Does lando have to be specifically paired with other toons to be good? Is he splashable on any team? What is it in particular that earns him all this praise? I look at his kit and it seems like he's mostly RNG based and I don't get it Hahahah any input helps, just trying to determine whether or not to start up his farm

    Put him with Phasma lead and Leia and watch his AOE decimate. He made the Empire event an utter walk for me. Best AOE in the game damage wise, by a good bit.

    Lando is great. I got him to G10 and omega'd his aoe and have been hitting for over 10k with O up. Using him in my rebel build with AA lead. Tactical genius into Lando AOE is deadly!

    His aoe is awesome. Even at lower levels you can see his potential. Use supports like Poggle and phasma to buff and pair him with Ackbar he really goes to town.

    +1
    AA Tactical Genius gets him AOE twice in a row /when played well/,after which the enemy´s protection is no more + some health is demolished as well.

    What's the difference in grinding him on the lower or higher lvl in Cantina? Is there better chance of rewards? Seems you would get more shards on lower

    I don't have Lando fully levelled yet, but he may be my favorite character right now. He has a pretty decent basic as well. And if you have a way to give him advantage, he can just keep rolling his AoE. Is he somewhat RNG dependent? In some builds, yes. But he has a high crit rate anyway.

    I didn't record any numbers, but I found the drop rate for shards to be better at the 12 energy level than the 8. Could just be RNG.

    Higher Cantina nodes are always better anyways. Shame I need to farm Jawa on an 8 node now.

    The drops for character shards have the same probability, which means you get shards faster if you farm the 8 energy nodes.
    However, the 12 energy nodes net more credits and cantina tokens, which is very helpful. They also net more purple ability mats.

    I farm higher energy nodes when they are available, because credits and cantina tokens are much needed.

    So if leveling faster is the only concern then 8 node is better?

    No, they do not. Everything except shards has higher drop rates in the higher energy nodes.

    EDIT: agreed on the last sentence though.

    By leveling, I'm going to assume you mean bringing toons to 7*, in which case it's correct. If you're looking for shards, 8 nodes are better.

    If you literally meant leveling as gaining player levels, both nodes give the same amount of xp/energy point spent, so there's no difference.

    The deal is:

    - 8 nodes: More character shards
    - 12 nodes: More credits, cantina tokens and purple ability mats.

    People usually favor the 12/16 nodes since those bring you very valuable resources: Credits and cantina tokens, which can buy many powerful characters.

    You're right actually, MK3 drop more from higher nodes.
    I was confused because I'm pretty sure a dev said the contrary. I'll edit my post.

    [No, no, please no. For the 99% majority of players the only ability materials that matter are the purples (omega are locked away anyway) and for this 99% majority that statement is NOT true.]

    EDIT: this is not the post you're looking for, please move on folks :)

    Lando is a monster when you put him with AA lead and leia for Crit chance up...i land probably 4 out of 5 crits first time and with AA's Tac Gen, he goes right again with double the hitting power and same amount of Crits...which means by the time he comes back around again you've got your third wave to knock out most of the left over toons...awesome synergy! Just make sure you pair him with a taunting tank, otherwise he'll be gone by end of first round!

    Agreed.
    U need a tank to play alongside lando. Han would fit there.

    Farming him on lower levels gives you more chances to get a character, than on higher levels.
    For eksample, if lowes tier 8 energy and a higher for, say 12 energy, then you for 24 energy get a chance at two shards at 12 energy, but 3 chances at 8 energy

    anybody have both wedge and lando? I have wedge and he is pretty good at raids bc of the automatic debuff on basic that helps him hit harder next turn. for the empire event, wedge's leader ability w/ offense and heal on kill was great.

    not sure how the aoe's compare of course except that lando's can repeat if he crits.

    My Lando is currently 6* with about 22/100 to go for 7*. I only farm him from the 8 energy Cantina node and I've been grinding every day for about a month and a half/ two months. Before that I only farmed GS and that took me about three or so months to go from like 2 or 3* to 7*.

    EDIT: From what I can see he just sucks in defense and can be taken down very easily, especially if you target him first. Does this change with higher level gear? Or is he generally a weak defensive character?

    Put him with Phasma lead and Leia and watch his AOE decimate. He made the Empire event an utter walk for me. Best AOE in the game damage wise, by a good bit.

    So his aoe reads 2+ crits=75% more damage on the next turn. Does that carry over to the next node in the empire event?

    Do you guys know if the same holds true for Hard nodes in LS/DS missions?

    That is the higher the node, the more likely to get a purple gear drop, but shards are the same regardless?

    Shhhhh! Stop talking about Lando. Go farm another toon. This is not the toon you are looking for.

    He's fun to use. Terrible on defense due to ai though. Taunt makes ai use basic attack

    Lando is amazing. Relatively easy to get to G11, crits for 7-8k+ on basic and 9-10k+ on second AoE (with no crit dmg buffs from leader as I always use old Ben, Akbar, or Phasma)

    30k health& protection combined so he is relatively sturdy and has his own crit up buff once he crits.

    Rarely does he AoE and not crit twice, and paired with AA and Phasma he can easily decimate an opponents squad singlehanded.

    dodge is the only thing that can really keep him from rolling the AoE's

    Yes, it does carry over in all game modes. And Omega hits for +100%.
