It's not about butthole pleasures
Lipstick Apathy
Hi there.

EA Games has released a Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes clone for the LOTR IP. I am bringing you this summary post as a member of the SWGOH goon discord and also as your friend in christ.

First off: Join the discord. We have literally 7 years of experience with heroes games and will advise you accordingly. Plus we are fun:
https://discord.gg/gXEKgMxg

Secondly, this is NOT A GACHA. Don't buy character chests with your gems that's not how this works. You will use gems for energy to farm your toons (and gear).

The goon guild is Something Smaugful, which you can search for/apply for when you hit level 10. Give us the high sign (here or in discord) when you apply so we know you're not a nasssssty pubbsie


Here are some more links:

It was mentioned in the OP but bears repeating:

DO NOT SPEND GEMS ON CHESTS!

Games like this are a marathon with long term development of your roster and resource management.

If SW:GOH didn't make you miserable enough, this ought to do a great job of putting you over the top.

I hope I won't be bottlenecked farming infinite pipeweed to take my characters to gear level 8.

Cool, always wanted to give one of these a try before the power creep made the farming unbearable.

Just applied to the guild as RingBear.

I updated the OP with a better beginner guide and a link to the gg site, which has a ton of info including a tier list.

Jeez, I've played enough of these to have intuited most of the tips, but i do disagree with the hobbits being that bad a choice especially if you're f2p, doing the hobbit adventure gets you a 3 star you can slot into another team of 3/4 star hobbits and is probably the easiest team to power boost to clear the campaign. Plus these games usually will have another hobbit or road to rivendell gandalf the gray on a horse pop up to fill the team out later. I got the 4 star grozh whatever fella and then been pumping pippin and I'm still doing well with tier 5 gear (barely hitting mid 30s). Found it a lot harder to pump Eowyns folks fwiw, mostly cause they start at lower stars to begin with. Eowyn herself is a beast tho.

Any room in the guild? I do like having EowynsSweatySupportStraps by my name but it is a tad lonely...

3 days in and the F2P route ain’t to bad. I haven’t noticed any hero’s blocked by a paywall yet either as everyone seems to be grind-able or purchased with earn-able currencies

Yeah, that's basically their MO. Everything is obtainable, it's just a grind.

Nurraz seems like a real good candidate for another orc to level along the starter orcs and ghazh.

I think this is fixed. Not sure why it broke I didn't think those things expired.

Welp, just got a message that this is gone in May. I actually appreciated that I was able to progress pretty well without spending money
