GW unlocks almost immediately when you start the game though. Level 8 or so? I don't think i had anyone at 4* even, much less at 5*.

Nah, it's like level 40 or thereabouts.

For what's it's worth, I geared Chaze before GK and regretted it. A lot of top meta teams now don't use Chaze at all, but GK is ubiquitous.

Why would a G1 sacrificial Old Ben not work? Like minimum health, no mods. Just exist to get murdered on the first aoe.

It works fine, but the buffs aren't worth losing a squad member for. Especially when they get dispelled.

This game feels so awful when you're behind the meta. I've gone from spending hours rearranging mods, planning gear and so forth to just logging in for 15 minutes to do my dailies and collect carbantis. Only 300 more and I'll have a competitive team! By which point new Luke/Leia/Han will have come out, the meta will have shifted again and I'll still be running to stand still.

I think my best plan at the moment is just to stockpile gear, farm shards and try to jump on whatever the new hotness is once the update lands.

I have them all at 7* except Farmboy himself, who's just hit 5*. He's an easy grind but I hope the event is still a little while away. Rebels going to be dominating the meta again I imagine, glad I didn't bust my rear end levelling Thrawn and Death Trooper.

I'm just glad I'm back in the meta again, even if it's a bit boring. My ep.4 were all g10 or G11 already so I'm in a good spot. Just need a couple of stun guns for raid han, I think CLS/GK/DN/Leia/Han is going to be very strong.

It wouldn't surprise me if they make the CLS event available again in the run-up to launching territory battles. I guess it depends how far away it is though.

I have 5* hoth soldier and I'm pretty sure most of those shards came from Bronziums.

Yeah, it'll make a huge difference. Plus not having a bunch of points go missing at the start thanks to client restarts ruining combat missions.

People need to be on the ball though now that it's switching to a 12 hour cycle. Make sure you hit each phase even if you only have time to deploy/platoon.

Ive scrapped the notion of chaze and am now shooting for cls, r2, rhan, leia, and gk

Can confirm this is a good team. Zeta Han before Leia. The only thing it's missing is an aoe dispel, which can be a bit annoying against Chaze teams but it's usually fine.

My Shoot First priority is R2 (if they have Leia) > CLS > R2 (no Leia). Not sure what others are doing but it seems to work well enough.

Talia is the daily login character for October, so get ready for the night-sister/separatist review.

Yes, this will probably include Nute Gunray/GenG admiral ship.

My daily toon for October is TFP. Is that just a placeholder?

Also, happy 7* GK day, SM!

I guess I wasted a lot of crystals on cantina refreshes to get Hera and Ezra to 7*. Still hoping it's mid-October with Rebels new season.

It's never a waste, when you'll need them soon enough anyway.

Every 7* is a 7* you'll never have to farm again.

I'm quitting them game if they go to 8 stars.

If I'd known I didn't have to rush I wouldn't have been putting 3x100 crystal refreshes into them for the last couple of weeks. That's a lot of crystals I could have spent on something more useful!

Finally beat Thrawn. All G8 except Chopper at G7, arena mods. After about a dozen attempts my best was getting both DTs down and then dying immediately. Then the RNG swung in my favor and I crushed it without losing anyone. Can't overemphasize what a lovely RNG lottery this event is. Just keep at it and try not to snap your phone in half.

Thrawn will likely be back in about 4 months, right? Get your Phoenix squad ready by then.

Cycle tends to speed up once they're not new any more, I'd expect probably more like 2 months.

Please note: altar event completions are global, not per tier. Don't waste both on the first tier like I did.

Consensus I’ve heard for PS is g8 Kanaan/Zeb/Chop, g9 Hera, and Ezra as high as you can/want, especially because he’s useful for other things.

I did it with all G8 except Chopper at G7, with my arena mods. Took a bunch of tries though.

I'm guessing since they released Vet Han and Vet Chewie to the cantina, that they will definitely be required for Rey's journey. Better start farming! I hope we don't need both at 7* like for CLS.

Yes, it was. We'll get some compensation crystals and loot, they'll fix it for next week. S.O.P. at Capital Games.

Am I crazy unlucky or have they stopped putting gold components in shipments (implant, data-pad, medpac etc). There's tons of salvage (challenge loot) and full pieces but none of the old '25 components for 500 crystals' bro-deals that I used to rely on to get people to T11.

I spent a bunch of crystals getting Han and Chewie to 5* in the hopes that new Rey would unlock at 5*. I think only the whaliest whales will be able to 7* two 16-energy cantina toons that have only been out for what, two weeks.

According to http://www.swgoh.life/panic.html, even with both now at 5* it will cost me 22,000 crystals to get them to 7* in time for Rey. No thanks!

Great marketing for the new movie though! 'Go gently caress Yourselves' - E.A.

Wait, what does this actually accomplish? Being high up in your arena for your alt?

Yeah, I don't really see it as an exploit. It's barely an advantage unless you can reliable get top 10, and if you aren't planning on whaling you will quickly be overtaken by those who are.

So this new Empire/Sith meta appears to have taken us all the way back to 'whoever has the best speed mods wins', which is a disappointing backwards step. I can keep up with the resident whales on my shard in terms of character gear, but not mods.

Yeah, I don't want to be overly dramatic, but if this is going to be the new meta I think I might be done. I can't deal with another who knows how many months of speed mod supremacy.
