Star Wars : Galaxy of Heroes |OT| The best chance to unlock Kylo-Ren

I can't see the bundles as they've expired for me, but usually the more expensive packs come with better characters and premium currency/purple gems.
I get that. I guess that I'm surprised that the jump in offer size is so big so fast
The Sith bundle is just a 3-star Greedo.
There is no actual Sith in there and it's meant to 'prop up' a fledgling starter player who want to have an earlier access to Dark Side missions' minimum of 3-man squad requirement.
I find it fairly priced since I'm mostly F2P and take it as the entry price to the game.
It's a decent game, but the RMT is too influential and I'm fine sticking to like top1000 tier instead of banging my head against the Wall of Whales in top 500

Get gud, I've spent $10 on the game and I'm 100-200

I just unlocked Luke from grinding on the Cantina for the last few days! Don't know how good he is without a lightsaber but it's time to work on that gear level!
I like Luke, his attacks do around 1500 for normal and 2500-3000 for special when he's levelled up.

I have him at level 40 right now and got his gear level only to two. Probably work more on it tomorrow with more energy.
Don't turn in todays dailies untill patch goes live guys! DONT WASTE THAT EXP!
It depends on what server you end up joining too. My server isn't all that competitive, we've only got 2-3 big time whales with crazy Leia/fotp teams. Most others are still running bad versions of Phasma/Lum/Sidious teams. I can make top 20 without spending anything on refreshes and top 5 if I do.
I'm not finding Luke that impressive. I've put a lot into him, have his critical chance buff at level 4, but he still doesn't seem to crit at often as some of my other characters. And he's kind of useless without criting.
Latley I've been replacing him on my team with Fives and seem to be getting better results. But maybe he gets better with time.
There are a lot of totally F2P players who are at the top ranks, so I kind of have to disagree that the RMT is too influential. It just takes time, and coming in after launch on a server with people who have been playing longer is rough. You just have to plan your team.

Did the new update make shards even harder to grind or am I just unlucky right now?
real money transaction
I started playing Capitol's other game Heroes of Dragon Age last night and that game is actually pretty cool too.

I got to the top 50 early on in the game. Then I didn't play for one weekend and feel to 2700 or something. Battled my way back up and now I'm on the edge of the top 1000. I have to refresh like crazy to find a manageable opponent because everyone is Sidious/Lum/Dooku level 6/7 star even way back here. I want a new server.

What's the best way to get actual characters outside of spending real money?

Pretty much grind away for purple crystals doing the light and dark side fights, which unlocks the daily achievements until you get 350 and buy a Chromium data card with it and cross your fingers you get a Character out of it, mostly get shards though for a random character. That's how I got Dooku and a few others.

If you want random characters save your people's I guess. If you want specific characters find where the shards drop and use purples for refreshes.
Still 50 energy? Would be nice if they just did the same rewards but higher difficulty at lower cost
Yep still 50, which I don't think is too bad if you buy the energy at the cheapest rate.

No Mace Windu? No chance.
We all know Kit Fisto goes down with one lightsaber swing. I'd say Plo Koon and Aayla go down just as quickly. I hope Qui Gon, Barriss and Luminara can hold out by themselves.
first time trying Galactic War after the change.
Was fine, lost 7 characters total... sounds like more than it was. Jedi Counselor died due to Sidious healing debuff. That's a whole lot more brutal now, so I subbed Barriss into the team after that. My Sidious died to some BS triple attack from a Phasma/Geno Soldier/FotP attack. Could of reset it but it was the 2nd to last fight and had characters to burn.
Last 5 deaths was against the final team, I subbed in my "C" team just to see how well they'd fair... managed to get rid of 2 heroes and some cooldowns so there's that.
Didn't end up needing to reset (I usually don't though). Lack of retreating to clear debuffs/sub in fresh characters makes catching up on cooldowns much harder but with basically "infinite" tries with the A-team, you can always reset a bad start so meh? I don't see what all the hoopla is about.

Just promoted my Genosian soldier. Also incredibly close to promoting IG-86. Only have 1,200 crystals after buying energy.
Stormtrooper Han is starting to become incredibly useful. Once you level his taunt skill and passive up enough, he becomes a monster support taunter. He gives out so much turn meter, which can easily win games.
He's not the best for 3-staring missions because he's likely to die, but he's finally replaced Chewy in my PVP team.

If anyone has something other then a lumi/chewie/sideous leader and wants a level 61 sideous/lumi leader, add me: 712-658-315.
BTW FOTP is too god damn strong right now. If you have him at a decent star and combo him with a poe + leia you can pretty much dominate any team, even one thousands of power above you.
EDIT: Just found out FOTP is bugged at 7* right now. When he goes from 6*->7* apparently his strength value switches with his agility value so he gets ridiculously tanky along with the highest DPS output in the game. So yeah, if you can drop hundreds to get 7* FOTP right now, you can probably rank 1 easy.

What's made this combo so much stronger is at level 61, Poe has a chance of going first now. Because of how speed works, he can even get a turn before Dooku. It's all RNG, but your only chance is to use a Poe of your own and hope RNG is in your favor (or pray for a Dooku turn/stun before Poe moves). The 61-69 meta seriously sucks right now.
I can't wait to hit 70... Geno Soldier will also have a chance of going first so it would open up the ability to 1-shot Poe before he moves again. Still incredibly luck-based but at least possible.
I got on the Poe train late though, mine is 3 shipments away from 4 star
I'll probably still use him at that level though... how sad is that.Seventy_X_Seven

Should I focus on trying to hit level 70 with my characters or bringing the rest collection up to 60? I have,
Lv. 60 g.7 6s Phasma
Lv. 60 g.7 6s Asaaj
Lv. 60 g.7 4s FO Stormtrooper
Lv. 60 g.7 2s FO TIE Pilot
Lv. 60 g.6 3s FO Commander
Lv. 60 g.6 4s Poe
Lv. 60 g.6 4s Finn
Lv. 60 g.6 3s Resistance Pilot
Lv. 60 g.6 3s Resistance Trooper
Then about 20 other guys around level 40 to 50. I'm hitting at the edge of top 500 now in Arena, but in Galactic War I'm constantly running out on the last wave. I also know I'm doing it wrong without many healers. All I got besides Asaaj's spotty healing is a level 52 JC and Talia.

Poe is just arena material, he sucks outside of that. In Arena though, his taunt lasts 2 turns, can cause expose on the entire enemy team, and reduces enemy turn meter. You can basically have your entire squad go first before the enemy squad if Poe goes first.
Combine that with some glass cannon 1-shotters, and you're looking at 2-3 dead characters before you even have a chance to go.
The kicker is, even if you do go after he taunts, you still have to get around his taunt/kill him. He's squishy, but any damage done to him is damage NOT done to the class cannons he's protecting.
Geno Soldier's assist call ends up having a 1 round cooldown, so every other round two guys are smacking you. He's got high crit/damage and he's also very fast (and gains meter on crit). Those glass cannons I was talking about that Poe protects? He's one of the farmable ones. Geno is one of those characters who (should) never leave your team IMO, he's useful everywhere.
Lum is great for PvE stuff but falls off in PvP. Healing ends up sucking when you start facing non-stop 1-shot teams. What point is there in healing for a turn, if you're going to blow up the next anyway. It's a wasted "turn" and to easy to exploit on defense with all the Sidious's everywhere.
Bring up JC. His low cooldown heal makes him a main-stay in my Galactic War team. Personally, I run:
Lum (leader), JC, Sidious, Geno Soldier as my "main" group. My 5th slot is a rotation between Dooku, Fives, Barriss, IG-86. If I lose a Lum/JC before the last 3 fights, I'll simply reset and try again... it rarely happens but they're my main stay. I have a couple ringer teams (Phasma, Chewie, etc) that I'll throw in there for the last wave or two to burn cooldowns/try to kill some characters.

695-262-636 is my ally code. I'm currently level 45 and plan on adding those who posted their codes in this thread. This game has been a lot of fun and the next day or so will be quite exciting, as I will have enough shards for Sidious, Luminara, AND Poe.

How do you farm Leia?
Throw cash at it.
Try Kylo. Farmed him insanely fast.

Where does Kylo drop anyways? It just tells me Neutral C, which I'm assuming is the Cantina Battles.
Xaero Gravity
NEXT LEVEL lame™
Do you remember which ones specifically?
Table 4, battle C and Table 6, battle C.
Don't farm JC past 4 stars IMO. I trained him up to 6, wasn't worth it.
I feel relatively sure they lower the drop rates the closer you are to getting the amount you need.
Could be, I feel like cantina battles have much better drop rates then light/dark battles. Like in 30%-40% ranges.

Can you make your characters go from one star to two stars etc?
How?
