Galactic war is Highway robbery!
I just hit lv 56 tonight and the update to the GW is crippling. I've cleared it every day for the last 5 days (with hours of retreats) and have been satisfied because it keeps my credit flow reasonable enough to play the game. But I logged on tonight and at battle 7 the entire enemy team was 57. I said ok you got this but you have to expend alot of cool downs to make it though the whole war. Battle 8 the enemy team was lv 58-59. I told myself this will be the last hard one for a few battles so give it everything you got. What happens next? Battle 9 is an enemy team of lv 59s and 60s. I would have to have 4 full teams of maxed out 56 heros at 6 stars to beat that 3 team gauntlet. And I still have 3 more fights to go? And the icing on the cake is the credit rewards dropped at least 40%. It should be noted that I have spent about 100 dollars on the game I have sidious maul dooku phasma and a slew of other heros decently equipped promoted and lved. But GW is my primarily source of credits I'd have to get the 500k credit pack every 3 days to maintain my growth pace. If this isn't fixed I'm going back to brave frontier.

Are you looking for advice on how to progress in GW or Are you venting that Credits go down 40%?
I see your anger at GW, but I guess if you're doing it for credits, it can be frustrating
What is your question?
@Defileable, are you saying credit rewards have been lowered in GW?
I don't 7 star and I don't care 6 stars. I gain more and gear them. I don't win Arena because I win #200 to #500. I reward 400-600 Arena Points. Is good for me.
I win all GW because I have good bench players (is correct?). I put 4 different squads and have mix when I match.
I need credits too, but I don't buy. I slowly gain heroes and only get to 4 or 5 stars. But I spend a lot of time Gearing. I see gear as much strength than star.
I my mathematica group, we list the stat rise of 4 to 5 stars. Good! 5 to 6 stars, OK! 6 to 7 stars, not worth 1 million (or T in Italy).
The number of drops you get on each node can vary. Sometimes I get a level 3 ability mat on shard 10, sometimes I don't. It is all due to rng.
If you didn't finish GW, you will naturally get less rewards. The best drops come on the last few nodes. Battles 10, 11, and 12 make up about 1/3 of the credits you get for completion.
Lots of good advice here on the forum on how to complete GW. I use suicide squads on the harder nodes to get the enemies to burn off specials, then send in my a team for cleanup.
Credits are a limiting factor and you have to be careful not to spread yourself too thin by leveling too many characters.
This is not true and is pure confirmation bias. We don't know anything about the GW matchmaking system. The Devs have never detailed how it works.
It's not meant to be cleared daily. It's supposed to be tough and mostly cleared by those who have a strong roster of more than two teams of fully geared leveled characters. Your level was low and that's why you got squishy teams previously. Now that you are approaching 60s and 70s, you are getting fully geared teams. The last stages will comprise of teams that are stronger than yours and usually 1-2 stars ahead. That means you will expect to fight 7 star teams if your characters are mostly 6 stars.
haha, or you are getting much stronger and more strategic. I think so!
It's not supposed to be fair. Ever fought a boss battle? Bosses are totally unfair. That's the point. Makes you feel all the better once you beat them.
My God... This is utterly ridiculous. Go play Duck Hunt if this game is too much of a challenge for you. Then you can go flame the Nintendo forums because the dog is laughing at you and you can't shoot it. Please go do this.
Same thing for me. Im not sure if arena rankings have an effect on GW opponents though. I restarted and played gw when i was around 200ish in the arena. Im lvl 55 having a team of 6*sid 6*lumi 5*phasma(lead) 4*jc 1*fotp/4*poe. I interchange poe and fotp at times. The weird thing is the highest level i faced were 53s. And my first 4 or 5 battles were lvl 39s to 49s. It was weird. The other day, i had an opponent lvl 56 but has a team of all lvl1 heroes. 1 sid special attack and theyre done.
My Primary team is
7* Captain Phasma (Leader)
6* Chewbacca
6* Luminara
5* Darth Sidious
4* Jedi Consular
All are Tier 7 geared with abilites of 4 or better, Jedi Consular is Tier 8 geared. I am level 64 just today.
Barriss as leader, the rest of top line, for the first 4 positions
The bottom line is my 5th position on my team, usually I use fives, I now got 36 completions
Barriss is A Key. Not the ONLY key.
You seem to not know how to play.
Use a Dispel hero to get rid of Chewybakka. Use heals when they count. Use JC, Lumi with good strategy. Use cool down. Use Retreat (this takes longer, but good win= good prize). You seem to be impatient or just don't want to win.
Barriss is a key. Not an excuse.
Many Many Many good heroes to win Galatic War. If you don't do a retreat or any option given to you by heavens, it's like not wanting to your cell phone for GPS even if it is an option to you. Do not waste.

Tell it brother!
Dooku is great.
But gear him up and level him to 70. Get him to 6 or 7 stars by doing Cantina 6 all the time.
Godhood is just within your reach.
Race, Race, Race!!
i've spent 3-4$ for this game (dooku pack), my rank in arena is usually 25-60 and i finish GW every day without any problem. Sometimes i don't even need to change any of my heroes to finish it.
2-3 days ago i had to sacrifice my phasma, after many many tries with different combinations of heroes to win against a team (all purple and lvl 63 5*/7* stars) with: sid, fotp, leia, rey, luminara. It was on the 9th node.
fotp critting 7-9k x2, rey critting 6k, leia critting 4k x3, sid preventing my heals and luminara healing them. A nightmare. i spent around 15-20 minutes to pass that single node.
some days ago i found a level 60 team at second node, when the previous one was lvl 50-51 and the next one was 53-54.
probably you don't know who to target first, or maybe you can't manage properly your heals and skills or maybe you just use wrong heroes.
The other day I drew a team of lvl 66 and was like **** is this? I could not touch them period, tried a suicide squad and all I got were dodges, tried my a team, all dodges. So I never fj is he'd thatctabke, but the next day I came and on the final node I had to pull out the suicide squad to absorb skills and possibly take out one of there guys.
GW is a crap shoot really until they do better with the match making.
Today I faced a team in battle 7 that was far lower level than me (around the mid 50s while I am 63/64) but it had Poe and Leia and I found it quite frustrating because it seemed every possible top result the AI could get it did. I sacrificed a bunch of super low level characters there just to get rid of the proc rate special garbage and then cleaned up with my good crew.
A bit later I faced another team that was difficult that also got the wonderful benefit of great proc results. Got by them though using some mid level characters first and completed the GW to keep the streak alive since the change. Today was not an enjoyable GW. I don't mind a challenge but today felt more like AI cheese.
Interesting about the credits being reduced.
Here is your problem... you said your heroes decently equipped and promoted. Anyway where is the healer? Are you going to expect to completed GW without healer? Go unlocked Lumi and use your JC. Also use Cheww as your tank, he is so useful for GW.
One more thing, don't let those Level scare you. Even they are lv60 if they not 6-7Stars and purple gears they are not a threat to you.
