I think he's referring to Leia getting off 4-6 shots at a time. I think the max she gets is actually 3 shots, but on the right team, because of her TM and buffs from others, she can go twice in a row, which makes it seem like 4-6 shots.

Just faced a Leia in PVP and she got off 6 shots --- twice. Not 6 straight turns, but 3 turns with 2 shots each.

That's craziness. I think I need to upgrade my Leia more!

Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first? The male-friendly lesbian, the man-hating dyke, Santa Claus, or the Easter bunny?

I just faced Leia in PVP and in her very first turn she shot, got a bonus attack (killing a toon), and immediately went again attacking a different toon, and got another bonus attack as well. 4 consecutive shots off vs 2 different toons. The 4 in that 4-6 statement is not inaccurate at all. I've seen it more than once. Whether it technically counted as 2 different turns for her or not, she attacked with 4 consecutive shots before any other character (friendly or AI) took a turn.

That was actually what I was going to go with originally.

Thanks for having my back... I knew I wasn't crazy. I try to avoid a stacked team with Leia because 9/10 I get wiped out by her ridiculous "invisible and shoot you 6 times" move.

Is it possible those next Leia turns are coming as assists from someone else? Phasma lead? QGJ? GS? Fives? etc?

Sure... my point is that she's pretty devastating when used properly. She's easy to take out... but you need to get to her before she goes into stealth mode.

I just got enough shards to get her to 7*. Now if only I had the credits to actually get her all the way (well, and the gear too). Sigh... credits are my bottleneck... I assume for other non-whales as well? I'm literally swimming in sim tickets though, lol!

Credits are everyone's bottleneck.

I remember the good ol' days when I had 20M banked because I was sure they'd release a new "promote X characters" achievement.

I have characters sitting at 5* that could be 7*, but I won't promote them because I'd rather use the few credits I have for other purposes. Credits are definitely a bottleneck.

And really, energy is, too. Just not enough of either to get very far except over the VERY long haul...

Eventually(?) you won't need to spend much on daily Hard energy. I spend so much farming shards, but the character focus keeps shifting as I max those I need.

Yeah, I'm pretty much in that place now. I've got about all the characters I want (though I'm trying to get Lando). So all but a my daily requirement of Hard Battles goes to trying to get gear.

It's actually been nice that that's slowing down, too. About 6 of my characters are maxed out, which makes choices much easier.

Is it worth farming for shards on maxed characters in order to convert them in the shard shop, or is the return small enough that it's better to work on other characters?

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
The return is not worth it. Your better investment is new characters, or toons as Pinata is fond of calling them.

Once you max out all the useful characters in GW you will have many opportunities for spare shards.
