Why the Chewie Bug Should’ve Been Left Alone
I almost did it. I almost defeated the undefeatable meta(s?) with CLS rebels due to a few-day Chewie bug that had him throwing in an extra assist on Han Shot First and other attacks.
I actually would’ve probably gotten #1 the next day but forgot about daylight savings, otherwise right now you’d be reading an epic poem that makes Beowulf look like Dr Seuss.
Here are some reasons the bug should not have been corrected:
1. It’s the equivalent of giving Han Solo his second zeta, which by all accounts he should have, based on all other characters who have two zetas, including Chewbacca.
2. It gives Rebels a chance against the meta, though it doesn’t make them the new meta. Basically, in many of these DR/Malak team fights, you have to realize Han Shot First might be the only move you get to make all battle, which is sad and ridiculous but that’s another story. The bug allowed you to four-shot any Fallen Bastila right from the start, eliminating what I consider your greatest threat in these battles. Any time she gets off her meditation in these fights it’s basically over for you. But if Fallen Bastila was Relic 4 at least (this is with relic 6 Han and Chewie by the way) you wouldn’t be able to take her out and you’d basically immediately lose the battle.
3. CLS Rebels are hard to come by, are made up of strong classic characters and deserve to be in the mix in the top 50.
4. As far as other raids etc., most people who have Relic’d CLS Rebels are already in guilds with your basic heroic raids all on farm, and if it gives a little boost when fighting in the new Geo TB to come so what? All it will do is give you 4/4 on one combat mission each phase.
5. You still can’t beat Relic 7 Grievous and many other squads, and it doesn’t make you better on defense because Rebels are known to be bad at D and better as offense.
Sometimes mistakes give us ideas that make our creations better. This should be the case with the Chewie bug and help even out the playing field slightly for all us true Rebels out there. Please consider reversing it.

CLS should've died a long time ago tbh
who said they are all getting relic abilities and that they will come at R7?
My SE team will body that
This is the main point I wanted to make and I think it’s a good one. Then again, who is the real Leia in this game and what Zetas does she have?
That's gonna have to be one creative bug sir
Simple, they accidentally place GAS' kit in IG-86s player model.
Some of us who joined the game later had to take leaps and skip over certain grinds like JKR, DR and Malak. We had to stick to whats best for the guild and new content - a concentrated roster - if we wanted to be in top guilds. I was one of the lowest GP in my guild but the first with 7 star falcon, which led me to dominating Fleet arena and getting daily crystals I needed there. All DR and company do is give you a few more shards from squad arena. They aren’t necessary for your guilds expansion which is what it should be all about. It will always be a good idea to have a strong Falcon in this game, so the motivation toward rebels came from there.
My way was Bounty Hunter mains (what first caught my interest in the game in general) leading to chewbacca and Falcon, leading to Rebels that at least keep you competitive in squad and give you a top tier offensive weapon that can take out any JKR Revan team in TW and much more.
I recommend this shortcut to grinding and getting in an elite guild highly and to not listen to these nerdy sheep who just go along with the herd. It’s ridiculous that Malak and co. have been meta for the better part of the year. It should change at least once a year. Although it can be argued Grievous Relic 7 is pretty meta.
In the end DR and all the KOTOR folks will be like a passing spaceship at dawn, floating onward through the nether while classic stalwarts like Han and Chewie remain relevant and necessary no matter what the game decides to put out there (Jedi Luke?)
IG86 at the top of the leaderboard... the good old days
You act like C3P0 wasn’t just coming out at the same time as JKR and all this KOTOR crap. In fact, when many like myself were grinding CLS Rebels we saw them as the killer of what was then the JKR meta. If DR didn’t come out with the OP Malak making them twice as strong as the JKR teams, we would’ve been the smart ones for having a meta killer.
7* your IG-86 and they might think about it.
I see you.
You're entitled to your opinion but you forget that we (as players) are all more or less in the same boat. It's all about making decisions, but the key is to adhere to them, make the best of them and move on, instead of complaining because something we would like to be meta doesn't become meta (again) . I also had more interest in ships from the beginning, but that was long before the Falcon came into the game. I geared up pilot characters and used them in squad arena, too. Therefore I ignored CLS at that time, as well as the next metas after him. That way of playing didn't get me high ranks in squad arena, but therefore in fleet arena and that was okay. Good thing for me is that my guild never tried to be a "top guild", we just became stronger over time with everyone doing their best but keeping the fun. However, only when JKR was announced to come to the game, things changed for me - with Old Republic, finally my favourite SW era came into the game, and it was so totally worth to start farming the characters from the first day! It was the first meta which I was able to get before it's meta time would have been over again, then the higher crystal income helped me to keep up better than ever before. You see, tastes are different and things can always change.
C3p0 was clearly meant for ewok squads
It is unfortunate that some players got to experience this bug and felt it was good for the game, but Chewbacca's ability description clearly states that he will only assist each character once per turn. Now we can safely go back to defeating every single squad in the game if we are modded correctly. Thank you CG for fixing the bug.
Hence why they never tested him with zFinn lead...
I didn't mean mirror matches. I meant CLS vs Darth Revan team. Not everyone 5M+ is in top 50 fighting full relics DR teams.
Actually I know a guy with a relic 86 that uses him with GG nuke to take 1st.
Wasn't really necessary. There's a guy in my shard that took first all through the relic SE META using CLS.
CLS, JTR, and both Revans should always have a place in arena due to the difficult nature of the hero's journey's. There needs to be powercreep with new characters for sure, but the level of difficulty to attain said character should be first priority.
Like GAS should be the best character in the game followed by Malak. Then it should be DR, JKR, JTR, CLS, After that we should have WAT, IPD and ROLO. Then we should have Traya, GK, Han, followed by Wampa and HY, then onto the regular legendaries.
DR should be bettter than JKR who should be better than JTR, but CLS should be better than Shaak TI or ****.
