Fives without question. He is a tank and although he doesn't hit terribly hard, he has about the same counter as Dooku does with a TON more health. His assist call is nice too.

I know you don't want more Jedi but Snips is the tits right now with her buffs.

I know those are the two best characters out of who's left, but are they really worth the investment considering how slow it is to get Cantina tokens already? I can always farm them from hard missions over infinity years. I would just hate to waste them and then find out the next update adds someone I do care about to the pool.

When and where do you use Fives and Ahsoka?

story

I use Fives in everything. When the going gets tough in Galactic War and I reach the point I can't go on, Fives is always the last man standing, every time. The counter is high, the HP is high, the assist is excellent. He's one of my go-to. He and Dooku work very well together. Nothing more fun than having Dooku hit Sidious with lightning in the first turn, Sidious return fire by hitting everyone, and then watching Dooku and Fives bring him to zero or close to it with their counter attacks.

DVD Josh

People use Ashoka in both GW and Arena.

pinata242

Only got 11 of those purple hairdryers today

DVD Josh

They have definitely nerfed them. I am on the same pace. They will of course deny any nerfing.

pinata242

Yep, when the possible rewards lists 5 per attempt, don't give me 2.2 and expect me to believe that's average.

DVD Josh

Tuning changes coming Mon/Tues. Guilds later this month.

pinata242

I completely forgot to do my Arena battles today. Guess I'll do them now even though the prizes have been awarded.

DVD Josh

Fortitude has become "Protection". Works like a shield. If I were you, I would not spend crystals after the update hits. Game sounds like it may suck.

JNielsen

Yoda's buff steal and share abilities paid off today in final stage of GW. Full health lvl 72 sid didn't make it past this...

pinata242

I take it it wasn't this crew dealing with Sidious like bosses.

OK, so Opress will be 7* tonight, Sid and him will now be maxed, any suggestions for who to go next w arena credits. I'm leaning toward either Han or Ventress. I don't need Eeth for Yoda since I am going Ahsoka after QGJ w battle credits. I may stock pile them for a bit just in case they add anyone to list. Battle credit characters are much better than arena characters.

DVD Josh

Don't sleep on IG-88 for Arena. His AEQ is devastating and since he's slower, he stands to get a buff in the new meta. But STH and Ventress are great picks too.

pinata242

So I got the final achievement for purchasing 1,500 shipments. It's really nice not having to worry about that every 6 hours. I still look in there periodically, but if I have more than about 30 of something, I just leave it alone now.

DVD Josh

General rule of thumb is 100. But honestly, I don't blame you.

I am still trying to figure out why the tank challenge doesn't have stun cuff as a reward. These new guild activities better have it. If I kill a fucking Rancor I want like 300 of them.

JuryDuty

I really feel like I'm "stuck" now that I've run out of credits. I got one character starred up, but the rest I just don't have enough credits for and every time I accumulate credits, I level again and figure it's better to spend my money leveling all my main team instead of just adding a star to one. Frustrating.

I did have an amazing fight this week--my QGJ, Lumi, Sid, GS, JC team against a mostly-droid team of the same level. They completely wiped me out without mercy. Makes me want to build that team! Just not enough credits or awards to do it quickly...

JuryDuty

One more thought on the spreadsheet--we could add "Player level" to get an idea of who is what level.

After a nice run of Barriss shards this afternoon I now have my third 7* Jedi. Onto Mace (grumble, grumble).

JuryDuty

Nice! I still need Barriss for the first time. Always like when I can borrow her.

JNielsen

Although things may change soon, I took some advice and invested a bit in Royal Guard. Up to 4 stars with L8 gear and level 73.

Rolled through GW today with him in the lineup for the 1st time with no issues, even though he's low 4000's power-wise. Would love to see him @ 7*. Too bad it would take months to get there.

JNielsen

I'm 30 shards away, terrible drop rate today though. She is my last step for 7* Yoda.

pinata242

So, I don't know much about the Raid feature yet, but what I read on the forums last night it seems like you're going to need as many 7* characters as you can. Daka will be my 9th on Thursday and Dooku is right behind her as my 10th.

I have almost everyone in GW shipments at 6* now, so I can easily get one or more of them up if needed. I am going to work on my tanks so I can more easily handle that challenge, so Poe and Boba and Chewie might be getting some attention. I would like to do RG like JNielsen is doing, but I don't think I have the patience 1-2 shards per day.
