Man, that Kylo Ren is an asshole.

He's quickly becoming my #1 priority to eliminate when he's in the opposite squad. I swear he gets to attack 3-4x more than anybody else. Plus, he seems to counter attack every single time he takes damage.

I love this game, btw. It's like crack.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)

Shard drops have extreme variance. I can get three in a row and then go 10 without one.

The good news is that due to nice run of arena luck, I am now 20 minutes away from Sidious and if I can get 2 Lumi shards out of six hard missions, tomorrow evening I will have her too. Poe by the end of the weekend.

This game is addicting...

One of, if not THE, worst premium player there is. Had you gotten Rey, well, that's another story.

Update - now rocking with Sidius. Tomorrow brings Lumi (probably). Need training droids bad. Shouldn't have trained up all those worthless players. I hope at some point they allow trade ins. I doubt it though.

Yeah I'm not seeing reason to use him over Poe.

Poe is the premier taunter.

I spent the last day leveling my 4* Poe up and getting him geared up. I am in love with Oscar Isaac all over again.

Gear is much more important than stars with Poe due to the speed boosts.

Got Sidious and Luminara today. Trying to get them up to speed has really slammed my reserves.

Nice. I'll be getting both today too. I think I'll be okay, I've been hoarding money and training droids.

I really wasted alot of training droids on players I'll probably never use. They'll end up being suicide squad members for early stages of GW.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)

GW is seriously bugged. I can get through the first six battles then I get hit with a super team 10 levels above me. It's beyond aggravating.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)

Alright, so I spoke too soon I guess. I beat my first GW! Levels and power don't really matter - just finding the right combination and sequence of enemies. Once you have Lumi as a second healer, things just go much better.

I've found that having a taunter, damage dealer, two healers, and a sacrificial pawn is a great combination.

However, I was REALLY undewhelmed with the loot for winning GW. Just some gems, ability disks and a useless shard. Is that it? Does it get better at higher levels?

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)

1,200 daily gems = 15 Lumi or Phasma shards. That's not nothing! Plus achievement progression for more Vader shards.



I'm about to unlock Daka from Cantina and shard farming. Is it worth taking her beyond 4* given the rest of my team? I imagine only needing her for DS battles and occasionally GW if, for some reason, it suddenly becomes difficult. I would much rather switch my focus to getting Poe to 7*. Thoughts?

I've left my Daka at 4*. I don't find her entirely useful in GW, and she is already strong enough for the DS battles as long as you gear her up. I may return to her later, but for now my Cantina shipments are better used on Poe or Fett.

Let me ask you a question first - work on getting Lumi to 7* or unlock Phasma first? My sense is to concentrate on at least 6* both DS and Lumi as having them on my team at my level (sub-50) would pretty much rock me through everyone on arena and in GW. But I would like to have Phasma as well. What do you think?

Also, my reading of the official forums is that Poe is FAR more dependent on gear than * level. Many folks are stopping at 6* with him to focus on gearing him up. Everyone is big into gear over stars on the forum. That's the meta right now. There are even some folks with 5* characters and complete gear mopping up 7*s with lesser gear. Seems to me like the prevailing opinion is to star to 6* then gear up to max, then 7*. Calculating ROR, max gear make more difference (alot more) than 6 to 7 star bonus. However, this may exempt Lumi and DS given how powerful they are.

As for Daka, she is really a glass cannon of sorts. Great heal for a DS but zero offense so you really have her only to heal. I would probably keep her at 4* for now, gear up, then maybe refocus.

I was under some crazy impression you got alot of shards in addition to gems for completing GW. Oh well.
