How good are they? Are they modded correctly? SM goons with heroic questions, feel free to harass me here or on discord. You guys absolutely have the roster to do it and should be trying regularly if it doesn’t die this time.

Bb8, JTR, and R2 are max gear. Scav is G12 and Trooper is G11. I need to optimize their mods but that is so time consuming

It makes all the difference in the world. Particularly running RT slow and strong, giving RJT enough potency (a two piece set, a primary cross, and a multitool), and getting the opening turn order right (it should go BB8-> RJT -> R2).

Doing those things will get you set up to have ID before DN takes his first turn, with speed and offense down before his first AoE. Getting that right sets the tone for the whole run.

If you aren't using http://www.swgohmods.com/ you should be. Makes it wayyyyy easier. Select the unit, select the desired stat(s), it'll give you the best options amongst all the mods you have equipped. It can't compare mods you don't have equipped on someone, but those are easy enough to compare against when you're already in there about to switch the mod, and your best ones are probably equipped already anyways.

I have about 2 dozen untouched mods that are on nobody. Would I have to max all those mods out to Lvl 15 to be able to tell which is the "best"?

No but if you level all your mods with speed to 12 and equip them on randos, then give me your SWGOH.gg URL, and catch me on discord when I am getting smashed at an Applebee’s on a weeknight like the disgusting lowlife that I am, I will walk you through fixing them.

Mainly just the ones with speed secondaries (and speed arrows, crit dmg triangles). If you have extra credits, level promising mods to 12 like CaptainPsyko said, as that's the last level they upgrade secondaries, so you know what the mod looks like at that point. Long term ideally keep some credits (~3mil) and ship resource(~2mil) on hand and check the mod store page every refresh for any mod set items you want. Mostly looking for any with speed as a secondary already. Crit damage, crit chance, and speed are probably the most important sets to look for, potency and offense to a lesser extent

For Heroic STR, you need to equip your good +offense secondaries as well, and weirder things like offense% arrows. So just stick everything on everyone and spend an hour swgoh.gging everything. You'll be surprised at what turns up

Is this possible to pull off without god-mods, or gimping R2 by taking his speed set off? Right now even with pretty good mods, R2 outspeeds JTR by like 30 since she's in CD/CC (trying to get her out of the CC as we speak but still)

edit: N/m, this is what happens when you theorycraft too much and stop actually PLAYING after a long day, BB8 bumps JTR up with CDT so no need to outspeed R2, guh

Right. RJT doesn’t neeed to have a higher speed than R2, she just needs to be close enough. (Which is a moving target based on how much faster than R2 BB8 is.)

Here’s my P1 squad for a mod reference; I average 4-4.5m, but on a good day like yesterday, can do 5.5m

This is telling me it can't find my user, even though I copied my username from swoh.gg just to be sure (profile is public). Is it working for everyone else?


On another note, I've been stunning BB8 with my opening shot from Han when I face standard RJT teams (RJT, BB8, R2, Thrawn, CLS). I realized that RJT dispels that stun on her opening turn when she calls BB8 to assist. Should I direct that stun somewhere else? I don't really have a problem with these teams at this point, unless they have insane mods, but I just want to be efficient when I do run into teams with really good mods or for those times when RNG just turns against me.

Finally unlocked BB-8 at 7 stars this morning after 7 starring FOST. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. First match I was destroyed, second match I realized BB-8 was popping Illuminated Destiny waaaay too early. So on the third match I stunned the ever-loving poo poo out of him any chance I got, and the match was a piece of cake.

I got him to gear 7 with scraps I already had lying around, and almost have him to gear 8. How is he to gear at the upper levels?

On a raw count, he needs like 46 items to get to G11 per some spreadsheet that was previously shared. That's comparable to R2. It doesn't mean he's exactly like R2, but he shouldn't be terrible.

Stunning bb8 isn't bad. You delay the Intel train. I usually go for thrawn or r2 if r2 will go before Rey. The lack of smoke screen helps thrawn target enemy Rey or whomever. The biggest problems with jtr teams is being able to target who you want and their millions of turns. Stopping the smoke screen or dispelling after is huge. If they don't run a tank you want to be able to lock down jtr as she is the big turn taker

Sorry, I was reading days to gear, not gear pieces. From scratch, R2 is 47 to G11 and BB8 is 46 per this graphic:

There isn't a lot of variation there. Magma is good against teams featuring Darth Sion. Storms zeta is loving trash. :effort:

Mainly I had to focus on making sure neither ST got off their taunt. So anytime I could stun someone and a ST wasn't stunned, I'd stun them. Any other attack went first to Thrawn because he was destroying me. Once he went down it was easier.

When it comes to punching down EzPz teams, is high tenacity the only way to go if you're not doing a mirror match? With my NS, it seems very RNG of who gets stunned/fractured/ability blocked/turn meter upped. If I can get Talzin's plague off and just stall, I win, but if Talzin gets stunlocked, Talia fails to cleanse, or Daka gets geeked at the wrong moment, everything falls apart. The breakpoint seems to be who gets the first (permanent) kill. If I get it, I snowball. If EP gets it, I lose.

it's not really possible to get enough tenacity to circumvent ezpz, as he boosts sith potency by a fuckload.
