    Yay for you. I'm a scrub that has been concentrating on gearing his A team, and thus has a very powerful team that's killer in arena, but toast in gw once healers go down. I don't have the money to build a bench fast. I need Daka, then I might try hard again.

    I was in no way trying to be a ****, I was simply surprised at the fact that he spends over and hour and a half in GW. Also, just because the GW team is good, doesn't mean my arena team has to suck

    My team is great in arena 24,500 power, ranks in the top 100
    But its bad for GW

    7* Sid
    6* Kylo
    6* JC
    5* Lumi
    6* HK

    Thats my A team. I I have a 5* Phasma that alternates in.

    If I had realized I needed a specific loadout to finish gw I would have built fromm the start

    I actually like the more challenging GW. While my main team is almost 70, I sometimes need to use my other teams which are 60 or lower to soften up high power teams like 7* lvl 70 QGJ Leia FOTP. Surprisingly 50% of the time my team of 60s will win and only lose 2 members.

    I was definitely lucky today.

    I have been noticing that the difficulty has changed in the last few days. I could cruise through to battle 7-8 with only a few retreats. Then put a little effort into the last few rounds. Now 7-8 are my last few rounds.

    If I put in real effort, resetting and suicide squads, I can make it to 10 most days. But thats my limit

    Looking at that team, in my experience with GW it would be able to beat it. With Sid, Luminara, JC, GS, and Resistance Pilot I can complete the GW without losing any characters. I would hate to be in your position

    I think the GW should be extended from 12 to 50 fights, I hope to see this idea included in the next release.

    50 fights would make it almost impossible to complete it, especially if the opponents get harder. I think 20 seems more reasonable

    He was joking. I hope. 12 is quite enough.

    Perhaps they could even introduce a last battle after 12 that is sort of an "all or nothing" battle

    Everyday I've come here I read about how people can't beat Galactic Warfare, whereas I haven't had any issues for a long time. I've beaten it 42 times so far and over 30 times in row right now. So I decided to record my progress today in an attempt to help those that are having problems. I was expecting things to go pretty normal, but it ended up being a perfect run. I will admit that some of the teams between battle 7 and 12 seemed a bit weaker than average, but I often get teams 3 levels higher than me and still have no issues beating them. My kill strategy is always the same. Use Sidious to apply healing debuff focus fire, heal when necessary, and use taunt to save people when heals are on cooldown or I'm heal debuffed. So here goes.

    My Primary Team

    8EwtizN.png
    Battle 1: Kill order Jedi Consular, Luminara, Jawa, Chewbacca, Captain Phasma

    Bd8IIrw.png
    Battle 2: Kill order Anakin, Jedi Consular, Chewbacca, Savage Opress, Boba Fett

    x3bzBEF.png
    Battle 3: Kill order Resistance Pilot, Sidious, Dooku, IG-86, Aayla

    c7FEjaw.png
    Battle 4: KIll order Poggle the Lesser, Jedi Consular, Jawa, Chewbacca, Jedi Knight Guardian

    GNqQKZE.png
    At this point I was able to level up Luminara to 67 and upgrade Chewbacca to Tier 8

    HnHAnYo.png
    Battle 5: Kill order Genosian Soldier, Jedi Consular, Luminara, Chewbacca, Talia

    31Cf21i.png
    Battle 6: Kill order Asajj, HK-47, Ahsoka, Luminara, Captain Phasma

    ASRNAl9.png
    Battle 7: Kill order Sidious, Dooku, Jedi Consular, Luminara, Chewbacca

    ZCK5OwW.png
    Battle 8: Kill order Luke, Sidious, Jedi Consular, Luminara, Savage Opress

    DlOW8Bo.png
    Battle 9: Kill order Biggs, Sidious, Luminara, Bariss, Boba Fett

    He3ybyf.png
    Battle 10: Kill order Sidious, Jedi Consular, Bariss, Ima-Gun Di, Obi-Wan Kenobi

    3s8qKDm.png
    At this point I was able to level up Captain Phasma to 67

    TpIXfQo.png
    Battle 11: Kill order Asajj, HK-47, Jedi Consular, Bariss, Captain Phasma

    huARzTX.png
    Battle 12: Kill order Old Daka, Sidious, Dooku, Savage Opress, Jedi Consular

    The Final Blow

    Everyone is still alive. No deaths. No Retreats. No Substitutions.

    Galactic Warfare cleared for the 30 something time in a row

    LXp1g2S.png
    My current Arena ranking I'm really not all that good

    My Galactic Warfare wins

    Honestly today was easier than most, generally I can take my primary team to around Battle 9 or 10 before I have to start making substitutions or send in pawns to absorb the special abilities. Normally I would try to take my primary team to Battle 10 and then send in pawns first then send in my D Team, then my C Team, then my B team at which point I'm on Battle 12 and my opponent only has a few characters left then I just send in my primary team to clean up.

    I have 22 characters level 60 and up, all 4 star or higher, and Tier 6 or better. Then I have 7 level 50s, 13 level 40s, and 2 level 26s. Every character under level 60 is a pawn to me to absorb specials and hopefully take an enemy or 2 with them. I will always retreat if I lose one of my primary team members and I will often try a new kill order or even try using different attack abilities before making substitutions or sending in pawns. The reason being is the AI will change it's target and it's attacks based on your target and attacks. For example if they are focusing Jedi Consular and he's dying over and over I will simply change my kill order and possibly my attack ability and the AI will change to a different target and use different abilities than they were normally using.

    This was my first perfect run, the closest I have come to a perfect run before was Battle 11 but I played it safe and brought in secondary teams to weaken the last opponents down before cleaning up with my primary team. I didn't start winning Galactic Warfare consistently until I had 2 or 3 full level 60 teams. I hope this was of some help to someone here.

    My B Team: Boba Fett, IG-86, Biggs, Greedo, Grand Moff Tarkin

    My C Team: Count Dooku, Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, Asajj Ventress, Old Daka

    My D Team: Jedi Knight Anakin, Talia, Jawa, Ahsoka Tano, Luke Skywalker

    All are level 60 or higher. Questions are welcome

    I would kill to get the draws you got.

    I believe GW was meant to utilize your entire bench. EA/CG designed it to be difficult so that you needed more than 5 heroes to complete. You shouldn't expect to be able to complete it with just 5.

    As a F2P I have not been able to build a competitive second team. Everything goes into keeping my best at max.

    I think it would be cool if the added 10 levels to the opposing teams.. So like a team of 70s would play like they were 80, so you know, people would not get bored and just rip through it.

    If I see a group with Sid..I just take a bio break...since I know the results.

    That's a good idea, I think they should also double the cooldown on heals in GW, healing is OP.

    Yeah they were pretty favorable today, hence the perfect run.

    I guess they should put up a disclaimer like The Darkest Dungeon for GW. Do not expect it to be easy to complete with just a small roster. Make the most of a bad situation.

    Almost every group has Sidious.

    I do gw daily with one team bariss, kylo, lumi, rey, and dooku. Prior to rey I used assaj. I reset a fight 3 or 4 times. I use a throw away team once or twice. My friend who started 3 weeks ago or so and is 52 has also never had and issue. Hes free to play. I just dont get where these problems are coming from. Are you refusing to go on unless your people are full? I move on with people around half hp all the time and do fine.

    What you don't know is that my Ugnaught can beat 7* teams with FOTP and QGJ by his lonesome.
    Underdogs Unite!

    For the record, I don't actually have a 7* Ugnaught, I'm not as mentally unstable as it may seem

    I like it. It adds another challenging aspect to the game. It's the only other thing that allows you to create different team combinations and use some of the lesser-used characters that otherwise would sit on the bench.

    Arena has been basically the same 5 characters for me a month, and for me, that gets old.

    I will admit that GW can be frustrating at times, and isn't perfect (far from it), but if it was completely simple I don't think that would be any fun either.
