  • Meta Moments Episode 41 - DEEP DIVE week 3 defensive strategy

    Welcome to the 41st episode of Meta Moments!  This is a many-times-per-week podcast taking a quick peek into the meta of the current 24-48 hour window of PvP (mainly GAC) in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes.  Tips, tricks, ideas, hottest trends - we talk about all of them!

    Deep dive into defensive strategy this episode!  Here's the highlights of my monologue.

    - Leia (toxic).  Reva + Malicos is interesting.  Nothing else significant.
    +GL.  Reva + SLKR is interesting.  SLKR UFU (+Malicos) best overall.  JML.  Jabba and SEE sort of ehh depending on relics.
    +S12DC.  Jabba goes to be the easiest dunk on this team.  Not expecting much else will change.

    - Jabba.  Reva, Aphra and Magma Troopers ALREADY wipe the floor against him.  Phoenix, SK and CLS 50%+ plus, or 2-shot with NS plus a bunch of options.
    +GL.  SLKR overall best.  LV with proper comp also quite good.  JMK w/ BB Echo also fantastic.  
    +S12DC.  Probably LV and JMK will continue to work well.  Aphra will work well WITH s12 DC but I am not so sure if Jabba team has the s12 DC themselves.

    - Lord Vader (Candy or Piett versions).  Candy is easiest, Phoenix and Fennec around 60%.  Piett drops them to around 40%.  Cere Malicos beats both 100% of the time (only about 10 results, but very reliable).
    +GL.  JMK and JML stomp him all the time.  SLK about 80% depending on comp.
    +S12DC.  Aphra will beat him easily again.

    - JMK (w/CAT + Padme).  Reva is really the only meaningful option here.  Maul + GARISC has some success but not really with Padme.  Padme+CAT/etc can do but never in Kyber1, only lower divisions.
    +GL.  JML and JMK mirrors are about same 90%+.  Jabba and SEE around 60%.
    +S12DC.  Shuts down Reva real hard.

    - SEE (w/ Malak and/or Savage).  This is more difficult since the "trashy" comps without Malak/Savage/Traya can be beaten by a bunch of lower tier teams.  But the best SEE's are only really beaten (albiet rather reliably) by Aphra and Reva.
    +GL.  SEE+Wat (often no Wat needed) easy win.  SLKR easy win. JMK. Vader.  I mean it's ridiculous, every other GL beats him except in some situations JML.
    +S12DC.  Don't see much change for his situation.  Aphra beats him even harder?  I guess it will make those comps way easier.

    - JML (+JKR JKL etc).  Only looking at good teams here, bad teams are easy to beat by a lot.  Reva and Malgus are your only "close to 100%s" but then you have GG, Traya, SK, Aphra and GG which are all around 50-70% depending on specifics.
    +GL.  Every GL shits on him.  Nuff said.
    +S12DC.  Nothing much here will effect anything except JMK CAT shits on him more?  Aphra will beat him closer to 100% as well, I guess.

    - SLKR (w/Hux).  Without Hux you can trooper him easily, so excluding those.  JKR+JKL+etc, Reva and Cere+Malicos shut him down easily.  SK has a few options around 50-70%.  Not much else.
    +GL.  JML, JMK and Vader are easy wins.  Other GLs around 50-70% depending on comps.
    +S12DC.  Jabba beats him easier?  Mostly of no import.

    - Rey (w/Ben JTR).  Certainly not least.  SK + riposte has a great (70-90%) chance of killing virtually any Rey comp.  GAS with the appropriate DC/stats also has similar chance, though some comps or ESPECIALLY wider relic differential teams will struggle.    Cere Malicos is 80% depending on comp and probably the most reliable option.
    +GL.  All GLs except SEE just smack her around.
    +S12DC.  Not really seeing any difference here.  Jabba kills her more easily?  JMK CAT makes Ben kills easier for sure.  But stats wise probably not a big change.
