I am still getting comedy 3* teams on my last node, what's up with that?

The theory is that it is looking for teams with 120% or so of the power of the highest power arena team you have ever won with and can't find one, so it generates that goofy placeholder team. Supposedly you can break things even more by putting together a 40K power arena team of bad people that are given high power ratings by the game and then you get 3 broken teams at the end, but I think you just face those murder teams a little earlier. I wouldn't try this, because if they ever fix it, you might end up facing 6 murder teams at the end of your GW every day.

I just can't imagine them leaving GW as it is, as dumb as CG has been sometimes there was universal love for the updated GW before this last change, you can't keep ignoring what the people want even if it's not what they, as a developer, had in mind. They keep using the fallback of "we always wanted GW to be end-game content and it's supposed to be hard!" But guess what, the vast majority DIDN'T LIKE IT, so instead of trying to sway everyone onto your island of logic, just give the masses what they want and make new content. The Assault events IMO have been, for the most part, very well-designed, and are better end-game content than the GW grind every day. Keep doing stuff like that instead of trying to get people to see the light on GW, it will never happen.

I bite my tongue at you sir, Ewok event owns. I have no problems with them throwing bones at people who have more niche teams, but then again I'm biased since I've had Droids since day one. And at least they've been spreading the love around, every faction will get something eventually. Of course if you want to do well in EVERY event then yea, you probably have to either open the wallet or have been playing since the beginning. But there's nothing wrong with that.

Rey
QGJ
Phasma
Fives
Teebo
Rex (I know, P2W)
Ewok Elder
Yoda
GS
Savage Oppress? (I've heard)

That's where I'd start. Scout is also really good. Anyone with TM manipulation can be good if geared well enough (Chewie, Cad Bane). You also want people with slows...Phasma and Fives are already up there for that. Ackbar is a good utility hero, and a decent leader if you're running Luke/Leia.

Once you hit P4, you just want as much dps as you can get in...no one is going to survive more than a hit regardless. Rey, QGJ, and GS are the top tier of dps. After that, I'm not really sure. I don't like FOTP or Leia as much here because their damage is based on multi-hits (so more Rancor TM gain), but decent enough for P2/P3, but bad for P4. RP and Luke both have ok damage. Anyone with an assist will do well (including 86, Biggs, and Tusken Raider). Reading through swgoh.gg, it looks like Asajj has decent damage with good gear, but she's still slow if she isn't lead...so there's some room there for a nightsister squad (Asajj, Talia, Daka, NI). I've heard that Greedo spits out good damage -- after I finish Leia I'm split between working on him and Savage. Hoth Rebel Scout does good things for TM for your team. IG-88 if you have Jawa Engineer/Droids. Anakin is so tanky and does awesome things when his teammates die, so that makes me think he'd be good for raids. Lumi's force blast crits for a lot on p2/p3, but her heal is irrelevant in T7. Conceptually I like a Resistance squad - I think it would do good damage, Finn, Trooper, Pilot, Poe will all do good stuff together.

This is perfect thank you! I already have Phasma at G8 so shes next up then I'm gonna grind up 5's to 80.

I'm thinking about trying to use Cad since he will get used for the other event as well.

I find that ewoks are actually really good in all raid phases. For t7:
P1: teebo, elder, chirpa (or scout, I like chirpa better), qgj, phasma
P2/3: I did 200k+ with all the ewoks plus phasma or RG, but landing a slow with RG is tough

Other than that, Rey is always good. I like lumi to give some hard hitting healing. Ackbar is useful for t5 or lower p1 raids. Dooku is a useful leader sometimes, though it seems a lot harder to dodge in t7. There are people on Reddit that use yoda a lot, I haven't had much luck with him though.

Yoda giving your team foresight right before rancor slam is pretty nice.

Jawa has good damage, 50% chance to slow with omega basic, and potency to make it stick, and goes well with old Ben.

Old Ben can give o.Down and tm reduction and his leader skill can be great.

JKA does get 2 turns to Rancor's 1 as your team starts dying. Throw in a chance to give your team offense up when rancor is at >50% HP and I say he's decent.

A couple things for IGD members.

1) We're in P4. I've said this in chat, but I want people to hold off attacking unless they haven't already attacked. Get your first attack in and then wait. I want at least 40/50. I'm hoping people can hold off until at least 9am to finish the Rancor off. Get your first attack in!

2) I know we don't all have time to obssess over a phone game, but doing using energy daily is pretty important. I get it if you just want to log in once a day that's fine, but at least use the 2 50 crystal regular energy refreshes, plus whatever you have built up (so at least 120 cantina and 130+ regular per day). The only way we can start raids is if people use energy daily. This caps at 600. If everyone contributes 600 energy every day, we can do a T7 every 48 hours. If you log in every 12 hours, use all your regular energy, and do two regular refreshes per day, that works out to exactly 600 energy (and only costs 100 crystals). I'm not going to be strict about this, which just means we'll have to skip a T7 maybe once a week or something, which isn't a big deal, but at least try.

I can make all your dreams come true.
Creeping slowly through the low 70's means that Omega abilities are visible on the horizon. What order should I be spending Omega mats? Which abilities get the biggest bang for my buck? It's relevant now because I have to decide whose "+5% Damage" gets my juicy purps.

Was bored with my standard arena team, running all great characters over and over. Changed things up for fun. Lost every match in every combination. This game's balance can go straight to hell.

Rey's damage boost is the biggest. All of her abilities get +15%, and it's really worth it. I did the 1st and 3rd ability right away, but held off on the second for a bit. Daka's basic adds stun chance, which I found really worth it. QGJ's basic adds TM reduction (really good for raid, sometimes useful for GW/Arena). QGJ's buff removal adds a turn to off up, which I really liked.
I also like RG's special because he gets a bigger heal when others take damage. Super useful in Arena.

Anybody got any suggestion on who I should go for next in GW? I already have lumi, initiate, teebo, 86,& phasma.I was thinking either cad, poggle or dathca, but am not really sure who to go for, I've already got cad at 4 star somehow so I was leaning towards him.

It really depends on who you got. Like Malgrin I think you can't go wrong with any of Rey's abilities. Here are my thoughts on order: Leverage first if you don't run an assist team, because AI Rey will always lead with it. Basic next because it gets the most uses in general due to the long cool downs of your other attacks. Triple tap last.

Do you got Geo Soldat? His unique passive owns with omega, he gets so much drat turn meter its insane.

Qui Gon Jin's basic gives turn meter down which makes him really key for raid teams.

Phasma's victory march goes up to 90% to speed down, which I think is pretty good.

Daka's basic being omega'd is stun city and I use her a lot for GW due to that.

IG-86's assist call cool down reduction is nice since hes a slow character to begin with.
