So QGJ is chomping at the bit to do a t7 raid, and I think we are right on the precipice of being able to pull it off, but I would feel much more comfortable if we had one or two more heavy hitters to help push us through. Would any of IGD's guys be willing to come join us for a bit?

Yeah, I'm down to help. FC is 115-898-334

2 days of cantina for Kylo shards. Zero shards I am not even sure how remote the statistical likely hood of this happening but drat game I don't even like Kylo I just need the warm body for phasma to carry around. There are so many teams I need to fill out it really makes you see the grind when your collecting warn body's to fill x type squad. Just a few more guys left and I can go back to wasting resources on bad toons of my choosing. :bang:

I pulled a dick move on my arena team. I'm now running AA (L), Lando, STH, Emperor, QGJ. Including AA's buff, my speeds are now: AA - 188, Lando - 187, STH - 173, Emp - 177, QGJ - 164. This means that AA goes first, and when controlled by AI, he always uses Tac genius first. Then Lando goes and uses his AOE. Assuming he gets 2 crits (46% so pretty good chance), he then gets crit chance up, attacks immediately again, and gets to use his AOE again, which now has crit up and deals 100% more damage. This is followed by Emperor's stun everybody and an STH taunt. Then QGJ goes and removes RG's taunt -- cause let's face it, after Lando double AOEs, he is going to be taunting.

I would recommend this team and reordering your speed until you have this order, it's pretty amazing. It's also holding up better on defense than I have been lately (currently rank 18). I'm still unable to break into top 5 because their emperors are just too fast. Apparently running Wiggs means that speed is a lot more important though, so I'm going back to working on that and then returning to mod farming later.

What mods are you running there?

And a more general question as someone who doesn't really pay attention to mods how does it really work? Do you go farm the challenge you want then spend 200k to get it to 12 to see if it has the bonuses you want and if not you ignore it and try again? I hit top 20 with just having a handful of mods but feel I want to make a push for top 10 again.

Oh man I need another mod appreciation weekend. So much money saved on that. Finally 240 some odd energy and the game spit out that last Kylo shard to unlock him. So anyone use him and can he be made good? I am just wondering if I should put much more resources in him than it would take to drag him through the mod challenge. I am just not sure what type of team he would be good for.

Speed primary and secondary stats are pretty much the only thing I care about. Crit damage is also good, and potency is good on some. Anything else I go for Protection, except the two mods that have to be offence or defense. For sets, really whatever you can get. Crit dam and speed are the best sets, followed by crit % and potency as filler. For tanks, potency and defense sets are really good. However, because of precrafting 2.0, I am still primarily running health and defense set mods, although I am starting to have some crit % and potency sets.

Yes and no. If you have poo poo mods, you should level any mod that has one of the primaries I listed above. With one exception (speed), primary is a lot more important than secondaries. So, with the exception of speed and crit dam primaries, I sell all white mods (as well as any non 5* mods, except 3 and 4* speed mods). After that, if a mod starts with 2 or 3 secondaries and one of them is good, like speed, flat prot or crit %, I level it to see the full set of secondaries. If it's like prot %, health %, and flat health, I will probably sell it. %stats are pretty bad - 3% (a pretty high roll) prot is 600 on the tankiest of tanks. A good flat roll is 2-3k.
If your mod doesn't already come with speed secondary, the highest you can get by upgrading the mod is about a 5. By comparison, I have rolled an 11 off a higher quality mod with speed on it.

Does that make more sense?

For dealing with the fast emperors, consider using Yoda. I've started using him on every fight against an enemy emperor, regardless of speed, because he completely shuts their first attack down.

I'm also really close to getting an arena ready Tarkin, who on paper at least looks like he should do well with the emperor.

They need to make a 100% mod drop rate weekend. I got 0 mods in my last 8 pulls, wtf. I have like 50 of the stupid rectangle offense mods and no arrows or triangles. Mods loving suck rear end.

Kylo sucks rear end too, but I still got him 7* ready, G7, and Im currently leveling him to 80 because he owns. I dont care if he does no damage, him and his moves look cool.

When 60 was the level cap I kept rank 1 for like 3 weeks with plasma lead, kylo, Sid, Lum, fotp. 3 first order was so many attacks.

How cg could make Kylo better. Have him fanboy anytime he is in a squad with Vader. If he is squared with any form of han he is crying while han tells dad jokes. If the entire team is made up of his family members he stands in the corner of the screen and pouts while they all ask him about his feelings.

It'd actually be great if characters could have "vendettas" or something. If Kylo kills (or is in a squad that kills?) Han then he gets offense up and exposed, something like that.

My new arena team is really quite awesome: https://swgoh.gg/u/twostep/ (Wedge/Biggs/Emp/Lando/Sun Fac)

Currently holding on to #1 2 hours after my payout. I have the first 7* wedge I have seen on my shard, and I think people are too scared to attack or are losing to me. Kinda glad I whaled on Wedge some when he was first out (got him to 5*, then discovered he was bad, so I stopped buying Aurodium packs). My big dilemma is if I should swap out Lando for either STH or Anakin. My Anakin isn't quite done yet, but I feel like he might be better than Lando. I do kinda like only running one sort of tank in Sun Fac, because I can beat most teams in less than a minute, and I still don't have Wedge fully omega'd and need a gear level on Wedge and Biggs (If anyone else is working on these two, start saving up gear now. Wedge needs 3 different raid gear things at G9, and both of them need a ton of stupid cuffs, syringes, and other purple gear)

That would be so much better of mechanics than +x to stat vs y type mob. I dream of a land where sid does not dodge 20 Jedi attacks in a row while paired with lumi leads. Like wedge and Biggs could have bonuses when defeating tie pilots and neat stuff like that.

So, how are we going to handle the new raid? If it indeed only drops 6* mods and R2D2(?) shards, could we perhaps alternate between them? I imagine most people still need raid rather gear than slightly better mods and many, myself included, would like to finish Han eventually.

Han has such good use as a Rebel and a Smuggler, that I'd say we should get him finished - I wonder if R2 is Droid and Rebel? And probably overpowered?

Given how every new character seems to be more overpowered than the last, I bet R2D2 is going to have some mass debuff that causes all attacks against those afflicted to be critical hits and lasts 3 turns.

Nah he's light side. It'll be a group buff that every attack is an undodgeable cry.

I still log in a few times a day and do my fairly insignificant part on the raids for GGA. I'm pretty bad at this game but the guild part really helps with shards and parts, also having high level allies is great.
