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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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).

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!

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.

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.

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)

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*.

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.

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.

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.
