Cool about Old Ben, too bad I have no need for another Jedi at this time, especially starting from scratch!

Do wish they'd mention something about another character promotion achievement for Vader shards. I have several ready to go!

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

I was coming to post that because SOMEONE told me they didn't read the official forums (read - you poophead).

:)

Anyway, the most interesting news is that Old Ben is now farmable. I would have thought Leia would be first (or you know, any darkside character) but the race is now on for F2P to get him. This is another reason why I'm going to continue to farm Ventress, she is the perfect foil for Old Ben. I also don't really need another Jedi at this point and will continue working on Dooku as well. If I see a team of Old Ben/Yoda, they are getting Sid, Ventress, and Dooku thrown at them, plus PTL and 88. Destruction, terror, and mayhem.

:lol: I don't. I saw it on the ever-so-annoying FB group in my feed.

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

I always knew they would buff Ashoka and now I kind of wish I had farmed her instead of Mace. But I already had like 20 Mace shards for some reason so it made sense to do him. She's still very slow, even with QGJ boost, and I think they will continue to work on Mace since the forums want them to badly.

I'm a little burned out on Jedi right now so this news doesn't really excite me all that much TBH.

I'm with you Pinata. Where are the chances to get more Vadar shards? At least add him to a hard node so we can move up a little quicker.

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

I get him being exclusive, but now that they restored his 6* and 7* forms and got rid of whatever exploit people were using, they need to step up and let the diehards put in the time to progress him.

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

The highest I've known anyone to get to is 27/85 and they report there are no more achievements to achieve.

I think ultimately he gets added to a cantina node but I would like to see an event similar to Yoda to get him up to 7*.

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

If that's the case, then I suppose it's safe for me to start promoting. I didn't realize they'd all run out.

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

Lumi Lvl 66 6*
Poe Lvl 64 5*
JC Lvl 65 6*
Sidious Lvl 67 6*
GS Lvl 65 6*

Everyone has purple gear. Best I can do is pretty much around 500, but I get bumped out quick. Something changed in the last couple of weeks. Previously I was flirting with top 100, and I wouldn't need to do more than my 3 daily (and not even win much) to stay in that area, now I shift up 100+ spots a day, way more if I manage to get into the 200's (but I think that's impossible now).

So pretty

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

The developers didn't take Daylight Savings Time into account so there's no midnight reset?! Bizarre.

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

So there is no new character in the squad awards correct? I guess I ll be going for either Han or Ventress. Now my concern is wheteher to keep boosting JC from cantina or go for Ben. He's currently 5* 28/85 or just go to Ben. Ahsoka will be the next person I use cantina awards for. Next Yoda cycle I maybe able to go for him.

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

Ben can't heal anyone and will always go after Yoda. Use Battle Meditation from Yoda and Ben's Mind Trick is useless. JC has the most reliable heal in the game. You definitely want him up to at least 6* or GW will get to be impossible.

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

No, that's incorrect. The game is based on UTC which does not recognize DST. The game is global.

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

So cool. Is this essentially the Yoda Effect?

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

Are you on a mature server?

I will say though that team doesn't scare me at all. You only have one assist caller, no speed boosts, a very weak character defensively in JC and Poe is gone in 1 round. You need to make yourself less attractive to hit. QGJ is the easiest way to do that.

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

Yeah, this is after he gains foresight, steals opponents buffs, and passes everything he has to the team. You can't guarantee you can even keep foresight to his next turn, let alone a huge cascade like this. It helped that Phasma's Victory March sped everyone up so Yoda could go again quickly.

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

That's awesome. But the real question is, did you win? :p

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

It was a nail-biter!

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

No idea about the server. You got a point, my team is pretty standard. I do have quite a few other characters at 5-6*, and I'm working on Han now. I just won't have the training droids or the money to level them up.

Any suggestions for who to replace? Here are some of my other characters that aren't quite as built up:
Old Daka Lvl 64 4*
Mace Lvl 58 6*
QGJ Lvl 61 5*
Phasma Lvl 52 6*
Yoda Lvl 33 5*
I'm at 20/50 for Han.

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

You don't need two healers in GW, typically. Definitely drop JC. Daka is okay because her primary role isn't healer, but stunner and reviver.

QGJ is a game-changer. Especially as leader with top-level skill. He makes everyone faster, not just Jedi (unless they fixed that and i missed it?).

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

I have no idea why you are farming Phasma from GW and Han from Arena with Lumi/Sid at only 6* each. You need to raise both to 7* pronto. All cantina resources should be going to QGJ to get him to 6* and if you want to get Daka to 5* before returning to Jin for 7* I could get with that.

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

Edit - Up above I said "You don't need two healers in GW". That's false. What I meant was "You don't need two healers in Arena", which is what we were talking about. Sorry for the confusion.

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

Truth be told I'm not sure you really need any healers for Arena. If you are a DPS team you may not have any. I routinely see Phasma, Kylo, QGJ, GS and Dooku teams and there isn't a healer in the bunch.

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

Bah, I just figured that going to 7* wasn't really worth it. I did actually just get JC to 7* though. I guess I should go back to Lumi/Sid? Sid won't be better off replaced with someone else I already have?

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

Huh, that's interesting. I've never not run with two healers. I'll have to give it a try.

So, 7* JC or 6* Lumi for Arena?
