[VIDEOS] Royal Guard and Poe in the same team, strategy against teams with QGJ, Yoda and Rey

This topic is already finished once the strategy it's working. You can continue reading more about this in the following topic:

I am farming Royal Guard after the update, from the 15 march I have 4 stars and gear 8, and I thought combine Royal Guard with Poe against teams who have Qui-Gon Jinn as leader, Yoda and Rey.

In this strategy is necessary use 3 good attackers, and the best 2 attackers of the game are Geonosian Soldier and IG-86.

I checked different options for the third attacker, I checked IG-88, Luminara and now Poggle.

This is the last videos with Poggle as leader:

VIDEO 10 - Poggle as leader
https://youtu.be/q37NNWNMFmM

Definitely with Poggle as leader it is the best possible combination, GS and IG-86 are the best attackers of the game, and with Poggle are much more better thanks to the +25% offense of the leader ability of Poggle, and the +50% offense up of the speacial ability of Poggle, and the combination of Poe and Royal Guard is very good to have enough time to kill the characters, with only one tank is more difficult, if I change Poe by QGJ, for example, would be worse, or if I change Poggle by QGJ as leader and Poe by Yoda also would be worse, is better this combination.

The following videos is with Luminara as leader, also works nice, but I lost around 25 positions during the night with Luminara as leader. With Poggle as leader I only lost 8 positions, from 1th to 5th and from 5th to 8th, I lost only 2 battles the rest of the day.

From videos 1th to 5th, the skills of my Royal Guard was 3-3-3, from 6th to 10th was 5-3-6, it means that the stun chance was increased from 65% to 80%, gain more turn meter and health, and also 5% more tenacity. Also from videos 6th to 10th I played better, a lot of times with almost full health in all characters, or only losing RG, for this reason I have published the videos in inverse order.

To farm Royal Guard I'm buying shards of RG in the shipments, 2 shards by 100 crystals, or 3 shards by 150 crystals, it is the same as recharge the hard nodes and have a drop rate of 33%, that is the rate that I'm getting with the hard nodes, an average of 2 shards per day, that with an average of another 2 shards per day in the shipments is 4 shards per day. Now I have 9/65 for the 5 stars, with a average of 4 shards per day I will get 5 stars in 14 days, or recharging the hard nodes can be an average of 6 shards per day and then would be 9 days, and then 14 extra days for the 6 stars and 17 extra days for the 7 stars, a total of 40 days to get 7 stars, that can be less with the bronzium data cards, shard rewards in the GW or a better frequency in the shipments or a better luck in the drops, then can be around 35 days.

RG and Poe could work quite well together for sure, i don't have Poe but my RG is 3* just from random bronzium and the (few) chromium pulls i've done.

What i think could work well against the standard QJG+Yoda+Rey teams for you would be:

Poggle
IG 88
GS
Poe
RG

Poggle is quick so he can speed up IG 88 and offense up your team, meaning that 88 and GS will hit really hard particularly if your Poe gets a taunt off with some exposes to boot. The main issue i see is if they kill 88 or GS before RG taunts, as the rest of the team will not be doing much damage otherwise.

If you wanted to maximise damage and have a bit of control as well, you could also try:

Dooku
Poggle
GS
Poe
RG

This way you have a reliable way to stun Yoda/QJG, Dooku will get counter attacks and with Poggle's offense up can hit pretty dang hard considering it's about 3k per hit with offense up without crits in addition to the annoying evade chance that Dooku provides as Leader (although apparently the dodge chance is currently bugged).

Those are my thoughts, i have fought many Dooku led teams who normally have 4 glass cannons and a healer (normally Old Daka).

There are no fool proof defense. They could easily swap out dooku for a rg or Eeth against your comp. human player would open up with yoda against your ig88/86 triggering rg taunt and then immediately dispel using qgj. They can then kill 88 and the rest of the fight will be easy. Sure GS and poggle will get a turn but the game is already 4v5 and you won't win on defense.

I think that this strategy need 3 attackers, if you have Dooku, Poggle and GS, the only character that can kill one character in the first turn is GS, and it's important kill Yoda and QGJ in the first round, and the Geonosian Soldier in the second round, if you only kill QGJ, and in the second round you only kill Yoda, the GS enemy will use again his special ability, and also Rey would be able to use both abilities.
If you have IG-86, GS and Luminara/IG-88, you can kill 2 characters in the first round and another 2 characters in the second round, for example QGJ and Yoda at the beginning, then GS and Rey in the second turn, and Dooku at the end.

So the other 3 characters need to be attackers as Geonosian Soldier, Resistance Pilot, Rey, Resistance Trooper, FOTP, IG-88, IG-86 or also Luminara, and the best are who have assistance, GS and IG-86, are the best attackers of the game, and then the third can be IG-88 that works in synergy with IG-86 and is a very good assistance and have AOE ability and a good leader ability (+20% critical chance), or Luminara that can use the force blast at the beginning and the curation in the second round.

Poggle is useful to apply offense up to all allies and speed up to IG-86, but if QGJ and Yoda/Rey survives the first attacks of GS and IG-86, IG-88 will kill they with the AOE ability, if both survive then Poggle only can kill one of them. Also is a problem using Luminara. With this strategy the speed don't matter, because the attackers always will go after the fast characters of the enemy, the only exception can be GS that can go first that Rey, so is not important that IG-86 gain speed up, and besides GS go first than Poggle, and GS can gain offense up without Poggle, IG-86 with Poggle as leader and offense up can deal critical damages of 14K, but is not necessary this damage, is enough with 10K or 12K and the assist, so maybe IG-88 is the best option because of his leader ability (+20% critical chance), and IG-86 have an extra 4,5% critical chance, so it's +24,5%, than with the natural +50% it's a total of 74,5%.

So I think that it will work nice with IG-88 as leader, IG-86, GS, Poe and RG, but I need check it

It is truth that if Yoda attack IG-88 and RG activate the taunt, Dooku attack RG, and then QGJ can dispel the taunt of RG, then GS can kill IG-88, but it means that RG will continue living and will activate the taunt again after kill IG-88, so Rey will attack RG anyway, if my GS don't kill she before, and then it's turn of my Poe, my GS and my IG-86 that can kill QGJ and Rey/Yoda, and in the second round kill GS and Yoda/Rey, so in the worst case that IG-88 die before act, still is easy to win, but I will need check it to assure that it's a good strategy, tomorrow I will have RG with 4 stars and gear 8 and IG-88 with 7 stars and full gear 8, so I will try it and I will record videos and I will publish it.

IG-86/88 gets killed in 1 hit (+assist), so Poe nor RG will protect them.

Truth, but Yoda go first than QGJ, so RG will activate the taunt and then QGJ will attack RG, the droids will survive, the only way to kill IG-88 at the beginning is attack another character with Yoda, that will have more than 50% health, and then attack IG-88 with QGJ, but anyway the taunt of RG will be activated and then it's turn of my GS that can kill Rey, my Poe and my IG-86 that can kill Yoda, so from then it will be 4 vs 3 and I will have advantage.

Now I have Poggle (L), GS, IG-86, Poe and Kylo Ren, I'm rank 1 everyday, now I'm 9th when only remains less than 3 hours for the rewards, but with RG and Poe in the same team, and with IG-88, IG-86 and GS, I think that can be better, because with my current team the enemy always will attack my IG-86 at the beginning, and then I only have GS and Kylo to attack, but with RG and Poe I will have at least GS and IG-86, and with a lot of probability to also have IG-88. I need check it, but I think that it can work.

Achilles

So, you want to swap Poggle for IG-88 and Kylo for RG? right? Who will be leader? IG-88? Wouldnt HK-47 be the better choice in your case?

Yes, the team would be IG-88 as leader (+20% critical chance), Geonosian Soldier, Poe Dameron, Royal Guard and IG-86 (74,5% total critical chance).

HK-47 is another interesting option, I have he at lvl 70, full gear 8, but 4 starts, because I'm farming IG-88, tomorrow IG-88 will be 7 stars, and then I will continue farming HK-47. He have a lot of health, so the only way for the enemy would be kill IG-86 at the beginning, but he have a health of 10.961, he can survive the special ability of QGJ, and then play with HK-47 (L), GS, IG-86, Poe and RG, I need check if IG-86 can resist the damages and survive before the taunt of Royal Guard, if he don't survive maybe is better lose IG-88 and have IG-86 than lose IG-86 and have HK-47.

My IG-88 skills are 5-6-3-3, I need wait to sunday to do the improvements to 6-6-7-6 and then I will check it in the Arena against the best teams. Also I will check it today in the Galactic War, but in the GW I need Luminara.

DrewN76

What about

HK 47
86
GS
Poe
RG

?

Assume 86 and GS live HK can ability block en mass, taking away QGJ ability to remove taunt buff allowing you to focus on yoda first or Rey. Hope your Poe can nail the other with offense down on his attack. Then finish off Rey or yoda or QGJ whatever order you took them down. I think I would go for yoda before he can foresight, qgj then hit Rey Hope that Poe got offense down on Rey. HK would have to hit crits to help, and 86 would need to as well. And pray GS got his offense up from round one. That way the round Poe gets you he could lay the wood.

Or try Barriss lead, and the rest minus HK. And hope the health boost keeps everyone on the board.

I wouldn't run 88 in that set up. He is target number one and is going to get one shot.

If you're using two tanks, I'd do 3 glass cannons (e.g., Rey, 86 & GS). Otherwise, if they're able to kill 86 before your taunts go up, you don't have enough firepower left to kill anyone.

DrewN76

I thought of that which is why I said maybe a Barriss lead to hope you keep GS and 86 up. Also Barriss could help keep RG around to keep saving them. I am speculating based on stats I don't have Barriss and my 86 and GS are only 5* each same Poe and RG are 4* each. I think to survive one shots and have a prayer maybe Barriss lead in that set up gets you the health to survive the burst before Poe can get you a free turn.

I don't have a Rey best I would have is FOTP at 4-* ... He could be one shot easy though.

Quim

How I said, maybe HK-47 can work well in this strategy, the problem is if the enemy kill IG-86, would be difficult kill QGJ, Yoda, Rey, GS and Dooku only with GS and HK-47 as attackers, the special ability of HK-47 is nice, but the AoE of IG-88 is 65% stronger and the basic attack is 55% stronger, HK-47 can gain offense up but the chance is only 55% and only could use it in the third round, it's better take a chance to lose IG-88 than take a chance to lose IG-86. The only way that HK-47 can be useful is if the 2.000 extra points of health of IG-86 is enough to resist Yoda and QGJ, the attack of Yoda is around 4K, not eought to activate the taunt of Royal Guard, and the special of QGJ is 4K and the assist around 5K, so the total can be around 12K, so IG-86 will die.

Also maybe is better use IG-88 to assure activate the taunt of Royal Guard when Yoda attack IG-88, or if the player decide attack a different character with Yoda and IG-88 with QGJ, is very likely that IG-88 survive, because a lot of times the damage will be less than 9K, sometimes is 6K or 7K, and the taunt of RG will be activated.

It's difficult guess how it will work, the best is check it in the Arena, I will check it between 10:00 PM and 12:00 AM, when I have 3 unused battles, try it in the first 2 battles and then be back to my team in the last battle.

Quim

LOL I checked it with my RG of 3 stars, I only need 1 shard to 4 stars and gear 7, tonight will be gear 8 and 4 stars, and I need improve the skills of my IG-88 and tomorrow will be 7 stars and Poe also 7 stars tonight, and I have checked it against a droid team.

GS enemy killed my IG-86 at the beginning and IG-86 killed my RG:

https://youtu.be/Hef-D1U00CU

Obviously I'm back to my team that is very much better, but maybe after get all the stars, gears and skills it can work. I'm not playing for the 1th because I prefer mantain the rank in the 3th position, and it's 9:00 PM, I got the reward of the 1th position already:

Jcdgamer97

The team I enjoy using is dooku, fives, plasma lead, luminara and RG. RG is only 3 star but still kills it. I never really focus on one toon, I just try to plan my stuns and speed down accordingly to really mess with everyone's turn meters. By the 3-4th round I might only have taken down 1 toon simply because all their characters are being stunned and slowed, and I take the ones out who are threatening out then. I am level 70, just relaxing at top 500 in a December server. Doing this to make my GW easier since the team is 20k power. I'm really amazed how strong and successful the team is. RG imo is my God and prized possession

Your team works in the TOP 500, but in the TOP 10 is not useful, my GS can kill your Luminara at the beginning, then IG-86 kill your RG, then Dooku and Phasma in the second round, team easy to win.

This topic is about if it's useful use RG and Poe in the same team for the TOP 10, to get the rank and to defend the rank, if it's more useful than use Poogle, GS, IG-86, Poe and Kylo, for example.

Last night I got 4 stars and full gear 8 in RG, now RG have more health than Poe (13.780 vs 13.567), so from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM I will try play with this team: Poggle (L), IG-86, GS, Poe and RG.

A problem is when the assist of GS or IG-86 is RG, then the enemy maybe don't die, because the damage of RG is only around 1K, when Kylo is around 3K, and Kylo can kill characters, in the last video you can see how Kylo inflicted a damage of 12K or 13K, almost killing Poe in 1 hit, so RG will not improve my team.

Also another problem is when the hit of GS don't get inflict more than a 50% damage of the health of the character, and the assist kill the character, then the taunt or RG is not activated, in the first video it happened.

Also a problem of RG without Poe is that when Rey and Yoda go first (Yoda in the assist of GS or QGJ), they can gain foresight, and then it's not possible attack Rey with GS or attack Yoda with IG-86, because with foresight will evade the first hit, but when Poe use the taunt the foresight of Rey and Yoda disappears and then I can use GS to kill Rey and IG-86 to kill Yoda.

Maybe RG can be useful in a team with QGJ as leader, Yoda, GS and Rey, without Poe, to prevent that the enemy kill 2 good characters at the beginning, but with Poe only can be a good combination if there is 3 good attackers, as GS and IG-86, that are the best attackers of the game, and a third attacker that can be Rey, FOTP, Resistance Pilot, IG-88, Luminara, Hoth Rebel Scout, Datcha or Jawa.

Resistance Pilot also is nice as third attacker, I have it with 5 stars and almost gear 7, I'm farming he with the GW shipments and improving the gears from 10 days ago, I will get the 7 stars in 12 days, he have the best damage in the basic attack, and the special ability the 11th better, only FOTP can be better if attacks 2 times, and he have 11.362 of health, can resist the special ability of QGJ, so Resistance Pilot is a good option, also Hoth Rebel Scout is a nice option, and he is fast, 143 speed, and can stun some fast character as Rey, his health is 11.848, and the next with more health is Luminara, but Luminara can be stunned by Dooku and it is a disadvantage.

So an alternative to IG-88 can be Resistance Pilot, but I will check the strategy with all characters to check what is the best option.

U'd be better putting poggle aa lead there than hk

Gungnir75

I run a qgj speed team with all first turns, I'm thinking your idea would crush on offense but a well diversified Jedi team would still beat it.

That doesn't exactly matter though bc nobody can really defend!

In the words of master windu "superior defense is gained by unstoppable offense"

I'd go with any of the variations, it's a great set up !

Quim

¡New videos! I checked it with my RG of 4 stars and gear 8 and it works But only works with Luminara as leader, with Poggle or IG-88 as leader is worse. I have recorded a total of 6 videos, first with Poggle as leader, the following 2 with IG-88 as leader, and the other 3 with Luminara as leader.

Luminara is very useful because can cure RG and Poe, and don't matter if Dooku stun Luminara at the beginning, because the curation ability only is necessary in the second round. Thanks RG, Poe and Luminara the enemy can't touch my attackers (GS, IG-86 and Luminara). I got the rank 1 with RG and Poe in the same team, and with a very good sensations if Luminara is the leader.

The skills of my RG are 3-3-3, I need improve it today in the skill materials event, for this reason the stun is only 65%, not 80%, and don't have worked a lot.

I can see the logic in this with the evasion as lead. I posted in my guilds forum on RG plus a second Taunt. The thing is you are bringing very low speed. 118,110,116, 142,149. Granted RG can activate at anytime one goes below 50%, but once your Poe tants(which on D AI does 1st go) you can burn him down, or finish him off. 3 different teams will eat this team up when it defends

AOE
Stun
Speed DPS(Rey,Leia,GS,QGJ,Yoda, Dooku)

I put Dooku their for insane speed and 50% double attack. I have run Max Dooku enough to know that his double attack hits in the 4-5.5k range so I do consider that strong DPS. Plus his Lightening typically hits at 3700-4,200 for me.

In theory it is a very sound idea. With more speed I think it would work great. Try QGJ in as lead. You have 3 assisters all calling someone either heavy hitting in GS or 86, or weakening in Poe, or a stung in RG, or if QGJ is called gains TM himself.

Very sound theory though I love the outside the norm thought. Bravo.

I think that it's not easy win this team also if the AI is controlling the team, because at the beginning GS and IG-86 will play well, with the randomness of the AI, but will use the special ability, also Poe will play well, and Luminara will try to cure RG, so it's the same as an human, the only different thing is the aleatory attacks, but it is a problem of the AI, not of the team.

So all the teams of the game can be defeated, with the aleatory attacks is not possible be rank 1 all the day.

I think that the healing ability of Luminara it's very important, I said it in the beginning, in the first post, and now it's confirmed, because after Yoda and QGJ, the taunt of RG is activated, and now it's the turn of Geonosian Soldier, and after GS it's turn of my GS that can kill Rey, and now the turn of Poe, RG and Luminara, so Luminara can cure RG and the enemy will need more hits to kill RG, and after kill RG he will need kill Poe, LOL, it is a total taunt of 27.000 health that soon will be 30.000, is a lot of health to decrease, and with the healing can be around 37.000 health points to decrease, so my 3 attackers are always protected (GS, IG-86 and Luminara).

Another video with Luminara as leader. I got the rank #1 few minutes ago, as always, now it's time to see how many positions I can lose in the rank the rest of the day, but it's easy win with this combination, it's better to attack that with Poggle and Kylo Ren, so: Royal Guard, welcome to my Arena team!!!

I'm committing some errors because it's the first day that I play with Luminara as leader, I will play better in the next battles, but also playing bad I win LOL

You can play with Poggle as leader, GS, IG-86, Poe and Kylo Ren, then GS and IG-86 have 75% more damage, and you can kill an enemy at the beginning with GS, if the taunt of RG is activated you can reduce a lot the health with IG-86 (after Poggle and Poe), it can be criticals of 12K or 14K and the assist, RG can die by IG-86, if he don't die you can use Kylo Ren and in the second round is 5 vs 3, easy to win. The only problem that I see is if he also have Poe LOL LOL LOL

I find the AI has a cow and doesn't attack full bore if you go straight for RG. The only time I go for someone else is an 88 or Dooku before because my GS can one shot either of them. But then I hammer down on RG with everything else. I run Sid Poggle GS 86 and Lumi or Poe depending on their set up.

¡New videos of today! I have improved the skills of Royal Guard from 3-3-3 to 5-3-6, now he have 80% chance to stun, in the previous videos was 65%, and also can gain more turn meter, also now it's full gear 8, with 5% more tenacity, in the following days I will improve the skills to 7-3-7.

Also today I will play better because now I know the damages without Poggle and the correct way to kill the enemies with this team.

The videos number 7, 8 and 9 are very interesting because I won the battles with full health, or almost full health, and in the last video (10), to get the rank #1, I only lost RG, it is a idea about how works Luminara in a team with Royal Guard and Poe Dameron in the same team. In the video 8 Luminara is stunned by Dooku at the beginning.

I will play more battles later and I will do more videos.

Definitely the strategy works, and works better than my previous team (Poggle, GS, IG-86, Poe & Kylo), at least in the attack, to defend the rank is the same, but maybe more teams tan usual have fought against me to check play against this team, I lost 20 positions during the night, not a lot, I will check if I lose the same positions in the next days or if the people consider that it's a hard team

Have you considered rg+ han? Han's turn manipulation gain is pretty huge, especially against characters like dooku who multi hit but deal little damage. The turn meter gain should theoretically allow your entire team to act before the enemy team before the second round of attacks start.

30% turn meter again for entire team upon taunting and 20% turn meter gain each time han gets attacked is nothing to be scoffed at.

The problem is the foresight of Rey and Yoda (Yoda in the assist of QGJ or GS), they go first than my Poe, and then when Poe uses the taunt, the foresight desappears and I can kill Rey and Yoda at the beginning. Also Poe have more health (13517 vs 11200) and more tenacity (47% vs 33%), and can expose the enemies, something very useful, and also can apply offense down. Also is important the turn meter reduction, because my Luminara can play before the Luminara enemy, and then I can cure the tanks before Luminara use the "Force blast", and also characters as QGJ (not as leader), Old Daka, Eeth Koth, Datcha, Jawa, Han or Phasma will play after Luminara thanks to the turn meter reduction of Poe, so I think that Poe is more useful.
