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

How did you manage to get Dookuu to 7*??

I, for the life of me, cannot get 3 stars on the Cantina challenge which unlocks his shard for farming.

I have 7* JC, Lumi, Sid, IG-86, Tarkin and a few others. I normally make my team consist of:

Lumi (leader), Sid, JC, 5* Dooku and IG-86. Any advice on who to swap in for that team? On the 3rd round of that Cantina node, I get absolutely smoked.

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

Count Dooku was one of the first characters I got, and it was in the 8-pack that usually has a bad ROI but worked in my favor:

As soon as 19K wrote this in return, I immediately made farming his upgrades my number one priority:

He's pretty awesome, yes. :)

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

I play every day. I started 2-3 months ago and basically just do the dailies and full GW and Challenges every day. By now I have about 18 7* characters, all level 70, so still room to grow.

I won't spend money on the game but don't feel I need to. It's the only game I play on my phone so I'm glad it's lasting a long while.

If you like it, I'd say just jump in each day!

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

Ok. I'll keep at it. Thanks!

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

I'm attacking when the announcement comes and the later all clear. Actually I wouldn't mind some advice on who to go after next.

My main team is Mace, QGJ, Lumi, Phasma as leader and Eeth. All are 7*, all are purple, all are 80. Team B is Sid, JC and Yoda. Same deal. I have Ahsoka at 7*, purple, and level 80. Greedo is level 73 iirc, purple, and 62/100 shards. I'm hoping to 7* him this weekend. After that, no one is really super close.

Vader is 79, but he's 55/65 shards, at 4*, so not helpful. In Cantina rewards, I was trying to decide between leveling up Boba Fett (45/65, purple, level 54) or unlocking Poe (44/50 shards) or finishing JKG (31/85 shards, purple, level 73). Cantina itself I'm pretty much going for Dooku exclusively (44/65, blue, level 45)

In the Arena store after I'm done Greedo, I wasn't sure if to unlock Tarkin, HK-47, or Han, though leveling IG-88 is an option too (21/30, purple, level 56).

In GW, I'm working on Cad (18/85, blue, level 41) but after that I was trying to decide between Biggs (1/65, blue level 50), IG-86 (3/85, purple, level 55), RP (25/65, blue level 48) or Magma (20/85, blue, level 47).
Light and Dark battles switch between gearing up and whoever I'm close to unlocking/leveling.

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

For your consideration - Droid teams seem to be the new meta from what I am seeing in GW and what I have read on SWGOH forums. Big Dps from an all droid team. I avoid droid teams in arena. Hk47 / JE in the lead with IG86, IG88 and Poe makes for a potent combo.

I'm also on the fence as far as who to start collecting Shards.

In Cantina I have collected Qui Gon and have Ahsoka ready to 7* waiting on credits. I am thinking about going after Old Daka, Fives or Poe.

In Arena I have Sid, Savage and Asajj. all @ 7*s and I am working on collecting Ackbar 31/65. With Leia coming soon I will work on her next.

In GW I have Phasma, Lumi and 86 (he is awaiting credits for 7*s) and I am working on Teebo. Thinking Poggle next if I can time him with collecting other droids.

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

Here are my characters:

http://i67.tinypic.com/3094t2u.png
http://i64.tinypic.com/244cttx.png

I'd love advice as no matter what I choose, I can't seem to get much over 100,000 in damage. It may be because I'm not 80 yet, but almost all the 7* characters here are equipped up to VIII or IX. Any suggestions?

(For that matter, might be fun to hear suggestions for PVP too just to try something different...)

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

Hopefully you are pushing like crazy to get Ahsoka up to 7* so you can get Yoda to 7*. If not you are doing it wrong. Very wrong.

With what you have now, I would use a team of:

Phasma (L)
Geo Solider
QGJ
86
88 (ultimately you will want to replace 88 with Rey)

You need to use the door better. When you enter the Pit, attack the door immediately so it drops. Use only basic attacks.

When the Rancor gets stuck, use Speed Down from Phasma and unload on the Rancor. If speed down does not apply, reset and retry.

When the door comes up, it's pretty much RNG at that point. Just fire away and use Victory March when it comes up. You should really try to get QGJ to 76 so you can put an Omega on his basic for TM reduction.

Good luck.

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

All great advice. Yes, I'm very much pushing to get Ahsoka to 7*. In fact, I'm a measly 14 shards away from it today...and Yoda to 7* by extension. Just don't know if I can get those 14 shards before Yoda goes away.

My plan is to spend my shards ONLY on Cantina battle refreshes and Ahsoka battle refreshes...and hopefully get them over the next couple days. I'm sure I can get 10 shards from the Cantina battles. But the Ahsoka battles are completely random...so it's up to the game... :shrug:

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

Hey guys, can I get some advice? I'm looking for priorities for the next few weeks. I need gear... Bad. I need Rey... Bad. I've not bought gear with crystals, but I'm going to have to. I've been spreading my energy too thin. So, I'm hoping you can help advise me on toons to focus on for raids (P2/3 damage is only 100k-150k) and PVP (I'd like to be able to regularly finish top 50 but I usually wind up 80 - 150). Although GW became a real chore for a while, I can reliably complete it each day again, so I'm not worried about it. My current notable roster (sorted by power) is:

QGJ: 80/7/9(3/6) - Omega
Daka: 78/7/9(0/6) - Omega
Lumi: 80/7/8(5/6)
GS: 79/7/8(4/6) - Omega
Barriss: 77/7/8(3/6)
Eeth: 72/7/8(4/6)
Phasma: 80/7/8(4/6) - Omega
JC: 75/7/8(5/6)
PtL: 65/7/8(2/6)
Teebo: 65/7/8(3/6)
Sid: 73/7/8(0/6)
Dooku: 75/7/8(0/6)
IG86: 71/7/8(3/6)
Yoda: 64/7/8(3/6)
Fives: 63/6(51/100)/8(2/6)
Chirpa: 63/7/8(1/6)
EE: 62/6(25/100)/8(0/6)
Rey: 70/5(40/85)/8(4/6)
IG88: 61/7/7(5/6)
RG: 70/5(19/85)/7(4/6)
AA: 65/5(152/85)/7(3/6)
RP: 50/6(100/100)/6(0/6)
STH: 51/4(30/65)/6


I've been working on: Guild = Rey and EE, Cantina = RG and Fives, PVP = AA, GW = just finished RP and have just been saving credits.

If a furnace shows up in the shipments, I'm going to buy it for Rey and get her started on G9.

Rey's stars, gear, and levels are top priority. What else should I focus on to help PVP (getting top 50 will help me get crystals to buy gear) and raid damage? I appreciate the help!

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

What is the team you use in PvP?

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

I just got Dooku to 7* and added him to hopefully get fewer looks heh. I was using Lumi before Dooku.

Phasma, QGJ, GS, Daka, Dooku.

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

I would use Dooku as lead (I find evasion to be better than the TM boost Phamsa offers), with QGJ (for his anti-taunt), Daka (for her stuns), GS (for DPS). The fifth could be another DPS character (like Rey), or a tank (in lieu of RG, you may want to use ST Han).

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

Thanks, Chase. Which toons would you say I should focus on increasing gear levels? Is there a definite toon at G9 or G10 that would be a more immediate (and hopefully easier) benefit for PVP and Raid?

I'm a few days from getting AA to 7*, and then I'll work on Leia (been thinking that since I was 12 years old). Do you recommend continuing farming RG in cantina? I've been refreshing cantina too, but if it would be better to save the crystals for buying gear, I'll do that. Thanks!

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

I would say QGJ. He is very useful in both PvP and the Raid. Heck, I even use him in GW.

RG is a very good tank to use in PvP. In fact it is rare to find anyone in the top 20 without it. I would continue to farm him if it is feasible.

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

I've been getting advice to focus strongly on QGJ and RG and haven't been disappointed. Right now I'm working on getting my RG to 7* and G9...very close. QGJ is in much better shape and I'm putting omegas on him now. Makes a difference!

And, of course, Rey. :P

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

My Samsung Galaxy S5 went into the pool for three seconds yesterday and while it's booting up after the rice trick, it won't charge so now it's dead. Any ideas?

I'll be out until I get this resolved. Sorry, Guild!

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

You could always play on your PC using Bluestacks

http://www.bluestacks.com/

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

You could also just get a cheap throwaway off ebay until you're ready to replace it so at least you can play and make emergency phone calls. I'll let you decide which is more crucial. ;)

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

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

As advised, I got QGJ up to G10, GS to G9, and Dooku is 1 piece from G9. I leveled the rest of the team (Dooku, QGJ, Daka, GS, Phasma) to 80 too. I had to buy (with saved crystals) a couple of gear items, and I had better luck on the gear nodes. I finished PVP at 55 tonight (lost my final match vs #47). So I've definitly seen improvement already.

I believe I've read David-Olivier say a few times that RG is viable in PVP at 5*. What gear should RG be for 5* to work? I have terrible luck farming RG in cantina and nodes.

One last thing, I almost have Fives to 7* and could quickly be G9. Would he be a good replacement for somebody on my team (pvp or raid)?

Wait, one last thing for real, Rey is almost 6*. Is she viable before 7* and at certain gear (either pvp or raid)?

Thanks again for all the help!

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

Gear will always be more important than stars. Find your team, regardless of current stars, and level and gear them up. The stars will follow.

For PVP, Phasma and Daka should be the first out and Rey and RG the first in.

Fives is okay because he has counter-attack and high health and high tenacity (in my experience versus him) but he's slow.

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

Imprint, I just got Rey to 6* and found her completely viable in PvP at 5*, G9.

I have my RG at 5*, G8, but he's not powerful enough yet. He's not horrible, but nothing to write home about. D-O assures me that once RG hits G9, he'll be waaay better, so I'm moving there now. Hard to get the gear, so I'm about 3-5 days away still.

I've found Phasma great in just about any mode, even at 7*, G8.

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

You also don't want to bring characters too early into PvP, as that will make you a easier target. People will see you have a 5* character and attack more often than they would if you had a 6 or 7*.

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

I finally started playing this game due to the buzz around here. Level 30, but don't really know what I'm doing other than fighting battles, and upgrading and equipping characters. I have tons of energy, currency, and purple jewels that I've started to spend.

I sent out a few ally requests (code is 852-455-234).

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

It took me a while to figure out what I was doing. This thread was just posted a couple days ago. The mod's first post sums up a lot of what you need to know to get started right: https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfH...r_a_3_days_of/

You'll soon get to the point where you spend all your energy and most of your credits every day. You don't have to, but for best results, you'll at least have to spend all your energy daily (and you'll have so many SIMs, that'll literally take about 2 minutes to do). What becomes time consuming at higher levels is Galactic Wars, but you can get in a routine with good characters to knock it out in about 20-25 minutes on auto and it's not only fun, but rewarding.

And at level 30 you don't have access to much of it yet, but there are multiple activities you can do each day that become entirely addicting as you create your favorite teams. Feel free to ask any questions here.

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

Okay, I'm trying to figure this one out, need all your help. Got a new phone. Turns out, I never linked my account on my old phone to Google Play, just a Guest account. Can't believe it, but that's what happened. On the new phone, I do the unskippable tutorial, and now that Level 2 game is tied to Google Play?! HELP!

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

It asks me every few days to verify my google play account. How did you not do that?
Dude do you still have your old phone if not you might be hosed?

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

Reached level 79 yesterday. I'm having little to no issues completing Galactic War each day so now my problem is the next character I'll focus on leveling up with those credits.

And as ridiculous as it is, i cannot get 3 stars on Cantina level 6-G. I'm beyond frustrated.

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

Eeps! I'd post on the Reddit boards for that answer: https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/

I didn't think you could play continuously as a guest...interesting...

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

Yikes! I have no idea how to help you unless you can boot up the old phone with the data on it.

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

Does Android back up to your PC the way iPhones back up to iCloud/Macs? If so, you could do an image restore with a new phone. If not, might be a great time to look at iPhones. :P

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

The old S5 works and the Level 80 guest account works on it, too. I put in a ticket with EA to see if they have ideas on how to make this new Level 2 account on my S7 not be the one tied to Google Play so I can tie the Level 80 one to it, instead.

Shut up, that's how! Seriously, I thought I'd done the whole Guest-to-Google thing months ago, but I guess not. This one should prove interesting...

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

Well, that's good. I would think they can just wipe your Google Play account and let you set it up again with that one. At least you didn't lose it. :thumbsup:

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

I think the easy answer is to set up a second google play account from a second Google account. Time to get rid if [email protected] and make a new [email protected].

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

Thanks for the reddit, though I only understood about half of it. :lol:

I think my main problem right now is lack of characters (five light, three dark). Is the best way to get more through data packs and shipments?

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

Unless you're into spending money, don't ever buy data packs (except the first Chromium as described in that post--it guarantees you a character; you buy it with crystals).

Once in a great while you'll get a character from a daily pack, or shards, but 45% of the characters you get will be from the various stores in the game. You probably can only see 1-2 right now (Cantina and Squad Arena), but eventually you'll see another 3 or so, and they'll keep you busy grabbing character shards. The other 45% of the characters you get will be from doing hard battles...one shard at a time.

For right now, you really just need to keep plugging away at what you know to do. The game is great at opening up new areas when you're about ready for them. Don't even be that concerned about which characters are the "right ones." For instance, you'll probably continue to use Clone Wars Chewbacca for a while...but you'll likely abandon him by level 60 or so in favor of other characters.

I do highly recommend doing nothing in the Cantina except getting GS shards (Battle 1-A). Just do it over and over again until he's 7*. I camped there until he was done and then started doing more cantina battles. You'll use him way into the end game. Do one Cantina refresh every day (100 crystals).

In the Squad Arena (PvP), ST Han and Leia are both great choices. Again, I'd just keep farming them until they were maxed, then move on.

Other than that, keep doing the Light and Dark side battles. (Refresh twice each day (50 crystals each)). Right now you can just try to get through the levels, but eventually you'll want each one three stars because you'll go back to them countless times to get specific character shards so you can get a character, or to get equipment parts to make them stronger. By the way, equipment (those green pluses) make a HUGE difference--more than anything!

Be sure to get through your Dailies every day. That maxes your growth.

It's a bit frustrating early on because you want to get a bunch of characters, but if you really focus on building a strong team, they'll open the game for you.

Also, don't hesitate to use ALL your energy every single day. And if you fight a battle a second time, use a SIM if you have it. I was so concerned early on with burning through my credits and SIMs that I hoarded them. No need to do that. They all refill the following day, and by using them you grow faster.

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

Thanks! A lot of that actually made sense, especially about my using Chewbacca. :lol:

I do like the game so I'll keep plugging at it.

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

I would make that the wiki for this thread.

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

Thanks! I edited it a bit and threw it in the wiki. Added a list of characters recommended from each store.
