He's just a useless toon the devs decided to make relevant for a bit to convince the whales to spend on something until the cap rises and new game nodes are opened. After that, he'll be nothing again.

It's kind of sad that in this game a guy like Darth Maul is significantly weaker than a generic Royal Guard. In fairness you could say the same about GS.

I never saw a RG get sliced in half in a movie.

Also, to further prove my point that all RG is is a massive cash grab, he has been in 3/4, if not all, of my shipments since his buff. Not giving in to it though.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
RG is a wizard at the tank challenge. I've done very little to upgrade him so his health is low. If I can manage to keep him alive to reach the last stage, he stuns Mace Windu fairly regularly. Sometimes keeps him stunned the entire time.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
I've stopped spending crystals on refreshes right now but will instead go whole-hog after the level cap increases. 300/day in Cantina and 200/day in regular all to hit the new tiers and new cap more quickly. I just hope it comes sooner than later.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
I have roughly 2500 crystals... is my best bet to buy the big bundle Chromium Mega Pack or individual character shards? Also, I hate that I'm so addicted to this game. It's nonsense and shallow but fun nonsense.

pinata242 03-21-16 02:54 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Neither. You use crystals for energy refreshes that you use to farm gear and shards.

Chromium only leads you to buy more chromium when it gives you chromium-exclusive characters that will otherwise be stuck at 4*.

The character shards in shipments are 50/shard. This is a rip-off if you can farm that character elsewhere because 50 crystals will get you far more energy and chances for those shards + droids and credits and XP and gear.

Never buy chromium packs unless you are prepared to buy $1k worth of them. I'm serious.

Yep, just say no to Chromium packs!

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
Refresh the Cantina once or twice a day (1st refresh costs 100 crystals, 2nd refresh costs 200 crystals). Refresh the Light and/or Dark Side battles once or twice a day (the first two refreshes are 50 crystals each; refresh when you don't have enough energy to start another battle. don't refresh a hard node after the third battle).

DVD Josh 03-21-16 09:47 PM

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
So today was not my day for Purple and Shard drops. Got like nothing from each refill. So not doing my typical 200 level and 100 level refreshes. Wait for node to reset at 1am. Oh well. Win some, lose some.

I think we got Days of Spring. This is to make up for it to IOS users.

Although I agree with the posters here there is no reason IOS couldn't have gotten the cards.

2* Lando does nothing for me. Really don't intend to run Scoundrels.

1 more character to more Vader shards. I'll happily extend my bench.

Re: Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes (iOS & Android)
 
I'm happy to have the free character, but I wonder why Lando at 2*? Why not one that always unlocks at 2* like Greedo? Does it have anything to do with a supposed scoundrel event?

I've nearly got Barriss and Ahsoka to 5*. That'll give me two 7* and three 5*. I don't know how far above 5* I'll be able to take them by the time Yoda returns. Doubt I'll be starting to farm Lando soon.

Speaking of Yoda, the first time the event went away an exact date was given as to his return. But now it just says "Coming Soon" which may indicate that it'll be a while until you have another shot at him.

There's some discussion about this on the forums. The general belief is that it will in fact be more than a month before he comes back, leading to the thinking that there is an idea a new event is being contemplated and pondered.

383 Arena

So Old Daka really sucks in arena now. She never gets off her stun anymore and is just a liability. Not taking her beyond 6*. Maybe she'll be useful to get through the new Level 8 missions.

If they don't bring Yoda back next month, they should update their iOS app page. It says that Yoda will be available for one week each month.

HOT?

Magmatrooper is okay, kinda boring.

Just got my achievement for 200 Arena purchases. Next level is 1,000. And meanwhile they stop awarding for promotion? :rolleyes: I seriously have like 10 to do right now! And Vader is 55/65 to boot so he's coming up quick.

Datamined info says that they're going to celebrate the home release of Force Awakens by giving away Phasma to iOS users and Poe to Android users. Not great since I didn't start soon enough to get Poe and have Phasma at 95/100. I can save one GW shipments and get a few shard shop tokens.

Great for me as I have Phasma pretty much all the way to 7* and Poe is sitting at 5*. The shards will get him to 50/85 and I'll probably get him up to 6* at some point with the new Turtle Meta coming.
