Zone of Danger posted:Aren't iphone users also getting Bistan shards rather than SRP shards from the daily pack thing right now? Small difference, but Bistan is not farmable and SRP is. Bistan shows up in the fleet rotations. He's also fun as gently caress as his free turn nonsense makes him downright mean against the Rancor on a rebs team. Not sure how he'd play out in PvP, but I could see him being fairly amazing in GW.

Dely Apple posted:I don't even know how I would have beaten the kind of 12th team I keep getting matched into. I also wish meaningful levels of training droids were more plentiful, but I assume that's another impatience buy in the shop. :ea: things to help with GW: Retreating is a restart - it resets GW to before you started the battle, so you can retry it if some of what happened to you is luck based (crits, for example, or %chance stuns). It can help you keep people alive. If you use a tank, don't use them until the last shard. That extra protection is probably necessary. Pay attention to what you're fighting - Akbar and Rex make most Vader/Boba/Emperor teams a joke by cleansing the debuffs. If the team has frontloaded damage on CD's, send in a poo poo team to eat those cd's and die, then send in your damage dealers. Characters keep their built up speed along with any damage they've taken, so someone ready to go is going to still be ready to go. Likewise whoever goes last will start the next fight with an empty time bar. Seriously, beating GW is pretty much always possible, you just have to realize that most of your roster exists to soak, and don't be afraid to retreat if things just go bad from the beginning, and try not to have anyone you need to go first to set up a combo end a round. It helps if you have filler with buff/heal/debuff actions that will allow you to burn extra turns so you can get something off of CD for the next battle as well.

Zone of Danger posted:I think I'd hold off for a bit. Shoretrooper is barely farmable (but you could whale from shipments as a long-term project) and who knows when/how we'll get access to Deathtrooper shards. Tie Advance is nice, and Vader is easier to farm up, but I don't know if it's worth it for a 50/50. I think I'd rather have a furnace and a droid caller than a ship I can't get more shards for. for what it's worth, my 4* TA has my second highest combat power with a 6* T9 Vader after my 6^ Wedge Ship with 7* T10 Wedge, and that means it's above my Biggs X-Wing. His passive (enemy ships get re-targetlocked when they lose targetlock) is baller with Wiggs - I'm running him, Wedge, Biggs, Fives, and Boba Fett as my starters with Ahsko Tano, JC, and Bistan's U Wing as my backup and Mace as my cap ship. I'm level 82, and can regularly get into the top 5 on my shard before I hit the "all 7* ships including Cassions U-Wing, Millenium Falcon, and Vaders TA" wall.

Inimicul posted:What's your opinion of Zam Wessell? I've thought about picking her up for Team Scoundrel as well. my Zam is only like 4*s, but she can get a poo poo ton of free turn meter and hand out free turn meter. She throws out thermal detonators on the whole team, then activates them when she attacks. LIke most of the other BH's not named Boba Fett or IG-88 she synergizes on the bounty hunter team but is lackluster otherwise. If you can crit with her shot and activate two detonators you're going to kill your target. She's not so great on defense because she blows her debuff first if the enemy has detonators, as does Greedo, instead of doubling up on the explosives and burning down the enemy team. If I was using them for Arena I'd use her with BH's, but if you don't have team mates to also drop detonators she's not that great, and if you're mixing scoundrels and bounty hunters the Lando's speed and crit damage bonus probably beats Boba Fetts crit damage.

two_step posted:TFP is great. RG I guess is OK, the rest are meh (though Mal will come in here and defend snowtrooper til his death) What level are you? Trooper squad isn't bad now, you can farm up General, Storm, and Magma easily. Snow requires higher level or guild coins, and then Death is high level Cantina and Shore is High level light side and giant pain. if your'e looking for a vader palp team that's good, you can get TFP from farm easily, Maul shows up in fleets and is good, RG takes a while and if you're high enough Shore or Sith Trooper both do a better job on that team (although I prefer RG in raids because of the slow). The main issue with F2P empire/sith teams is that they require farming people with only 1 or 2 heroic shards OR last stage Cantina/LS missions. Tarkin got an upgrade today, too, but I have 0 experience with it.

Crumbletron posted:If someone is low level though and really wants Thrawn, you'd probably have to start farming soon, no? I mean yeah it's like half a year out but I can see it taking a month for Ezra and Hera each, and Sabine even longer, especially without guild currency or crystals for refreshes coming in as quickly. Ezra and Hera are easy, though, and if they're starting pre-50 they can use whatever crystals they get to farm them. Sabine will take forever, though, regardless because one hard node is garbage. Guild Coins will depend entirely on if they have a character with enough stars to do raid and get the 0 damage or not. I don't know when Thrawn will be coming back, they have 4 of these events and it seems Yoda is still more often than any of the others, so probably in another 6 months. They may have some time.

Popete posted:Is Phoenix Squad any good? I'm leveling them up purely so I can get 7* Thrawn but I don't really care about the characters. They're not bad. They're essentially designed as a starter team for new players - they're all easy to get access too, and only Sabine is difficult to 7*. Several of them are good individually, Kanan, Sabine, and Ezra. Kanan and Ezra also both work on Jedi teams. As a team they're not bad, but they require setup and Hera is both a required leader and not very good. Those stacked passives (especially Ezra, Zeb, and Kanan) can be killer, and mixing Staggered with Sabine can murder people. OTOH they're not anywhere near as powerful as some of the other teams, but they also don't need Zetas. Think of them as starter rebs that get you Thrawn and Palpatine. Their ships are good, but each one requires three characters, but they make a really good team up with Bistan, Wedge, and Biggs - tons of stealth, bonus TM, bonus attacks (which lead to pro+) and probably required for a non-gimmick (drop boba fett in just before ult for a quick bomb run) Ackbar team.

In mitigation of the BS, they are reworking all the old rebel characters involved. So Old Ben, Luke (Farmboy), Leia, and STHan are all getting an upgrade.

I powered through with zQGJ (L), Kanan, Ezra, Mace, JKA. I borrowed whoever was strongest, Luminara when I could get her but Biggs as well. Foresight every time you kill something REALLY cuts down on the bs aoe in LS9 2 and 3. EDIT GL 8 for Kanan, Ezra, and JKA, 9 for QGJ and 10 for Mace (because I use his ship, don't you loving judge me). I used mace over Tano because he hits hard, I had him geared to the 9s, and the extra dispel was useful. Any competently geared Jedi could replace him, though, and I know lots of people have actually put time and effort in Luminara, I just think she's too slow.

Ineptitude posted:Alright. Was hoping he was skipable since he seems like a rough farm. The rest of the resistance aren't too bad. Troopers only work with each other, really. Without the stacking passives they all fall short except for Shore and maybe Snow that he gets CDR per Crit on his AoE. Any Palp Team can probably do it. I'd recommend Something like Tarkin/Ep/Vader (any of them could lead) TFP/anyone else. Tarkin's pretty easy to pick up these days, he's in ship shop and arena and you'll need him decent to get Zeta mats eventually anyway.

You can build up a half decent trooper team (Veers (l), StormT, SnowT, MagmaT) and fairly easily. You can also grind the crap out of Tarkin now, who's a good lead for random Emp and you should be working him anyway to help with Zetas. Magma isn't as bad as people say, he actually does decent damage spread around for events, he's just useless for raids/pvp because you don't want him doing half his damage to random targets in those venues.

Now I'm going to farm the poo poo out of Tie Reaper well past maxing Shock Trooper I'm sure, and it doesn't look like I'll ever be allowed to get my Gauntlet crew. Also, gently caress this 7* cap ship BS. 15 shards means 7 months (if they're each monthly events) to get the cap ships maxxed, or 4800 crystals minimum. God damned if it isn't the most blatant cash grab they've done in a while (especially with starting it all the day after crystals were added to Fleet payouts).

UmOk posted:Which Phoenix omegas are a must have for Thrawn? None of them, and use Sabine instead of Chopper. You don't need two tanks, and she can also stagger so you can clear both DTS buffs easily in the last fight. People keep complaining about this fight, but I had random leftover mods, level 85 pheonix with g8's (except ezra, who's g10 because I use him with rebs in GW all the time) and I easily get into the last fight with full protection and all my cds up. Just hit the last 2 guys in each wave witch basics and rely on Zebs passive to fill you back up, maybe use Zebs 3 because temp protection boils over into permanent if its up at waves end and at/under 100%. You do have to get Ezra to go first in the final round so you can clear taunt, then have zeb stagger one DT and Sabine get the other, clearing their mega-damage buffs. Then just get the DTs dead and focus down the dps, Thrawn might kill someone but you should have plenty of time to mop it all up. Also, you get health back from Kanan's passive whenever you suffer a debuff, but you probably shouldn't be running out of protection pre-last wave anyway, and I think you save more health from getting stagger on both Death Troopers quickly than you'd regain from Choppers passive anyway.

The two pheonix ships are good, but nothing to write home about out side of the synergy with them, Biggs, and the U-Wings for a poo poo ton of fast turns and stealth.

CaptainPsyko posted:Wedge is entirely mediocre outside of Rebel Fleet. if you're loading up debuffs then Wedge works, so he works well with rebels, 5s ship, Vaders TA (which is in most fleet comps), and a small list of others. The big thing with Wedge is that he makes a great reinforcement to take out whatever tank/tanks they're using that usually have several stacked debuffs when your Biggs goes down. It also gets 25% TM for attacking out of turn, so it works well with Akbar (which you're probably only using with rebels anyway) and, oddly enough, Thrawn. It also works with ships that feed bonus attacks, so Ghost/JC/Cassions U-Wing, it crits as hard as several other ships. It's not bad so much as FOTF and Imperial TF are both phenomenal damage dealers and you probably don't want 3 single target damage dealers in your initial line up. Cassions ship is actually really good tbh, but you have to have it finished AND two of the less useful Rogue 1 chars geared along with Jyn Erso. I don't care for multi-crew ships.

Cad Bane is, unfortunately, terrible - and yeah, you can easily clear the hardest tier with a decent Boba and Lando or STH. Both of those characters are good (tm) until you hit high end rebels, so there's really no reason not to farm them. They do need to drop more scoundrels, though, and a semi-decent scoundrel leader, especially since there's a 99.9% they're going to make us farm up Old Han/Chewie for new Rey.

I already had everything but BB8, and I had gotten my FO so I got him today. I've got 110 shards to go on Chewie, but it's been a "crystals are for farming veterans only" since they dropped and I'll have to drop 20 bucks to keep up the pace. I'm also top 20 in my arena shard and top 10 in fleets, so means I make back my Cantina spending daily.

kingcom posted:So what are the perfect optimal reinforcements then? Start Biggs/Vader +1, usually Silencer, Imp. Tie, or ghost (the pheonix that stealths another ship). Reinforcements are iffy and based on what you're buffing, but the best reinforcement abilities are generally considered to be Boba's, Banshee (lowers CD of reinforce by one, so you can do it twice in a row), Sun Fac (stuns target +1 additional ship). Reaper makes a really good reinforcement (lowers turn meter of enemies, but then you also get a Tie Reaper), Poe gets a BIG damage boost if he's reinforced, Geo Spy puts taunt on the target (good if their biggs doesn't currently have taunt or is dead, so they can't drop another taunter into the mix) and Cassians U-Wing dispels all buffs on a target, ALL targets if fully upgraded can't be evaded/resisted). Of those, Cassian does a double attack when he comes into play, Tie Reaper gets a dispel attack when he comes into play, and Sun Fac can stun a buffed target when he comes into play, so they're all good ships to counter whatever nonsense just got dropped into play from the enemy side if you aren't currently first. Reaper is exceptionally good at this if you're tied or almost tied for speed, since a single kill before the next ability goes off means you're now ahead in speed and thus will get you use your ultimate first in a mirror match (Thrawns, mostly, although Tarkin is pretty good with all his abilities upgraded and the other meta that's going to happen is Bugs + Ackbar). Poe is basically a drop in and kill someone without protection with his unique buff and missiles auto-hit/crit on unprotected targets (he's very, very good against Imp. Tie). Quick tip on ties - if you went first and reinforce while Tie has insight, if you break it it shouldn't mess up turn order because excess TM is lost so the enemy cap ship (already at 100%) is just going to be tied with you again anyway.

gently caress You And Diebold posted:the devs must really hate light side ships. Dark side has all the best ships except for Biggs so the new ship they add is a dark side.... counter to Biggs Not anymore. Cassians U-Wing is the best reinforcement, the Episode VII Falcon is really good but not worth the investment to get there, the Pheonix ships are good and synergise with Akbugs, the Galactic Republic ships all work well together. The main issue is that other Akbar using his speed to overwhelm reinforcements, the LS Cap ships are bad and the teams don't work together the way Tie/TA/Reaper do (turn manipulation). It also hurts that Biggs needs constant target locking, which the light side heavy damage dealers don't do, and he's really the only decent tank.

GMT is nice for the dmg reduction for any stray shots that get through and TFP has a handy ability block for the elders Zvader lead if you have it. Dots go up, ewoks just kill themselves. I use DV + Troopers (DT, ShoreT, SnowT, and Veers) because they get a bunch of free turns and can easily take you through the other levels with the TM down from Vaders lead.
