Just got my droid callers. Should I G9 daka, qgj or rg? Running all three on my arena team.

Edit - gave it to QGJ since he's the squishiest and useful in GW and raid as well.

Dooku G8 - furnace
Rey G9 - Nubian design tech
QGJ G9 - Nubian security scanner
Daka G8 - Droid caller
RG G8 - Droid caller

I have actually seen NSI in top 100 teams in my shard. She's really tanky, deals good damage, good lifesteal, too slow to really matter. Probably good in gw but you're obviously not having any trouble there.

I've seen her too and it always kind of baffles me. You can build a whole team out of GW shard characters that are better than NSI.

I'm gonna second the shard shop recommendation. Might as well turn your GW bux into something you can spend on people you might actually use.

All this said, I think that when we move to the next set of stages (level 9 hard), having a strong NS squad is probably a good idea. Talia or Asajj led Daka, NI, NA is actually pretty good, from what I've heard. We'll also probably get Mother Talzin at some point...she played a HUGE role in the clone wars (especially compared to Talia and Daka), and they've pulled more characters from that show than anywhere else. So probably just get NI and leave NA out of it. Having a synergistic squad that includes two healers and a self-healer is pretty good for 3* missions.


Also Talia's level 7 leader is pretty awesome: +16% evade to NS, half to others, 50% chance to heal 5% max hp on evade.

I'd build a Jawa squad. Given their past history, I think it is likely that they will end up making events that need squads of all the various factions/sub groups, so making sure you have at least 2 or 3 of every kind of dude seems like a good idea to me

I'm glad that we have a break from level cap increases so thatI can stockpile some credits up. Hopefully this lasts for a bit so I can start building up more squads.

Also I have to say I really like my Dookie, RG, Rey, QGJ, Daka arena squad. I'm pretty much able to auto mode and stay in the top 20 on my shard.

Dunno how you can stockpile credits when 7* promotions cost a million. I'm almost through my backlog and haven't been able to level anyone for a while.

I've only been promoting people who I plan on trying to level. It makes it easier to slow through the credit burn.

Just got my first character to gear 11 - QGJ. At level 80 7* he has a bit over 30k combined health/protection and 240% potency. Every gear slot at this point is a placeholder, so he's done until the next level cap.

I'm also happy that we're having this lull, since I've had a bunch of characters hit 7* and I'm also trying to push my important non-arena ones from 70 where they were stalled before the last level cap increase.

Exactly this, I already have 4 characters who are unlocked only and sitting at max shards, with 2 more nearly there, no money to level or promote them. I figure it will take at least 3 months without a level increase to get my whole roster flushed out, something like 80-90 million credits.

If they could release a raid that isn't massively loving annoying to actually run then that would be cool.

I'm just hoping for ship battles next, really. If we get another level increase before we get ship battles then I'll probably just stop playing.

Woohoo, just finished 7* for STH and AA...although neither are level 80 and I haven't paid for that 7th yet...so...probably need 6 million between them. Oh well, at least they're G7/G8, level 70 and 74, so, most of the way there.

For now, I'm looking at AA, STH, Leia, Rey, QGJ. It's also possible that Phasma will just be better than AA as leader, and then maybe RG is better than STH. So then it would just be Leia for Daka, which is cool too. Leia teams scare the hell out of me right now, especially when she's got like 15k + protection.

Actually I was wondering are there any particular leaders people would like for the times we can borrow. I mean things like missions and challenges and such? Also how do I insure you get the right leader? I imagine most of us have all the major leaders, but it could help up and coming people by letting them do stuff like not farm dakka early.

Mal said in guild chat that it's your last used leader, period. So I guess, after you're done with arena, do your 3x challenge with the leader you want to donate, or maybe GW?

Noo, sorry. The last leader you used, period, shows your leader in your icon, so like if someone clicks on your profile. It saves a different leader for Cantina, Challenges, Light Side, and Dark Side missions.


e: Also, important note, if you used Dooku, Sidious, Daka, Phasma, and RG the last time you ran a mission, you won't see any of those as leader options in your next mission. So, if ALL of your friends run Dooku, Daka, or Phasma as leaders in Dark Side Hard missions, you won't be able to borrow those until you run a mission without those leaders.

Still can't 3* DS 7D hard. I want to farm Anakin now...

another edit: I take that back. Just beat it on the third attempt today.

I'm also clearing the rest of Cantina today, it's actually not too bad, I just hadn't bothered. Running Daka and Elder have given me easy 3*s in every mission. I'm running Barriss lead, and have been borrowing Lumi, but for this last mission (Anakin's) I'm running Dooku cause I ran out of Lumis.

Pretty meh. Phasma is an all-star...I'd probably farm Phasma then Teebo from GW. Once you have access to Cantina levels 6, definitely focus on Barriss, but until then, maybe do Old Ben? Some people are saying that Lando is pretty good, so you could also consider him. Chewie has some decent uses for raids, and Talia is good for a nightsister squad.

Dengar, Bosk, and IG88 have all been fan favorite Boba Fett alternatives for a long time, even though they are in like two scenes with zero lines.

The Rogue One movie that's coming out is technically like perfect for the character to be in (it takes place during the time he was doing poo poo and I guess there's a bounty hunter aspect to the movie) but he seems like a weird person to bring back since he's the only "human" one and the others can just be CGId to look like they did in the original trilogy.

Dengar, Bosk, and 88 all had roles in the Clone Wars show. I'm still wondering where the hell Hondo is. I doubt that the upcoming movie has much to do with who they are releasing. The most recent additions were Wedge, B2 Super Battle Droid, Han Solo, Gamorrean Guard, Echo, Sun Fac, and Jawa engineer, in no particular order. When you consider all those characters, does it really seem that strange that Dengar was just added? Oh yeah, and then there's another random scoundrel from the Clone Wars being added in the next patch.
