SO this is why people are against Free internet? No wonder I hate mobile games so much.

care to elaborate on that constructive comment...?

The more restrictions they put on the internet the better, it's definitely turning out to be one of humanity's worst ideas.

Ok, if anyone is having issues with the revamped Assault Battles against the little rodents, Snowtrooper is key for Imperials.

I like my snow trooper I actually buffed him up before most others!!

I've got through the first tier, second is a little more interesting

Snowtroooper too low.

Someone loves ewoks at EA and they're letting it show. I remember doing the assault battle against them originally and it was easy, now I cant even finish the normal difficulty one. And then theres the Ewok reworks... and Palploo , Wicket and Logray coming to the game whenever... yippie ki freakin yeah... not. Wake me up when Bounty Hunters get a rework...

Apparently we will need Ewoks to acquire the new Luke. That makes me sad because Ewoks make me angry!

I thought we were going to need Farmboy Luke?

i know we needed farm boy luke to get Jawas lol. i'd have thought Yoda would be needed to get Jedi Luke??

Is the Dark Side campaign harder? I'm working through tier 4 normal battles on both sides and the rebels are facing like level 29 and the imperials are up against really nails level 38s that are kicking my ***!

Yes, until you hit 9.

The Empire just gets shafted in every Star Wars game, doesn't it. X-Wing, Battlefront (**** unhittable A-Wings) and now this!

In other news, I have Tarkin, he's a beast... my first real support guy and he seems to make such a difference. Loving the Royal Guard now I'm upping his abilities a bit so he's ramping up his turn meter more quickly and reliably stunning, gives me a lot of control. I've actually been able to switch strategies off the back of it and start tactically stun-locking healers, or keeping Chewie from his taunt.

Actively trying to unlock Boba Fett and Captain Phasma, but I'm realising what I really need is a second Dark Side healer - I'm grabbing Old Daka as an ally any time I can!

Daka is good her Healing and Revival stuff works wonders, Talia is a poor mans healer but also works as well.

Talia is running my Dark Side squad at present - she's my only Dark Side healer - although tbh it's also that Tarkin and the Royal Guard buffs/stuns are doing a lot to reduce incoming damage.

I'm finding energy really hard to come by now - I can either complete missions or Sim-grind for gear for upgrades, but not both.

Do you buy extra energy with crystals? You can buy 3 recharges at 50 crystals per. Typically if you do GW table, PvP and such you'll earn more than 150 a day. At least that's how it works for me. I spend 150 on energy every day and end up with more each day then I started with.

But even then you do have to make a choice at some point between shards and upgrades.

I went through a phase of trying to unlock every character i came across! what i realised was

1) you NEED scoundrels, work on them first for Credit Heists and Training droid smuggling

2) you need a decent lightside team and darkside team. Currently for lightside starting out i'd go with phoenix squad for missions and GW, they are great for GW as use Chopper and Zeb with Hera lead they gain health and protection each turn. I'm not sure on darkside but Snowtrooper ability locks, royal guard stuns, tarkin for debuffs and AOE damage and then Boba to rocket the Debuffed enemies and delete one a turn, Mob Enforcer inflicts defence down as well on her normal attacks so is quite handy.

3) You need gear. Get a good synergised team and gear them to the max Level 9+ for most of your usefull toons!

4) Mods - these are great. do the mod challenges and get them to the 5* mods.

Yeah my Phoenix team can do a whole table and until the last two fights be at full protection and HP's still. I use Hera, Kanan, Zeb, Ezra and Sabine and at lvl 70ish I've taken out teams of lvl 80's on the GW table.

Ezra is great for counter attacks, bonus attacks and he can give both himself and either Zeb or Kanan protection back.

I use chopper in place of Sabine. i struggle against full Sith teams with nihlus lead (mostly cause i auto it) but my boys can do the whole GW and end on full health with the same setup (i only dont use sabine as she's too hard to farm presently)

I'd switch to Chopper but right now he's actually behind Sabine power wise.

Agreed. Sabine is my power hitter of the group and I actually use her against the big Sith teams because of the damage she can potentially throw. She's also pretty darn fast (mine's current 156 speed) so it adds up quick.

Chopper is good for regen for the Phoenix teams, but he's more defensive than offensive.

Building up my ewoks right now, but once they're done, going back to Phoenix.


Sabine is a solid choice for my main Rebel list (Wedge, Biggs, Chirrut, Baze, Sabine).

But my Phoenix list is Hera, Kanan, Ezra, Chopper, Zeb. While Sabine is a powerhouse, her special ability (the crit chance and crit damage up) is the weakest of the entire Phoenix team except Ezra....and Ezra's multi-attack keeps him on the team.

TIL the gear challenges re-open every ten minutes, not once per day. That's going to make life easier grabbing those mats!

Decided on my second zeta, Veers. I am really enjoying Troopers, and just did pretty well in level 8 Cantina (who hoo, moved up one more node). So, Zeta priority is likely Veers, then Thrawn.

After I've got zassian I haven't thought about my next zeta. I am half tempted to get k2 zeta'd as he's a big part of my arena team and takes an awful lot of hits

I played against a Shoretrooper for the first time, it seemed seriously good... and only available through shards? Bah humbug.

Anyway, love my Imperial team (Phasma, Tarkin, Royal Guard, Talia, Opress) and working up getting the Ghost crew together. I think it's only just really sinking in that the numerical level of the characters is pretty inconsequential next to their stars/gear, because I put the first of the Phoenix mob together and just got my *** handed to me in Normal.
