Galactic War Report

Help us Bodhi Rook, you’re our only hope! Seriously, this guy could be a great way to stick it to those Zeta Maul teams that have been kicking everyone’s rump in Arena lately. We talk about possible builds with the Rookster as well as give a play-by-play of our face-offs in Arena against each other! For video, check out our YouTube Channel.

This week didn’t see a whole lot of news, but we had some pretty cool stuff happen to us. We beat our first HAAT raid!!! We talk about the experience and what we did to make it all come together. We also look at the Ezra Marquee Event and give some advice on how to beat it. And finally: Is Chewie the New Meta?

(No. He’s not.)

This week, we look at the rest of the new Phoenix characters coming soon as well as all the Rogue One characters that are being made farmable now. It’s like Christmas in March! Plus, we change our minds about Pao after doing a bit of theory crafting. Note: we still think he looks like a Goomba.

In a follow-up to last week’s Guide to Guilding, we focus mainly on what teams work for what phases of both Pit and Tank Takedown raids. While there are many guides on this subject, most of them were written before the rise of the almighty Zeta. We also chat a bit about the new Phoenix faction and we ask Darth Maul a few questions about his meteoric rise, but he evades them.

John’s out this week, so Sean takes the opportunity to talk about guilding. After having written a Guide to Guilding, we’ve been wanting to talk about the best ways you could make sure your guild is being as successful as possible. Resources referenced in the episode:

Sean’s out sick this week with what he claims is the Blue Shadow Virus (let’s see a doctor’s note!), so John flies solo. Discussed this episode: CHOPPER! Star Wars Rebels finally arrives in Galaxy of Heroes and what a way to show up! We’ll all get Chopper and an event to unlock Hera to get this Rebels ball rolling. Plus, something’s stirring in the meta. Find out who’s the new king of the Leaderboard in this miniaturized episode of Galactic War Report!

There are a LOT of Quality of Life improvements coming soon to a galaxy far, far away.  We go over what we know so far (the first three days of announcements) including Squad Configurations, Basic-Attack-Only Auto, and new Challenge rewards. See the full videos here:

MistPassiert (Basic-only Auto, Challenge enhancements)

Remon Azab (Preview upgrades, new upgrade controls)

Warrior from Team Instict (Profiles, Home Button, Allies, Favorites, & More!)

Plus: a new segment- Guilding for Glory (based on the GWR guide by the same name), in which we cover all the messy little details about guild life that you may not know already.

This was a pretty big week in Galaxy of Heroes, not only did we see the long-anticipated Darth Nihilus event, but we also got two other new Sith characters and a rework of the ENTORE FACTION.  New bundles, a new Ship, and so much more!  We sit down with Jesse Anderson (EA_Jesse) and sort it all out.  Plus: a couple hints at some exciting new content coming soon!

CG_TopHat (welcome to the community!) revealed this week that there will be a new model for unlocking characters, similar to the Krennic and Death Trooper event.  What does this mean for you?  Turns out, it may depend on your spending habits.  Also, we released our comprehensive Guild Handbook, a resource we’re hoping helps you and your guild mates get on the same page.  More on that next week as we’ll do a special episode all about guilding!  Plus, the META.  When will it change?

Have you seen the new First Order lineup?  We knew Kylo Ren was getting reworked, but the overhaul on the whole First Order has us a little verklempt!  Here to help us sort through this latest update is EA Game Changer Mist Passiert.  You may have seen his videos on YouTube (If not you probably ought to.)

 

Oh yeah, and DARTH NIHILUS?!
