Yes--definitely push yourself to your first 7* no matter who it is. Even if you do 0 damage and get squashed like a gluten-free pancake, just being able to be in the 7* raid gives you great rewards. Just do it! :P

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

Even Eeth or Jedi Knight Guardian!

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

I have Luminara and Asajj Ventress at 5* :( I'm trying to concentrate my shard gathering on those two, Genosian Soldier, and Rey (who I don't have yet).

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

Good, mutually exclusive choices. How are you at GW every day? Are you getting the full 1200 for 15 Lumi shards from it in addition to farming the hard nodes?

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

Yes, Luminara is the best of those three to farm the hardest right now. GS is great, but the drop rates in the Cantina aren't guaranteed, whereas they are for Lumi in Galactic Wars. Between getting her there and in the hard battles, you can probably average 10-15 shards a day, which should get her up to 7* in only a few weeks. And wow will you see a difference in your GW play...

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

I've finished GW a few times but usually get killed off close to the end. :(

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

Get used to it. I have (12), 7*, Level 75 and above characters and still struggle to finish GW more than 10% of the time. Usually I run into a buzz-saw Tank who just mows down my team single-handedly.

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

I'm still trying to get my Genosian Soldier and Lumi to 5 stars. I think I just going to focus on one to get to my 7*.

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

They are mutually exclusive. Lumi is earned in GW, and GS in Cantina.

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

Yes, you can grab both at the same time. If credits are an issue for raising to five stars, personally, I preferred Lumi over GS when I first got them. Her #2 is almost as powerful as GS's #2 at that level, so she's great overall. That said, GS is much more of an end-game toon than Lumi, and you'll eventually prefer him. But since you'll soon have both, I'd raise Lumi up first with credits, then GS.

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

Thanks for the tips guys.

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

Yeah, with the latest changes, it's REALLY tough to always finish GW. I finish about 50% of the time now, and I have nearly three 7* teams I can use. Even when I do finish, my last 7* team is pretty beaten up.

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

I need help in trying to figure out who to maximize for my characters. Also any suggestions for the possible lineup squads for Arena and GW will be appreciated. Any comment/advice/critique will be highly appreciated.

I'm at Lv 61.

- Genosian Soldier 4* G8 Lv61
- Jedi Consular 3* G8 Lv60
- Luminara Unduli 4* G7 Lv61
- Luke Skywalker 4* G7 Lv56
- Talia 3* G7 Lv60
- Chewbacca Clone Wars 4* G6 Lv54
- Darth Sidious 4* G6 Lv51
- Stormtrooper Han 3* G6 Lv54
- Captain Phasma 3* G6 Lv50
- Princess Leia 2* G6 Lv51

- Clone Sergeant 1* G6 Lv47
- Ahsoka Tano 2* G5 Lv37
- Snowtrooper 1* G5 Lv43
- Ewok Elder 2* G3 Lv24

I'm 5 shards away from getting Asajj Ventress too.

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

You want to use Lumi for GW, get her to 7*, she's you #1 priority with GW shipments. Geonosian soldier is a really nice heavy hitter from the Cantina shards. With Cantina rewards shipment QGJ is your choice.

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

So work on Luminara and Geonosian Soldier first. One is Cantina, one GW shipments, so they can be farmed simultaneously and you'll use both for a long while.

In the end game, most players find themselves always using Phasma, QGJ, Royal Guard and Leia. I'd focus on them over the others just for the long game.

A good GW and Arena team would be Phasma (lead), QGJ, GS, Lumi, RG.

I don't see you having Rey...you should consider getting her when you can. She's a VERY heavy hitter and you'll always find a place for using her while you're farming. I also found Old Daka necessary if you want to complete the Dark Side battles and her ability to stun characters comes in very handy.

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

I have seen the screenshots and conversations of the make up of the teams and I saw that Rey was integral. I'm 20 shards away with 800 credits to purchase 10 shards when she come up.

Thanks for the advice!

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

I actually waited a LONG time to get Rey and then once I did I realized how much I was missing out. She's now my first fully maxed character and pretty much the ONLY one I refuse to let die in a GW match because I don't want to go on without her. She's just too good. You'll get to the point where she can one-shot kill some characters, which is always a great way to start off a match, instantly making it 5-4.

Only thing about using her in GW is that you want to end each node with her cooldowns refreshed because you need that one-shot kill ability available right at the start of the next node.

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

Today I got wiped out halfway through, and of course it's on a guild activity day. :(

I have earned Rey, though, so I guess I need to start using her in GW.

Luminara and Asajj are now at 6* and counting.

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

Yesterday it was easy for me; today I got wiped on the second to last, so I'm two nodes short. Have to say it's VERY discouraging to not finish GW each day as it's 1) a HUGE time suck and 2) our main source of advancement with credits, etc. I know they want it to be challenging, but some days it's just not even possible. :(

Honestly, this is when I love being part of this guild. Being able to take part in the rewards of these uber raids makes up for some of these other shortcomings.

davidh777--Rey, Lumi and Asajj will all be great in the raid, I'd think. You'll notice a difference.

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

I always make it to the last node in GW... only to be DESTROYED for three straight rounds of level 75+ characters at 7*s each. Ridiculous.

I did get my last two Rey shards today... now I need $1M to level her up to 7*s. She's already at level 80.

PS - a fully stacked Clone Trooper 5's is ridiculously over-powered. I wonder if he and Rey will eventually be nerfed?

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

Last node again today. Every single one of my heroes was wiped out in two hits... four rounds of characters against all Level 80's and I was obliterated. This is beyond frustrating.
I've only been able to complete 22 GWs so far.

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

I find it funny that I can't see this from the thread Wiki if I am logged in. Anyways the thread wiki has a good listing of best farmable characters.


I can't stress enough how correct the others have been about getting Lumi, Phasma, GS, QGJ and Rey. an A team like this will go far in GW. I think I started off with a lineup similar to yours and my A Team is comprised of Phasma (L) Lumi, QGJ, GS and IG86 while my B Team is Phasma (L), Teebo, Rey, Savage Opress, and Talia. My kryptonite are High level droid teams.
I like finishing GW so I don't push too far with my arena team (Phasme (L), Sid, JC, GS, IG86) and lately I hold between 250-300 though lately I rarely lose.

As far as GW goes I have a system that allows me to have a easy opponent in node 12. I run my B team for the 1st 5 nodes and 7 or 8, my A team handles 6, 7or8, 9 and 10 then I field my best remaining team in 11. I use no more than 11 toons and usually I lose no more than 3 total. I always have a weak opponent in node 12.

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

I haven't even unlocked GS... guess that'll be my next toon. I hate facing a fully stacked Leia. She gets 4-6 shots off at a time and levels most characters.

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

Well that's just inaccurate.

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

Thanks!
I read that wiki too but I'm getting distracted in getting other characters like Darth Vader (one shard away) and Gamorrean Guard. I'll stick to the Wiki...
