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

I'm in this weird limbo of wanting to shard/gear grind for lower-priority characters versus re/playing missions to 3-star for the ability to sim higher gear for my top dudes and advance to new shard opportunities.

The problem is though that it costs 16 energy per attempt! Lumi and JC are bad ass enough to roll, but Poe and Luke are a little too squishy to always survive (so far, so good) unless I can borrow a Barriss as a safety net.

Of course, I can't do much on Dark Side until I get Daka now because I have exactly 0 reliable healers over there. This is why my current Cantina plan is to unlock Daka (31 to go) before beefing up Poe.

On top of all of that, I want to keep progressing the gear on Poe and Phasma and Boba because I'm going to need them to step up their game on the Light & Dark sides, respectively.

It just sucks getting one attempt every 96 minutes.

I got some unexpected reimbursements which I was going to use for the Heroine pack. Barriss and Ajaii for $50 is a bargain considering the time sink to get them. Then I read this:

Yikes. I may just use the case for some crystals for additional refreshes.

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

Another tip I have - buy all the gear in the shipment boxes no matter what it is. Credits really aren't an issue in the game. You never know what you buy may help you later. It's a very small investment vs. energy.

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

I started playing this right before Force Awakens came out and I'm addicted. Haven't been this hooked on a game since Heroes of Might & Magic III. It's pretty crazy. Fortunately I haven't spent a dime on the game even though I've been tempted too.

Right now I'm at level 56 and my main team I run with is Sidious 6*, Luminara 5*, Phasma 5* & Consular 4*. I also have Boba Fett, Mace Windu, Talia & Jawa that I rotate in for some matches. I'm currently working to get Kylo Ren, Count Dooku and Old Daka unlocked.

We'd love to have you as an ally. What's your Ally Code?

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

It's time for guilds!

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

Crystal subscriptions are coming back. 21 days of 100 crystals each. The are saying it will be 2/3 of standard price, so I assume it will be around $14.99 or so. Have to buy at least $4.99 of game currency (packs, crystals, etc.) to qualify.

I may give this a shot to help for a short term boost.

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

I... I am not good at this. I enjoy it, I like it. I tend to do really well or just terrible. Can't tell if that's because I keep trying to play games right up to my characters' ability or not. I just hit Level 40 today so I'm entering the Galactic War phase and we'll see what this adds to the game.

Some of you have very helpful, very powerful allies for me. Thanks!

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

Where do you see this announcement?

You can get 2800 for $19.99 now and 2100 is 75% of that which would be $14.99. So 2/3 of that would make it $9.99. I might bite for that, even though the additional $4.99+ purchase kind of dilutes it.

Maybe I could go for $30 to get 2800 now and 100/day for the next three weeks. I might get drunk enough to do that one night.

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

You are right on price...math was never my strong suit :)

It's on the EA forum Gen. Disc. page.

Man, that Kylo Ren is an asshole.

He's quickly becoming my #1 priority to eliminate when he's in the opposite squad. I swear he gets to attack 3-4x more than anybody else. Plus, he seems to counter attack every single time he takes damage.

I love this game, btw. It's like crack. :lol:

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

15 sim's on the GS level in the Cantina and I got... ONE SHARD. Seriously game? Fuck you.

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

Gs ?

Geonosian Soldier.

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

Shard drops have extreme variance. I can get three in a row and then go 10 without one.

The good news is that due to nice run of arena luck, I am now 20 minutes away from Sidious and if I can get 2 Lumi shards out of six hard missions, tomorrow evening I will have her too. Poe by the end of the weekend.

This game is addicting...

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

How is Finn? I got him out of an eight pack.

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

One of, if not THE, worst premium player there is. Had you gotten Rey, well, that's another story.

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

Update - now rocking with Sidius. Tomorrow brings Lumi (probably). Need training droids bad. Shouldn't have trained up all those worthless players. I hope at some point they allow trade ins. I doubt it though.

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

Yeah I'm not seeing reason to use him over Poe.

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

Poe is the premier taunter.

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

I spent the last day leveling my 4* Poe up and getting him geared up. I am in love with Oscar Isaac all over again.

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

Gear is much more important than stars with Poe due to the speed boosts.

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

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

Got Sidious and Luminara today. Trying to get them up to speed has really slammed my reserves.

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

:lol:

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

Nice. I'll be getting both today too. I think I'll be okay, I've been hoarding money and training droids.

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

I really wasted alot of training droids on players I'll probably never use. They'll end up being suicide squad members for early stages of GW.

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

GW is seriously bugged. I can get through the first six battles then I get hit with a super team 10 levels above me. It's beyond aggravating.

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

Alright, so I spoke too soon I guess. I beat my first GW! Levels and power don't really matter - just finding the right combination and sequence of enemies. Once you have Lumi as a second healer, things just go much better.

I've found that having a taunter, damage dealer, two healers, and a sacrificial pawn is a great combination.

However, I was REALLY undewhelmed with the loot for winning GW. Just some gems, ability disks and a useless shard. Is that it? Does it get better at higher levels?

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

1,200 daily gems = 15 Lumi or Phasma shards. That's not nothing! Plus achievement progression for more Vader shards.



I'm about to unlock Daka from Cantina and shard farming. Is it worth taking her beyond 4* given the rest of my team? I imagine only needing her for DS battles and occasionally GW if, for some reason, it suddenly becomes difficult. I would much rather switch my focus to getting Poe to 7*. Thoughts?

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

I've left my Daka at 4*. I don't find her entirely useful in GW, and she is already strong enough for the DS battles as long as you gear her up. I may return to her later, but for now my Cantina shipments are better used on Poe or Fett.

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

Let me ask you a question first - work on getting Lumi to 7* or unlock Phasma first? My sense is to concentrate on at least 6* both DS and Lumi as having them on my team at my level (sub-50) would pretty much rock me through everyone on arena and in GW. But I would like to have Phasma as well. What do you think?

Also, my reading of the official forums is that Poe is FAR more dependent on gear than * level. Many folks are stopping at 6* with him to focus on gearing him up. Everyone is big into gear over stars on the forum. That's the meta right now. There are even some folks with 5* characters and complete gear mopping up 7*s with lesser gear. Seems to me like the prevailing opinion is to star to 6* then gear up to max, then 7*. Calculating ROR, max gear make more difference (alot more) than 6 to 7 star bonus. However, this may exempt Lumi and DS given how powerful they are.

As for Daka, she is really a glass cannon of sorts. Great heal for a DS but zero offense so you really have her only to heal. I would probably keep her at 4* for now, gear up, then maybe refocus.

I was under some crazy impression you got alot of shards in addition to gems for completing GW. Oh well.

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

Lumi to 7* first. She is one of the strongest characters in the game, and is worth maxing out.

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

Agreed. My Lumi is why I complete GW every day and why I breeze through LS and Cantina battles. And she's only 6.5* but does have Level 7.833 gear.

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

OK, name is Mazje. Ally code is 694-697-123.

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

I definitely focus on gear and shards for just a handful of characters. I will vouch for the importance of gear as well. I do need Poe at 5 or 6 stars, but I could see stopping there. Daka is just needed to keep my dark side team alive in battles to unlock more farming nodes to sim.

Who is an easily obtainable tank for dark side?
