Mod help (Speed mods in arena)
Hi everyone first time poster but long time follower of the forums and game, I was wondering what people do when they can't get those in demand secondary mods 30+ speed.
I've had multiple refreshes on both cantina and shipments and yet to come across one despite having multiple mods at least a thousand at a guess.
I was not concerned but now on my server all the top 10 arena teams are max speed mod and I always go last which as you guess with all the empire or area of effect teams it usually doesn't end well, I was thinking of trying to complete the speed mod challenges so I don't have to rely on getting lucky with secondary stats, any suggestions?

Does speed have to be top of the list for it to end up a high number? What if you start upgrading a mod with no speed initially, and then it does get added? Is it worth just trying your luck?
That's my issue coming across those secondary speed bonuses, was curious if people have luck in the arena without good mods for speed, my arena server suggests it difficult to do without, I've even tried looking for the mods in shipments but no luck as of yet.
No, it doesn't have to be at the top of the list. If you upgrade a mod with no speed initially, it has a chance to get speed, but won't be as high as if you started with speed and it got upgraded.
If you start with a quality A mod that has speed listed as a secondary, you have four chances (levels 3, 6, 9, 12) to gain more speed. You can't control which secondary gets upgraded unfortunately, it can add to any of the four secondaries, but you get four chances to get more speed.
If you start with say a quality D (green) mod with speed as the only secondary, when you level that mod, it will gain more speed at level 3, then at 6, 9, and 12 it will add another secondary. So a green with secondary speed will gain more speed once.
If you start with a quality C (blue) mod with speed as one of its two starting secondaries, it will have a 50/50 shot of gaining more speed at levels 3 and 6, then will add more secondaries at 9 and 12. So you will have a chance to add to speed secondary twice.
Same thing with quality B (purple), it starts with three secondaries and has a chance to add to them at 3, 6, and 9. At 12 it will add a fourth secondary. So you will have 3 chances to add more speed.
That was my issue, I can tolerate the whole pay to win or strategy but when it feels like a lottery it can be a little frustrating, but besides that I love the game, hopefully they find some middle ground.
Me too.
Unless that mod is what color markus?
Never felt closer to quitting since starting the game on day one and spending thousands.
Good luck to these lads who have insane speed mod meta teams. These lads have 30 mods the likes of which I've never seen drop once.
Arena is now a hopeless exercise. I spend hours juggling round the mods I have trying to come up with a combination that might just have a chance but it just means I've wasted my evening.
Who goes first wins, the other stats are utterly irrelevant.
your opponents bought the mods in the shipments since farming 80% of the time its a grey mod that drops.
whale more and buy mods with vaults. there is a reason its a fixed 15 crystal refresh
Luck.
