Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Huh, I can't seem to keep him going even with TWO healers, so I dunno what I'm doing wrong, but I'm not really liking him so far. Maybe it's just the fact that I've noticed this in GW and he just isn't very useful there.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
When does Poe get good? I only have him at 3* but he's level 50 and each of his skills are fairly high level with level 4 gear, yet all he does is taunt, then usually dies after two rounds. He just takes way too much damage and doesn't have the HP (or a heal like Chewie) to handle it.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Dooku is highly manageable if you save him for last. Yes he has 100% counter chance and gets bonus attacks, but it's really those coupled with the other characters' regular attacks that do you in.
On the plus side, he is very squishy. If you can stun him either directly or by proxy with Daka's side-stun, you take him out immediately!

And Story, let me say if you ended up with Dooku from the 8 pack than it was worth every penny you spent. At 7* he's fucking ridiculous.
NP with the advice. Without Pinata and Chase, I would still be floundering along in the game. Happy to pay it forward a bit.

Okay, that makes sense then. I'll continue my Cantina grind as well until I get him to 5*.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
My 4* Poe makes it all the way through GW. Just make sure you gear and level him up and keep that "Stand Firm" skill growing. And I go for Dooku last

I like to go for healers first but now that Sid heal immunes I tend to focus on the heavy hitters first.

I'm only hovering right at 100 in Arena. But I'm also outclassed on my server because I wasted a few weeks just messing around.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Man, I'm just sitting here thinking about how Poe taunts on his first turn which enables Lumi to go before the other team and sometimes one-shot an exposed enemy with her force blast. It's got me all like

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
I've seen many calls for him to be nerfed. A heavy-hitter team coming behind that taunt can destroy half the enemies before they get a turn.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Hit level 65, so I updated this with the Tier 2 math.
Tier 2 looks to be a much better option if you have it unlocked because, for a single refresh of 50 crystals, you can get roughly 30% of what the 380 crystal special will unlock.
That seems like a windfall to me! I know I won't be getting gear or shards or anything from these keycard battles, but that's a lot of character leveling for a relatively small cost.
Tier 1 - 50 energy - Possible Rewards:
3* ( 750xp) x 6 = 4500xp
4* (1500xp) x 4 = 6000xp
5* (3000xp) x 3 = 9000xp
Total possible = 19,500xp
Tier 2 - 50 energy - Possible Rewards:
4* (1500xp) x 6 = 6000xp
5* (3000xp) x 4 = 15000xp
6* (6000xp) x 3 = 18000xp
Total possible = 39,000xp
Training Droid Pack - 380 crystals = 7.6 refreshes (912 energy equivalent):
5* (3000xp) x 45 = 135,000xp
So...
135,000xp/19,500xp (Tier 1 max) = 6.9 Tier 1 completions / refreshes
135,000xp/39,000xp (Tier 2 max) = 3.5 Tier 2 completions / refreshes
Assuming you don't always get the max rewards from the keycard battle, it appears to be about a wash at Tier 1.I can extrapolate that Tier 2 will blow away that equality even without seeing the actual rewards, but I will tomorrow unless someone else reports back. Of course, if Tier 2 costs more than 50 energy it will diminish its ratio.
3* ( 750xp) x 6 = 4500xp
4* (1500xp) x 4 = 6000xp
5* (3000xp) x 3 = 9000xp
Total possible = 19,500xp
Tier 2 - 50 energy - Possible Rewards:
4* (1500xp) x 6 = 6000xp
5* (3000xp) x 4 = 15000xp
6* (6000xp) x 3 = 18000xp
Total possible = 39,000xp
Training Droid Pack - 380 crystals = 7.6 refreshes (912 energy equivalent):
5* (3000xp) x 45 = 135,000xp
So...
135,000xp/19,500xp (Tier 1 max) = 6.9 Tier 1 completions / refreshes
135,000xp/39,000xp (Tier 2 max) = 3.5 Tier 2 completions / refreshes

I have to get Chewie up to the mid 50's since he is my only viable taunter right now. I was cruising through GW everyday untill I hit level 50. Now I'm lucky to get 400 War Tokens a day. 15 more shards untill I unlock Poe and Phasma.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
He's so slow though. Poe's speed is what makes him a great taunter.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Unlocked Kylo & Vader at the same time the other night, how fitting. Now trying to get them leveled and geared is a bitch when you're trying to keep your current team leveled. I'm finding myself constantly short on training droids.
Stage 6-E Lothal(Hard mode) was a bitch! I'm currently at level 61 but I've been trying to finish that mission since I was lvl 58. Those troopers with the grenades are killer even running with Luminara, Consular and borrowing Barriss to heal. I was finally able to complete it but only with 2*'s and it was mostly thanks to getting Luminara's heal ranked up for that 2nd pulse.
I'm guessing my level was too low to tackle it...either that or my Light Side team just isn't that strong. I'm running Luminara 6*, Consular 5*, Chewie 4*, QGJ 2*, and Mace Windu 4* and then I borrow Barriss. My only other options for LS characters are Jawa, Ashoka Tano and some Ewoks.

I would probably recommend ventress if you can borrow her instead. Her stun seems like it would be key to stopping the grenade onslaught (Jawa and Luke would be helpful as well as they both can stun).
