I'm getting really low on credits for the first time. That next tier of Droid smuggling helped a lot, but also cost me a fortune to use.

Lol, welcome to the upper levels DC.  Prepare to be broke all the time.

I guess I should do a bit more work on Scoundrels for the higher tiers of Credit Heist. Anyone know when we're getting another one of those?

Yeah, Scoundrels are probably the most important thing to work on right now besides your A-team you use in PvP or GW.   Scoundrels get you droids and money.

Last week we had a credit heist on Thursday or Friday I think.  They aren't quite weekly like the droid events are this month, which next Tuesday will be the last regularly scheduled one of those, but I think the credit heists show up about every 10-14 days.



That being said, there are other things to work on if you are the appropriate level, as there is an event coming up where you can use Empire or Droids.  It's recommended level 78+ though.

Also there's the event coming up where you can use Ugnaught, Resistance, or Ewok characters.  I don't think that one is going to go well for me.

[Darth Calon]

I'd love to be able to contribute everything to Scoundrels, but I need to keep my A Team in fighting shape as I progress and I'll still be tied up with Rebels for a while.

Honestly, leave Rebels for now.  Get yourself a solid scoundrel team.  You will help yourself in the long run with more/better droids and more credits.



On a side note for myself, I actually managed to complete 36 GW nodes for the guild challenge!  First time I've been able to pull that off in a while.  I almost thought I was gonna miss it with that 2nd run of GW that ended in Vader, EP, Base, General Kenobi, and Boba.

I want to be absolutely sure I'm ready for the next EP event. Plus I use Rebels a lot in GW.

Great job!

Yeah Calon I agree with krace here. Rebels are falling out of meta right now and the new Darth coming on the 1st is supposed to be a rebel buster. He is gonna break the meta. Anyways rebels don't get a zeta wheras empire does with vader and boba. the current record for damage from culling blade is 575,023 damage on a critical hit. The gamorrean captain had over 50 DoT's on him.

[Darth Calon]

My Rebels do more damage than my A Team. Plus I need them to star up EP. That's the only reason I want them, Palpatine will get a ton of use. I don't want to fully power them up, just to the minimum I need to 7* Palpatine. Then I'm free to work on whoever. But I am also working my A Team at the same time.

Rebels still make for a pretty killer team with Wiggs and Lando, or of course if you've got Chaze.  I am seeing a bit less of them though.  No new Darth coming on the 1st, unless you meant Death for Death Troopers.  Yes, they and Krennic are supposed to bust up Rebels.  The daily login character for February is Kylo.  The patch notes did hint of someone new with a red lightsaber, but that's somewhere else ahead and probably won't be on the first, it'll be a month or two away after they've gone through all the hype of the new Empire characters.  For now the focus will be on Krennic, the Death Trooper, and the new TIE that's coming.


Here's the patch notes:

Here are the goods, the news, the updates for 1/15/2017. Cheers!

WHATS NEW

You've all been speculating some interesting guesses for February's daily login character (and some of you have been right on the money!), but Kylo Ren will be the daily Login character for February, complete with some exciting new improvements. Please look forward to them.

NEW CHARACTERS

Director Krennic
Death Trooper

SPECIAL OPERATIONS

The Special Operations event will soon be underway! Get ready to earn shards for Director Krennic and one of his Death Troopers in an all-new limited time event Here’s a sneak peek at Director Krennic and his Death Trooper:

Director Krennic: Dark side Empire support character
Standard Abilities: Inflicts Stun, Ability Block, and Buff Immunity for 2 turns
New debuff: Stagger! Similar to Expose, but removes all Turn Meter
Leader ability: Enables Critical Chance + Potency Empire squads, with extra Ability Blocks
Can't be Critically Hit while Death Trooper is present

Death Trooper: First Empire unit with an AOE Dispel
Standard Abilities: Inflicts Daze and Stun
Debuff: Inflicts Deathmark

CITADEL PACK

The Citadel Pack appears after the start of the final tier of the Special Operations event. Each pack guarantees 5 shards of Director Krennic or Death Trooper with a chance to get 30 shards!

YODA & PALPATINE EVENTS

Starting in March, we will begin rotating the Grand Master's Challenge with the Emperor's Demise Event every other month. These events will still take place on the second Thursday of the month and will last for 7 days. Yoda will run in February, Palpatine in March, Yoda in April, etc. For more information, please see @EA_Jesse’s Events Information post for updates on all event schedules.

Cassian Andor: Will now prioritize "Shock Grenade" over other abilities when under AI control
Fixed a bug that caused the AAT's turret to deal massive damage to Boba Fett even when he has the Bounty Hunter's Resolve buff.

So, guess you have until March 9th for the next EP event.

That's good to know. I think I can get Leia from 2* to 7* in that amount of time. Gear shouldn't be a problem with that much time either.

Question for the group, my current Rebel team plan for Emperors Demise is Wiggs, Lando, Ackbar, Leia. Would you recommend switching anyone out for ST Han?

[Lord Canterbury]

Can't wait to get Shore Trooper.

So my Resolution of no new character unlocks lasted 3 weeks.   

To be fair - when he replaces Anakin & Tarkin replaces QGJ . . . it's gonna be clobberin' time!

[Darth Calon]

Something I've been wondering about, Lando's Mustache Massacre does 75% (for me) more damage if I get the crits. So if I use it twice and assuming I get the critical hits each time, does it deal 150% more damage and so on? From experience im guessing no, but just wanted to make sure.

Yeah, you might want a tank. I had K-2SO.

Heh, I wish I could farm Shoretrooper, but you know, they had to put him on frakking LS 9B on Hard Mode.  I can't even beat 9A yet.

Mine is 100%, but as far as I know it's a rolling stack.  It's often why a team can't survive more than 3 or 4 of them because the damage has built up so much.

I could farm him instead of Leia. He could also do double duty as a Scoundrel.

I really wish I had Shoretrooper too.

He's a popular Arena character, so that would make sense.
