*whistles innocently*
I chickened out. Well, actually I realized this was my last battle (already did a refresh) and decided to take a crack at someone in the top 20. And failed. Next time!
It'd go Yoda, who I rarely see crit
QGJ who may crit but will wreck in the meantime
GS who will one shot someone
Lumi
And then my Rex goes, provided no one crit. And I likely won't have enough damage output to down anyone before RG taunts and then Lumi will heal . . .
I fair much better against the droid teams which is how I'm staying afloat in the top 50 now. Before the Dooku mania I was getting top 20 and twice top 10 feeding off QGJ leads, but that was without RG.
My team is
Rex (L)
Fives
Sarge
Plo Koon
Asajj
So I have no one to blame but myself, trying to break the mold. Held onto #49 for payout today.
I got lucky with RNG here admittedly. But I'm also running a team 4 levels lower (except Jinn is 2 levels down). Mostly, it's just a matter of human vs. AI, I'm sure you could beat me easily.
IMO your weakness is Plo Koon. I know he has synergies with clones, but he's just not very good. Your lack of a taunter also makes it too easy to get rid of Rex, who anchors the team but is very squishy. Once he is gone, the team just falls down. And Koon is a Jedi, and Dooku is everywhere.
Replace Koon with RG or ST Han and you have a better team IMO.
Stun teams like yours I tend to ignore outright. Sure you are a few levels before me, but stun is a utility independent of level.
Oh, I got Clone Sarge to 7 stars this morning. Very exciting!
Probably. If Rex would of used Squad discipline for tenacity up no one would of been stunned, but then I still have to deal with Dooku dodge. Level 8 of Squad discipline gives an extra turn of tenacity up, so even more of a window to deal with these teams.
On my shard I have to face the same perfect setup ( the 4 mandatory toons being Dooku, RG, Daka, QGJ and for 5th either Leia or GS or Rey ) but this time I am talking about squads full of pre crafted gear and level 74 -75. And there is no alternative since they camp 8 out of the 10 top positions.
I think it is really sad to see the current situation and even to watch your match against Aero. As much as I believe that you as a human player should be able to outsmart the AI, I think you should have had more struggle to beat Aero and lose a couple of toons at least for 2 reasons: First he is higher level than you are and second and more importantly he has gone for a clone synergy team while your team composition has no synergy in theory but overpowers him in practice. Your composition blows up Jedi setups, Droids setups, sisters setup without troubles, I tried a level 73 team ewoks with a tank and it ends either in a draw or a lost match. I would do just like Aero and not bother fighting a team composition like yours at the moment because it is frustrating without using the same composition and it is boring when using the same composition ( I have all these toons 6-7* with G8 to experiment with ).
Who would have thought that the best synergy would be achieved by combining a sith, a jedi, a geonosian drone, a sister and an empire no name. It feels to me that there is less diversity now than before the update despite what most people are saying.
****, I am writing down here and between the time I started the post and the time I finished I went from rank 2 down to rank 18... No rest for Jedis in front of the current armada of Dookus
may the force be with you.
Kudos to Qeltar still for a great match. With any luck, Commander Cody or Wolffe out ARC Trooper will will be a taunter.
Before the update I was running a QGJ, Daka, Lumi, Yoda, Ahsoka team. I don't like doing the same thing for too long so I decided to start a Ewok squad from scratch for this new update. So to speak I spent quite some time and when I saw the WWF event I felt like Santa filled up my socks with goodies.
But despite all this I feel like the update had poor testing and left slow Ewoks a bit in the dark in terms of competitivity ( not asking them to be deadly, just slightly more competitive so they arena does not end up in a draw after 5min due to low damage ). Teebo leader is still broken. Chirpa is tough to gear up and has one of the lowest HP, also his abilities need revisiting for finer tuning and fixing. Elder is by far my favorite and requires so much patience to assemble but it keeps me entertained. Scout is very tactical to play actually with making a choice between eating an enemy turn meter or downing an enemy. Ewoks are great fun in GW combined with RG or Han and most importantly a lot of fun in twisting the enemy turn meter or recovering the first avalanche of damage. Since the update and considering my team is not yet maxed up I can reach battle 8-9 before they are put down by an elite squad. From then I have 4 matches to deal with using my Jedi team, sister team and Phasma Glass cannon team. But in Arena, I don't think my Ewoks stand a chance with the amount of squads similar to Qeltar's at the moment. Either I get stun locked or I hit the timer. My perception of stun squad ( Dooku + Daka + RG ) is that it is the ultimate turn meter control: burns 100%+ turn meter and avoid damage, can't beat that with team Ewoks right now.
I share your view on Ventress, actually my first 7* from arena, picked her first over Sidious.
Yea Qeltar kept 100% control of his match, I found it sad that there was not much resilience to his victory but was a great game
I've changed this to a general thread for our shard. Tag anyone else you know from the shard.
With that, I'm sad to see that RedPanda has now joined the ranks of Dooku leads. I'm now the only clone squad
Shard of the Jedi?
Shard of the Sith?
Shard of Republic?
or maybe something more fun? I don't know. I'm not very creative in naming things. I'm interested to see what we can come up with.
I'm US Central
To be completely honest once again, I believe your Ewoks can deal with Dooku leads much better than my clones. I kind of rely on you to get up there so I can piggy back my way in.
I need an RG like yours.
I think han might benefit for your team better. With the tm manipulation, your team would wreck dooku leads. Rg is great protection, but if you have no way to stun their dispellers, or take away their entire tm, like my teebo or scout (to some extent), he's a liability with an opposing qui-gon.
