Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
I'll try to check in with the Guild more often. I have five 7* characters and 2 6* characters and working on getting more but it's slow going because I have plenty of characters ready to go, shardwise, but I'm continually short on credits. GW has been impossible for me lately so I just don't earn like I used to, unfortunately.
For what it's worth, I caught hand, foot, and mouth from my toddler (apparently, I didn't get it as a kid) and could barely hold my phone for longer than five minutes at a time for over a week, my hands hurt so bad. Then I had to stuff three weeks of work into one week to make up my sick time and so I could go on an already-scheduled vacation this week.
I'll keep doing my best. Thank you for your patience and for including me.

Our last two raids have been Tier 5. All your 5* characters are available.
The schedule is simple: T5 constantly until a T6 would drain the bank, then T6.

Is there a way to sell off spare gear - I am sitting on multiple items where I have in excess of 300 items. I'd rather have the credits.

In about 2 weeks, I am going to New Orleans for vacation. I may not get the 600 energy for the guild daily while gone, don't boot me...
Got my first furnace drop today, had to spend the crystals.
I'm 22 JC shards and 34 Ahsoka shards away from 7* (and 2 million credits), hopefully will get 7* yoda too.

Any tips, general strategy, or roster advice for the various stages of the raid? I don't seem to do very well compared to others and I don't think my roster is that much different (I'm no Chase or Piñata though ).

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
People are sitting out phase 1 to inflict more concentrated damage on the rancor with the door mechanism. The payout system discourages phase 1 participation in favor or P2 and P3. It's a serious problem.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Are the phases timed? Or do we still have to do enough damage to clear each phase?
How do I know when the next phase starts?

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Each phase has an amount of damage that must be dealt before moving on. There is no time limit except in the highest tier which we won't be attempting for a while. Only way to know what phase we're in is to check often. Tier 5 moves quickly. Tier 6 is slower so this sandbagging won't be as big of a problem.
We are hoping to clear this raid by Tuesday.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
The trick is to maximize damage to the captain, so you will need to use QGJ's special Humbling Blow, when one of the guards taunt. You can use Poggle's main attack to ensure that the other guard doesn't taunt, and use the dispel character when the deathmark shows up. Use the DPS character(s) to wail on the captain. Rinse and repeat.
Phase 2 and 3 are pretty much the same. You want to manipulate the turn meter on the Rancor, so that you can attack for the longest time possible. I use Sid, Boba Fett or Phasma as leader here for their crit bonus leader abilities. Again you want someone who can manipulate their turn meter (Yoda, STH). High DPS to do most of the attacks. In these phases there is a door panel that should be the focus of attack whenever it is up. Remember as well to escape characters that might be beneficial for later phases before the Rancor's devour comes up.
Phase 4 is pretty much the same as the previous two phases, with the exception that there is no door panel.

I'll admit I was holding out until later in the day. I did fight them but was hoping they'd be clear. I only have a QGJ so I get only one decent round agaginst them.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
I completely understand. But we aren't quite to the point yet where we are clearing P1 the first day. Very close, but until then, hit early and come back tomorrow for P2 or P3 action.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Finally got into the raid early enough to go against the Gamorrean Guards for the first time. I was completely unprepared and was pretty frustrated. Did some retreating to try and learn how it works and got at least some damage on the Captain that way.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Need some help to figure out what I should be working on. I don't do that great in the raids. My arena sits around 200 (which I'm okay with as it seems to allow me I think to get through GW everyday.) I've been working on getting 5 7* Jedi to get Yoda and I finally got Mace to 7 to have a full roster. Wish it had been BO or Ahsoka, but so it is.
Here are my characters:
1) Lumi 72/7*/G8
2) Eeth Koth 72/7*/G8
3) Poggle 65/7*/G8
4) JC 72/7*/G8
5) QGJ 72/7*/G7
6) Sid 72/7*/G7
7) IG-86 64/7*/G8
8) Phasma 72/7*/G7
9) Mace Windu 61/7*/G7
10) Fives 63/4* (0/65)/G8
11) Talia 63/5* (31/85)/G8
12) Barriss 63/4* (16/65)/G8
13) Geonosian Soldier 61/4* (28/65)/G8
14) Royal Guard 65/4* (24/65)/G7
15) Darth Vader 61/4* (48/65)/G7
16) Count Dooku 60/5* (2/85)/G7
17) Yoda 55/5*/G7
18) IG-88 52/5* (12/85)/G7
19) Old Daka 55/4* (43/65)/G7
20) Clone Wars Chewie 54/4* (14/65)/G7
21) Ahsoka 63/3* (8/30)/G7
22) Resistance Pilot 51/4* (50/65)/G6
23) Rey 50/4* (12/65)/G5
and then I have (all low stars and gear and levels)
24) Luke 3*
25) Ewok Scout 3*
26) Poe 3*
27) FOTP 2*
28) Chief Chirpa 3*
29) Teebo 2*
30) Jawa 3*
31) Snowtrooper 2*
32) JK Guardian 3*
33) Clone Sergeant Phase 1 2*
34) Nightsister Initiate 2*
35) Resistance Trooper 3*
36) Biggs Darklighter 2*
37) Ugnaught 2*
38) Magmatrooper 2*
39) FO Officer 3*
40) Nute Gunray 4*
41) Coruscant Police 1*
42) Ewok Elder 2*
I've been focusing on Daka in Cantina Shop but I don't know who to farm right now in the cantina battles.
In Arena, I'm getting IG-88, and I'm wondering if I should just get him to 6 and then start on STH or HK-47.
And then in GW I'm working on Resistance Pilot (and picking up Vader whenever I see him in shard shop.) Also wondering if I should get her to 6 and then focus on Teebo.
In the guild shop, I'm just getting Rey shards.
Here are my characters:
1) Lumi 72/7*/G8
2) Eeth Koth 72/7*/G8
3) Poggle 65/7*/G8
4) JC 72/7*/G8
5) QGJ 72/7*/G7
6) Sid 72/7*/G7
7) IG-86 64/7*/G8
8) Phasma 72/7*/G7
9) Mace Windu 61/7*/G7
10) Fives 63/4* (0/65)/G8
11) Talia 63/5* (31/85)/G8
12) Barriss 63/4* (16/65)/G8
13) Geonosian Soldier 61/4* (28/65)/G8
14) Royal Guard 65/4* (24/65)/G7
15) Darth Vader 61/4* (48/65)/G7
16) Count Dooku 60/5* (2/85)/G7
17) Yoda 55/5*/G7
18) IG-88 52/5* (12/85)/G7

I've been focusing on Daka in Cantina Shop but I don't know who to farm right now in the cantina battles.
In Arena, I'm getting IG-88, and I'm wondering if I should just get him to 6 and then start on STH or HK-47.
And then in GW I'm working on Resistance Pilot (and picking up Vader whenever I see him in shard shop.) Also wondering if I should get her to 6 and then focus on Teebo.
In the guild shop, I'm just getting Rey shards.

I just posed a very similar question to our guild chat and they overwhelmingly suggested I max Teebo and Fives over other options because they're both great for the raids. Same might work for you--farm each in a different spot.
