Who says synergy doesn't matter??...

RJ__Brando

I just took 2nd place today (from thirty) using this squad:

Chief Chirpa (L)
Teebo
Ewok Elder
Ewok Scout
Daka

They also defended, successfully, in the last 10 min before payout.

Love the Ewok team, have you tried them with Leia for dps?

To your question, the people who say that are the ones who don't try and use Q as their leader.

Ewoks are the only faction with any noticeable synergy at the moment.

CG_AaronNemoyten has said here
https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/17890/should-synergy-faction-bonuses-mean-more-dev-response-yes#latest
that they would like to support more synergies, and will be doing so through the introduction of new heroes with leader/unique abilities which directly assist the cohesiveness of each faction.

not bad, but the ai played that like a chump. Got a little lucky with dodging Rey off the bat and keeping her stunned for a while

Congrats. This team should be called the Undead Team. I hate to have to kill the same toon again after being revived.

And bear in mind, Chirpa is not even 7 stars yet here.

Encountered my first ewok team today, using aoe and stun helped greatly on those little stealth buggers.

I would say it doesn't matter as much as it should. Especially qgj on cap raise giving speed boost to any garbage team you want to throw together. I would like to see heroes like the tuskens gain synergy with maybe Jawa until the tuskens can field their own team. Same for other factions that don't have enough for a synergistic team.

There are a lot more synergies than races in the game. Synergy is putting a team together that makes everyone within it better. Examples being, Leia makes Rey better
Poggle makes droids better
Sid makes 88 better

No synergy
Q leading anyone aside from Jedi
VS leading non Nightsisters
86 with non droid characters

This is how all SWGoH battles should be, we shouldn't have battles where the characters will be eliminated in one turn, kudos to you. I also realize that we will probably see proper matches when the endgame is released.

With scouts 5% dodge for each living ewok ally (including himself), this happens a lot more often than not

Grats on 2nd! Ewok hugs are deadly!

I had the exact same thought at about the 3 minute mark. It felt unusual for a battle to go on that long .

Droids and Jedi have decent synergies too. The only thing stopping pure jedi teams from existing are the fact their counter heroes are extremely common and good all-around (sidious, dooku, not so much maul and cad bane) and the fact they lack aoe control or burst damage favoured in this meta. Meanwhile droid counters (eeth, plo koon) are trash against anything that's not droids.

Also, there are no ewok counters, apparently. Or for other factions. Only jedi seem to be easily countered by everyone and their monkey.

There are also semi-viable resistance, nightsister, rebel and first order comps (generally not very effective in arena).
I'm glad they plan to add more synergies. Thematic squads are way more fun. I don't believe it should be added exclusively through leader abilities, i think it should involve other abilities (like first order does now, and to a lesser extent, droids/ resistance)

Baldo

No doesnt matter

Haha thank you. It's impressive how much these furry dudes control the flow of the game

Lol the average length of battle is around 3 minutes, if not longer.

younglukesky

This make me so happy. I liked how daka worked with that squad, anyone think there is anyone better to run with an all ewok squad? is chirpa the obvious leader?

Puke_Piestalker

+1 awesome team thumbs up

Olle

I really want to see a ewok team with Han. So much turn meter gain.

@RJ__Brando

Once lvl 80 ability 8

Nute leader with all 4 ewoks. Nute grants crazy crit% to stealth allies. Teebo grants stealth to himself then 30% of other ewoks with his special.

....plus nute is really fast

Guess it's time to start farming him for this and scoundrel challenge

Timitock

Wicket please, for full 5 Ewok team

Don't worry. ..he's being secretly farmed already!

4 stealthed ewoks + old Ben more powerful than you can possibly imagine

Haha that's just evil. ...but I like the way you think!

Sikho

Holy, that's awesome. I'd have started working on an Ewok squad if they weren't that hard to farm.

MirthYaywalker

Doesn't need to be all ewoks.... Nute, Leia, Dathca, Teebo/acolyte with Old Ben gives a good mix of damage, AOE and stealth-taunting to OB

You read my thoughts

For example, Ewok Elder 60% chance to gain 50% turn meter sounds like 60% chance to gain 80% turn meter. Grant all Ewoks 25% turn meter and Nute 10% TM. Sick!

Phipps

Plus with Nute as leader in addition to stealth getting 55% crit chance they get 25% turn meter on a crit.
So basically the team is invisible, Lightning fast, and crits all day.

Nute leader
Scout
Teebo
Chirpa
Leia

Or...EE for Leia.

Never thought I would say I was excited to farm Nute

And It will be 30% turn meter gain on crit at level 80. Leia will have 50% chance to have 10% turn meter for each hit. When she hits 3 times, can have 120% turn meter gain... with good RNG, she can kill the entire enemy crew in one turn
