I would love to try Krennic in arena.

Sadly he is still behind a paywall and didn't get a pack like the rest of the empire toons. What gives? Is he too OP to let us use or even pay money for?

    What paywall? he's been in shard shop, got many of him. Also hard node, 10 shard per week not bad.

    Agreed. People are always quick to complain when the grind is more than a month for anything in this game.

    Well you know how you can get like 30 Jyn shards a week for nothing and you can Max K-2 in like 2 week if you want. Why can't Krennic get something half that nice.

    Why can I buy 80 Tarkin, veers and any trooper shards for 20 bucks but Krennic I need to wait months just to get him anywhere. Even with crystal farming it would still take forever. And it would be a stupid waste of so many crystals.

    News for you, it's because a month from now we are going to have Ahsoka a new fan favorite and even more power creep that will further devalue him.

    So farm Ahsoka? If you want to be competitive, farm the meta. If you want to play with characters you enjoy, farm your favorites. It's not a difficult decision.

    Here is a perfect compromise let's switch Chirrut and Rex to hard nodes and put Krennic in their spots in fleet and guild shipment. That would help us shift from this triple cleanse meta.

    Why change the meta to fit your needs? Now you sound like a five year old whose mother bought him the wrong flavor of ice cream..

    It's a free game. You can farm YOUR favorites for free, and play them wherever you like. If you want to win, invest in winning toons.

    Lol.. krennic not in the same class with jyn, k2so, he have same class with baze, hard to obtain.

    Krennic pack is there when he enter the game, last about a month. Also with his appereance in shard shop.. Maybe u are unlucky mate.

    You know you're right. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who has ever thought maybe triple cleanse isn't good for this game and instead of a nerf they could just be more difficult to farm. But that's probably all my motives because I need to move up higher than arena.

    You alread established Kreenic is clearly f2p so let's make Chirrut and Rex just as f2p as Krennic and make them hard node only.

    Or.....

    We could leave the game the way it is, and play it the way it was intended. This is of course a more subtle alternative to your idea about changing an entire game around your needs.

    Just food for thought.

    You realized Chirrut costs roughy 2/3 of a zeta to Max from 0 shards. He is freaking 14 zeta mats.

    To shipment farm Krennic from scratch you are looking at 26,400 crystals. If we use stun cuffs as a conversion rate that would be almost 3 full zeta's worth. Krennic is about 5 times more expensive than Chirrut right now. How is that a balanced though out game.

    I think that this thread is dead my friend.. You can't justify this position. Krennic is staying right where he is. On a hard node, along with stormtrooper and the rest. Get used to it bud.

    On the bright side, you will be making a few people happy with your non meta team in GW. Keep up the hard work.

    This game needs PVP soooooo bad.
  • @Olddumper They want to say he was available in Shard Shop. Krennic was there for 2 weeks. Nihilus has been there a month? and still there. 2Weeks wasn't much farm time in ****. K2SO had months, Baze was there for a while. Krennic. 2 Weeks and 2nd hardest farm in game behind you guessed it, Shoretrooper. Meanwhile, outside of Baze who is viable at 3*, the rest of the rebels are easy farms like you said.

    Update on this. I'm using a g9 4* Krennic in arena. I'm still able to take 1st and I hold better on D than I did with a cleanse squad.

    Tarkin DT DN Krennic and GK.

    I can wreck any team under 265 speed. I'm on a slow Rex heavy shard so it's perfect. My shard is like 90 percent Rex.

    I wish Krennick was more easily farmable as well.

    The struggle is real!

    It doesn't make sense that he is so hard to farm.

    You were able to buy Krennic and DT when they first came out. Lasted 30 days like just about everything else.

    Yes, with the infamous Citadel pack. Currently the most expensive pack ever created for toons in this game.

    The payday loan store said they could only lend me about 4 grand which I didn't think was enough to 7* them.

    I have him 7 star g9 and can say he is good, but not great. Not meta level at least. Teamed up with DT they do nicely but they aren't really arena viable for the same reason other empire aren't top arena viable. No empire cleanse and lack of great TM toon. Speed is king and EP is basically yr only real option for running Krennic. And maybe when EPs lead gets a zeta it'll be better. But that lack of cleanse and lack of good arena leader leaves empire teams lagging behind.

    In GW I usually start with EP lead, shore, krennic, DT and Vader (now sometimes Tarkin) team and they rock. Even though they're only g9 they still can beat most of my g11 based GW. Krennics leader is also interesting and I run Krennic, Veers, DT, Shore, and Snow sometimes and it's really solid too. But they both suffer in arena for the reasons I said, no cleanser and lack of TM control. If empire had just one toon with good speed, cleanse/tenacity up, and a team TM increase id try them out in arena with Krennic lead. If you had killer speed and that TM boost to get out yr debuffs early it could be a really great squad with krennics ability block and crit rate buff and a very very nice 10% protection regen per crit... I mean.. I main a ZJyn team and the 5% protection on buff they get makes a big difference. Imagine getting twice that every crit (which happen often) AND ability blocking forever. It's right on the verge of greatness. Just need a good EP zeta lead lol.

    Also more in line with yr question, Krennics got aoe stagger that's basically a 100% TM reduction if DTs present. He's got a two turn stun vs attackers. Two turn ability block vs healers/supports. Two turn buff immunity vs tanks (i.e. Taunt block). 100% tenacity down on basic. 50% crit buff vs debuffed team and 50% vs rebel (so +100% crit damage vs debuffed rebels) and he can't be hit with a crit, self heals, and gives full TM and revives with Deathtrooper. That's a really good kit when you consider he also has good base speed. That's why he's hard to get. He's not in most teams because of that. But he's well worth using, especially if you run deathtrooper.

    DN has his unique zeta'd I'll be doing DT next. Not sure if Tarkin's is worth it.

    He's awesome...

    I've used the Krennic/ DT combo a lot and I have to say that it's very strong...

    Case in point :)

    Well, say that to Nihilus, Baze and shoretrooper, all with 1 hard node too.
