Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Yes--definitely push yourself to your first 7* no matter who it is. Even if you do 0 damage and get squashed like a gluten-free pancake, just being able to be in the 7* raid gives you great rewards. Just do it! :P

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
I have Luminara and Asajj Ventress at 5* I'm trying to concentrate my shard gathering on those two, Genosian Soldier, and Rey (who I don't have yet).

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Good, mutually exclusive choices. How are you at GW every day? Are you getting the full 1200 for 15 Lumi shards from it in addition to farming the hard nodes?
#1955
DVD Talk Limited Edition
Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Yes, Luminara is the best of those three to farm the hardest right now. GS is great, but the drop rates in the Cantina aren't guaranteed, whereas they are for Lumi in Galactic Wars. Between getting her there and in the hard battles, you can probably average 10-15 shards a day, which should get her up to 7* in only a few weeks. And wow will you see a difference in your GW play...

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Get used to it. I have (12), 7*, Level 75 and above characters and still struggle to finish GW more than 10% of the time. Usually I run into a buzz-saw Tank who just mows down my team single-handedly.
#1960
DVD Talk Limited Edition
Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Yes, you can grab both at the same time. If credits are an issue for raising to five stars, personally, I preferred Lumi over GS when I first got them. Her #2 is almost as powerful as GS's #2 at that level, so she's great overall. That said, GS is much more of an end-game toon than Lumi, and you'll eventually prefer him. But since you'll soon have both, I'd raise Lumi up first with credits, then GS.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Yeah, with the latest changes, it's REALLY tough to always finish GW. I finish about 50% of the time now, and I have nearly three 7* teams I can use. Even when I do finish, my last 7* team is pretty beaten up.

In the end game, most players find themselves always using Phasma, QGJ, Royal Guard and Leia. I'd focus on them over the others just for the long game.
A good GW and Arena team would be Phasma (lead), QGJ, GS, Lumi, RG.
I don't see you having Rey...you should consider getting her when you can. She's a VERY heavy hitter and you'll always find a place for using her while you're farming. I also found Old Daka necessary if you want to complete the Dark Side battles and her ability to stun characters comes in very handy.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
I have seen the screenshots and conversations of the make up of the teams and I saw that Rey was integral. I'm 20 shards away with 800 credits to purchase 10 shards when she come up.
Thanks for the advice!

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Only thing about using her in GW is that you want to end each node with her cooldowns refreshed because you need that one-shot kill ability available right at the start of the next node.

Honestly, this is when I love being part of this guild. Being able to take part in the rewards of these uber raids makes up for some of these other shortcomings.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
I always make it to the last node in GW... only to be DESTROYED for three straight rounds of level 75+ characters at 7*s each. Ridiculous.
I did get my last two Rey shards today... now I need $1M to level her up to 7*s. She's already at level 80.
PS - a fully stacked Clone Trooper 5's is ridiculously over-powered. I wonder if he and Rey will eventually be nerfed?

Last node again today. Every single one of my heroes was wiped out in two hits... four rounds of characters against all Level 80's and I was obliterated. This is beyond frustrating.

Spoiler:
I can't stress enough how correct the others have been about getting Lumi, Phasma, GS, QGJ and Rey. an A team like this will go far in GW. I think I started off with a lineup similar to yours and my A Team is comprised of Phasma (L) Lumi, QGJ, GS and IG86 while my B Team is Phasma (L), Teebo, Rey, Savage Opress, and Talia. My kryptonite are High level droid teams.
I like finishing GW so I don't push too far with my arena team (Phasme (L), Sid, JC, GS, IG86) and lately I hold between 250-300 though lately I rarely lose.
As far as GW goes I have a system that allows me to have a easy opponent in node 12. I run my B team for the 1st 5 nodes and 7 or 8, my A team handles 6, 7or8, 9 and 10 then I field my best remaining team in 11. I use no more than 11 toons and usually I lose no more than 3 total. I always have a weak opponent in node 12.
