The EA is strong in this one. Bought 8 cards in a moment of curiosity/weakness and got... The First order officer***, half a dozen shards for other characters and uh... Not much. Terrible. Did figure out the 2*50 crystals thing for getting some more tickets per Day, but both the energy and shard gain is terrible compared to future fight. I think my jawa is my most killy character at this point, but the FOO is pretty good too.

It would be pretty smart of them to hand out daily 1-3 star random packs like FF. Maybe it's because heroes has fewer characters still. My code is 297-646-178, not that Im sure what that does yet.

At lvl 42 now and got Chewie up to 4 stars with the Consular next, Asajj, Ahsoka and Luminara are coming along too, will have to get on Sidious, Old Daka, Phasma, Rey between that (too many characters, too little energon cubes  ). Grinding the 5xshards per day characters are easy enough, but the Hardx12 are just a pain of randomness (looking at you Dooku).I haven't yet actually unlocked any characters this way, do they always start at 1 star? (gg getting Dooku up to a decent star rating if that's the case, what - hundreds of shards for 3 stars?). Anyone know if there's a full character rooster somewhere? Either I can't navigate the EA site or its kinda garbage with information. Like, I know I've seen old school Chewie with the ammo belt and bowcaster, but the one I got is the prequel version with the wooden weapon - how does that work? Seems to be a number of characters with several different versions, are those "unlocked" at higher stars or can you have like a full team of Leia/Han/Lukes/Obi-Wan from all their own 3-5 different versions?

kaschei posted:swgohcantina.com has all the playable characters, there are AI-only versions of characters (like Jedi Luke) but the only character that has two playable versions I can think of is Jedi Knight Anakin/Darth Vader. Ah, okay. That would explain it. Maybe they'll introduce them as alternative costumes, unless there's some reason to have different abilities / dark or light side version (maybe a limit to 1 of a certain character in a team). Still, I'd like to see an all Chewie or Obi-Wan team  e: speaking of Anakin, just had a run in with him in the Squad battle trying to get below 500 and wow, I beat up his team easy enough (Talia/Consular as healers, Chewie as tank and Phasma I think) but Anakin... he attacked like twice for each turn, did his AoE thing that landed 900-1100 damage on everyone and then his basic attack that could do the same. Too much HP to kill quickly so I had to go for the healers first, and despite managing that and having a unit advantage Anakin just slaughtered my team

That is a little weird, why the low limit? You'd think theyd capitalize on the social aspect more than just the fb connect thing and the minor bonus of a 6th party member on demand. Speaking of GW, ran into Ace Windows, Ben Reilly and Kitten Fister backed up by Council-man and Cat Woman. I killed Oboy-When first  Lucky my C team of lvl 2 anonymous resistance pilot and lvl 1 Ewoklas could finish the job. Question: If you buy a pack with characters you already have, do you Only get the bonus shards/credits, or do you also get more shards corresponding to the star level of the char you got? Example: You already got IG-86 at 4 stars, but buy the bundle containing him at 1 stars + 15 shards, do you only get the +15 shards?

Didn't think about sending in the poo poo-team *first* once the going gets tough just to eat the wave of first strike attacks and special abilities, pretty smart actually. As for the purchase of character packs and the shard value (=star value), have you actually tested it? Would suck real bad to be out a bunch of shards at these prices.

Had a go at a 300-something 9000 power rating running luke as the leader, thinking I can handle a Luke. I get in and there's a Rey there too, with Poe tanking and Talia/Consul healing. Got wrecked pretty hard, expose and first turn by 2200+ damage Luke and Rey is bloody brutal, even their basics did around 1000. Couldnt land my only debuff to get rid of Poe taunt either and two healers on top of that = dead. Im starting to see the appeal of Sid.

Maybe Ahsoka? Dont require many shards to lvl and I got her at 2* The Magnaguard is tempting with all the jedi running around, but he doesn’t work on Sith, Right?

More Dark Side units should really have "vampiric" style self/friend healing or remove positive buff get heal yada yada. It's a little weird that the "Damage enemy Get Heal" is so common for the light side healers in comparison. You'd think they'd lean more on the self-sacrifice vs selfishness if they'd want to be thematic and still have Dark Side healing. Or just make a dark side Coffee Barista. Maybe some form of robot healer (more Dark Side Robots right now) that does +X% heal of other robots vs -Y% heal of living people (there's that awesome looking black 3-CPOish droid or... G0-T0). ...just add all the droids, ever. Roll out the BD-3000, Techno Union Team

The Royal Guard really should have a manual taunt. Savage Opress could have a taunt I guess, fits the character. He or Maul, but then I'd have to bring those guys. Uhh, guess there's the vanilla Stormtrooper taunt... Maybe Grievous will have a taunt whenever they add him. With the right sound effects. Twice as effective vs Jedi!

From facing Fives he's Kinda like a better FO stormtrooper? His basic got a speed debuff and he gets counter, so any attack against him that trigger counter also applies the speed debuff. Guessing he's real good with Phasma and/or more Clones. Got Luminara now from GW at rank 3, not quite there yet to replace Councilar, also Holy poo poo am I short on XP drones. 1,2 mill in the bank and I can't spend it, wish basic fights granted xp like in Future Fight.

Zotix posted:Spend crystals on cantina energy. I do, still not enough when unlocking 2 new characters at lvl 46 *and* trying to keep my A-team tapped up (let alone the B-team)  But maybe I'll unlock keycard battles soon and that will help, I was really short on cash before unlocking GW - it's not very beginner friendly the way the game is set up right now compared to M:FF (but maybe they have had more time to figure that out). As for Asajj: Yeah she's poo poo slow for some weird reason, it's not like she does super damage or is really tanky, so I'm not really sure what they were thinking there. Her archetype certainly doesn't scream "slower than Jabba". Her base speed is 75 and maxes out at 86. Compare to: Barris: 100 base Ahsoka: 85 base Admiral Ackbar: 80 base (She's slower than "It's a trap!") http://www.swgohcantina.com/character-stats/ She's the slowest in the game and the only one at 75 base speed for some reason*. The speed stat seems kinda arbritrary set, Vader, Dooku and Poggle is at 100 for example. Over half the characters are at 100 with 8 at 85 and the rest at 80 exception for Asajj. There's one plus side, and that is that she always goes last at start so she can hopefully manage to pop the enemy buffs with her special, and with say Phasma on she might get some bonus attacks in to make up for her slow speed otherwise. *Apparently she maxed out at 104 speed in the beta which was considered OP, so uh... "that school" of balancing I guess. Pimpmust fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Dec 30, 2015 |

Like that rear end in a top hat who came out of nowhere with a lvl 47 4 star Sid and a 13 628 power rating (when everyone else is around 10 000, lvl 44-46) who took my #334 spot from #392 right now  Had a draw fight with a dude who had a Phasma and a high lvl FO Pilot, drat does that dude hit like a bunch of bricks! Very squishy though. I really need some more 4-stars, this just aint' cutting it on the damage front. e: Is the Strength in Allies achievement broken? Says I got 14/25 when my whole drat ally list if full (35 people). Does it only count people you add yourself, not the ones who send an ally request?

Probably not a super whale, just some guy who've stayed away from PVP until he got his Sid up. I'm having hell of a time dealing with all these Phasma teams, can't kill her fast enough (got pretty good HP) before she does both her specials and buffs the poo poo out of the enemy team, and there's usually 2 healers + Chewie to either heal the damage done or take fire for another couple of turns, either I'm doing draws or defeats right now  My team: Chewie at 5 stars Consular 3 stars Talia 3 stars And then some combination of: Poe 3 stars FO Stormtrooper, 3 stars URoRRuRRR, 4 stars (but only lvl 43 to my other 45-46) Ahsoka, 2 stars, FO Officer, 3 stars Does iOS users go up against androids or is there some other reason for *everyone* having Phasma?

That's nice to hear, but who should I swap out for Lumia 950 once I get her up to speed? I suppose I should get her to at least 4 stars before going for Phasma. Can't quite grab all of GW yet, but enough to occasionally cash in on shipments twice so I've been gathering some Phasma on the side, might focus entirely on Lumia first though just to have her at a useful state.

You might not know this, but you can push the refresh button up in the right corner to get a new draw of opponents. No guarantee they won't have a Phasma/Dooku/Sid mixed in of course (man would I trade Poe for Phasma, what the hell). It's weird that you guys have power rating 10 000 at the 30s already, I'm at lvl 47 and people here have around 9.5 (lvl 43-45) up to 10k -10-5k at my level. Got Luminara up now and she's amazing, going to be even better once I get some blue upgrade tokens to get her powers up to scratch. Dark Coffee would be a pretty good idea for a dark side healer, don't even have to move Barris from the Light Side team (different versions and all). e: Wow, what a bullshit GW I got this time. Thought it was going to go well with Luminara and all, but nope. GW throws Dooku+Sid at me. Twice. And the second time it's Bane, Opress and Talia backing them up. Bye bye my Consular and Talia. Battle after that? Sid, Luminara, Opress, Phasma and Luke They open up with all attacking Asajj (Except for Sid who does the AOE).

My max lvl, plus Luminara and Dooku. Oh dear. E: sent Ahsoka and Urr to assassinate him, worked like a charm and I even bested GW for the first time Oh, and I got lucky again, 4 star Mace from Bronze.

They seem to be a little off the ball on this whole holiday event/bundles/sales opportunity compared to... Everyone. I think it takes way more shards to rank up at higher stars in FF but they are also super at giving out tons of chars and have good deals which helps new players. Tried out that jedi leader that grant counterattack chance to all jedi. Up against grenade troops, aoe trigger all my jedi and they team up to gonk the poo poo out of the trooper

Sent in a sacrifice squad but didn't trigger Phasma AoE slow, Poggle buffs offense up, Phasma can do PEN UP. Dooku does his poo poo and ability block, Lumy can heal or do massive damage with buffs.

Mezzanine posted:It works. It's considered a proc, so it's Asajj's potency versus each enemy's tenacity, and how many buffs it removes depends on how many skill upgrades Asajj has. I've got her in the high 50's and purple gear, she's a beast: I know how she works, its just that she doesn’t remove certain buffs even when she procs. Otherwise it says that they resisted and her heal doesn’t trigger.

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)

Luke seems to be one of the better Glas Cannon sorta attacker characters, maybe only beaten by the First Order TIE Fighter Pilot (who seems even more Glassy). Too bad the crystals-for-a-week deal ran out. Funny how Future Fight got a similar deal, for a similar prize, except for a whole drat month (asnd you don't really need to burn crystals on energy there either). Alas, from that devs responses they don't seem to be planning any crystal deals. Force-closing the app on iOS: Double-click the home/starty button, slide the program "up" and it closes. When you restart the GW game you were in has reset (so you can switch out team members and do a do-over), the AI will attack different characters and get other rolls - I think. Usefull if you find out that gunning for a certain character just aint' gonna work out.

I think that T5 trainer deal is always up, for 50-70 crystals (60 currently for me). It's not that good though beyond lvl 45 due to how steep the xp costs get. I burned like, 1 6 or 7 star trainer droid, 3x5 star and something like 200xT2 and T1 to get Phasma to lvl 45. And then I have to do it again with Sid soon, while getting Phasma to lvl 51-52 territory and urghhh.

Hopefully they patch in a little more sane line-up RNG into GW if they take away force-quitting and/or retreat, because when you are getting those AI murder teams several levels&gear above your best batch there's little you can do even with chaff to toss at them. e: Something that would be pretty great is that Preview function from Future Fight, except here you could put together any combination of team and have mock fights to test things out.

New dread combo in Arena: Phasma+Sid+Luke+Whatever (usually healers). That trio will kill one of my characters before I even get a turn, and usually Sid lands 2 DoTs on 2 characters+1 on the rest and takes of ~15-33% HP when their first turn is over. Managed to somehow claw back a victory against one such team, but only because it had Chewie instead of another healer or AoE/Attacker (ended with a shootout between my 3 star Phasma and his 4 Star, with my Phasma having about 500 health left  ).

Whoever suggested I stick with Asajj: Danke! Got her to gear lvl 7 now and her Strike Fear / Endless Wrath / Rampage to level 4, hot drat (only got her basic at lvl 3, but it got stun chance). The Off-up and Pen buff when an enemy dies is pretty beastly combined with her recharging AoE. Right now I'm pouring my Arena credits into Sid, might get him today, but then I'll look at either getting him to 5 stars or Asajj (might go with Asajj first due to her already having the gear while Sid levels up). Likewise I think I'm going 5 star Luminara before 5 star Phasma... maybe 6 star Talia, she's pretty beastly now too (and maybe eventually try out a Nightsister team led by Asajj for the speed buff). Ran into a fun PVP team, think it was lead by a 4 star Phasma or Chewie, but once inside it had Kylo Ren, Sid and Rey too (and I think Luminara for healing) - Rey just straight up murdered my JC with her 3-attack thing, but I defeated them thanks to being like 7 levels higher (53 vs 46, although that might have been the "bait" leader level - the power level was pretty similar). Rey or Luke are looking like pretty good Strikers, maybe luke first because he can be Cantina shard grinded while Rey only got one spot until I can unlock 5-D Hard on Dark Side (which seems to require like, lvl 60 dark side team with Daka for extra healing) - is the fully onlocked Dark Side lvl 5 normal battles something like 45-56 level range (on the tin)? Some of these places feels like you need to be at least 7 levels higher than the level of the enemies, just because of how the opening AI attacks can be staggered.

The grenading stormtroopers and a couple of Jedi Guardians with AoE can be pretty nasty too. Oh, and a full lineup of Sand people. gently caress those guys.

e: You mean the animation rigging? I suppose that's the reason (seems a pretty safe bet we'll get those guys eventually though). Working my way up the daily GW and man, a team with Phasma, FO Pilot, HK-47 (5 stars) and 4 star Maul is a real pain in the butt. FO-pilot attack 3 times in a row before my line gets to do anything  (solved by sacrificial pawn, but still) - Maul and FO Pilot especially nasty with AI buffs and Phasma leader ability.I do wonder a little about them replacing keycard battles entirely, doesn't seem like it would be that hard to just... lower the energy cost to make it worth doing?

Mk4 SoroSuub Keypad, needs 20 Mk4 SoroSuub Keypad Prototype salvage. And the same for the Mk 8 BlasTech Weapon Mod Prototype. The Mk3 is also a pain, but not purple pain. Lumi's ...two? slots at rank 6>7 is a pain to grind. Asajj was pretty easy, if I recall correctly. But poo poo like Mk 2 Sienar Holo Projector and that other +250 health component is my loving bottleneck, and the drop rate is horrendous. And you need 5, at least. Alright, enough whining about lovely drop rates and gear grind, I got some Arena choices to make (finally)! My current Arena team (At 53-54) is: Leader: Chewie (5 stars), gear lvl V (loving pain to grind for, lots of blastech and Sienar Holo Projectors), Power: 2872 Luminara Unduli (4 stars, soon 5 stars), gear lvl VI(7... in like a week, so much purple poo poo), Power: 3021 Asajj Ventress (4 stars), gear lvl VII, Power: 2964 Talia (5 stars), gear lvl VI, Power: 3175 JC (4 stars), gear lvl IV, Power: 2203 Now I'm lacking a little killy, and the team is probably pretty easy to exploit in arena with a Sid or high DPS so I got some possible benchers coming up: Sid (4 stars), gear lvl V (soon VI), Power: 2582. Pretty fresh, so still around lvl 3 abilities and no shards towards 5 stars. Phasma (4 stars), gear lvl V, Power: 2349. Skills between 3-4 (got leadership and fusillade at 4). No shards towards 5 (Lumi comes first, I figure). Others I could include: FO Stormtrooper (4 stars), Gear lvl V, Power: 2326. Skills at 2-3. Ahsoka Tano (4 stars), Gear lvl IV (soon at V), skills at 3-4. Grinding her shards is slow going though. Mace Windu (4 stars), Gear lvl IV, Power 1958 (behind on levels), Power: 2143. Slow grind here too. Poe (3 stars), Gear lvl 4, Skills at 2-3. Behind on levels at the moment, have been prioritizing getting Daka. I got Resistance Pilot, IG-86 and the FOTP but all at bottom lvls and in need of shards (can't get FOTP yet). Dooku is 6 shards away, but will be 3 stars. So, what sort of Arena team can I put together with this mess? Sid/Phasma for leader? Drop JC and Chewie? Grind up an Attacker like the Pilot of IG-86? A little tempted to do a Nightsisters team once I get Daka, with Asajj at the helm (speed buff). For Arena shipments I'm a little divided on pouring them into getting either Asajj or Sid to 5 stars, Asajj certainly got the gear level for it to maybe be worth it over Sid? Wierdly enough I'm oscillating wildly in arena, two days ago I couldn't break into 200 (After having been at ~130 for days) and today I'm back down at 141, and the only thng that changed was getting Asajj to purple

Talia is useful to keep tapped up because she's the only other dark side healer, her one weakness is probably that the AI will use her self-harming heal even if people are heal-blocked/she's the only one injured. Otherwise she's kinda tanky, hard hitting and got utility - while being very easy to grind (let's not ignore that part). Probably gonna drop her eventually in Arena, but it feels like Chewie and JC can be dropped before her?
