I'd like to try other leaders, but my set of uniques is very slim. It seems like for most leaders the unique is critical, so I am stuck with limited options. I have enough Agent Kallus to have it at level 3, but *zero* Yogar Lyste :(

On another note, I'm a boba-using scrub and I'm leading the guild tower-kill board! Get on it y'all! I'm doing all 2v2 so that I rank up the guild without stressing about my individual rank.

I've always thought Sabine was good.

Now there's numbers that (sorta?) validate my assumption.

Yeah I mean there's always caveats with that kind of data, the main one being that I just pull current deck stats from the leaderboard at a given time on Sunday evening, so I may be picking up some people's 2v2 casual decks or whatnot. But I think it's fair to say that Sabine is quite strong - she's definitely the best kill pressure leader on the Rebel side, and suicides pretty comparably to Luke and aggro Han

It's especially considering it's based off the Clash Royal system like every other mobile game is right now. But i feel like with Force Arena you get way more stuff per free pack than you ever did in Clash. While i have spent some money on my way up to where i am now i basically only did it because i ran out of credits back when the game wasen't so generous with them i needed the boost.

I feel like with Clash Royale after a certain point you NEED to spend money simply because if you go strictly off the free chests you won't have the variety of super powerful units needed to keep climbing. The "soft cap" on units is much higher in Force Arena and while card levels do matter, you can make up card level disadvantage with good micro of your hero.


Unless of course you're a level 2 Han fighting against a level 5 Vader, than you might as well just bend over and take it, let the whale has his fun and move on :v:

If you're dead set on having 40th vader at level 3 sure why not. Just beware the devs aren't afraid to nerf dudes.

So I just started playing again recently for the 40th anniversary thing after taking a long hiatus. I left right around the time the generator heal dudes and the dewback came out. In T5 Chromium, the goonpublic guild, and on the 13th mission. Besides the guild improvements, what have I missed? I'm seeing a lot of new cards and wondering if any of them standouts. Also wondering what are other good sources of info besides here. I'm aware of the reddit page and the Youtubers Glutenslayer and Trademark; but I haven't really delved deep into those.

Other than the healers the new units really aren't anything to exciting because the majority of them are just a mirror unit for the other side (the demolishionist is just the rebel version of the rocket trooper, death troopers are the imp equivelent of Pathfinder) i think the new rebel Boomerang guy is pretty okay, and the new imp Heavy Tank is pretty terrible.

If you want some more Youtubers to check out, try President Awall, he hasen't posted anything new in a while but he really gets indepth with the strategy behind his decks and shows very good gameplay.

I lost like 4 games in a row to some input lag so I got annoyed and took a break, but I'm back now. Think I'm going to just try and push with Bossk until I hit a wall.

Bossk L2
IG 88 L1
Bladesmen L11
Sandtrooper L11
Stormtrooper L11
TIE Fighter L11
Rocket Trooper L9
Light Vehicle L6

Been tweaking the deck and this seems to be the best. Don't need a stun grenade because of his ability, and this has a good mix of AOE, straight up fight, and splitpush.

Kyber is still 1300 points away though....

Zabrak Assassins can be a lot of fun in the right deck. For 4 energy they don't push towers well though. Boomerang guy is cool too, especially if you get him hasted.

I'm also looking at this game again. Had 500 crystals sitting in my account, so I bought the Vader/Luke pack, young Vader seems pretty good.

What troops are good right now?

I think we only have one guild now: Theoldgoonpublic

Dunno what troops are good, the old good ones are still good and the new ones are mostly just mirror units that one side or another was lacking. The Rogue One big tank on the imperial side is bad though.

The Bantha is more of a walker mirror but it's not exactly the same, I think it's weaker but a little dude jumps off it when it dies (he sucks and never does anything)

FYI Balance changes hit a little bit ago:

40th vader got nerfed significantly, Hans mines have higher respawn time now, Hera's unique got dropped down in cost, and for some reason they took a bat to rebel pathfinders :confused:

quote:

Galactic Empire


40th Anniversary Vader
40th Anniversary Vader has essentially dominated the current meta, with 40th Vader appearing in a large percentage of games. We have found that his heal ability may have been a little too strong at release, and will be toning the percentage of HP recovered down a fraction.

▶Regeneration
HP recovery amount decreased from 30% to 20%
▶Hit Points
Hit Points reduced from 1190 to 1134

Rebel Alliance

Han Solo
We are taking a second look at Han Solo’s mines. Han Solo exceeds at controlling the map in ways which other Leaders cannot. Mines often lead to a significant amount of damage, and their low cool down means that there is the possibility of creating a lane which just cannot be pushed into. We will be increasing the cool down time of the mines slightly, and will continue to monitor their performance.

▶ Mine
Cool down time increased from 22 Seconds to 25 Seconds

Chopper
Chopper’s ability is incredible, and when used at the right time, chopper can seriously change the flow of battle. The main issue with Chopper is his cost is slightly too high when considering the rest of his kit. We will be reducing his cost in order to give Chopper more of a chance in Rebel Decks.

▶Energy Requirement
Energy requirement reduced from 3 to 2
▶Hit Points
Hit points increased from 838 to 880

Rebel Pathfinder
The Rebel Pathfinder is having its power reduced slightly.

▶Hit Points
Hit points reduced from 230 to 220
▶Attack Power
Attack Power reduced from 60 to 57

Pathfinders are so drat good for only 3 energy i'm suprised it took this long to nerf them. Not even considering Cassians range buff, they can do a ton of damage on their own and they tanky enough to be a big problem if left unchecked. Even when deployed as part of a mob of enemies they will survive a TIE strafing run, and i don't enjoy the prospect of dropping a 4 energy Bomber card just to deal with 3 energy worth of units.

I like the look of the rainbow squad or whatever for the rebs but they seem too expensive. Also I took too long of a break from this game and now I get my rear end kicked every time.
