Did QGJ complete the raid yet? I got one attack off with my only 5*, Chewie, before he got wrecked. I don't remember getting a reward box though.

We've completed one Tier V raid and are about to complete our second. You're on the damage board, so expect to receive 500 tokens, 100k gold, and the basic Tier V loot box for folks placing 21-50

Also is Rey any good? Pulled her from a datapack last night :woop:

She's definitely in the top 10 strongest characters in the game and may very well be the single strongest. Countless stories of folks saying their 5-star Rey is pulling her weight on a 6 and 7-star arena team

Got Rancor to Phase 3 and did another ~200,000 damage aaaaand client restart. DAFUQ.

There's 59,000 from my first attempt with Trash Team, but not the 200k from the main attempt.

I decided to go to bed at a reasonable hour instead of doing my raid battles last night and then when I got up today it had just been beaten. :rip: my top 3 spot and good rewards.

E: I can't for the life of me find when the daily doubler for May 4th rolls over. Anyone know where that's listed or just what time it happens so I can make note of it?

It just happened, it is now light side hard battles. It seems to be around 12-1PM every day (PST), the devs don't seem to understand how to schedule things to happen in the future on their servers.

Yeah I thought it was happening later and missed out on one and a half wars worth of goodies. :(

Whatever, I got 6 FOTP and 4 Rey shards off of the new bonus so I'm not complaining.

Free 500 Crystals for some reason? Was this our second Compensation?

Or did they just send the entire community 500 Crystals for 30 minutes of downtime or something? When we got 1,000 for 30+ hours. If that is the case, it might be worth mentioning to Jesse, Mal?

I don't know how you guys top the dps chart. I just don't get the rancor fight. It says he does devour every 6 turns. So turn 1 I dropped the door on him and as soon as the door came up he ate my Geo Soldier. (HE ALWAYS EATS HIM FIRST) Then later that same battle devour had 3 turns left on it and he just used it on Lumi like it didn't give a poo poo about timers. Then I tried to retreat and they all failed and died shortly after to similar "Devour off cooldown? Eat you anyway"

The key is hitting him with a speed down debuff and turn meter reduction. There's a tab on the the guild spreadsheet that discusses good characters to use for each phase.

When he aoes devour CD is reduced by 1 for every member of your team below half health.

Are CDs shared between attempts maybe? He turn one devoured Chewbacca on my second attempt today...

Maybe I'm just bad. I'm using Phasma Lead, Lumi, Geo Soldier, Fives, Eeth Koth. First attempt at him his first turn he devours. So I don't know. Like I said I dropped the door on him, and when he got up he stomped and ate my Geo Soldier. None of my team took ANY damage, let alone enough to go below half health.

It seems buggy, I've seen him use devour when it was still on a 3 turn cooldown.

Also regarding the double drop switch times, the ingame mail says it's between 9:30am and 10:30 am PST. Seems accurate, I was up at 8am today and still had GW double drop.

I believe everybody got 500 crystals. Lots of people were having disconnect/crashing issues yesterday.

IGD definitely got shafted on their compensation. You'd think they wouldn't mind showering you guys with crystals since so few people were locked out for that long.

I ran all the ones with shards of dudes I might theoretically want some day. I don't think hard modes have better drop chances so you're paying 20 energy for the same droprate of a 8 energy regular mission.

I have been doing HMs for people I want shards for and people already maxed for the shard shop. I've actually gotten ~1300 shard shop currency over the last couple of days. I've been thinking about maybe working on Grievous slowly but surely but I've been finding plenty of Vader shards to buy.

This is my dream.


Has anyone beat Darth Maul on Light Hard mode 8? I just get stomped. It doesn't help that light side has so very little CC.

Looking online, it sounds like people are relying on 5ish Jedi comps to do it. Apparently for 8-D (Dooku) you need a tank (Han or Poe - Chewie only has a 1 turn taunt). I still need to get Yoda and JC to 7*, and get Yoda's gear to 9. Bleh.


On the plus side, it sounds like DS 8 hard is a lot easier if you have 7* Daka and Asajj. Daka, Asajj, RG, and Dooku gives you 4 sources of stuns. Phasma is great because AOE slow and TM (also great leader, but I think I'd go with Dooku). If you have a high star/gear/level Talia, she's also good. 86 and GS also bring high damage. Also not a bad idea to bring one of 86, GS, or FOTP for damage.

I'm going to wait until after double rewards to try this out (I think that for guild rewards though you just have to spend the energy -- great time to try to clear new missions).

Ok so I am leveling and staring up toons to replace my Jedi team. The ones I have on the way up are rey, fives, phasma, and I already have lumi at 7*. Any suggestions on who to fill in the last spot? I was planing on using phasma as the leader. Huge bonus if they are farmable from cantina battles.

Hey gang, I came back after a month or two hiatus to see some new stuff. They actually show you what item drops you need and how many you need in the after battle screen, wow! Also I see there are guilds. Any goon guilds open? Anything I should know about new characters or buffs or nerfs?

Add yourself to the bottom of that, then add the Goongan guild leader as an ally, and from there you can request a guild invite.

Protection is an added thing that's like a second health bar, except it can't be healed. It was added to reduce the speed meta -- and it has opened up the meta a bunch. The best team comp still seems to be: Dooku (L), QGJ, RG, Daka, (GS or Rey). However, Fives and Old Ben are running around all over the place, and they are absurdly good. Anakin is pretty decent these days, and you'll see QGJ or Yoda led Jedi squads. Old Ben is probably the second most frequent leader (behind Dooku).

Raids are the other big change, which are part of being in a guild. You fight the Rancor and get rewards.

According to reddit, the bonus tomorrow is all the previous bonuses combined. This means you want to save your GW to do tomorrow, as well as any cantina/normal energy. Other stuff that came out today:

Yoda is starting up in 9 days (check the in game countdown)
Wedge Antilles was added, he will be the new arudium character. Supposedly the other characters you might get with him are Luke Skywalker, Hoth Rebel Scout or Lobot.

I'll let other people answer your new character, buff/nerf questions, as I came back from a break as well recently and am not super familiar with what's changed overall.

However, if you'd like to get into a goon guild, we have room in Goongan. Just add me as an ally: 131-545-184 (let me know if your in-game name is different from the forums) and I'll send a guild invite your way.

So currently speculation/random Redditors saying they've datamined info have tomorrow's double event be *everything* across the board. Double GW, LS/DS Hard Nodes, Cantina for May 4th.

It may not happen, but if you can save your GW from today just in case - worst case you do an extra run tomorrow, best case you get 3x double runs!
