2 is the only zeta currently for rebels, so just go with that once you've got him to GX/XI

I just unlocked Thrawn with a 5*, g6, 1 and 2 pip mod Phoenix team [Hera(L), Kanan, Ezra, Zeb, Chopper.] I just made sure that there was protection values on the mods so all the different protection up abilities could be used. I was kind of expecting the big gently caress you on the 5* challenge, but thankfully CG didn't do that. Yay Thrawn, I suppose.

VVV In retrospect, they're not but I thought that CG would make that node more difficult. Also, I have lots of cheapy bin mods lying around.

Is it me, or has the changes to power made Galactic Chore more difficult? I used to be able to complete the last node relatively often. I'd have to sacrifice my G11/G10 Rebels team and then finish them off with another two or three second string G9/G8 teams. Now, it seems like every last node is some unbeatable horror meta.

As much as Chaze may not be top 10 meta, I think Chaze will get me to consistently break into the top 100 on my shard. My Wiggs/ 6* R2 / ZKylo / STH has me hovering around the 100 mark. zKylo really needs a speed arrow to shine, I think, but almost two weeks in of devoting my cantina energy to mods and I haven't gotten a one.

I think my two SWGOH goals is to get consistently in the top 50 in Arena for the extra crystals and be able to finish Galactic Chore if I want to, no problem, i.e. having enough high level teams that it doesn't matter what the 12th node P2W horror show team is, I can eventually beat it. Also, I'll be stoked when QGJ starts doing heroic haats.

This is a hard core P2W game and the business model isn't to my taste, so I don't pay to win. That said, it scratches the star wars itch.

CLS is getting my next Zeta and I need 9 carbantis and 31 stun cuffs. I'm looking to build an arena team around CLS and Raid Han; maybe CLS(L), Han, R2, and Chaze. Chaze still needs a ways to go.

I don't even have Finn unlocked, he'll be next after I star up Hera.

I no longer recommend anyone waste their time with dark-side droids (IG-88, IG-86, HK-47). If you've got'em, they're a decent tank P2, and an okay suicide squad in GW, but if you don't... just get a resistance squad and make zFinn your first Zeta. That team will full clear GW's, deal multiple millions on tank P2/3/4, and is an okay arena squad to boot.

An HK led droid team was my first arena team. I still use them for P2 and for mowing down the earlier nodes in GW,

I have G11 CLS as my light-side and cantina lead and recently cleaned up my allies list. My ally code is 297-786-683 if anyone needs this.

I was kinda hoping to have enough critical mass in QGJ to do HHAAT, but :shrug:, I guess. Maybe next opening in Maulful, I'll move so I can get those juicy GK shards and nopt feel so left out.

Any weird ideas for a CLS-led arena team for someone who doesn't have Chaze (but I have Wiggs)? I just got him to G11 and would like to see what I can do with him. Obviously, I be avoiding zBarris. I also have a single zeta R2.

I'm running zCLS (L, binds all things), zR2 (Number Crunch), Raid Han, Leia, and Old Ben. Next zeta will go to Han. I recently did a pass on all my mods and put the secondary speed mods and primary +30 speed arrows on my arena team. Everyone but old ben is at 198 - 220 speed. Olde Ben is 168. I'm not sure if Kanan or Old Ben is the better tank, but I know GK is the better tank.

Before that I ran CLS, R2, Wiggs, STH. It was ok, but I found STH just too squishy with not a lot of utility beyond turn meter.

The new team comp has propelled me from ~85 to about ~35-45 on my shard. I seem to hit a wall in the high 30s, low 20s. It does pretty good against Chaze comp teams, less so against zMaul, I'm guessing because it doesn't have Baze's AOL, nor Chirrut's heal. It is fun running a pure OT hero comp team though.

That makes me torn between farming Cold Han to help the guild or being selfish and farming Finn. I guess I could rationalize it that Finn would complete my resistance team and then I could be more useful in HAAT. Plus, if the goon hive mind is right, a zFinn team would make GW great again.

Agreed with the complaints about TB; 6 nodes per battle are annoying, as are the number of sections.

I'm also seriously fed up with G9-G12 gear grind. Carbantis are actually okay because it's a slow, steady grind from challenges. If they all were like that, even if you had to prioritize, carbantis with one challenge or stun cuffs with another that would be okay. But grinding the stupid loving stun cuffs and stun guns which have to be wrung out from this or that store a handful at a time when you need 100 of each to push a character to the next gear level is depressing. Is it in the shard shop? How about TB store? How about shipments? Do a crystal refresh, sim 14 nodes, get 1 stun cuff yay!
