No unit restrictions. Bring any squad you want.

SGA: If they have leader abilities, best way to test their function with a squad you may think you want one of them in is to select a leader for your own squad that doesn’t have a leader ability so there is no overlap.

More information will be detailed in an upcoming in game newsletter on 1/25. Huh?

Recently, we’ve been focusing on Rebels and light side characters. This February, things are changing. Get ready for the dark side.

Kozispoon hinted on the forums also that this does not just refer to Krennic and Deathtrooper.

Two days later

Fixed a bug with Barriss Zeta where her healing was persisting even after her death. Arguments before this whether it was WAI or a bug. Now know it was a bug.

The upgrade was removed for all those that had spend on it and refunded in the in game mail.

+500 Crystals! Lucky.

Tournament Thoughts!

24 hour tournaments

New Prices!

Thoughts.

Mini-Updates:

January Daily Login Character: Finn

Jyn tournament returning on January 9th (Monday to Tuesday)

Cassian Andor’s ship tournament went away.

Unsure why, but possible because of backlash although I doubt it.

Ship required Cassian, Jyn, K2SO to use.

Excluded all IOS users already due to K2 being pilot (which makes sense)

But alos excluded all those that didn’t place top 100 in Cass/Jyn tournaments or bought the $100 pack.

Possibly low amount of people participating because of these things pushed the tournament and release of his ship back.

iOS users rejoice! Your want for K2SO has been granted!

K2SO replaced Baze in shard shop for a limited time!

There was very little rejoicing.

Droids Fight Back Event updates

Still requires Droids

Now has 7 Tiers (Including a Bonus Tier)

Same setup as K2SO event for Android

All Jawas are available as rewards now instead of just Jawa, Dathcha.

Equal chance to get shards of any of the 5

Shard shop for me, great for those still grinding.

Tiers above 60 re-balanced for mods.

Each Tier has 3 encounters now, instead of 1.

Tiers 1-6 require 3 droids (Easy if you have IG88, IG86, HK47)

Tier 7 (Bonus Tier) requires 5 droids. Tough to do with seven total droids overall.

B2, Grevious, IG88, IG86, HK47, K2SO, IG100

First event to use the new “Style Guide” for Event descriptions and Naming.

Probably not a game changing thing, but I’m intrigued.

It Came From Reddit (Dev Comments)

Capital Method (Raid Guy)

Quiet this week, 2 months.

Capgasp (Event Guy)

Someone asked for a character acquisition plan, to know where and when characters may be released to farmable areas. I like the idea but seems impossible to implement.

Capgasp mentioned talking to Kozispoon and Jesse about speaking about these things in general terms in updates so people know if SOMEONE may be going to a shipment area or something else a while before it happens. Made no promises thought.

JE AI Revives were asked about. Mainly why he’ll use his revive if a non-droid toon dies and waste it.

Said that “All "revives" are technically the same under the hood. This one just has a special subclass of targets (Droids). The AI is functioning as it was designed to, in that an ally is dead therefore it's okay to use the revive. The AI has no way at current to know that its revive won't work.”

Insight into class tags

Said that adding a second tag to characters that seem to fit several classes would “Break Many Things”.

Someone asked for General Leia or to Zeta Princess Leia

Capgasp mentioned everyone is on vacation and can’t just create a character out of thin air as it takes many weeks. But said that hopefully they could do something appropriate to honor her memory when everyone returns.

As usual very active the past two weeks. Thanks!

HiddenSpring84 (Client Guy)

Someone asked about the problem with abilities not taking up the top 50% of the information window and being cut off at the bottom

Said it should be fixed in an upcoming patch because it’s not acting as it’s intended.

SWpewpew (Sound Guy)

Nothing since ships implementation.

He worked on the awesome music and band in the Ships room.

CG_Conduit (Character Guy)

Nothing new this week.

Show Notes

Lots of 7* Vaders popping up lately, How’s yours Wink?

U-Wing/SRP/Bistan Pack

Wednesday through December 30th.

4 U-Wing Shards & 3 Star Bistan (iOS)/Scarif Rebel Pathfinder (Android)

Thought it would be 3* each day for 15 shards each day, enough for each side to get a 7* character, but it’s 5 shards a day and 4 U-Wing shards.

Great deal, slightly less with it not going to 7*, but free is free.

Poe/Phasma weren’t given as 7* when TFA came out.

Poe/Phasma easily farmable after free character though.

Japan Test Build

Wednesday night from around 10:30 PST to 10:55 PST, Japan test build was pushed to live server instead of their test server.

Handed out free bronzium pack rewards each time the popup came up on the main screen.

Popup came up about ten to thirty seconds after you closed the last one.

Gave you things in your inventory automagically and sent a message to your inbox telling you you’d received them.

Not a huge bug, but helpful to some shard wise. All was low level gear, but shards are main concern in the essence of fairness to everyone.

Were you online for this Wink?

I was and got 32 Dathcha shards and 12 QGJ shards. Roughly 600 shard shop currency. So sweet, I’ll take it. Kind of weird though that this happened.

Saw someone post on the facebook group a picture of them recieving a 3* Echo and other full charactres.

Will they do anything?

Rogue 1 Update!

Emperor’s Demise Return

No update for level 85. Same difficulty as it was last time around.

Cassian Andor

Nope, you guessed it… tournament character

Another tournament… Dec. 21st

Double rewards until Dec. 20th!!!

Normal AAT Tank Takedown was heavily nerfed… too much?

Damage, Boss Health, Minion Health, Speed reduced.

Jedi now have their Crit Strike Chance increased by 20% during all phases.

Raid started 3 hours ago, now halfway through P3 with half the people attacking as usual.

Free gear! 50 of all the new raid pieces

Update?

Ships

Update to Zeta Information from last week

Need 5 5* DS Ships to unlock Executrix

Can use mix LS/DS ships for Executrix up to 3*. 4* + requires

Need 8 7* Ships to do last Ship Ability Mat Challenge, mixture LS/DS

Q&A

AAT P3: Your thoughts on Boba lead with Greedo, Scavenger, Nebit and/or Asajj (with her new speed), Dengar, Zam Wessel. Pros: tm with thermal, Asajj crazy fast and always buff, crit damage... from guildmate: Bedor

Do you think that if we get enough redditors to sign a petition to balance mods away from speed being the singular stat needed, they would listen?

What’s a snowball’s chance in hell?

Should I farm Baze from the Shard Shop?

Eh.

Yoda or Plo to G11 first? -John on twitter. Attempting first T7 Monday!

Yoda because he can be super awesome against the Rancor! If done correctly, your entire time can have foresight before the Rancors first turn, works well in P2-4. One of our most successful early teams used this strategy. Also use him before rancor drops below 50% health.

Is it better to level up or star up ships? Is there a point where you should switch?

Rule of thumb: 10 levels = 1* level

Level to the point that abilities can be upgraded, usually have significant bonuses in level 3 or 4 (this can apply to toons also!)

Ship strategies:

Use Seize the Advantage first with AA, especially if he’s one of your fastest ships (this is all

TFP coming out of reserve since he has no protection and gets foresight

Use lower health ships in reserve, guarantees that they get an attack in

Target weakest enemy with AA’s AOE when you have buffed allies

What is the best Capital ship?

Home One is a Home Run!

Which of the 3 toons is your most geared?

When does turn order matter?!

Matters only when one toon has an ability that enhances what the next toon can do. Examples: getting bonus from debuffs, bonuses for certain amounts of TM, defense down, ability block on toons like B2 before an AOE, O up before main attackers go, crit chance up, O down before AOE on counter toons, etc.

Short attack window

Talk about fight mechanics order. Several suggestions are: sun fac's unique applying debuffs on attack (not hit), so it can apply through foresight; the difference between rey's foresight (on hit) vs tfp's at the end of the turn (rey cannot be counter hit, tfp can be); what happens when two characters have 100% tm (e.g. st han taunts, one of the team hits shore and the opposing b2 gets 100% tm, who goes first?), etc.

Safe to attack counter toon with Rey, not with TFP: except SunFac, can still debuff Rey and give crit % down

Multiple toons with 100% TM becomes random order! That is why manipulating speed for turn order can be important. What about someone getting full TM when multiple others already have full?

Could you guys please discuss Rebel, Droid, and Jawa ideal turn orders. Aside from St. Han/JE modded to go first? -Nirokogaseru

Droids: (JE first, obviously)

Ideally, HK -> IG88 -> IG86 -> Nebit or whoever else

Nebit’s assist should be after droids have used to TM

Debuffs give a ton of extra damage to IG88, IG88 will give defense down to help out IG86

Always want a debuffer going ahead of IG88

Useful toons for that: Old Ben, HK, Boba, TFP, EP, Phasma, etc. (HK only logical one in a droid team)

Rebel’s

Han Solo, want him to go first to stun. {Rimshot} Him going early can give crit chance up.

AA before Lando or Biggs can be huge!

If going against B2, use Biggs or Leia before anyone who does an AOE

Everyone go before SRP to get full advantage of ™

Jawa’s
