Galactic War Report

There are a LOT of things to talk about this week! We cover Hermit Yoda’s kit and talk about how he could be used as well as welcome one of our guild’s Territory Battles coordinators, Matt aka Slakey. We then take a look at one of the most dynamic metas we’ve seen in months as Commander Luke continues his climb and some old friends start falling off the leaderboard.

This week, we’re talking mostly about how Commander Luke Skywalker has changed the game for us. He’s had a pretty significant presence in the Arena as well as in raids and Galactic War. We also talk about the kit for the new Hunker Down Han (it’s gonna catch on!) and how he may fit into teams.

We have a lot to talk about this week, so you get a XXL show! We bring in TopHat and Conduit to talk about a range of topics like Commander Luke Skywalker, the new Rebel reworks, and gear level XII.

Luke kind of owns this week. With the new Commander Luke Skywalker, the reworked MF Luke, and the Hero’s Journey upon us, we look at both Skywalker kits, what’s needed for the new event, and how these new characters may fit into your current rebel lineup.

We talk this week about a new game mode, Heroic Battles. The first one is coming soon and it looks to be a fairly innovative new design for events. We cover that, the new ewoks (now that we have them all), and take a moment to ponder the current meta. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…

As we find ourselves in-between news weeks, we chat bit about all the ewokery that’s been going on in game lately as well as Grand Admiral Thrawn and the awkward impression he’s been making in Arena. Plus: John takes the troopers into the Arena!

In this Double Stuf episode, we’re joined by Capital Games’ TopHat and Not Really a Jedi to talk about our new ewok allies! We talk a bit about the events that unlock them, a couple other recent updates (Gar Saxon, anyone?), and what the deal is with the Millennium Falcon and Kylo’s Shuttle. Then we discuss the new ewok kits complete with a faction overview, Paploo breakdown, Logray breakdown, and the EXCLUSIVE REVEAL OF WICKET! Fans of the forest moon of Endor should not miss this episode!

Ewoks, Hero’s Journey, Territory Battles! There’s so much news this week that we had to call in some help to break it all down. Jesse and Justin from EA/CG stop by this week to chat a bit about Ewoks and Commander Luke Skywalker and shed a little light on this new Territory Battles game mode. SPOILER: It sounds like it’s going to be amazing!

Call us crazy but we’re pretty stoked about this ewok faction pass! Okay you didn’t actually have to call us crazy…

We chat about the golden days of ewok-ing through Galactic War, what made the team tick, and what they really need out of this faction pass. And we speculate as to what the rumored 5th ewok could be.

Plus, the Ghost and Phantom II are now farmable. Are they worth it?

With no real update to speak of this week, we decided to cover a couple interesting bits we’ve found on Reddit:

* First up: French Gamer Abroad posted the results of his recent Grand Admiral Thrawn poll and the results tell some interesting stories.

* Also: Redditor The_Stimulant did some work to calculate just what it takes to “break” Galactic War. We talk about his findings.

* And finally: We give our official Summer 2017 Guide to Good Characters for Beginners – toons you can get early on and continue to be useful in the later stages of the game.
