Wouldn't it make more sense to have this event next month? Is it something that will come back?
Is it broken?
Cantankerous Clanker

First Time Completion, Tier 1: None
Repeat Play: Chopper shard x1
First Time Completion, Tier 2: Ability materials
Repeat Play: 1000 Credits
First Time Completion, Tier 3: 1 Omega Material
Repeat Play: 1000 Credits
I was hoping for more shards on T2&T3... after seeing the above, they may as well not even have T2&T3. By the time you get to T3, the event will be over, or just about, anyways. In any case, I'm not hard up for omegas, and don't care enough to do the math to see how many you can possibly get.
One.
It says right in the description you get one for first time completion, 1000 credits on repeat.
Wait, so no shards after unlocking T2?
Yes taken directly from the events thread
15% protection up
Recover 15% max health
+25% crit chance
+25% crit damage
+10% offense (with chance to stack to +40% offense)
Recover 15% protection
70% counter chance
Recover 25% max health when suffering from debuff
What is that? Like every great unique ability combined?
Let them come, I'm sure I can take them
i don't see many in my shard spending; dn at 4* max. g11 sure enough but not more stars. only 2 have chaze (both) at 7*; no newer toons. its too much too soon. wallets are dried up. anyways the abilities look insane when its a full squad.
Lets balance the game!..... NO Lets make it more unbalanced.
I hope speed and health of these toons are really low or this wont be making happy the community
Oh wait, lemme check my crystal ball...
New update
And my cristal ball says: look at this topic -> https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/98150/phoenix-squadron-abilities
Who counters and gain protection when debuffed.
Also he is a tank .... baze is a tank and has less speed than him.
And also if you want him faster.... youve got a ton of mods to give him speed
And to make it even stronger he gets:
All that from uniques sharing thanks to hera.
In the paper this seems to be incredibly op and insane...lets hope it isnt ...because seriously... what were devs thinking???
We started with toons good in some aspects ... lumi ...health
RG...tank
Etc
Then we have chars doing multiple tasks
Chirrut...baze blah
Now we have toons that do a lot? XD and now share those???
As would 3pO say: "Oh my"
Derp
Sorry I don't live here.
And I'd say chopper.
Next we get Jar Jar who accidentally destroys the republic = kills the whole enemy team.
But Baze auto taunts. This is why his speed is unimportant.
