Normal doesn't seem to have anything my toons particularly need right now, and hard I'm currently stuck on 9-B. Fuckin' level 86 Resistance assholes. As for the first part, I'm pretty terrible at recognizing what gear is what, and still have to rely on the game telling me who needs what and where to find it.

He's the definition of a counter-character in the current meta. Good to have him as a flex, but he definitely doesn't define the meta by himself.

I'm the opposite where I'll forget it's conditional on his buff and wonder why I can't target someone else  I need to give another try at clearing some of these LS stage 9 HMs so I can start trying for Baze.

Got K2 to G11, so they now have ridiculous protection, and I'm finishing GW with everyone at near max prot. Baze now has 28k/64k hp/prot, K2 has 27k/62k, and R2 has 24k/38k. Since R2 gets +50%/20%, that takes him to 36k/46k. This brings Baze to 32/69k and K2 to 30/66k. Jyn is zeta'd, which means they gain 3450/3300 prot per buff gained. Once Jyn hits G11, I'll test them out in arena, and by then I should be able to zeta K2, which will add an addition 1% max prot every time he takes damage.

Does anyone know why the non-Heroic HAAT so rarely drops gear I need? I have the usual stock of Goon Hivemind Approved (TM) characters and it's rare when the tank dies, that I get any piece of gear that as the little green "I can use it" dot.

The hero list in the OP, is that the priority i should get the heroes in? I haven't spent any arena currency yet and was wondering if i should pick Leia first since she only costs 25 hexagons. Decided to not eat 5 cheeseburgers today and got the $5 pack and luckily got a Count Dookie (who am i kidding, a cheeseburger here costs $15) Am closing in on the 2k-5k arena bracket; haven't lost a fight yet. (Not that impressive i guess since one can cherry pick the opponent) How should one in general pick arena members? Right now i am using 2 tanks (4* Chewie, 2* RG) and 2 healers (3* counsular, 3* vampire chick) as well as Count Dookie. I also have 3* Luke, 3* Veers.

Ineptitude posted:The hero list in the OP, is that the priority i should get the heroes in? Yes, the OP is kept up to date fairly well. Leia is fantastic early on, and is even helpful on a Rebel team later on. She can hit multiple times, and can stealth herself. Absolutely pick her up. Early on you can't do all that wrong, but I think 2 tanks is 1 more than you need. I'd prioritize RG, because Chewie will stop being useful pretty soon, but RG is useful in top level teams. Consular is the better healer of those two, so if you focus on one healer, have it be him. But I'd look to replacing him with either Luminara (relatively easy to farm from the Galactic War store) or Bariss (harder to level, but better because she can heal toons who have the "can't be healed" debuff) when you can, as they are both better. I'm only ranked 200-300 though, so plenty of people here can give way more elite opinions.

Ineptitude posted:The hero list in the OP, is that the priority i should get the heroes in? It's important to point out that the GOAL is to 7* these heroes, and no matter how much it costs to unlock these toons, in the end the amount of shards required is the same. So yes, Leia unlocks faster, but she's garbage until you get more stars/gear on her. We recommend STH first because you need scoundrels to run the bi-weekly heist events that will provide you with much needed credits to level your toons. Ineptitude posted:Decided to not eat 5 cheeseburgers today and got the $5 pack and luckily got a Count Dookie (who am i kidding, a cheeseburger here costs $15) WOOT! Good pull. Farm his hard nodes to star him up. He's very good for dark side missions and the support challenge. Ineptitude posted:Am closing in on the 2k-5k arena bracket; haven't lost a fight yet. (Not that impressive i guess since one can cherry pick the opponent) Tanks and healers is good for a while. The toons we recommend farming first (STH, Lando, Boba Fett) are all strong arena toons, you can use those 3 for a while. Right now, Arena is built around strong synergy characters, like wedge/biggs, Chirrut/Baze, etc. You might want to try to get Phoenix Squad characters after you've gotten Lando, STH, Boba 7*ed. They have decent low-end synergy and are useful for unlocking 2 and 2/5's of the big special events. The group-think hasn't settled that one yet. You can't really tackle any of the meta comps until you're in a guild and earning currency, and in fleet battles. the 3 scoundrels and Phoenix Squad will help you master all of the resource gathering modes required to build late-game meta squads.

They have decent low-end synergy and are useful for unlocking 2 and 2/5's of the big special events. The group-think hasn't settled that one yet. I still go back and forth on this, and I won't really have settled it until I see someone do it, and lets me know how it does in their arena bracket. There are a few real downsides with farming Phoenix. The first is probably just that you've got ~4-6 months until we see a Thrawn event again, so farming them now won't do much on that end. Additionally, Palp is in less than a month, so you also probably won't be ready for that event (although maybe 5*?). Finally, and you touched on this, but Landa, STH, and Boba are essential for so much in this game, and I think you should run Boba with basically whatever arena squad you run early on to counter the whale Chirruts you're going to see. Phoenix squad doesn't leave any space for running a 1-off, at the point you're running 4, a 5th is going to bring so much to the team in that additional unique, but Boba might actually still be better for you, which says a lot about my opinion of Rebels.

If someone is low level though and really wants Thrawn, you'd probably have to start farming soon, no? I mean yeah it's like half a year out but I can see it taking a month for Ezra and Hera each, and Sabine even longer, especially without guild currency or crystals for refreshes coming in as quickly. This is less of an issue for people at 85 obviously.

Thanks! I am working on Boba and Lando, am halfway to unlocking both. Gonna use arena credits on STH. Getting the hang of the game and the rhythm in doing hard modes for RG, easy ones for gear, cantina for Lando and Boba. Speaking of guild, do any of the goon guilds have room?

Is Kanan a decent alternative to STH in the later game? Mainly for arena, GW and LS battles. STH never seems to get his taught off enough and doesn't hit very hard.

Burning_Monk posted:Is Kanan a decent alternative to STH in the later game? Mainly for arena, GW and LS battles. For level 60-80, STH is probably going to be a lot better. Once you unlock mods, you want to get STH going first. He'll taunt, giving everyone else TM up. From there, every time STH takes damage, while his taunt is up, he'll give everyone tm up. Also, he's a scoundrel, and you need a bunch of scoundrels so you can run credit heist.

Ezra and Hera are easy, though, and if they're starting pre-50 they can use whatever crystals they get to farm them. Sabine will take forever, though, regardless because one hard node is garbage. Guild Coins will depend entirely on if they have a character with enough stars to do raid and get the 0 damage or not. I don't know when Thrawn will be coming back, they have 4 of these events and it seems Yoda is still more often than any of the others, so probably in another 6 months. They may have some time.

Yoda & EP alternate months don't they? R2 and Thrawn have just been added but I suspect they will eventually slot into the rotation so you have a crack at each once/4 months. EP didn't get added to the rotation for a while though so who knows
