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

I do.

Coincidentally, I added my almost-6* Dooku to my squad today. 5 wins. I look forward to seeing how he holds up. Otherwise, he's maxed, including level 7 Riposte skill. Should be 6* tomorrow, Thursday at the latest.

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

I have some friends who would probably join our guild.

I will continue to farm Old Ben shortly, I enjoy him so I want him 7*. Right now I am trying to get to level 6 of the cantina battle. I'm not sure which will be a better place to farm him, his 2nd or 6th level node.

Once I get Opress to 7* I can get Ackbar for the guild if we think he'd be useful. Most likely though, I will horde credits until the guild structure is released and we see how its actually played before going for Ackbar because I still lack Ventress.

I've got Ventress halfway to 7* (50/100) so we will have her.

Sounds good that we can get a pretty strong guild just from us. I prefer to stay in house.

Higher Cantina nodes net higher ratios of energy:tokens. Not sure about shard drop rate but you definitely get less chances as it requires more energy.

I actually unlocked Ackbar in the last day or so. Will have Nute shortly. No idea what I'll do after that. Probably STHan as I've learned today my tank team cannot keep up with the new challenge tier.

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

Having been involved with guilds in similar games the most important thing is to have a full crew of active people. With that it's fairly easy to max out the awards for all participants.

Now this game may be different, but so far they've been "by the book" for everything else so I don't think so.

I was very surprised that my tanks easily defeated Mace in the L72 tier on auto. Are you using Teebo lead? That guy going stealth really wrecks havoc on Mace in the challenge for some reason.

I'm using:

L60 4* Chewie lead
L62 5* Poe
L68 5* Fives
L68 6* Mace
L52 4* Han

As you can see, no great shakes. But it had no issue beating the L72 challenge on auto. I do have to focus down on Mace in the final encounter or they waste time on the support droids.

BTW, what on earth do we use the new mats for that drop here? L10 gear?

I don't think we really know how the guilds will work yet. It may involve us supplying characters to a larger guild team, or it could be something else completely different.

I feel like you are wasting a ton of resources on unlocking characters instead of bettering the ones you have. Concentrate on getting more toons up to 6 and 7* and full gear.

I haven't invested any in this squad since I haven't had to. I still finished all 5 today, but I had more failures than I would have liked.

Other tanks are
L41 2* RG
L29 6* Teebo
L40 2* FO ST

I think I'll just suffer, especially since there's nowhere to spend the new gear yet anyway.

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

I play every day, I just don't post in this thread all that often. Let's see. My current Galactic War team is:

L71 7* Chewie (lead)
L71 6* Lumi
L70 5* Count Dooku
L71 7* IG-86
L70 6* Fives

Lumi will be 7 stars today or tomorrow, depending on when I can enough credits to match her shards.

As for a Guild name, I humbly suggest:

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

Well, yesterday I hit a new milestone. I ran out of credits. Even though I do everything daily, I got Phasma, so I immediately leveled her up to match my other characters at 60...and away went my cash.

Now I have several all sitting waiting for upgrades, but no credits to promote them to the next star or the next level. Guess it'll be a long week as I slowly move them up one by one...

This is on the spreadsheet, but here's who I have that matters, pretty much all stuck at 60 for now :
Lumi 7*
GS 7* (once I have the cash)
Sid 7* (once I have the cash)
JC 5* (once I have the cash)
QGJ 5* (once I have the cash)

Secondary team:
CW Chewbacca 4*
Phasma 4*
Fives 4*
Ahsoka Tano 3*
Darth Vader 4* (not active yet--about a week away)

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

The only real difference between us is your Han is a little underpowered and my stronger Fives vs. your weaker Boba. Five's counter really helps.

People love Teebo. Maybe get him up.

Yes and no. I had Plo, Mace ,IG100, Ewok elder Ahsoka and Savage all drop from bronzium packs. My roster is very heavy on attackers for some reason. I only had 3 healers/support (JC, Qui-Gon and Talia) and 3 tanks (Chewy, Royal Guard and Plo Koon) I was consistently having a hard time gathering gear from those challenges. That tank team was really sucking. I had to unlock mace and the elder for some much-needed help. I unlocked savage thinking he was a tank unfortunately.

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

So I see some patterns in GW based on arena. When I had 23k power, I did not hit 70s until node 7. Then 24k power made them come at node 6. 25k power at node 5. Just went up to 26k power and now they are at node 4. Scared to go up to 27k as that seems to be the magic number for GW terror. But I'm pretty close to it now. Like 26,900 close.

Anyone find it odd that Guilds will support 50 players but our Ally lists only go to 35? I wonder if they'll abandon Allies as we know them.

Everyone should have gotten 50 shards. Android that is.
