Lumi to 7* first. She is one of the strongest characters in the game, and is worth maxing out.

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

Agreed. My Lumi is why I complete GW every day and why I breeze through LS and Cantina battles. And she's only 6.5* but does have Level 7.833 gear.

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

OK, name is Mazje. Ally code is 694-697-123.

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

I definitely focus on gear and shards for just a handful of characters. I will vouch for the importance of gear as well. I do need Poe at 5 or 6 stars, but I could see stopping there. Daka is just needed to keep my dark side team alive in battles to unlock more farming nodes to sim.

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

Who is an easily obtainable tank for dark side?

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

Fett. He is "relatively" easy to farm from the Cantina shipments.

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

Royal Guard.

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

Sorry, should have clarified... a taunting tank. Does RG taunt?

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

In a way, so to speak. Potentially has the best taunt in the game. Has an auto-taunt when players drop below a certain health level. Plus has good defense up capabilities. But terrible offense.

The only other DS taunter right now is the Stormtrooper.

Shard Locations: Data Cards, Light Side 3-C, Dark Side 4-D, Light Side 8-D, and Cantina Shipments

So you could get him using Catina or farming 3-C or 4-D.

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

Thanks. I guess I'm used to my light side playstyle where I use Chewie/Poe to taunt. I don't have that yet for the dark side.

Also, who to focus on first for cantina shipments? Fives, Daka, Fett, Poe? I have a 3* Poe already FYI.

PvP and GW are slow going for me. I can buy one PvP shipment a day and maybe one GW shipment every other day. I'm still focusing on Sid for PVP, currently a 4* (whatever his default is) and Lumi for GW.

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

Greetings Heroes,

Small update today.

Daily Crystal Booster Packs are now available for players who have spent at least $4.99 in the store.

The text on Lobot's ability Parallel Processing has been updated to more closely reflect how the ability works.

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

So, I just spent $30.98 on this game and I now own 2,900 crystals with another 2,000 in an annuity. Where's my lump sum?!

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

Fives and Poe are so similar, and Poe is so much better, I wouldn't go for him unless you plan to run an all clones team for synergy.

If you don't want to upgrade Poe, I would go for Daka as she is the only DS healer of any value and will really help you with campaign mode. But if were me, i would go for Boba Fett b/c he's FUCKING BOBA FETT!!! :)

As for Arena and GW, what is your strategy? I was really landlocked until after experimentation, I now go right after their healer with full FP and hope to kill him before Chewie/Poe taunts. I typically leave anyone with a auto-counter until last and then just gang up on him. Also, only target one enemy at a time, they will go down much faster. I also like to use toons with a double shot or assist chance like GS, FOTP or Greedo. Finally, keep everyone in good health. Once you have Lumi AND JC, that's much easier. Don't forget Chewie has a great self-heal which works wonders when he's the taunter and gets worn down.

You can win GW. Don't worry about levels. Use the retreat option liberally. Find the right combination.

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

Use it on the new character being added soon:

Peein Dabutt

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

Yeah, hard to resist the Fett.

Same strat as I tend to use. I try to take out healers first but usually don't have the firepower to knock them out before a taunt. I have GS and FOTP and need to invest more in them. I'm gear blocked on Chewie's last skill as I don't have that campaign mission unlocked yet so I can't get the part.

Didn't realize there was a retreat button in GW. Does that reset the team you will fight next?

My Arena wall is I'm ranked 3300-ish and the only teams avail for me to fight against (yes, I'm refreshing too) have power scores in the 9k-10k range. My power is 8k at best. Guess that means I need to focus on upgrading skills and gear.

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

No, nor does it remove status effects, but it will give you the chance to see what works and what doesn't.

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

PVP on my server is not fun right now. If I can crack the top 200, I won't stay there by the time 6pm rolls around. I should have 6* Sid, 7* Lumi, and purple gear Poe by Sunday so maybe that'll help get me over the hump.

I keep looking at who to farm after Sidious is complete in the next two weeks but no one really tickles my dick. I don't have a droid team to justify either HK-47 or IG-88. My light side/tanks will be fine without ST Han. Asajj is strong on my team, but I'm not sure if I want to invest in her further. Ackbar doesn't seem to fit with my team in a way to convince me to add him.

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

Genosian Soldier? He packs a mean punch and is really farmable. Otherwise I would probably recommend Kylo or FOTP if you have the nodes open.

I will say that some folks LOVE Biggs. He doesn't have a taunt, but his turn meter bonus is great, especially if you can work a Rebel team.

I would also recommend Rey. But she is so OP right now there is talk of a nerfing (her and Poe)

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

I mean farming the Arena shards once Sidious is done.

I'll look into Biggs because then Ackbar will make more sense post-Sidious. I can happily do a Rebel team and leave a warm spot for Wedge whenever he decides to show up.

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

I see. For arena, you could make a speculative move. Many folks on the forums think that Han is broken and is due for a massive buff (to Poe levels). Ventress has some nice exposes you could use though.

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

I have both of them already too. Asajj is a better option than ST Han because 1) she's already purple gear, 2) I use her in every team already, and 3) she's going to stay on my DS team anyway.

ST Han would make sense on that Biggs/Ackbar Rebel team we were just talking about along with Luke that I already have. I'd probably keep Lumi on that team in lieu of a 5th Rebel and since ST Han basically replaces Poe at top levels.

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

Ackbar is really strong in PVP but not as helpful in PVE where there are fewer negative status effects thrown around.

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

ST Han, Ackbar, and Biggs it is. Asajj is just too slow to really keep focusing on.

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

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

Maybe I'll just keep farming Sidious to trade up for ... Yoda?
