How to use retreat? I thought it was useless now because it resets the enemy team?

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

On Android, you click on the gear symbol in the top left corner.

It resets yes, but also allows you to try different combinations, attacks, etc. to change RNG. Also allows you to burn enemy specials if you are willing to sacrifice pawns.

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

Does it reset your team as well, including health etc? Otherwise I'm not seeing how it is useful.

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

Yeah it does.

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

OH! Well shit. I just stopped using it after the patch when everybody in the official forums declared it it the worst change in the history of games. Thanks fellas.

When are crystals supposed to be delivered from the subscription? I signed up yesterday and got the initial 100, but nothing else has come in my mail yet.

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

Every day at midnight local clock time.

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

They hated it because it used to dispell all negative effects on your team as well as waste their specials. Now you have to sacrifice your players to do that, if you want. But otherwise it is a MUST. It is the only way to win GW unless you are running 3-4 7* players and a 6.

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

Hmm okay, would of expected some at midnight this morning then... maybe that's the initial 100?

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

Possibly. If it doesn't happen this morning, I would submit a support ticket. EA is usually pretty quick about getting back to you.

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

Pretty happy that I finally have a team that can auto-win the tier 3 Savage Opress challenge every time. That battle was getting very annoying.

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

Sorry, still not understanding the GW retreat tactic. Please explain to me like I'm a 5 year old. :)

I'm halfway thru my GW and about to face a big roadblock... a +3 level Dooku who will most likely rip me to shreds. I have some suicide squaddies to throw up against him too (well, levels 1-15 if I can use those).

Thanks

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

As long as the opponent has taken a turn, you can click the gear icon and retreat.

This resets the battle. Opponents are alive, full health, and completely cooled down. Your heroes revert to their state pre-battle (alive, hurt/healthy, same cooldown status).

It's like the battle never happened.

You cannot retreat and have the enemies damaged.

So a suicide squad needs to be that: suicide. They must finish the battle, win or lose, to have an effect on the enemy.

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

Thanks Pinata.

So by using retreat, it gives you another shot at that particular battle? If it is going poorly and you lost some guys, then hit retreat and you get another shot.

And the suicide squad can burn those enemy specials as long as you finish the battle? So, in my current battle, I can tag in some lowbies, hope Dooku uses his lightning, lose the battle, and bring in my big guns?

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

Precisely.

There is a quirk with the seeding of the RNG where if you retreat, bring in the same team, and do the same first action/target, the thing will play out the same. You have to change it up to get different results.

Unlocked Vader <3

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

Even though he is only 4*, I still use him alot in GW.

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

I'm finding that AoE is essential in Dark Side battles if you hope to keep everyone alive to 3* it. Otherwise you'll get AoE'ed to death with grenades and Jawas.

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

I can't win the Tier 2 challenge. Opress gets me to zero then the droids kick in, then he kicks in. I'm stuck at Tier 1, even at L50.

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

You need to kill the droids first. Makes it a lot easier.

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

That one and the Veers/Tarkin battle necessitate killing droids first.

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

I'll try that next time.

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

Especially if you can time it so that the heal bonus you get from killing them is useful, but that's a dangerous game with Savage's slam-to-zero attack followed by the droids picking you off.

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

I have been using the droids to heal back up after his superplex but that's not working. Next time it rolls, I'll try that strategy (killing droids and using players for healing).

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

Daka and Asajj definitely help on auto-play with their basic attacks throwing a stun on him.
