QGJ vs Poggle

JayBeefed

First off, thanks in advance for your help.

I currently run my (f2p) version of the meta lineup in Arena:
6* Sid (L)
4* Poe
4* Poggle
6* GS
5* Resistance Pilot

I will have a 5* QGJ in a couple of days. Does it make sense to replace poggle in the lineup for QGJ? My thinking is that the only reason I have poggle is for the round 1 buff. QGJ can also provide O-up, but it is only in round 2 (at the earliest) and is still RNG dependant.

Is the extra attacking power and assist call that QGJ provides worth losing my guaranteed o-up in round 1? With Poggle's buff and Poe's taunt, I can usually take out two opposing toons before my Poe dies, making it 4 on 3 (or even 4 on 2) more often than not. Not sure if I'm ready to lose this...

Thoughts?

Absolutely for this team. Just make sure his gear and skills are leveled

Is RP really a good character? I've heard a few good things around here about him might swap out FOTP for him

I've been running pretty much your team. QGJ instead of poggle and I have Leia instead of RP. I have not lost a battle that I've personally played in the arena since making the change.

It's pretty strong , I think you would be happy with the change . Like what was said above tho, get him geared and leveled.

JayBeefed

Depends on the star level of your FOTP. If you can get FOTP to 6* or 7* when he gets the MASSIVE hp bump, then definitely stick with FOTP. But I don't have the $$ to get him that high. My FOTP is 3* and is made of... I dunno, wet kleenex?

Meanwhile, my RP is 5* gear 7 (almost 8) and he hits like a truck with bonus turn meter and decent health. Definitely one of the strongest dps guys for f2p behind GS. When GS calls an assist and procs RP, it's bye bye for most toons.

That being said, getting him from gear 7 to gear 8 is a HUGE pain. Just to give you an idea, it requires:
20 mkVIII purple garbage can lids
20 mkIV purple laptops
50 mkIII purple remote controls
20 mkIV purple hyposprays
20 mkV purple laptops

That's 130 pieces of purple gear! Easily the biggest PITA of my characters so far. But is he worth it? I think so yeah... I can't wait to see what he does at 6* and 7*...

I have a an RP ready for promotions. Maybe I'll leveled him up and try him out. I do hear good things

JayBeefed

I love my RP, but he's a poor man's (read: f2P) attempt to join the po-po/dps meta. If I had a starred up Leia or FOTP, I would probably roll with those instead...

Tony167

I do have Both of them , so maybe I'll hold off using the credits and gear for now

If you have Poggle and QGJ on the same team....would the offense up stack? Or be redundant?

Anyone know this? I'm wondering if I should go 6* on Poggle.

I am in a similar situation. As much as team Nerf will want you to believe QGJ is totally OP I've found Poggle in certain teams is better circumstances. You'll want to experiment. I just had QGJ fail to give offense up twice in a row (about to report in bugs). Even if it does work there are situations in which Poggle will give the team offense up sooner and in a high dps match this can mean the win.

The top whale just dropped his QGJ for Poggle and his team is ruthless. Before a few days ago I was the first to have Poggle in the top 20

Redundant

Does QJC fail to give the offense up buff if his special is a finishing blow? I have had this happen to me a couple times now.

DarthSamJackson

Thank you all!

QGJ needs to be 5 or 6 stars to shine. Poggle can shine at 4 stars. I'd select Poggle in a heartbeat

I think that the only thing keeping Sid in the line-up is his leader ability to be honest
