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

And I'm telling you, he's not even that good. Low health and low speed. Seems to synergize well with droids, but most F2P don't have 88 and 47 starred up where they need to.

I'm not giving up two months of building time for GG. He's cool but not worth it.

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

My player level is 52 and my current roster is:

Darth Sidious - (5* / lvl 52 / gear 6 )
Geonoshian Soldier (4* / lvl 52 / gear 6)
Talia (4* / lvl 52 / gear 6)
Clone Wars Chewie (4* / lvl 52 / gear 6)
Luminara Unduli (4* / lvl 52 / gear 5)
Qui-Gon Jinn - (3* / lvl 50 / gear 5)
Jedi Consular (3* / lvl 42 / gear 5)
Plo Koon (3* / lvl 46 / gear 4)
Jawa (3* / lvl 46 / gear 4)
Royal Guard (1* / lvl 44 / gear 4)
Clone Sargeant (2* / lvl 45 / gear 4)
Ahsoka Tano (2* / lvl 45 / gear 3)
Ewok Scout (1* / lvl 40 / gear 4)
Snow Trooper (1* / lvl 40 / gear 4)
IG86 -Sentinel Droid (1* / lvl 44 / gear 4)

Leveling Up (in this order):
Darth Sidious 0/85
Geonoshian Soldier 35/65
Luminara Unduli 63/65
Talia 21/65
Qui-Gon Jinn 10/30
Jedi Consular 21/30
Clone Wars Chewie 51/65

Also working on:
Darth Vader - 51/80
Yoda - 50/145 ( I was able to get 5 jedi but it will be a while to get them to level 5)
Count Dooku - 17/50
Mace Windu - 8/80 - Long term - I would like to have a farmable Jedi Tank

Any other advice you guys can give ?

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

Seems like you're doing just fine. Are you working on Talia and Chewie just through hard missions? I wouldn't do them through Cantina as there's always someone better (Rey, Kylo, Luke, Jedis for Yoda, etc)

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

You are lucky as hell. That's all I can say. I see Lvl 60 teams on the very first node. By the time I reach the 3rd or 4th node, the teams are 5 levels above me and 7 star characters. It's literally impossible for me to finish a GW anymore. Hell, I consider myself lucky if I can get far enough to earn 400 shards in a day. And I can rarely even accomplish that.

I keep my arena rank between 200-300, so that obviously doesn't make a difference.

My squad is Lvl 63 Bariss 4* G7, Lvl 63 HK-47 5* G7, Lvl 62 Sid 6* G7, Lvl 61 Lumi 4* G7, Lvl 61 JC 4* G8. Total power is 18,720. So my squad power doesn't make a difference either. I get completely outmatched. Constantly. All my other characters are only in the rank 50's and under. If I try to bring them in just to weaken the opponent, it doesn't work cuz they end up getting killed in 1 hit because they're 10+ levels below the enemy. GW can suck my ass. :lol:

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

Yes. Talia and Chewie are being farmed through Hard missions. Geonoshian Soldier is the only thing I am after right now in Cantina battles and Qui Gon Jinn is my redeemable character in there. Lately I've been getting stuck against unbeatable teams in Galactic War Node 7/8 so it has been slow going in upgrading Luminara.

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

Gonna finish JC & Mace in a few days, hopefully over the weekend. Not sure who I should focus on in Cantina. Options:

Kylo - 4* - 0/65
Dooku - 3* - 0/30
IG-86 - 4* - 0/65 (Just got 7 more from a Bronzium character prize) <s>3* - 23/30</s> - About to get 8 more from Daily and I'll switch to him in GW after Poggle is 6*
GS - 1* - 1/15
Barriss - 0* - 9/80
IG-100 - 0* - 6/25 - Only because I seem to be building a droid/geo team anyway, but I think I'd much rather get HK and/or 88 from Arena.

No one else really does anything for me.

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

GS without question. Self-turn meter manipulation, hits like a truck, very easy farm.

Hard not to make an argument for Dooku though. I open up node 6 on Catina tomorrow. Barriss is the focus for the return of Yoda, need 85 shards before then.

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

Not for nothing, another thing to consider is the token/energy ratio and if that makes any discernible difference in redeeming them.

21/12 = 1.75
17/10 = 1.70
13/8 = 1.625

When you are spending 360 energy/day, that yields 630, 612, 585 tokens respectively. So, if you are going for someone there, maybe it makes more sense to go for Barriss/Dooku (1.75) over GS (1.625).

Just a thought for everyone :)

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

I really didn't have much of a choice in the matter as I am not L69 yet and won't be until at best Friday, but more likely Saturday. I'm at 50/85 on GS to 6* but I just did some quick math and I need around 6 Barriss shards per day to get Yoda. That is impossible with just hard missions, so once the node opens for me I will be farming the hell out of it. I would like to get Talia up to 5* since she is one of the stars of my GW B team, but it's a long term project with her.

I need to get Dooku. If you can't beat 'em join 'em.

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

I think my next GW project is going to be resistance pilot. I got him from a bronze and haven't really done much with him, but I've faced him a few times in GW and he hits almost as hard as GS. might be a nice plug in character for RNG manipulation on an assist from time to time. Working on Poggle now, and may sprinkle in a shipment of RP when I can manage to clear GW from time to time to see how he works out.

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

RP was going to be someone I went after when I thought I wanted a Resistance team. Since you have GS and Poggle, I think you would be happier with 86 due to the synergies those characters.

I do have RP at 2*, 49, G2, 3/3/3. If you do go for him, I'd like to hear if he was worth it. He has some sweet bonuses if he has the ability to not die immediately.

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

I've got 86 at 4* and then some with the login rewards. I think you are right, I will get him up to 5* then onto RP.

Oddly, your RP is the same as mine but I've got him at G5.

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

I love my GS (5* G7 L62). He (or it?) is in my top3. I've seen 7k crits with him when Sid is the leader. His normal hits are above 2k. Definitely the hardest hitter on my current team.

But still would love Bariss and Dooku (just because he pisses me off so much when I face him). I have Dooku actually but just unlocked him. He will be stuck at 3* for awhile.

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

I think people just don't know how to deal with Dooku. He doesn't have much HP, but his 100% counter and frequent bonus attacks piss people off, so if you're going to hit him, hit him hard. Typically, for me, a QGJ Harmonious Assault with anyone else followed by Lumi's Force Blast is enough to put him down.

The big thing with Dooku that people don't realize is that he gets a huge turn meter bump when he attacks outside of his turn. This means that you need to further minimize how many shots you take at him. Frequent, soft AoEs are going to backfire.

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

I just brought Poggle to 6*. He's still L1 and G1 so his power is only 264 :lol:

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

I know how to deal with Dooku but listen, 4-5k of damage per turn, and then the same on a counter, is tough to handle for alot of characters.

What I tend to do in GW is if I'm using QGJ lead, figure out what position the assist is coming from and then put GS into it. That really fucks his shit up. Usually after that I can use Sid's AOE and put his ass to bed.

If that's not my team, I tend to leave him for the end. But high level Dookus do hit pretty hard.

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

That's an interesting tactic: see assist, retreat, move personnel, repeat. I never thought of that!

Typically, I leave Dooku for the end. I can tell you that Yoda definitely makes him easier to deal with. Yoda gets Foresight to deal with his counter and can also start the battle by giving everyone Tenacity+ to not only avoid his/Daka's stuns but Sid/Kylo's healing immunity.

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

I'm glad to be the one to help you for a change!!

I hope to have Yoda by the end of the event at *5. I've got Lumi at 7* and JC/QGJ/Mace at 5*. Barriss is at 65/80. I unlock her Catina node hopefully by Saturday morning. Then I need to spend all catina resources on her. If she drops a few times in shipments I'll probably pick them up to help the process. With luck, I should be able to do it.

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

With two Cantina refreshes each day giving me 36 chances for Mace on 4-A plus 3 on a Hard mission, I get 10-15 shards each day. Barriss's 6-A takes more energy to sim, but she also has 5-C and 5-E DS Hard missions. If you're okay spending on refreshes, she should be within reach, easily.

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

There's a limit on how high we can climb in PVP each day. There should also be a limit to how far we can fall. Used to be comfortably in the 30s, now I have to struggle to get back into the top 100 each day. Bogus. I'm not going to spend crystals on this (yet).

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

Lots of complaints about that on the forums.

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

I heard that the new "Rex" pack was released today. I didn't see it. That's when I found out the shit hit the crazy fan. At least I can rest assured that although I haven't been tracking it, I haven't yet spent $200 on this game:

https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.star...ta-pack#latest

Greetings,

Are you looking for another way to unlock CT-7567 “REX”? If you are then today is the day! We released a new type of Pack to the store for players who have spent at least $199.50 US Dollars (or region equivalent) in game, the Aurodium Data Pack.

This pack is able to be purchased multiple times for 750 Crystals.

The contents of the pack are:

CT-7567 “REX” character shards OR a chance at unlocking the entire character.
5 Synergy character shards (CT-5555 OR Plo Koon, OR Clone Sergeant Phase 1)
100K Credits
10 4-star Training Droids
2 Ability Material MK III

This is a horrible deal and you would be a complete idiot to buy it. Obviously give that it only appears to certain players, it caters to the stupid.

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

Jesus. So these are the new character packs we were teased? If the buy-in is $200, they are not only catering to the stupid, they are stupid. Why wouldn't you price everything at $5? Why not 5-character themed squads for $20? Why not mass market? Do the whales truly spend that much on random pulls that they don't need the little guys picking and choosing?

I've already spent $42 on this game just for crystals. I don't know how often I'll do that. But if I could have spent $42 on a Jedi squad and a Droid squad I would be far more likely to drop more on a Rebels squad in the future.

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

Today alone, I farmed enough shards to activate Asajj Ventress, Plo Koon, Eeth Koth, and Qui-Gon Jinn, PLUS on my first and last free Bronzium Cards of the day, I was awarded URoRRuR'R'R and Boba Fett.

Too many characters!

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

Arena is still a madhouse on my server. Top 1000 is about where you see all 70's teams, and my own rank fluctuates about 400 slots over the course of the day.

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

You must be on a really early server. I can maintain top 50 even having only one 7* in my lineup.

So I'm using two unique strategies right now:

1) Farming Poggle and Barriss but not activating them until enough shards for 5*. The reason is that these guys seem to be fairly common full character bronze pulls and since I don't NEED either right per se (for Poggle my droid team is still not quite ready and Barriss I'm getting primarily for Yoda) I figure it's worth it to see if I luck into a full character pull for either. That will put me fairly close to 6* on both. VERY low chance of it happening but worth the risk since I don't have to have either right now.

2) I just made L69 (yay!). However, the only daily rewards I will be taking for here on out are the GW reward (for the 5 crystals and 25k credits) and the card reward (for the 200 ally points). My rationale is that it will delay by a day or more my level rise to 70, where I hear many folks GW problems really start. This should at least allow me to finish unlocking Poggle before that happens.

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

Unless they raise the max again (which is very likely given that there are references throughout the game of higher levels than 70) by the time guilds roll around (hopefully soon) we will all be max level or close to it.

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

We should be a pretty decent guild I think. We'll have several max players and many others in the 60s. Plus we have this forum to talk. I'm glad Pinata agreed to be our leader :).

I'm hearing that the level increase is coming sooner rather than later. Some grumblings that it will be around the time Yoda comes back around. There is a question as to whether they will raise it all the way to 80 or to 76.

It will cost millions of credits to upgrade characters. Tens of millions.

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

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

Oooo, it's a banner day. I can now SIM the AGI challenge. Finally. I hate that one (all challenges really).

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

I'm getting to the point where every gear I need to craft requires 50 salvage. Across every character, sometimes multiple times. This is not going to be a joyful experience.

Also, I think I may switch from Poe to ST Han for my tank. Sure, he's not fast, but once he gets his taunt off, he's just speeding everyone else up. Either that or get 88 and HK. I'll figure that out in the next few days once Eeth hits 7*.

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

I just 6* GS, man that guy is a beast. I have Dooku at 4*, I average about 2 shards per day for him. That's going to take a while, but I just love playing with him.

Gear is rough. I feel I have to progress the light and dark side battles right now to open up the battles to get the pieces. Right now I only have one person in purple gear.

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

Unless the piece is blocking an entire gear level, I am ignoring the 50 pieces right now. Not an efficient use of energy. Concentrate on making your bench better. When the caps go up to 76/80, you will be happy to you did to eat some of the whale chum.

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

Which is what I have been doing. But if the cap goes above 70, I will want to be ready for the new gear levels too. That's why it's going to suck.

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

I'm convinced shard drop rate is inversely proportional to the number you have. Been stuck between 95-100 for Mace forever! Ready to finish him and JC and move on to GS.

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

I would like to see characters with passive abilities of increasing drop rates but are otherwise dead weight. Like "Jawa Scavenger" for gear and maybe someone like Mon Mothma for shard/recruitment rates. Similar DS characters, but I'm not creative enough to think of them now. Maybe either double the drop rates or give double chances per run, even resulting in 2 drops. That'd be sweet.

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

I can now get Lumi to 7* and Sid will be there in 2 days. Is it worth the creds (1mil each) to get them there or keep at 6*?

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

Get them both to 7*. I use them both for everything I do in the game.

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

Ditto. Plus, it just feels good!
