This is why I'm worried about running Old Ben. Yoda teams will just focus him first and steal all those crazy buffs. Seems like a super hard counter.

People at the top of the guild rankings get 50% more guild coins over people at the bottom. It adds up fast.

edit: those numbers are awful mal where did you get them.

You're using the wrong metric. If you compare the VERY bottom to the VERY top, sure, there's a huge difference, but that's not an accurate comparison. To make it to the very top, you have to spend a lot of crystals (at least in IGD) on both days to get there. In this case, so far (with ~9 hours to go on today's activities), Wrath has #1 with 1440, gaining 237 coins. I'm at 5th place, 702 energy, and 209 coins earned.. I estimate that I spent roughly 400 energy last night (I could optimize that a bit more, but that seems about average for me. That's with two refreshes last night and two today. Now that I'm level 80, I'm starting to save crystals...usually only do one refresh, but do two for light/dark/hard days. So, if we subtract 400 energy, that would be 302, which would be 20th place for ~180 crystals.

209 - 180 = 29. However, everyone on this list will have an opportunity to spend another 200ish energy before reset (9 hours + 45 + 45), so you could likely move up a couple spots from that.

Like I said, not ideal, but not as big of a deal as you think it is.

If people from Europe want to start Plo Goon, that's awesome. Please do. I'm just saying you aren't missing out on as much as you think you are.

I see 1-2 teams in the top 20 running Yoda. Also, if you kill Ben first, you are giving both teams crazy buffs. Yoda doesn't remove the buffs from their team.

No top teams on my shard run Yoda, it's all RG/Rey core in every single team in top 20 complemented by 3 of the following: Dooku, ST Han, Old Ben, Fives, QGJ, Geo Soldier, Leia if whale. My Jedi and that one dude's Evok furry fury squad are like the only two different teams :(

I realized that now that I've unlocked JK Guardian and Ahsoka Tano, I now have a potential 5 Jedi team of: Lumi, QGJ, JC, JK Guardian, and AT. I've been getting stomped on Chapter 5/6 Light missions. Is it worth investing in those two for sweet Jedi synergy in LS and GW?

Ahsoka is pretty decent post level 80 patch, but you're much better off putting Cantina tokens into maxing QGJ and Daka, and then probably Fives and HR Scout.

JKG is just bad. Read the last page for more info.

I don't know what the gently caress to do with my Galactic War shipments. I have Lumi at 7*, I have Phasma at 6* so I guess I could take her to 7. I just unlocked Teebo because I hear he's good against door guards but I just don't really know. Is anyone else in GW worth farming? I know Poggle and IG-86 are both good but a droid team is going to have to wait for after I waste my time on a f2p rebel team. I see Biggs there but I don't know if he's worth it for the rebel team.

Not a super star but he is farmable And usable. I have him on a assist team led by phasma and he slots in there quite nice. His passive if I remember correctly was indirectly buffed by the addition of protection. He is no qgj/ray/rg where he can be the foundation of a good team but he can out put decent damage and is not terrible by any stretch.

Hk(l), 88, 86, poggle, jawa engi is a rough loving team. They basicly get 2 turns before you get one, then 88 and hk each get a extra attack on aoe(from the turn meter on crit). And now you get to go after 2.5 turns of poggled droids smashing you. This was the 6th node in gw.

Preach it brother! Droids have some crazy synergy:

- Jawa Engineer gives +25% crit chance for 2 turns and +30% turn meter for the droids
- Poggle gives +50% attack and +25% speed for 3 loving turns aw yeah
- HK-47 leader gives +20% crit chance for all droids and +30% turn meter on crit WHAT. His AoE also adds debuffs everyone which boosts IG-88s crit damage by 10% each!

Basically this means the infamous IG brothers ALWAYS CRIT and you end up with all the turns. IG-88 and HK-47 crit so much with their AoE they get another turn STRAIGHT AWAY. It's sick. The other team sometimes doesn't even get a move!

Hk leader is 50% turn meter on crit when omega level. It's so retarded good with their crit rate. They stack turns so fast it's really amazing, hk and 88 are virtually guaranteed a turn right after aoe, most if not all will get a bonus turn every other turn. I am sure there are lots of ways around the team but it will hurt and somebody's going to die.

Edit to add my droid team is all 6* g9 levels 65-70 they as my b team with poggle and jawa engi have wrecked level 76ish 7* teams with only losing one guy. They have a new classification they don't get to be the b team they just go in and erase a pain in the rear end team.

The droid team with Engy is top-tier, but still suffers the same issue pre-Engy droid teams had, in that it can run out of gas. 86 and 88 are still very glassy, and in most teams I've played or seen you lose the tank the team used to run as protection in place of Engy who is also glassy. And Engy is the lynchpin, if he goes down early you'll be able to get some kills for sure, but unless RNG favors you and HK gets targeted over 86 and 88 you'll probably lose, especially if some of your big shots like 86's assist get dodged. Thankfully the new Droid looks like he's gonna help with that, and probably kick Poggle out of the lineup for good.

It depends entirely on his base numbers, like every other character except like QGJ.

Any clues whether Dengar is farmable or Chromium-exclusive?

Notes mentioned:

quote:

Characters who did not have abilities that did special damage but had Gear pieces that gave boosts to special damage have had those gear pieces changed out for pieces without the special damage bonuses.

But it's not clear if this means those heroes will get useful statistics instead or just maybe easier to farm pieces. If they either get useful statistics it's an arena buff, and if it takes away useless statistics it'll at least mean Poggle doesn't balloon your power level for considering GW opponents.

Should we be pulling these packs? I know you aren't supposed to do Chromium since you can't farm, but what about this one? I assume you can't farm this either, but it looks like you get a lot more.

arodium characters are only in the shop for a month or so, which means if you don't pull enough to 7* the character, you're stuck.

There is also a bit of info hinting at a new raid. It appears to involve a http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Armored_Assault_Tank and turrets that can be killed, possibly respawning like phase 1 of the rancor? There is also a special ability, called Airstrike, that happens in phase 3. Ill update as I find more info!
