I managed it. Got through that battle only losing Sid and Asajj. Finished the rest pretty easily.

Tip for others new to GW. If you keep retreating and still can't beat a stage with a favorable outcome, try shuffling your teams order up. I'm not sure why but this changes the rng of the opponents actions. I've won with the exact same strategy, just moving my guys to different spots made the AI do attacks that I could handle much better.

Yeah, this is a good tip. If you load up the same exact team in the same exact order, the battle is going to play out the exact same way (assuming you make the same moves). So if the other team starts with a fury of big crits and stuns and shite, shuffle your team around and it might be better.

Also, I read once that your GW opponents are pulled from your "neighbors" in the arena. In other words, high arena rank equals tough GW opponents. I can't say how accurate this is, but if enough of us start paying attention to our arena rank and GW difficulty, there might be some truth to it.

Got into the top 10 now in my pool.
Still only lv 43 so I have not been able to grind the team I 100% want but I am using.

4 star Sid
4 star Poe
4 star Cade Bane (He will have to go, as I was lucky to get him. No way to farm him)
4 star Geo Soldier
4 star Jedi Counselor

Might want to consider farming Lumi to replace JC. She's stronger all-around and easier to farm.

I'm running:

7* Lumi
6* Phasma
5* Sid
5* Kylo
5* Han

And I can't get into the top 500 in my pool.

I am farming her. I will have her soon. I started farming her as soon as GC opened for me. I am 1 for 3 in completing that damn thing.

My 5th character is who I am on the fence about.

Sid, Poe, Geo, Lumi are locks

I wanted I-86 but Lumi is getting all my GC farming. Maybe if I started winning these things daily I could farm them both.

And yea. Doubt I stay top 10. I just had a plan farming so I got the good characters like Poe before most. Teams are getting better and better each day.

Did you read the patch notes?

Poe is getting nerfed a bit but not where it matters.

Mace is getting a buff.

Damn you must be getting tons of crystals. I always thought if I could get in the top 10 and farm crystals it would be best to get the 8 packs of cards to get shards of the characters. I dunno tho since crystal farming is slow for I just use a extra hundred a day to farm in the cantina

I use my crystals in a different way. As I find it less chance and easier to keep my PVP team geared.

Once a day I recharge cantina energy and twice a day I do the regular energy. That ends up being 200 or so maybe 250 I think.

If you are trying to get new characters yea the 8 pack is a good buy. I just have a small number of guys I am concentrated on.

Prolly why my GC team is not as good. I don't have anything good outside of like 6 guys.

Your pool is probably all meta guys at this point. That is why yours is tough. Everyday that passes gets tougher because of the pool system they use.

I am with guys using some bad character choices as most I fight are lv 45-50.

I am sure everyone picks me to fight when trying to move up as my power is about 1000 less than everyone. I just have a good team right now, as all were quick to farm and got Cade in a pack. Once people get who they want, I am sure to drop down.

I just read them. Maybe I'll be able to beat dark 5A(hard) since Talia and Oppress are both getting slight buffs (I don't have Daka, and I'm putting off farming her while I work on QGJ). This patch also makes me happy in my decision to keep up that long farm for QGJ with the Jedi event coming up. Here are my Jedi:

7* Lumi
4* Mace
3* QGJ
3* JC
3* Aayla
2* Ahsoka
2* JK Guardian

It will probably take me a while to get 5 of them to 5* or higher, especially since Aayla is p2p. I might have to try to pick up Eeth Koth if getting both QGJ and Ahsoka to 5* takes too long.

Who is the new Jedi supposed to be? Yoda?

God dammit. I just got him today, finally, and I don't even get to see what all the fuss was about.

They are not nerfing his speed or turn reduction.

That is why he is so good in PVP. So you will not miss out on anything.

Level his taunt and him and enjoy.

He is still nearly as useful as he always was, the nerf isn't too bad. They didn't even touch the parts that make him (possibly) OP: his speed, and his taunt ability that reduces enemy turn meters. And Poe is only really good when you put him with the right team, it seems. He needs a couple of "glass cannons" behind him to really shine. Basically Poe goes right after the really fast guys like Sid and Dooku, so right off the bat he can taunt and reduce most of the enemy team's turn meters. So then even the slowest heavy hitter behind Poe gets to go before the other team, and often that's enough to take down at least one enemy. Once you're at 5-4, it's pretty much game over. The part getting nerfed is his "expose" ability, which lets you do more damage to enemies, but I don't think that's going to kill Poe's usefulness in the arena.

More concerning for a lot of Poe users, I think, is they are also nerfing FOTP.

I don't think this is true. I finish in the top 10 in arena every day and GW is a crap shoot on what you get it seems. Some days I blow through it without having to retreat and some days I hit a team 8 levels higher than me in battle 8.

My team in arena is below and I am level 52:

5* HK-47 (lead)
5* Geo Soldier
4* Ig-86
4* Ig-88
3* Poe

I do the same thing. The characters will come along as you play the game, staying at the top end of the level range in your server/pool and gearing your guys up is more important. I do buy the occasional pack for fun though when I have crystals built up. I've gotten Poggle and QGJ through these.

Devs say it is true. Well true to an extent. They keep saying it is only part of the GC equation. They say they pull from a number of things and rank in arena is one of them.

Also I have only had GC open for 4 days but I have had a match of guys 8 levels higher or about each time. It sucks.

That is solid. Did you buy the starter pack that gave you the 3 droids? I was tempted to but didn't.

I did, since after reading the forums that was the type of team that I wanted to build. I try not to spend money on these types of games, but it tempted me too much.

It helped that they were somewhat reasonably priced at $25, if it was $50 like the Barriss pack, I would have passed.
