Spending real money on this cheat of a game makes us all manatees.

Magmaguard will be March character of the month.

Cad Bane likely moving to farmable Catina nodes.

Slight clarification: the March character of the month will be a new character, likely Magma Trooper.

Finally unlocked Dooku this morning. That was a very slow farm. Should have just spent the $5 back in December. It'll be a while before I get through Mace in Cantina to switch to either Kylo, GS, or Dooku.

Recently, they made DoT be capable of knocking a character out. That seems to have reverted. Any idea why?

I haven't seen anything on the forums. Whenever stealth changes occur in this game, the answer always seems to be "whales".

DoT would take a character out. If it was able to revive itself, all character actions would be frozen out. If you were in the arena, it would simply count the time down to a draw. They reverted it until they could fix it. From what I read, it seemed as if the fix will probably need to come in an app store update.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
I have enough droids to level a character from 1 to 70 for 2.4M credits. I just don't have anyone I want to invest in right now. Poggle will be 6* soon but no other investment. I guess I'll do the same for IG-86 as well given all these free shards this month. Just kind of ... blah ... about where to go from here. Wish we knew for sure what another event will be so I can prepare for it too.

Keep going with IG-86. His crit can hit for 10k+ and at high levels he's assisting like crazy.

I would strongly consider Akbar if you need a new project. His dispell is incredible. It change the balance of the engagement in one move.

Groucho 02-22-16 12:19 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
My only problem with Akbar right now is that he doesn't dispel healing immunity, which appears to be a bug. Given how common Sid is in PVP it's pretty annoying not to have a counter for that.

I don't have Barrios Offee, but her health redistribution does "heal" through healing immunity.

pinata242 02-22-16 12:23 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Yoda and QGJ make LS battles a breeze with Lumi, JC, and even Poe doing no taunts. I finally have all 309 stars currently available.

Gooter 02-22-16 12:24 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Grind is getting to me but still plugging along for now. Appreciate some direction again on where to spend my loot.

Cantina: (I redeem about every other day)
QGJ - 3* (5/30 to 4*), G7, lvl 60
Daka - don't have (50/80 to obtaining)
JK Guardian - 2* (3/25 to 3*), lvl 1

Get QGJ to 5* then focus on Daka? Or JK Guard if going for Yoda (see below for more on this)?

Arena: (ranked 500-600, redeem once per day)
Sid - 6* (15/100 to 7*), G7, lvl 60
Eeth Koth - don't have
Savage Op - 3* (0/30 to 4*), lvl 8

I'm still one Jedi shy of 5 for the next Yoda event. Is it worth it to spend Arena tokens on Eeth and spend resources to level JK Guard? Or forget Yoda entirely and get Sid to 7*? Then focus on Savage?

GW: (lucky to get 400 to spend per day)
Lumi - 6* (25/100 to 7*), G7, lvl 60
Phasma - 5* (0/85), G7, lvl 60
IG-86 - 4* (50/65), G7, lvl 60 -- will be 5* once I claim all of Feb daily rewards

Thinking I'll just focus on Lumi to 7*?

Others:
GS 4* (62/65), G8, lvl 61
Luke 4* (0/65), G5, lvl 60
Talia 4* (0/65) G4, lvl 49
Mace - don't have (3/80)
No Bariss either

DVD Josh 02-22-16 12:40 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Gooter, I would focus on maxing Lumi and DS before anything else.

Next, i would focus on GS, IG-86 and Luke to 5* each as this meta loves offense.

Then I would return focus to Phasma to 7* as she's shaping up to be your leader.

Then go back to Daka b/c you will need a DS healer.

For Yoda, I'm assuming that you have three main Jedis - QGJ, JC and Lumi. At this point, you aren't going to get Yoda when he comes back around in March. So I would concentrate on five Jedi you will actually use. That means spending the next several weeks on Mace and Barriss. I don't care for Eeth and JK is very underpowered, although currently she has the highest gear level in the game for some reason.

BTW, where's Talia? I like her more than most and I'm seeing at higher levels she's quite useable.

DVD Josh 02-22-16 01:32 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
After an incredible run of shards in Cantina, I now have Mace at 5*. Need to level him up to 60 (he's at 55 now) but I need to keep credits for promotions of Lumi to 7*, and QGJ/IG-88/Poe to 5*, all of which happens this week. That's $2.5M credits for that alone, so he's going to have to wait. He'll be there by the Jedi event. I am working like hell to unlock Barriss' catina node (need to be L69 and I'll be there by the weekend or early next week). I am still 30+ shards from unlocking, so that's 100ish shards in less than three weeks to get my fifth 5* Jedi (Lumi, JC, QGJ, Mace and Barriss). I'm happy that I didn't cave to Eeth just to get Yoda as my team is much better for it in the long run.

pinata242 02-22-16 01:43 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Nice! I don't need Barriss because everyone else has her and Yoda just replaces the 5th Jedi anyway ;)

Well I have to get Barriss to get Yoda :).

Plus Barriss is the mack mommy in GW. Really looking forward to getting her to 5*. Probably early March at this point.

pinata242 02-22-16 02:03 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Not having Barriss and finishing GW every day, I can assure you she isn't necessary ;) I don't even use Lumi's leader ability. All about speed!

Hard to finish GW when you face full 70s on node 4 my friend. Plus you have a much, much better team than me b/c you are much, much better than me at this game.

Added Talia. I stopped focusing on her when I got other heroes.

Yes those 3 main jedis. I don't have the Bariss node unlocked yet

Thanks for the advice

I'm just giving you a hard time. I would love to have Barriss, but it never made sense to my squad. Plus I don't like you implying I'm wasting my time with Eeth! We'll see when everyone doubles down on droids for R2 in April!

GW can suck my circumcised dick. Full 70s and max gear on Node 6. Come the fuck on.

"We know GW is bugged. We know how to fix the bug. We just won't. But we will release useless new characters for whales to buy."

This is why I will never buy another chromium again. Ever. You can have my weekly $10 but fuck you for anything else.

Uh, no, that's not how it works at all. Squad power. Been confirmed all over the forums.

Plus, I have never challenged a 70s team in Arena. I'm a pussy like that. I purposely keep my rank below 40.

pinata242 02-22-16 03:34 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Another change I've noticed lately: QGJ's "Harmonious Assault" no longer kills on his attack, but will on the assist. Is this intentional? Maybe it does kill the enemy but gives me the benefit of the assist every time? Like if QGJ stood alone or the selected assister was stunned (another bug, imo), the enemy would die by QGJ's blade.

I don't have a lot of other dual-attacks out there. Is this true across the board now?

Yes, I've noticed the same on all specials which call assists. Happens to GS all the time. His special will kill HP but still calls the assist. Probably just in the programming. Sucks because you've essentially wasted it.

pinata242 02-22-16 03:39 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Unless the assister gets a buff from his/her attack like Yoda. Most of them are debuff so, yeah, that would be a waste.

I've not wanted to say it for I know it will curse me, but I auto through GW at this point, everyone surviving the whole thing 95% of the time. I'm usually ranked between 150-250 in arena. I seldom even see lvl 60 teams in GW anymore.

I use Sid Lvl 63 7* G7, Lumi Lvl 63 7* G7, JC Lvl 63 4* G8, Eeth Koth Lvl 61 5* G7, and Chewie Lvl 60, 5*, G6. Total Power 21,120.

GW is very inconsistent player to player. Enjoy those gems while you can!!

I'm getting all I can before I reach L70. As much problems as I am having, I hear they get worse when you hit 70 b/c part of the problem with the bug is that it doesn't take into account player level 70 and character level 70.

So between me and my mohel we beat GW today. The last node was only 66 but they were all max geared and it took 15 players to get through them. Reward? Greedo shard. I think they should change GW rewards to shard of choice.
