this game's biggest failing is how bad robert fettucine is, i'm used to the fettster being op in whatever game he's in, it's not 100% reliable but he's generally mary sue enough to be designed well, like Vader. problem is netmabu doesnt know poo poo about these characters, they have a weird korean perspective or some poo poo so they don't understand our star wars memes and which characters we're attached to. playable baze malbus. yeah i know they had to design those rug 1 characters before anyone had even seen the movie but c'man. chewie is a loving unique like come on. anyway fett isn't great yeah i know that RUTANK is tryin to prove somethin but he was never really a problem for me to beat in kyber

netmarbu is like my favorite mobile developer but it's somewhat annoying how all-in they are on the marketing tie-ins. Like yeah I get that these games are mostly marketing tools but Future Fight would ONLY add content from the most recent marvel story arcs and newest characters, and the same thing is true here, it's a game where you can play as loving Bodhi the pilot before idk, Obi-Wan fuckin Kenobi and Chewbacca???? Or even a chump like Kylo Ren? Yes I get it but it's still retarded

Imp Side

Kallus,
Thrawn
Vader

Tarkin could potentially be on this list if you run a support deck in 2v2 and just completely ruin everybodies day with him.


Rebel

Cassian
Han
Lando

There a few edge cases for 4th but i'm personally going to go for Sabine since her autoattacks just throw her all over the place and her little grenades just do so much damage overall.

I really hope they add more opportunities to pick specific legendaries and uniques because the more of those they add with random draws the harder it will become to level up any one of them in particular. Even the overpriced legendary + unique pack on the shop doesn't let you pick who you get.

Playing this game again, I cannot escape. I switched to a hero that my problems won't be so crippling. I'm currently doing decent with the Thrawn deck I posted above. I'm steadily climbing, just verrrry slow.
I saw we were at level 6 of the guild mission, so I thought I'd hop on and toss 50 points in. The new Rebel chick is fun.

Glad to hear you're still around! I'm gonna try out your deck setup with thrawn, the deck that got me to rank 6 is just too easily AOE countered.

That being said I've run into a similar wall with cassian on the other side. A good Boba or Tarkin will shut me down consistently. I've switched from using the Gonk to using the partisans now that they're lvl 5 and with adrenal boost they SHRED clumps.

1) Who is the most commonly-used leader among the top players, making up a staggering 30% of their faction's top 200?

I think my favorite thing about Bossk now is that because he's so rarely seen, you can get a lot of sorta unearned wins on leaders who aren't used to your snare and get themselves killed in situations that would be possible to escape against other ranged leaders. This is especially effective when you manage to stop a suicide leader just short of your turret, so I actually like his matchup against melees and semi-melees. He fares much more poorly though against leaders who can play effectively by hanging back and drawing incremental battlefield advantages, such as Cassian and Han

Now let me take a big sip of water and see how much of the Rebel metagame those two leaders make up

idk if it's that great but here's what I've got knocking on the door to 6:

Death Troopers (unique)
Dewback
Stun Grenade
Sandtrooper
Dev Bladesmen
Stormtroopers
and a final slot that keeps flipping between: Imperial Stickmen, Light Vehicle tank, rocket trooper and Heavy gunners. If I take the stickmen I'll usually replace Dewback with something that shoots.



Nothing fancy about the strategy. Always drop DT's waaaaay back on the field, and then put a meat shield in front of them before the two runners start to cross into no-deploy land. Best time to go after a turret is after a real juicy stun grenade drop where you killed a hero, use your hero power to make that happen or go after a turret depending on the timing. Krennic's just a real solid middle of the road generalist imo, just keep playing smart with your deployments and you'll eventually have the advantage, use DT's to make a real push.

The thing I really like about this deck is getting DT's and a melee in your first hand and jumping in fast against people who are used to both heroes sitting and doing nothing until you both hit 10 energy, or even better, when someone starts walking toward DT's and get a melee dropped directly onto their hero.

The obvious weakness is no TIE fighter, but I've always been of the opinion that crowd control is better handled with the fiddlier units and smart deployments in front of a sand trooper.

I have to assume you've tried already Val, but have you tried having some sort of stylus tip thing on your nose while playing? Still having probs? idk, I'm like...personally bothered that something like this game would suddenly become lovely by way of unknown control problems that are specifically loving up someone who has to play with their nose.

The only problem with Pryce is that once she gets tangled up in combat, she usually doesn't survive. If you stay away from the fray that's not so much of a problem but you're also depriving yourself of hero DPS doing that. I've gone back and forth with Pryce but the higher in rank I got the more I would rather have other 3 cost units.

I'm still having some issues, but I'm trying to play around them. The problem with a stylus is my vision really sucks (like 20/250+), so I can't see if my eyes get further away.

I would almost like to see the same kind of stats but with the different units, although that's hell of a lot more work than just seeing which leaders are the most popular. I imagine there is a ton of 0% usage on some of the units and buildings, at least when it comes to 1v1

I'll see if I can't do that when I run the leader stats this Sunday. I may use a smaller sample size though because like you said, lots of work otherwise

Try to build up slow pushes, drop stun grenade and your special on enemy leaders whenever they try to get involved. He has strong kill pressure but he really needs to make big brawls happen on the map, he's ill-suited to both chip and suicide

The higher I got in rank the more true this became. My best decks I can win with all have things that can survive at least 1 AOE. The higher in rank I get him the meaner the Keredian Partisan gets too, that guy is really good. Defense is the name of the game though. Whoever can crack the enemy first, get the hero kill, and survive long enough to take a turret first usually wins in aurodium.
