What is the team you use in PvP?

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).

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!

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

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!

You could always play on your PC using Bluestacks

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)
 
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.

JuryDuty 06-28-16 09:24 AM

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*.

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).

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.

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!

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?

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.

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...

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

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

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...

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:

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].
