So I've been playing for a while now, and I feel like I'm starting to hit a wall and don't know where to focus my efforts next. Right now, everything looks like a nail to my Wiggs/Lando/STHan +1 hammer, and I feel like I'm starting to run up against the limits of that, but I'm not sure where to put my next effort. https://swgoh.gg/u/lesspopmorefizz/ I just got Teebo to 7* so I'm trying to Gear him up along with Rex to do Rancor stuff - I know Teebo/Rex/QGJ is the core of a great Rancor team but I dunno what to do for the last two spots. TFP and RG for damage/slow/tenacity down? Wiggs? Something else I don't realize I've got? Similarly, I feel like my arena shard is ripe for disruption with nothing but rebels at the top (and one guy running droids) but I'm not sure what to put together to fight them. Any thoughts on what I ought to be farming with what I have?

fishtobaskets posted:How does that Teebo/EE/Phasma/QGJ/TFP team work? I get that it's generally about denying TM, but how do QGJ/TFP/EE fit into that tactic? EE feeds turn meter to teebo and cleanses the death mark in P1; TFP applies tenacity down (and buff immunity in P1), and does tons of damage; GQJ removes TM on his basic after omega.

So.... Zader/Zooku/Palp/TFP +1... (Fett? RG/Shore? Kylo? Someone else?) Seems good. In particular, Dooku under Zader seems like a hard counter to ST Han, to say nothing of just having another source of shock and stuns...

Question about Vader Zeta and Palpatine: does the secondary damage to rebels, Jedi, and people with Shock when Palp casts shock trigger TM reduction? What about the end-of turn damage to anyone with shock?

Zone of Danger posted:New approach seems to be to give away marquee new characters for free at 3-4* with a mega-whale pack to fill out the rest. Not sure if that's an improvement or not?. There's also a commitment to a timeline of introduce -> Chromium -> shipment/node, which is an improvement.

Jerkface posted:Since all these op toolboxes are viable at low star level its really only important to unlock them. I like the new system for that reason. I wish they would add someone to arena gw and cantina shops tho Depends what you need 'am for; low stars in arena works, but it's frustrating for raids. (That's not relevant for this batch in the current raids, but still.)

So... thoughts on replacing my G10 Protection modded 4* Shoretrooper with Sith Trooper with (eventually) comparable gear and mods? Especially given that I'm probably going to be switching over to a Zader lead (from my current Wiggs/Rebels setup) in the next week or two?

Chilichimp posted:He looks cool as poo poo, honestly. But his taunt will count for gently caress-all if the enemy is running a 250+ speed TFP, because no Zader/EP is that quick, and you need 2 sith special casts to get his taunt going. I know Sidious can get that kind of speed, but I'm dubious as gently caress about another Sith going that quickly. I was planning on something like Zader/EP/Sith Trooper/Dooku/TFP?

Chilichimp posted:Oh drat, yeah that's rad as gently caress. He'll slot right into Zader, then. Right. My thinking is TFP goes first, applies AoE TM down and ability blocks an opposing ability blocker - that should be enough for even a modest speed Dooku or Palp to go second and get a taunt up. At which point it's GG.

Zaul is definitely better in a vacuum, but I only have one Zeta to work with, and Zader is much more versatile and helps me do more things in the game. I've only been playing since September, and am level 83, about to get my first Zeta. Given that, Vader wins.

Burning_Monk posted:So what is a more potent upgrade, Stars>Gear>Level>Mods? Trying to prioritize my resources and upgrades. Mostly, but you'll find tanks get more out of gear than stars in many cases, and for characters that need to go first, speed mods can be more important than anything.

fishtobaskets posted:Are you saying Zoba is the new preferred zeta? I was planning on Zader, but I can easily switch to Zoba since he's currently in my arena squad anyway. Zoba is appealing because it's not a leader skill; regaining 100% protection on a KB gives him a ton of sustainability to mop up in a close arena match. I don't know if I'd chase it first over Zader still, just because Zader offers so much utility for everything in the game - what it loses in not being the absolute best arena lead, it makes up for by being great in raids and everywhere else.

Space Crabs posted:Wait what's this about? I'll be able to raid soon. Am I not supposed to do damage? A lot of guilds have people tag in and do 0 damage to the heroic Rancor in the first 24 hours to make sure everyone gets credit because otherwise it dies in two hours.

So, I'll have 7* Vader with a Zeta this time tomorrow. For heroic Rancor, Zader/Palp/TFP/Rex/ ?????? Who do I slot in fifth? Don't have Sidious. Do have Dooku and Maul for 7* Sith, RG for 7* Empire (and could farm up tarkin pretty quickly I guess?) Other options include QGJ for TM down, Boba Fett for dots... ? I'm still a few weeks out from Phasma.

Longshoreman X posted:My guaranteed character first chromium pack gave me Poe Dameron. Should I bother leveling him? Is he any good? Poe's not bad. His synergy with Finn is really strong, and he's a perfectly usable tank in a lot of places in the game. He's not phenomenal when you're just starting out - you'll still want to replace him with ST Han ASAP - but he's a character that you'll absolutely want to max out eventually, so probably better than at least a third of what you could have gotten.

Numismancer posted:Question about guild strategy, if such a thing exists? I'm in Cactusfly's Rocinante guild at the moment, and at level 74: https://swgoh.gg/u/numismancer/ etc. You should look to join a guild doing T7 Rancor as soon as you have a 7* character. The rewards for coming in 40th are still better than doing well in the t5 raid. (A guild doing t7 tank would be even better, but most wouldn't have you until you can contribute. But guilds that can clear the 6* tank and heroic Rancor are a dime a dozen so join one and get rewarded for both until you can contribute.)

Vulpes posted:He has very high speed and only a one-turn taunt, which makes him a pretty sub-par tank, especially with no auto-taunt. Interesting kit for survivability but that's not much use when the rest of your team are dead. Honestly, with that much speed, the point is clearly to taunt on turn one to neutralize the opening round burst that a lot of other teams put out and allow your other, slower units to start getting to work. In theory, after that, maintaining control is up to them. I mean, if he's fast enough and has enough protection, he's basically as good as my Shoretrooper that gets Wiggsecuted all the time.

(not an original idea, I saw him used in an Ahnald vid) Because outside of that fairly specific setup, he's worthless, and it's a lot of effort to set him up when there are so many good alternatives.

The packs are relevant because when a heist is up you get a pop up trying to sell them to you the instant you open the app. It's the first notice you get that a heist is up.

Had my first node 12 from hell today with Zeta QGJ lead, GK, Yoda, Chirrut, Baze. Fortunately still pretty easy to take down thanks to being GW, where I can use my Zader/Boba arena setup to kill Kenobi and then send in Wiggs and Co. to mop up, but I guess this is The Future, given that I'm 2,000 xp away from level 85.

Also Baze/Chirrut/Deathtrooper/Cassian/Jyn (and I assume Krennic though I haven't seen him) are availiable for crystals from shipments.

MichiganCubbie posted:First things first, stop leveling all of your characters. You're going to quickly run out of resources to maintain yourself. Focus on 5-10 characters. You're in a great position to make a Droid arena team. Also work on farming a GW character. I'd go Biggs because you're going to be starting ships soon. If you're going to build a droid arena team, IG-86 is the way to go. More importantly though, I wouldn't chase that unless you're in a guild where you can regularly tag in and leach kills on both raids - Jawa Engineer is critical and the only way to farm him is guild shipments.

fishtobaskets posted:While it's not an end game situation, I'm gonna try out a Zader lead in arena this week. I'm the only guy in the top 20 of ships on my shard running Executrix so I suspect I'm also one of the 1st to be reliably farming zetas. I certainly haven't seen any in the top 20 of arena. I've been running Zader for about a month (was he first Zeta on my shard); you absolutely want TFP. I run Zader/Palp/TFP/Dooku/Shore, and I swap Dooku out for Boba and Shore out for RG sand maybe some other backline changes when I need to countercomp someone. Sidious is definitely better than Dooku in my setup. If your Palp is fast enough, he'll do a ton of work too. In fights where he gets off that AoE stun round one. Beyond that, if you can survive a round without shorty, leave him out, but otherwise, you want him.

fishtobaskets posted:I can see the benefit of Dooku being the 5th. Zader, TFP, Sid, Dooku, EP seems like it would get a ton of TM down chances. Biggest advantage of Dooku, if you're not running a dispel, he gives you a chance to stun someone through the pretaunt.
