Galactic War Report

This week’s character study is the deadly IG-88.  We talk about what teams he fits into, how to use his abilities effectively, and what to do if you see him in your crosshairs (hint: don’t panic!).  We also discuss the new Empire assault event and the upcoming Women of Star Wars event – all on this week’s Galactic War Report from Radio Free Tatooine!

Finally, Galactic War Report has put together a guide for raids!  Whether you’re looking to start farming a raid team, or trying to decide which characters to use in different phases, we’re here to help!  Jim Cartwright joins the gang this week to go over the intricacies of running Teebo and/or an ewok squad against Phase I of a Tier V Raid.  We also cover the overall performance of Nightsisters, Droids-lite, and the almighty Omega Mat – all on this week’s Galactic War Report from Radio Free Tatooine!

With more people starting to unlock and promote the guild shop exclusives Gamorrean Guard and Jawa Engineer, we figured it was time to look at our experiences so far with these toons.  How viable are they and what kinds of teams do the work in?  Plus, Yoda Event coverage, Cad Bane becomes farmable, and John finds comfort in clones – all on this week’s Galactic War Report from Radio Free Tatooine!

There’s a new clone in town!  He’s been around since the start, but with more and more players hitting level 76, Fives’ omega abilities are reshaping the meta into a stun-or-die scenario.  What can you do about this counter-attacking monster?  Find out in this week’s Galactic War Report!

With the addition of guilds, Galaxy of Heroes has pretty much been turned on its head (again).  We help make sense of this awesome (at times overwhelming) mechanic and help teach folks how to maximize their potential rewards by participating in guild activities.  Plus we talk about jawas and pigmen!

With our new combat retooling, it feels like we’re playing a whole new game.  But is it any good?  Also, Ewoks are running amok in this app!  See what you can do about it.  And: IS YOUR ARENA SQUAD KILLING YOU IN YOUR SLEEP?

The long-awaited combat retooling hits next week and we’ve got all you need to know.  The even-longer-awaited Guild feature is set to drop later this month and we have a few things to say about that as well.  Sean begins the episode with one plan, and ends with a whole new direction (as he often does), and John recants his tales of the Ewoks Four as they (almost) make their way through Galactic War.

It’s finally here: the cap increase. We can now reach up to level 80, but what does that mean? We discuss how it affects us now and in the long-term, as well as go over some tricks for using Asajj Ventress and Yoda effectively. Then we speculate on possible upcoming events and what their awards could be.

With the latest update, Ahsoka has become more of a viable character.  Does she have what it takes to survive in the Arena or is she confined to Galactic War?  Also, with the upcoming change to the way advantage works, will we see (even) more Phasma or will the changes to speed and fortitude outweigh her usefulness?  We don’t actually have the answers to these questions, but it sure is fun listening to us pretend we do!  Plus: John postulates putting a team together that Sean has a bad feeling about.

We just got treated to a huge new update making Old Ben farmable and Old Daka forgettable.  Ashoka gets a much-appreciated boost and Sean’s ewok dream team is one step closer to reality.  All this and a (not very) bitter debate about the effectiveness of taunts.  This is your Galactic War Report!
