So, I'd like to make it known that I LOVE Darth Maul's ship the Scimitar.  I just won 5 matches in a row today and gained 100 rank. 

I have it as my first backup ship for when I lose one.  If Biggs is the first to go, due to taunting and taking all the damage, Maul comes out and puts retribution on Slave 1.  Boba will spread target lock and slaughter some stuff.  If another ship is the first to go, doesn't matter which, Maul comes out and puts retribution on Biggs.  He's got plenty of HP and will spread target lock for other ships.

I'm close to getting Maul to 7* and to getting his ship to 5* so I'm looking forward to even more slaughter.

That's really good to know. I'm 48/50 on Scimitar and My Maul is 5* Gear 8. Not bad, could be better.

Edit, I just unlocked Scimitar. It's gonna be a beast! I only had the building materials to get it to level 43, and it already has more health than some of my ships. It even passed Bistan's U-Wing (which is level 70) in power.

Obi Wan 6*, Plo Koon 4* and Biggs 6* a pretty good day.

[Krace]

Just FYI, this new event is pretty hard, as it states.  The special power it gives is pretty cool, and I made it to round 3, but got creamed there.  Teebo and Ugnaught are gonna be pretty important.  I imagine Rey is gonna be important too as a heavy hitter.



On the bright side I just got my Lumi up to Gear 11.  She's now ready to kick even more butt!

[Vivectius]

Oh joy, Bronzium just gave me Lobot....

Also, why is the Tuskin Shaman in the Fleet shop?  I thought it was pilots only....

[Soul]

6-starred Daka
6-starred Pathfinder, giving me a team of 2 6star+ 3 7star Rebels

I've been tempted to try and 7star my Wedge and Pathfinder in time for the EP event, but as I think my character levels would hold me back from completing it, I won't bother.

You know you're in for a long GW table when node 6 Co trains an all 80+ maxed rebels team with Wiggs, Lando, and Baze. Oh, and they also brought Rey along. Just to add to the mockery they made of my DS team.

I had one of those the other day where I think 6 was actually harder than any of the others.  Had EP, RG, Vader, Shoretrooper, and Sun Fac.  I was getting creamed pretty fast with any team I tried to send in to soften them up, and I didn't want to burn up my A-team, so I kept quitting out and finally just sent in my droid team for maximum damage.  They at least managed to take out everybody but Vader.  Not even 9, 10, 11, or 12 were as hard as 6 was.

That's what I experienced today. I tried a few different versions of my DS team and finally settled on a roster and placement (because where the toons are located on the screen can make a big difference) that was able to take out all but two. Then I sent in  my B Jedi team to finish them. They ran until node 11. My Rebels then took it from there.

[Darth Calon]

Cad Bane to Gear 7 and more importantly ST Han to Gear 9!

Yeah, I have 6 teams that I use for varying situations in GW.

My main team, the team I make most of the journey with, and that can usually get the job done without substitute is due to heals and large health pools is Barriss(L), JKA, Ahsoka, Lumi, and Yoda. 

My A-team of Jedi, which I use for PvP, or when I need a really fast squad to win in GW, only varies by 1 in which QGJ is leader instead of Barriss.

My B-team of Jedi is my counter squad.  This squad isn't especially strong, but they have heals and armor buff and are good for softening up teams that use a lot of AOE.  Ima(L), Barriss, Mace, Eeth, and JC.

Then of course there's the droid squad: HK-47(L), IG-88, IG-86, K-2SO, JE.  To quote Samuel L. Jackson on the AK-47: "When you absolutely positively got to kill every mother f*cker in the room, ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!!!!"

My Rebel squad is certainly good for blitz damage, though their survivability isn't too great.  Usually good for situations were you really need to take out 1 or 2 members of a squad to knock it down to a manageable level for another team to finish.  It usually consists of Ackbar(L), Leia, Biggs, Wedge, and the last member depends on the situation.  ST Han of course for tanking needs, or Hoth Scout for pure damage.  Still working on Lando to get him properly modded.

Then there's the debuffs squad.  When you need to lay down a sea of red to oppress your opponent into oblivion.  EP(L), RG, Vader, Boba, Dengar.

[Landen Se-Sentien]

I usually use my DS team as my main team, keeping my A Jedi team in reserve for the end.

My DS team is EP lead, Vader, RG, 88, and Sidious. Usually, around node 8 or 9, I'll have to swap Boba and Phasma for 88 and Sidious. They just can't take or deliver enough damage at that point and usually quickly fall into the yellow, which then makes my RG take too much damage.

My rebel team, like you said, is good for a massive punch is Wedge lead, Biggs, K-2, Leia and Rey or Ackbar, depending on the other team. It's usually Rey. I used Lando for the first time today in GW, and he did help quite a bit. He's only 5*, but he's one slot away from gear 9, so he'll be fun once I get him up.

My B Jedi team is IGD lead, Kit Fisto, Mace, Eeth Koth, and Ahsoka. Her heals can usually keep them in the fight, and IGD's counter lead ability is great for AoE attacks. They're usually good for a couple nodes or taking out 1 or 2 in a tough squad.

My A Team is Barriss lead, Lumi, JC, QGJ, and Yoda. They don't hit hard, but they are tough to kill. I'll eventually get Anakin and put him on that team, but that's not a priority yet.

I need a droid team.

[bigBear]

just got Windu to 7* make my 2nd toon there. Asoka is my next one.

[Darth Calon]

Um. . .



Should I be glad Palpatine isn't another Rebel, or scared that he's fully maxed?

[Vivectius]

You should be glad you have your own Pal to kill them.

I usually make it through GW using two squads.

First 6 to 9 nodes or so: Wedge, Biggs, Lando, Leia, Ackbar

However many are left: Palpatine, Vader, Royal Guard, Dooku, Maul

If there are only one or two rebels or Jedi in the opposing squad, I have Vader lead for damage, otherwise it's the Emperor.

Rarely do I need to use anyone else.  If someone in the Sith/Empire squad goes down, I sub in Sidious.

Back up squads would be Anakin, Ahsoka, Yoda, Rey, Ventriss/Qui-Gon or Barriss, Luminara, Mace, Boba, Chewie.  For the back ups I try to run leaders whose skill affects everyone.


Question: Given that I don't have a Jawa Engineer yet, is Lobot worth running with Droids?  My current droids are HK, 88, 86, 100, and Grevious.  Obviously I want to get an Engineer and B2, but until then put in Lobot or stick with all Droids?
