Resistance Trooper with Poe leading is just an absolute monster on offense.

I haven't got a sense of what crystals should be spent on, as all the resources like energy seem real tight and kind of unforgiving. Early on, should they be saved for not-free pulls? On shipments that take crystals? On energy or something else?

Depends how casually you're going to be playing this game. If you're going all in, then you'll want to be using them for energy refills. Personally, I use them for pulls because I'm just playing this game to mash together my Star Wars mans.

How the gently caress does everyone I'm allied with and everyone I play against in Arena have Phasma? I've been playing since super early and I'd only have her if I was sacrificing Luminara, but most people seem to have both. Was she offered as a character pack I didn't notice or something?

This game really wants me to use Ahsoka I guess, I got her from bronzium and levelled her up to see how she is since my light side is a lot weaker than dark side. Turns out she's utter garbage due to only being 2 star and at the point I'm at I actually had to remove her from the team and fight with 4 people to ensure I get 3 stars on the mission since she just gets 2 shot by the droids with the 2k+ snipe attack. Now I've opened her 3 more times since, converting into shards and now she actually has a health pool, but a shame the damage is still half of what sidious does at a much slower speed.

They gave away the best leader that's not a "get lucky with a chromium draw" character, that's also farmable in Galactic War? And I got Poe? ...

She's an attacker type, so she should have pretty high damage. I've got her at 4 stars with gear one step below purple, and she hits pretty hard. Maybe not as much as my Lumi, but Lumi's at purple, so I dunno. She also doesn't have any kind of crit buff passives or anything, so in exchange for healing herself or the team on hit and having some decent dodge, she can't burst that well.

It's so much easier to get a Phasma than a Poe, and Poe is a very, very good character (currently a core member of my team).

She's still in my light side team due to lack of better options (my other options being clone trooper, ewok scout, and ewok elder), but can't even come close to arguing for a spot in squad, galactic war, or even Cantina, and so farming her gear to let her catch up just doesn't get priority since its the same gear I could be putting on my A team. Oh well.

I think I'd rather hold on to my arena points and see what they drop as new characters this month. Refreshing the arena to spend all the points quickly isn't a big deal.

The only risk with hoarding points is that they remove someone from the rotation that you might have wanted. Once they are gone, they are much harder to farm. Other games give a warning before removing characters like that, but EA/CG doesn't seem to be very pro-consumer so far.

They say it's the leader in their Arena squad but there's definitely someone on my ally list who shows up with Lando or Darth Vader depending on whether I'm doing light or dark side missions (and no it's not Mol Eliza) so I think there's something else going on for those.

All of the just +10 ones are randomly computer-generated as far as I can tell, you can see 3* Vaders and such which can't possibly exist for a human as he starts at 4*, and I've never seen them with names like 'Frank' rather than 'Kell' and dumb stuff like that.

GW is absolutely bullshit sometimes. My max level 51 team just encountered a level 60 team of all purples. I can scarecely move before they just completely obliterate my A team. I tried baiting them with a B-team of dudes and it doesn't matter because their normal attacks do too much damage anyway!

Yeah, the devs said they are going to tune GW, as the fights are not scaling correctly. Level 50s should not be fighting level 60s, although you can win if you use/abuse the retreat and force close methods.

Normally it works fine but I am getting smashed by 4-5k regular attack crits no matter what I do. I'm just gonna have to write off completing it today. I did get my 800 currency so it's not a total loss. I just wanted to go whole hog. I'm still 3 days away from 6* lumi at the rate I'm going.

It may be scaling to your player level and not your character level. I'm maxed at 60 but my A-team characters are all still mid to late 50's.. partially due to me wasting a lot of training items on B and C teams when I was struggling more at GW.

There's been some dev posts about coming patches on their forum, https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/3859/happy-new-year-from-capital-games/p3 Highlights: lvl 70 cap (from 60 currently) in january, with more missions and cantina battles to scale with it + new tiers of Gear and Ability upgrades for characters. These new missions will have new shard locations, maybe for characters that don't have any currently but nothing concrete. A major content update after that (maybe february or march, no set date yet). They are looking into credit earnings, many think it's too low to really level several heroes. New event system with long running events, but it's apparently flexible. Will probably see more stuff here. John Salera (below) is going to bring up the Phasma/Poe thing with the team, might be a cross-over sale or something down the pipe. Cross-over play between Android and iOS is in their backlog, but not a high priority currently (so 6+ months away, minimum I'd guess). quote:CG_JohnSalera wrote: quote:Below are some specific points I wanted to cover. Unrelated: Ran into a loving monster PVP team with Barris, Anakin, Sid, Phasma and Luminara (at rank 175, so we're not talking super low brackets here)

Hording Arena points is a perfectly viable 'strategy' once you have Sid maxxed out. They've said they're expanding the level cap by 10 this month, which will probably change up the Arena offerings. IMO, it's better to save your points for a new character and risk losing the opportunity to level up one of the current ones, given how unpredictable the balance changes are going to be coming up. kaschei posted:Yes, I just checked, he's switched to Kylo Ren/Lando, and there's only one "Ru Baruba Maral" in my allies list. Just did "Enter Battle" in Cantina (showed up as Kylo) and a Light Side mission (showed up as Lando). I think it changes the leader based on the last champ that was used in that specific game type by that person. Ergo, it'll never let you use Kylo for a light side fight or Lando for a dark side one.

I'd be at 0 credits too, if I had a big income of rank 5-6 XP bots. You get a few per day from GW, but far from enough to keep several teams tapped up (especially after lvl 45 or so).

Okay well the game gives you more than enough if you don't pump crystals into resets, which is reasonable. I mean I wouldn't say no to more but I use less than I earn every day and I'm up to 7 million.

I might stop buying resets for a while, idk. Paid 20 bucks for some crystals to use on refills and bought a bunch of Chromium packs... got an Ugnaught and a bunch of shards. Thanks game. The WORST character available, and I paid money for him. On a lighter note, I switched up my roster. Dropped the Jawa and subbed in a leveled up Luke and now I'm more reliably kicking rear end. What's the trick with the Force-close sploit in galactic war? I abused the poo poo out of 1st turn retreat today and couldn't be happier with the result.

Also, Holy poo poo player level 50 is a hell level. I've never completed all of the daily quests and burned both Cantina and Battle refreshes and not ended up at ~90% of the the next level, or more. As or now, I'm ~25% through 49 and I'm done for the day.

I don't have any of the shipment characters yet, although I get my Sidious today when arena reward comes in, but honestly I think Luke is my favorite character atm. Sometimes the RNG doesn't like him but usually he's giving himself a ton of turn meter and his crits hit for significantly more than anyone else on the squad. Luke will crit for 2k for me at 45 and everyone else crits around 1k.
