I only have Old Man Han and Vet Chewie at 3* and I'm not unlocking their nodes anytime soon, and I build them up to make them useful?

I was able to clear BB8 completely, I just had to improve both Kylo Rens and I was able to get through it fine. Which meant I could clear the first JTR node. Without unlocking the Vet nodes though I won't be able to progress.

Mace Windu certainly needs to be better.

And nice, after struggling through the last few Cantina nodes, I managed to 3* both Vet nodes. So I'll certainly have Han and Chewie ready for when JTR comes back in 6 months.

How are you supposed to beat the last rebel training mission? You can't change your team, and Thrawn or the Emperor just one shots everyone. You can't target them because the ST are always tanking.

I didn't see the article said Mission was coming, cool! Bastila and Jolee update live now. I'm glad they kept her double bladed lightsaber. Looks like Nest is now available in Chromium backs...yay.

Man, just having store being an option when you want to level up gear is really great. There's way more options to get a lot of stuff so that makes it way easier to do rather than just hunting around everywhere.

Well yeah why would the KotOR1 characters be able to beat Traya? Her entire thing is that Revan and his team were a bunch of dumbdumbs who didn't actually accomplish anything.

The Jedi Exile, on the other hand, will have the ability to make any enemy Trayas switch sides at the beginning of battle.

Until Reven stabs her in the back and joins the Sith Emperor because that stupid book was about setting up Biowares MMO rather than giving a satisfying ending for one of the most popular EU characters.

I really hate the Arena, i never bother to try because 90% of the time my choices are 2 teams that are fully zeta'd and yellow gear leveled, or a team with 30k more power than my best team.

Just so I don't waste time, from the Bastila and Jolee events, you can only get friendship points and not shards or mods from doing them more than once?

Maybe i should try TOR again, I got to the Sith Throneworld on my Bounty Hunter and Sith characters and the game just ground to a halt.

My problem with TW is that it gets to a point where I can actually do anything when I'm asleep or at work so I can't really do anything. My best team, made purely of my top characters tops out at 70k power, and my most effective team is 67k. Everyone seems to front load their TW defenses with 80+, so I go in and get wiped out before my team can do anything, and its basically pointless. Last TW we had though I managed to catch it at the tail end and get 4 victories in.

Nice, I always figured like other games, characters weren't worth bothering with unless they were maxed out *'s at the least.

And I realized I should put some more effort into leveling up my Phoenix team, as I just noticed I got most of them to GL7 and just forgot about them. Mostly because they all needed 20 widgets in all their gear slots, but after joining a guild I've been getting way more stuff.

Your shiny new thrawn's ebb & flow isnt a bad choice. R2 number crunch also good & versatile. Who is your arena team?

I'm using Palp, Vader, Nihilus, Tarkin and Sidious. Palp and Vader have Zetas already, though I borked vader and put it on his leader rather than his unique.

Finn is an amazing zeta if you have a decent resistance team built up (Poe, Res Trooper, Res Pilot)

Scav Rey is an ok zeta but usually only if you already have RJT and her zetas

Dont zeta Farmboy Luke or STH

That's kind of my problem, my LS teams are poo poo. My top 5 LS is Hera, Lando, Hobo Rey, FB Luke, Luminara, ST Han and K2S0.

I'll probably just dump it on Rey just so I can have someone other than Hera zeta'd on the LS.

Warmachine posted:

You had me thinking for a moment that they randomly changed something about Daka. NS have 3 resurrection mechanics outside of Zombie's unique. The first is Daka's heal, which is a guaranteed res of a Nightsister with a 35% (70% for NS) to raise any other dead ally. The second is Talzin's swarm attack. If it kills someone, all NS allies are revived and heal 100% health. The third is zTalzin's leader, which is like a mini-swarm calling a dead NS to assist on a basic attack, and if an enemy dies, the assist revives with 50% health.

The entire comp revolves around not staying dead and it's loving glorious.

NO one was dead, so it must have been the leader ability. Also I've fought against taunting enemies that never lose the taunt, and then that taunting character has some rez or heavy heal mechanic on it. I had my ner 80K Sith/Empire team was beaten by a 50k Phoenix that had a Chopper that never stopped taunting and of course always had backup plan on it. The amount of taunts in this game is super annoying.

Yea, unless there is a team I think I can actually beat, like a unzeta'd team or whatnot, I just choose the strongest and autobattle, because Its faster than trying to fight a losing battle.

So I have been able to 3* both the Sion and Blaze nodes, but I'm still stuck at 1* for the shore and krennick nodes. That's okay, because those are the two characters I want to farm.

What team are you using? IMO get your wiggs up, then use wedge lead, biggs, zolo, r2 and your storm han should be able to beat it easy. Also stop gearing your vet han its a waste

My rebel team right now is Lando, Raid Han, Farmboy Luke, ST Han and R2. I am sure there is a better leader for that team, but Lando is my best choice right now.

I love meeting upbeatable teams; Nihilus, R2, Baze, 5s and Chirrut. Just absolutly obiliterates whatever I take and they all get healed massively and constantly. Like 20k multiple times and one shots everyone, not to mention they chain attacks with everything they do.

farmboy luke is never useful in any other situation, whereas leia has some utility in certain raids, and r2 is excellent in many teams, so dont focus luke so much imo

the only hard phase of the CLS event uses leia, r2, storm han, and fb luke, and of those r2 is by far the most useful, leia is ok, storm han is eh, and FB luke is garbage tier

Really because the stage i got stuck at for CLS required FB Luke and STHan.

Get Wedge and Biggs. Use Wedge as your leader and you will profit. Remove FBLuke and STHan, they are worthless against Wiggs, Lando, R2, and Han.

I used my latest zeta on R2's number cruncher ability. Is it worth slapping Zetas on both abilities when a character has 2 abilities that can be zeta'd? Like I should put one on Vaders unique, as I hosed that up and put it on his leader. I think next Zeta will go on Nihilus though.

Disagree slightly - if you’re using DN under Palp lead, regardless of the full lineup, you want that zeta.

Of course if you’re using DN under palp lead and aren’t working on Sion to go with him, well, LMAO at you, what are you even doing anyway.

My Arena/GW team right now is Palp, Vader, DN, Tarkin and Sidious. I'm working on getting Sion now that I've 3*'d his node, but that s along, long way off, but he'll be replacing Sidious. I didn't know Gear effect ship battles that much, i'll probably put my next zeta on Vader then to complete him.

I want a good backup team that will be rebels. I am going to have to put effort into Resistance characters if I want JTR and into Phoenix again to max out Thrawn though.

Wedge is a great leadership ability and the wiggs combo is a cornerstone of an early rebel team, And if you have an ally with a good CLS the combo of both leaderships is amazing for 3*ing nodes. As a dozen of us itt have said get your wiggs up!

I just tried this on the Shoretrooper node and did the best i'd done yet. I still lost Biggs because of those stupid Cartel Thugs and their brutal attacks (seriously, why does some generic enemy have such a strong attack all ability?). It looks like I'll just have to bring up their GL some more.

It did enable me to 3* the Krennick node though which is good.
