Rubicon posted:just started and dropped the cash for the HK47 pack. I've always liked him. Allies get your most recently used leader although I'm not sure if it pulls from LS/DS/Cantina battles independently or what. Also you will probably want to farm Poggle the Lesser from the galactic war once you hit level 40. Luminara is a better character overall and also farmable from GW but Poggle owns with droid teams.

thechalkoutline posted:I just started and am trying to figure out what guys I'm supposed to go for, what # of what roles do you need in your standard party? There's no hard and fast rule but two healers, one tank and two damage dealers is a good mix for a single party. It's gets murkier because light side and dark side are segregated in PvE but can mix together in cantina and PvP. Dark side only has two healers and one of them is lovely (Talia) although Old Daka can be farmed from cantina shipments.

I think the heroine pack is probably better than the force awakens one. Kylo looks good but Finn looks pretty meh. Barriss is still good, especially in galactic war where you want that sustainability. Ahsako and Asaji are decent but mediocre. Both of them can be farmed but should probably come second after Sidious and Daka.

OxMan posted:I used to fear luminara but barista coffee is my new (darth) bane. Even in best case scenario focus her down fights she'll still get off at least a heal. Don't focus her down, she's weak against aoe damage since her heal is so weak. My arena team has decent aoe and a lot of the time they don't even do enough damage to trigger her heal first turn. Then I can focus down a squishy before her second turn.

The top teams on my server run Qui-Gon leader with Old Ben and Lumi. Old Ben gets his debuff off and you're basically hosed after that. Qui-Gon is still ridiculous after the nerf too. He does ridiculous damage damage with his assist ability, has a great leader skill and can remove a buff to give his team offense up. I'd be surprised if he doesn't eat another nerf.

Chilichimp posted:Mace Windu does it on every basic attack, I'm pretty sure. Nope, Mace Windu's basic attack only gives him a chance at defense up and doing more damage with defense up. His special attack removes buffs but does nothing else while Qui-Gon removes the buff and gives his entire team offense up. Qui-Gon is already amazing but if you look at his abilities at level 8 it gets loving bonkers. His assist skill at level 78 gives 75% more damage to assist and heals the assist for 20%. His basic attack gets a 65% chance to remove turn meter on hit in addition with the turn meter gain to Qui-Gon. His leader skill, increase speed by 23, will apply to all allies instead of just Jedi. It's insane especially considering he's already really good right now. Also Old Ben inflicts debuffs, he doesn't remove them. AFAIK, only Ackbar and Lobot can remove their team's debuffs and neither one of them have a ton of tenacity. I mean, they should because by far the worst debuff ability is Old Ben that inflicts offense down AND ability block. Of course you can't cleanse if you're ability blocked and you have a useless slow Ackbar. In other news, CG is bringing back the crystal subscription pack. It's going to be 100 crystals a day for 21 days plus an immediate 100 crystals. They didn't actually say how much it's going to cost but they did say it's 149% of the standard value so people think it's going to cost $10. https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/7259/daily-crystal-booster-packs-returning/p1

Malgrin posted:FO attackers have double the chance, which I think is 36% at max level (for level 70). I've heard that FO Officer hits like a truck with his pinning shot and his basic if everyone has advantage. His other ability is kinda garbage and I imagine AI uses it on defense but he's also super fast so it's likely that he can get pinning shot off on someone with mostly full turn meter. I'd like to get him but there's way too many good people in the cantina shipments. I'd want to finish up Poe and QGJ and even then, maybe move on to Fives or whoever is added in the patch. FO Stormtrooper is ok but basically overshadowed by Fives in almost every category. I mean come on, it's not worth using a turn to get defense up and advantage. He does get double assist chance with Phasma but I'd rather replace him with someone that hits harder or heals or has some utility.

I know there have been people like that posting in this thread, it's not just imgur whales. If you could only hold say 1000 cantina coins or something it would help. There's already a cap on how much currency you can spend and you have to pay crystals to bypass it. Having a cap on how much you can hold doesn't make EA any money.

tadashi posted:Why isn't Barriss considered a must-have character? Or is she? Her free heals are amazing. I guess it's just because access to getting her is fairly limited for a while? Yeah, she was super limited until recently. She's also not good in arena since her nerf. There was a dude called Tenks on my server that used a Barriss leader for the last 2 months and a few days he finally switched to Phasma. End of an era, he was always a guaranteed arena win. I'd recommend new players get her from cantina since she makes PvE matches so much easier, especially GW.

My Phasma just procced an extra attack with her victory march so that change must not be live yet. The shard shop is pretty disappointing but at least super whales won't be able to get the exclusive character quickly since you can't refresh it. I'm not a fan of some of the UI changes. Having tiny icons of gear by every single character is so busy and hurts my eyes. It's cool that you can see arena teams now but that screen is also very busy. It's now more difficult to see what rank people are while their team's level is super prominently displayed for some reason.

Also I've heard that Anakin isn't very good. Ahsoka I know isn't very good in the current meta. If battles lasted longer than her heals would come into play but for now you can ignore her. QGJ is good but not worth $60 even with the credits, mats and crystals added in.

The speed nerf is pretty minor and only makes Poe slower than two characters but the big change was the removal of speed tiers and the activation of speed leader abilities on the first turn. Now QGJ and other characters will always go before Poe, giving you a chance to kill him before he does his bullshit. Poe is still good though and people are overreacting about how bad he is. Still the larger issue is the lack of communication from the devs. The patch notes didn't mention anything about the speed changes, either the removal of tiers or the leader abilities working first turn and it's a huge shift in the meta. Yoda is pretty fast too apparently.

Yoda looks pretty good. Mine's only partially gear 7 at 5 stars but it's enough to get a feel for him. His single target special does decent damage at this but the rest of his specials and basic don't hit too hard although that might change with more gear, star and ability levels. He's definitely very squishy but his skillset looks super powerful. With QGJ lead, he's going first. Seriously, he's the fourth fastest character according to the datamine before the QGJ leader skill. So he goes first and does a basic attack and gets foresight and some turn meter. The enemy team will get a turn and may or may not kill him since foresight is a guaranteed miss. His second turn is going to come quick and hopefully the enemy team has some buffs to steal. That ability doesn't actually remove buffs from the enemies, just gives them to Yoda but it looks like it can be resisted anyway. Of course if someone is below 50% you can use the single target special and get a stun or a kill. That one has a 5 turn cooldown though, it probably gets reduced with levels. I also like the buff propagation special. Imagine giving foresight to your entire team, especially since people don't use much AoE although likely you'd want to have a couple buffs at least to make it worth using. I think he's worth farming other Jedi for, I'm definitely shooting for a 7* Yoda next month.

QGJ is a much better use for cantina shipments although he might be next up for the nerf bat.

Resistance pilot is a good substitute for FOTP since he's so much more farmable. It does seem like his basic hits harder than his special although as Malgrin mentioned, you probably want to lead off with the special. He's also really good in an assist team since he can get over 40% turn meter with a crit on his basic. He's also tankier than FOTP with a little more health, armor and the foresight self-buff.
