GA gp defence needs rebalancing
I’m stitting at 1.2 million character gp, as are the others in my bracket. At this gp we need to set 8 defence teams, but this means we barely get to do any attacks. I think the most was five from me to an opponent, or from an opponent to my defence.
Something’s not right with how the brackets are working out.

If you are saying that you must use not only well-developed top teams in GA - well, it's the entire point of this mode. Not only small amount of top teams matters, you need deeper (but not too deep) roster.
Checking my roster I have 108 toons over 6k gp. 80 over 10k gp. There's plenty to attack with. Yes, if you set your strongest toons on defense you're leaving yourself with not much in the way of offense, especially if your opponent also sets their strongest on defense. That's where the strategy comes in. And also roster depth.
If you had just, say 5, for defense and offense, everyone with weaker roster would see it is almost lost right from the start.
So yes, it is difficult to choose the right formations, and to hold enough power left for the attack round. That is the strategy and tactic component of GA ;-)
If you don't have enough teams for attacking, you may have put up a too strong defence. But, since your opponent seems to have done the same, you may pull through.
Looks like I will, but it’s not just the one; it’s been all opponents this round. Maybe at slightly higher gp, 8 defence works. At 1.2 mill, it doesn't appear so.
If anything, it makes ga kind of dull. Less attacks / defence than a usual day in the arena.
set a weaker defense and leave teams for offense so you can take down their strong defense, problem solved?
The final is a totally different affair. I cleared one territory, my opponent did the same, with me being ahead by 4 banners. I have cleared his other front territory and am now waiting to see what they come back with. They went pretty heavy on defense (all G12 in both front territories) and quite a few G11 in the back. Not entirely sure how much they have left in the tank.
They may be just waiting til the last minute and try to snipe a victory but the suspense is literally killing me atm. The most tense and tactical GA I have had so far
Attack 1: Revan + 2 jedi
Attack 2: Bastilla + 2 jedi
Defense 1: zKylo Unmasked + 2 First Order
Defense 2: 3 Ewoks
Attack 3: zFinn + 2 Resistance
Attack 4: JTR + 2 Resistance
Attack 5: 3 Sith
Attack 6: 3 Empire
Defense 3: CLS + 2 Rebels
Defense 4: 3 Rebels
Defense 5: zBossk + 2 Bounty Hunters
Defense 6: zJango + 2 Bounty Hunters
Defense 7: 3 Nightsisters
Defense 8: 3 Nightsisters
Attack 7: Rogue 1
Attack 8: Veterans + Raid Han
Maybe you do not have them to G12 and 6E mods, but in any case they are what you would be using anyway in future as well, so worth investing in.
While I understand what you’re saying, it doesn’t really help. The short version would be ‘git gud’. The issue is that, at a much lower gp than the long term players, an 8 man defence and attack is pretty much not possible.
4 shoddy ones at the back and hope the front holds isn’t so much ‘skill’ than it is chance.
Had it been 6 attack / defend, it may have been more enjoyable. However, as it is, I did three attacks, he’s done 6, but looks like I’ll win simply as too many teams got tied into defence. Same in the second round as it was in the first round.
I’m curious to know from those who have 8 team defence what their character gp is and how many realistic attacks they managed (rather than the unrealistic ‘it might just work’ / I have no choice but these losers).
Not skill, but strategy.
That is one of the skills of GA, especially at the lower to middle GP areas
I put it in an earlier post.
In the final round, I set 405k gp on defense, leaving me with roughly twice that on offense (though understandably not all of that is truly usable).
My opponent set 347k in the 3 territories I can see, plus likely at least another 80k in the last.
I've done 8 attacks clearing 2 territories and defeating 4 teams.
He's done 7 attacks clearing 1 territory and defeating 3 teams.
We both went pretty heavy on defense but still managed attacks.
