They've stated they don't really want to update the old shops because they end up filling different roles later. Arena is for prestige, and GW and cantina are for shard shop currency, which is more gear.

Cantina is for fleet credits you mean.

They've stated that no more characters will be added to most of the shops. The only ones that could potentially get new characters are the guild store and the Guild Events store.

Not really important, but I wish they would take some of the early garbage characters like ugnaught, jedi knight guardian, and mob enforcer and just make some sort of trash tier store and stop making every new character one needs to farm a hard node.

Also, for BH chat, is the setup Bossk lead or Jango lead? And is Jango's leader zeta worth it?

So since I've maxed out all the characters in the Squad Arena Store...what the hell am I supposed to do with these tokens? I've maxed out all my capital ships with the Prestige tokens, and have more credits than I know what to do with. Just horde the Squad Arena Tokens in the hope they eventually add some new characters to the store? Or horde the Prestige tokens in the hope they add another capital ship?

Same question for the Cantina Battles Store, though I have one more character to max out there (Mob Enforcer, because why the gently caress not).

Arena? just horde arena tokens.
Cantina? Buy Cassian's ship for the shard shop.
GW? Buy ship shards for the shard shop.

I'm pretty sure both GET and guild shops aren't getting more toons.

Ship shards aren't worth more in the shard shop than character shards though, right? I know at least in GW, you only get 4 shards for ships vs. 5 for characters, so wouldn't that mean less shard shop currency?

I wish you could Sacrifice characters such that if you have them maxed out, they go back to zero shards and locked out, but you get all their gear back.

ships shards are slightly more valuable than characters shards when exchanging them for shard shop currency. You get more currency for 4 ship shards than 5 characters shards.

Its one currency. I dont think they wanted to deal with fractions of currency so 4 ship shards is 76 compared to 5 character shards being 75

It’s a 1 currency difference for GW redemption, but for cantina bucks, for some reason. Cassian’s U Wing is 5 shards not 4, so it’s a substantial difference.

His leader ability is the main change. They didn't like how it cheesed hstr p3 with 3po. Consensus seems to be its worse for raiding but better for pvp now. His special 2 also got stacking damage, which apparently makes him pretty good under jtr for hstr p1

It's worse for the tank raid and you can't cheese p3 of the sith raid anymore, but a new video came out where you can do about 30% of p1 of the sith raid by slotting him under JTR (with BB, R2 and 3P0 to fill out).

gently caress this tier VII Chewie event so loving hard. Holy poo poo. My all G12 (z)Bossk, (z)Boba, Dengar, Cad, and Greedo barely even get to attack. Bossk is stunned immediately every time, Greedo is dead before I even get a turn, and I barely make any headway. I'll keep trying, because RNG, but this is rough.

It's all about RNG. It took me about 10 tries with g12 zzBossk, G11 Boba and Zam, G9 Greedo and Dengar with whatever mods I had on them. If they stealth, you may as well restart. Kill Chewie first.

Yep, all RNG on who they attack and if you get stunned. If you have that crew at G12, you'll get it eventually.

G12 zBossk, G12 Boba, G11 Jango, G10 Greedo, G10 Dengar.

Hope for the stun in Greedo and a crit on Dengar in the first wave of attack, plus a bossk stun net+assists on Chewie with enough crit to burn away his protection.

Took about 40 tries to get a perfect combo, but once it happened, I finished with Boba, Jango, and Dengar alive.

I just gave up after like 20 tries. I'll try again later. But out of all 20 tries, I literally only had Bossk get a turn once. It was surprising when it happened, I was like, "Oh, been a while since I've seen those buttons. Weird."

It's been an endless loop of their guys go at least once or twice, one of my guys gets one turn, their guys go once or twice each, another of my guys gets one turn, they all go again.

RNG really hates me on this one.

It's so annoying. This is like the one event that I actually just so happen to have a really good 7* g11/12 squad ready for and instead of it being a breeze for once it's the hardest one yet and I still can't even get past the 2nd tier.

Yup, you need dengar to stealth before r2 uses smoke screen. If that doesn't happen just reset. You also want your worst unit to take the stun, in your case probably greedo. Go for chewie first. Once he is down the event is fairly easy.

To make this as painless as possible, do this:

For each of your arena characters (who presumably have your best mods), go to the character, then mod mod management, then assign load out, then tap the "create load out from" button. This will save the load outs so you don't have to remember who had what.

Then go to your bounty hunters, and assign one of your arena team load outs to each one. Once you win(!), you can then easily reassign the mods back to your arena characters.

The Falcon event is coming back on April 11th through April 18th. You need:

Slave One
Hound's Tooth
Xanadu Blood
IG-2000

all at least 5 stars. This'll get you Han's Falcon, which is really the meta ship at this point. You want to get it if you can.
