    So what do you do with these guys? Are they even worth taking to 7*? Are there any who are complete duds? Are they ALL complete duds?

    I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    @YKMisfit @shadow87654 These are my jawas. I beat and 3 starred all three tiers of the crit damage mods challenge with them. I had 7 starred them just in case we would ever need them for a C3P0 legendary event. But other than that, that's it. I haven't touched them since the mod challenge. They were 7 star when I beat it, go figure. They all are the same gear level, xp level, ability level, and they have the same mods, etc. So you get the point. lol. ;) I just don't see a need for them in my current roster. That's all. Sorry jawas. Maybe you'll be needed for a C3P0 legendary event. But until then, move along... move along... :sweat_smile:

    Yeah, I've long since 3*d the T3 mod challenge. I took Dathcha to 7* because I didn't have anything else to farm in the GW store anyway, and when I 7* my Raid Han, I'll run the Brotini team in HAAT. I also took Scav to 7 for the same reason, and Engineer because I'd like to use him with droids.

    I've given up hope on Jawa. I took him to 5* and that's where he'll stay until I can find a use for him or start needing whatever gear is on his hard node.

    Nebit, I'm sure I'll bring up to 7* just because of the droid team above, but I still have 2 more toons I want out of the squad store before I feel like I can get the last star on him.

    Thanks again for those who replied. There were a couple of very useful suggestions in here that I hadn't though of or read elsewhere so thanks for the input!

    Well, with the change to mod challenges, I think we can drop the reasons to ever farm a single shard for any of the jawas down to 0.

    As outlined in some of the posts above, they can be used in some parts of the game, but finding a use for a toon you already have and going out and actively farming one are two very different things. I think we can all agree that the things we've discussed here and the areas of the game that we've been able to find roles for them can be done by other toons, and often in a far superior way.

    I don't understand the change to the jawa mod challenge requirements from CG's perspective. Why create a game, 5 characters, build in faction synergies and a role only to eliminate the one reason people had for using them? We've created a product, now lets eliminate the market for it!

    Hopefully they create some kind of Jawa event like they have for Ewoks, or make them the "other" faction in one of the existing (or upcoming) Assault Battles or something.

    Jawas dont really have a race wide synergy now...if they gonna rework them.

    For example,
    FO: advantage.
    Resistance: expose.
    BH: contracts.
    something like that.

    Jawa? huh? probably have more synergy with droids than themselves.
  • Options
    I very much doubt we'll see a faction rework for jawas, nor am I calling for one.

    I just figure it makes most sense for CG and the game in general for as many toons as possible (or at least each faction, if not every toon within it) to have an actual use for something in game. Yes, the jawas weren't good in arena or any other game mode for that matter, but they were needed to be able to farm one type of mod in the game, and that's fine. One small purpose is better than no purpose at all. But as it stands now, they just took 5 toons from their game and made them 100% irrelevant.

    Jawas aren’t the only useless faction. When is the last time you used a Tusken for anything?
  • Options
    I'm not saying they're the only useless faction, but they did have a use and now they don't. Not only that, but Tuskens are 3 toons and actually have an omega battle that they can be used in (I think jawas do too, actually). There are lots of useless toons from meaningful factions (Lobot-Various Rebel Events, Mob Enforcer-CH/DH), and there are other useless factions that have useful toons (Separatists-Asajj/B2/Dooku), but a useless faction made up entirely of useless toons? That's just terrible.

    Look, I run 2 alternate accounts that don't have jawas or crit damage mods yet (I was farming them, but that's fine, I'm happy to stop) so this change actually benefits me. I'm not bitter or anything, I just don't get why they would want to have any more useless factions than they already do. I would think the goal would be to give people more reason to use all the things you've built into the game, not less.

    It's all factions which really bugs me. If you want CD or Potency mods for example and don't have Jawas & Empire developed enough you had an option: settle for 1 & 2 dot. The 3-5 dots were a reward for players with a wide balanced roster. Now it's just a free-for-all and removes the resource management and attention needed to actually build 8 solid teams with different cores. Rewarding players who don't bother focusing on goals and just build one really strong team. I feel it's made the game weaker overall.

    I really wanted CD mods for my FO team so I was in the middle of farming Jawas. Now any bloke who hasn't bothered farming or focusing can go out and farm the same mods I was building towards.

    Sorry for being late to the post, but my honest opinion is they aren't worth the time to fully gear out. c2t0a8sfwybt.png

    As someone who loves Jawas, I am taking the time and effort to farm them all to gear 12 regardless of their usefulness or not.

    Ugh, buddy. This might be the worst use of valuable gear I have ever seen in the game. They quite literally have zero usage.

    And a really low GP to bother putting it all on them. I could understand a "pet project" later on when key characters are G12 but...

    Ahh replying to ancient thread lol....
    Anyhoo My Jawas are effective in GA as a defense, players often underestimate them and send in a trash team that loses and that one misstep can win me my matchup. I'm planning at 3mil. Gp and often both boards are cleared so any mistakes can cost you the match.
    Not suggesting to farm them but if you have them use them. Old teams can confuse your opponent and most of them are not on the counter charts

    It appears that I've been sidetracked since then. Not got them there yet, but definitely will.

    I fought against a GA Jawa team, all level 85 7* for the first time recently. I'm 1.8 mill GP with a horrible roster. They didn't even get a turn against 1 of my crummy b-teams. I think I took them with my Poggle HK 86 G soldier and Daka team.
