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

Cool. I'll start farming his shards in cantina battles to help beef up my dark side. Thanks for all the input!

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

If you're going to look at GS, then consider Poggle as a leader and round out with droids, like the IG-86 you're currently getting for free this month just by logging in every day.

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

I agree with you completely on this. To me, getting main team to all 5*, then 6*, is more important that 7*.

But GEAR is so much more important than stars. I've seen max geared characters at 5* destroy lesser gear 7* characters.

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

I completely agree. If you have those four at 6*, then you will probably be okay for a long time.

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

With the free 135 ENG each day now, it's a no-brainer to go for the second catina refresh. Those tokens are the most valuable thing right now, if only for QGJ shards.

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

Yeah, it's what I do, but not everyone can afford 300 crystals/day. Hell, I couldn't if I wasn't still getting 100/day from the $11 I spent 3 weeks ago. In fact, tomorrow's my last day of that :(

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

I forgot that my $10 crystal recharge on the weekends makes me a whale around here :)

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

Do you not trust yourself with $20 every other weekend? ;)

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

Now you are talking toothless hooker money.

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

Full Yoda spoiler photos are out. He can get to gear 9.5 right now with a power of 5909.

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

Sounds like he can one shot an entire team.

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

I think after Koth/Yoda, I'll be farming Savage Opress in Arena. Not only is he Sith for what must be necessary for a future event, his power has been reworked to insta-kill anyone under 25% health.

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

P, let me just point out that with few exceptions, nearly all 7* players can hit at the 3-4k level to kill a character with that little health remaining.

But SO does seem to have a bit of a boost, I just don't think he's as powerful as people are saying and it's a bit illusory.

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

Perhaps, but in the later DS stages, those ewoks and wookiees have an awful lot of health so 25% can be much more than 3-4k. Even if he's completely useless, I foresee the need for an all-Sith squad.

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

I hate the Ewoks. I'm currently blocked by them. They make Phasma look like he's throwing toothpicks.

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

OK, so I cannot lose at arena apparently. Even going auto against teams with full 7* purple players does nothing.

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

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

JC farming normalized today. Got 4/9 success rate. Got 15 more Mace shards :up:

I've been experimenting with QGJ in GW and the Healer/Support challenge. I really, really like:
Phasma (Leader)
QGJ
Daka
Ventress
JC/Lumi

The bonus attacks and stuns flow. If I could ever unlock Dooku (35/50) I will replace Ventress. It's amazing when QGJ calls in an ally to attack and then Phasma's leader ability brings in a third. So hott!

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

Great Scott! Had Plo Koon drop for me this morning from a Bronzium Card. Another Jedi to add to the mix. I have continued with the advice you guys have given and I am using 200 crystals a day for refreshes and I am ranked @ 391 in the Arena.
My player level is 42 and my current roster is:

Clone Wars Chewie (4* / lvl 42 / gear 5 )
Jedi Consular (3* / lvl 42 / gear 4) Upgraded to 3* this morning
Talia (3* / lvl 42 / gear 5)
Jawa (3* / lvl 42 / gear 3)
Clone Sargeant (2* / lvl 36 / gear 4)
Ewok Scout (1* / lvl 41 / gear 4)
Clone Sargeant (2* / lvl 41 / gear 4)
Royal Guard (1* / lvl 41 / gear 3)
Snow Trooper (1* / lvl 41 / gear 4)
Geonoshian Soldier (1* / lvl 41 / gear 2)
Plo Koon (3* / lvl 42 / gear 2) dropped this morning from a Bronzium card

Working on Primarily:
Darth Sidious - 55/80
Darth Vader - 35/80
Luminara Unduli 47/50
Ahsoka Tano - 21/25
CW Chewie - 34/65

and Just to try to get some more Jedi (not gonna happen before the Jedi event though at least I'll be ready if it ever comes around again):
Count Dooku - 8/50 - I know he is not a Jedi but want some balance on the Dark Side
Qui-Gon Jinn - 5/25
Mace Windu - 5/80 - Long term - I would like to have a Jedi Tank

Any other advice you guys can give or am I on the right path?

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

Hey, I just pulled Royal Guard!! FML.

Believe it or not, on bronze pulls only and random shard drops, he is almost at 4*. I would have loved to pull Plo Koon :(

Anyway, Cruzness, your path is like most F2P and the characters you have largely mimic what others at your level have.

If I were you I would direct massive Cantina farming into GS and do not stop until you hit the top. He is probably one of the top 3 damage dealers in the game and he is FAST. I would direct further resources into gearing him up but only at this time continue to train Chewie, JC (he should b ea big focus to get up to at least 5*), Talia and Jawa. GS and PK should be priorities.

Stop farming Dooku for now. His shard drops are very hard, and he is really not that great of a character until he gets to 6*. That will take forever. Continue to dedicate rewards as follows:

GW - Lumi to 6* then switch to Phasma to 5*
Arena - All Sid
Cantina - QGJ

Do not dedicate resources to players you do not anticipate using long term. You will soon find that training and credit resources are tough to come by!

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

Congrats!

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

Not his, that Yoda is.

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

I got Plo a bit earlier. There are only two places to farm shards for him. Cantina battle 4G and Dark Side 7C. Bariss has three DS nodes (5C, 5E and 8A). I will focus on her before I even think of farming Plo there. I don't see using up my Cantina energy for him either. I think that by the time I'm ready to go after Yoda, I'll have five other 5*-7* Jedi and a 3* Plo Koon.

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

Mace now 60/80. Still thinking I can at least get some Yoda shards this go around. QGJ now at 4*, he won't make 5* in time Catina rewards too slow.

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

$10 weekend is coming up. That'll give you a nice bump in Cantina energy!

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

What is a $10 weekend?

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

Josh treats himself to a $10 crystal purchase every weekend.

I succumbed to temptation and re-bought the 21-day pack myself. I'm enjoying blasting through the Cantina too much to wait around for recharges.

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

Killer! Got to use your Yoda today. Nice!!

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

That was fast! I just unlocked him an hour ago.

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

Got to use him twice now.

What tier did you have to get to unlock him?

I didn't realize before but I have 4/5 Jedi. Thinking of going for Eeth and stating Yoda event. Though I may only get to tier 2. 2* Jedi tier. Not sure if worth it. Plus I'm short on training droids to level up everyone.

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

He unlocks after the 5th tier. I got Mace to 5 this morning via cantina farming and then used a bunch of my arena tokens to get Ehhh(should be his name) to 5*.

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

Oh :lol: nice.

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

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

3 days in a row where i can't get past the midway point in GW. So frustrating! The grind is getting to me (shards, gear, etc). I think I'm done with this game. :mad:

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

Gooter, do you have a web cam or something? I bet I can get you past these levels with what you have. GW is an art. Once you know the strokes, you will do much better.

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

I fell onto this strategy and it was seconded by this guy from Reddit. It makes alot of sense if you believe GW is scaleable.

"Start your GW battles with your lowest ranking team that's capable of beating the first match. The rest of your matches will progress according to how high the stats are for your team. I've tested this time and time again. Don't start out with your strongest team or they will through lvl 70 geared out teams at you. "

I can say that it seems to ring true for me. I usually start out with a pretty crap team to save my big guys for later and I never realized it could actually be helping me!

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

Thanks Josh. Will try that out tomorrow. I usually open with the big guns.

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

I dunno, other than those two really hard ones, I always go with my strongest team of guys and just auto through every single one without issues. I think I'm ranked at around 250 right now, I might make a push to go into the sub-200's but I don't think it's worth it.

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

Flash what level are you?

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

60. The team I use is all 58+, 5*-6* mostly purple gear.
