For example, I think it's the only place outside of achievements and the Shard Shop that occasionally gets shards for Vader.

Guy in my guild got his Darth Nihilus up to 7 stars over the weekend. Pretty he spent $300 to do so on data cards alone. It's crazy to me what people will spend on this game. That being said, he's a god drat beast.

I have a 7 star RG because I wanted a good tank a while ago, so I'm good there. And a 6 star Vader. But after that I'm pretty weak on Empire. I have a 4 star Magma I'll probably try to get up to 5 star, and a level 63 GLVII TIE Fighter Pilot for his ship crew bonus, but he's only 3 stars so he's pretty worthless. I probably won't make it far in this event.

CaptainPsyko posted:You can take Magma from 4 to 7 stars (assuming you're at 0/65) in ~17 days. TIE can go from 3->7 in basically the same timeframe if you do cantina refreshes. If you farm Tarkin hard, and if Vader is close, then you got this. Then that's what I'll try. Thanks!

CaptainPsyko posted:Note that that's still only 4/5 that you'll need. If you don't have EP unlocked, the next easiest farm is probably going to be either stormtrooper (Cantina + some hard nodes) or Snowtrooper (guild currency), but either way, at that point you're getting into the imperial weeds and it'll be real tough to be ready in time. I have a 4 star Snowtrooper, so I'll see if I can get him up to good enough that he's at least not a drain on the team. Though he needs cantina energy too, so that's probably. It realistic.

I can only ever get 2.5 million, but I assume that's because I only have Boba standing by the end. My scoundrels, in general, suck, but I have 4 meat shields and a kick rear end Boba that, if I play write and don't get stun locked, can take out the last 2 waves all by himself. I should really build up STH (7 stars, but not very well geared and only level 70) and actually get Lando sometime. I just don't want to stop farming other poo poo when Boba can win it for me.

If you can clear the max tier, you have the same Chance of rewards with only boba standing as you do with a full squad at full hp. Huh, strange. I've only been able to clear the max tier for the past, say, 2 or 3 credit heists, but I've gotten 2.5 mil literally every time, for both runs, so I just assumed. I guess my luck just sucks.

Shame you can only get Ashoka (Fulcrum) up to 3 stars today. Like, cool, I've got her, but until they open ways to get more shards she's basically useless. I know it's common, I was just spoiled by the R2 event recently. Hopefully shards for her start coming up in the fleet store or something like that soon. Her character design is awesome, though.

Someone made a comment on Reddit, and I have a sudden sense of dread. New character is likely Thrawn, and I'll bet you need to use Phoenix squad to unlock him. I...have not leveled them at all. Super. edit: Eh, on second thought, their shards are only available occasionally through shipments, so I'd say it's A) unlikely and B) if it does happen, not much I can do about it. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 14:10 on Jun 6, 2017 |

tadashi posted:I only have Ezra and Sabine on my lower level account. I've been working on getting Wedge to 5 stars. Is it worth stopping to farm Ezra? I have QGJ, JKA, Lumi, Ahsoka. Level Wedge. It's hard to imagine Thrawn being good enough to justify holding on Wedge. He's, like, really good. And Ezra, by all accounts, isn't worth it, long term. Also, it's unclear exactly when we'll get to earn Thrawn (this event just mentions battling him, he might be a reward, but it might be a separate event after) but the amount you could level Ezra probably isn't enough to be super useful in time. That's a lot of words but I'll just return to this. Level Wedge. Also, Biggs if you haven't already, but you probably know that.

Davethulhu posted:Thrawn should be the same as Yoda, Palpatine, and R2, you'll unlock him if you can get a team of 5*s, which is very doable. Do we know that? Or will he maybe be like Ahsoka (Fulcrum), where it's super easy to unlock, but you'll be left with 3 stars only? edit: I have 5 Phoenix members at 4 stars, and Chopper at 3. So whether or not I can try the last phase will really depend on how long this flash event lasts. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 13:19 on Jun 9, 2017 |

Flash Event started, I was able to do the first and third stage. Well, I finished the third stage, but that first stage is kicking my rear end. I'm fine for the first two rounds, but on the third round, suddenly everyone hits like a bulldozer, they have massive speed, and I just sit there watching my toons die. I can hit one explosive crate, but then they taunt. Sometimes I'm able to hit the second explosive crate, but that's usually mere seconds before I die. I should note my three characters for this are all 4 stars, so I guess I'll try again later. Third stage was easy, also with 4 star toons.

They probably don't want to broadcast it in game or in a super official capacity, because they'd get lots of false reports for "cheaters" who just have better teams than they do. But it is a good policy to reward people reporting bullshit.

Ugh, I need 5 more Sabine shards to 5 star her, and be able to try to get Thrawn on the last day of the event. But I'm out of crystals for refreshing the hard battle that grants them, and nothing else is offering them at the moment. I'm standing by with enough currency in both the Guild store and Fleet store, in case they show up in either spot. But c'mon game, I'm almost there!

Chopper has been a far slower grind for me, considering I can only get them from Cantina battle currency, and even using all my cantina energy every day, and dropping 400 currency on him, I'm no where near close enough. With Sabine, I had the hard battle, and Guild store every once in a while.

Chilichimp posted:Yeah, I'm refreshing 2+ times/day. That would cost way more crystals than I have, 200 per day, when I'm already using my regular energy refresh of 50 crystals as many times as they allow. Maybe I should have stopped using that when gearing up the Phoenix squad and used the crystals on cantina energy refreshes to get Chopper instead. But alas, too late for that.

Oh well, I'll train up my squad for next time he's available, and it's not like he'd be super usable at only 5 stars anyway.

Ineptitude posted:The hero list in the OP, is that the priority i should get the heroes in? Yes, the OP is kept up to date fairly well. Leia is fantastic early on, and is even helpful on a Rebel team later on. She can hit multiple times, and can stealth herself. Absolutely pick her up. Early on you can't do all that wrong, but I think 2 tanks is 1 more than you need. I'd prioritize RG, because Chewie will stop being useful pretty soon, but RG is useful in top level teams. Consular is the better healer of those two, so if you focus on one healer, have it be him. But I'd look to replacing him with either Luminara (relatively easy to farm from the Galactic War store) or Bariss (harder to level, but better because she can heal toons who have the "can't be healed" debuff) when you can, as they are both better. I'm only ranked 200-300 though, so plenty of people here can give way more elite opinions.

Ineptitude posted:This game survives solely on the merit of being a Star Wars game. If this had been another generic Korean anime gacha squad battle game with identical mechanics people would have noped out of it a long time ago, i assume. I certainly would have. I want to say you're wrong, but I've been trying to find another game like it to also play, and each one I can't seem to get into, so you're probably right. I was bored by the Final Fantasy one (I bailed pretty early, it may get interesting later), and one mentioned in here (Seven Knights, I think?) by someone had a loading page with a bunch of scantily clad anime girls, which made me say, "Ehhhhh, nah." Is there a widely accepted better game like this? I have no problem with a grind (obviously), but with varied classes, and isn't bogged down by story mode bullshit? (The Marvel one bored me with that.) There's a DC Comics one that's...alright. But I don't really know where to look beyond IPs I already recognize, which is probably my problem.

Ineptitude posted:Having decent success with RG is for tanking, so you don't really need him and STH in the lineup together. RG, though, has two big things going for him. First being his stun chance on his main attack, which has saved me on many occasions. The second is his taunt, which triggers automatically whenever one of your toons drops below 50% health. Not needing to wait for his turn to come up to taunt is a pretty big deal. With RG and a healer in my lineup (one of my heroes drops below 50%, RG taunts, giving me enough time to get around to my healer bringing both the hero and RG back up in health), I can become pretty difficult to kill. The defense buff is also nice. But he can't hit for poo poo and, like I said, if you want to push STH, you don't really need RG, unless you start building an Empire team.
