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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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).

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