Oh, they were creampuffs. So much so that I went after Palpatine first. It was improper taunting and imperial officers that did Chewie in

Very unlikely I win GW today. FFS, everyone I'm facing is 10 levels higher than me and they all have fucking Dooku.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
So, Arena. Clearly I'm doing it wrong by not finishing as close to 6pm as possible. I get comfortably into the top 100 then find myself back just outside every day. When do you play your 5 daily matches? Do you refresh?

I'm usually playing mine throughout the day. If I am close to a prize border (rank 50 or rank 20), I will save one match to "snipe" at 5 minutes to 6pm. If you are in a match during the last 5 minutes, then no one can challenge your team.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
I'm not the type to say 'I told you so', but... 
I have yet to finish a GW because of that guy. I almost always get matched up against a team 10 levels higher than me with him on it, and it's literally just impossible to beat. He'll do that back-to-back strike that he has and kill my characters instantly. I think his primary attack has a 50% chance to attack again, but I swear when the AI is controlling him, he ALWAYS gets it. Plus, he stuns and ability blocks. Plus, he counters. I never get to take a damn turn.

Got my 50th Dooku shard today, and will get sidious tonight with the arena drop. My Darkside squad is much stronger than my Lightside. I think I will stop going for Boba Fett and start going for Qui-Gon since he is 25 shards.

Well, if it matters, Boba opens as a 4* when you unlock and QGJ only at 2*.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Agreed. Daka is a far more essential DS character for those battles because conventional wisdom says you're going to get Sidious and Dooku and Phasma anyway. Fett would just be part of a rotating cast on your way to Kylo and Vader.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Today was the hardest GW I have had in weeks. I painted myself into a corner earlier by having Phasma in the yellow and no ready-to-use heals. That was for battle 6 against Kylo, IG-86, GS, Lumi, and Phasma. It was a bloodbath to get to the end. Normally I get to the end with my starting 5 but this time I had to sacrifice two teams and two tanks en route. Chalk another one up, though!

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
I went with Qui-Gon. With him I've been able to beat the 2nd tier of the AGI challenge. I still needed more currency before I had enough for Poe and the extra gear is helpful.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Who do you actively farm in Cantina Battles? I recently got Kylo (4*) and GS (1*). I am going to keep farming for QGJ, but I'm not really sure whose nodes make the most sense. Who would you do?
GS - All the way to 7*. He's a Glass Cannon, but with IG-86 shards this month, maybe it's time to work on that droid/geonosis team!
Luke - You already have him at 3* and pretty leveled and geared up and he's the weak link on your LS team. Might as well make him more viable.
Chewbacca - Same as Luke, but made obsolete by Poe.
Talia - Already 4* and purple gear, but not really useful any more, even on the DS team with Sid, Phasma, Vader, Daka, and Kylo.
JC - 6*, level 8 gear, staple of your teams already, take him to 7*!
IG-100 - If you're going for droid/geonosis team, this is your next guy.
Kylo - Keep on him, your DS team needs emo beef.
IG-86 - Double down with the free shards this month and max him quick!
Nightsister Acolyte, Jawa, Dathcha, Finn, Biggs, Mace, Plo Koon - Just work on unlocking these people because it will help you get Vader to 5* faster.

Really liking my Arena lineup of: DS, Luminara, Poe, JC, and GS. Even set to auto I'm beating teams that are 1000+ power level higher than me.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
As soon as the Arena awards hit in 9 hours, Sidious will be 7*. Not being in love with any of the current choices, I think I'm going to stockpile tokens and hope the update brings someone new and exciting or the Shard Shop entices me to exchange excess Sidious fragments.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
Won my first GW in a long time. I was down to my J team it seemed like. Tired of facing teams with 10k more power than me and all 6-7* and purple gear'd out.
Unlocked QGJ today, which is nice, but he's really unpowered at 2*. Need to get him geared up. Will take a few days.

This explains why GW is harder for some than others:

If i had known this, I would never have climbed into the Top 25, I would have hovered at 200 or so b/c in the long term, GW gems are far more valuable.
