Hi There. In 40 old father who started this game with my son. Need help playing
So. I have always been star wars fan and wanted to play this game and started it with my son (12, has own account) two months ago. My son is WAAYYY farther than I am, moslty because he can beat galactic war daily and i havent been able to get past number 9... I always get LVL82-85 Phoenix or imperial at this point and most of the time my team is done before i even get turn... I have tried many times retreat and try, but no way i can beat this.
My son has bastilla, Kyloren, and others on his team.
My best team by power Bobafett, Jangofett/vader, Jedi coucelor, young luke and mace windu.
How to assemble my squad to beat this Galactic war? IT seems that it is only place to get credits and goodies and im missing everything grinding and getting frustrated by not being able to upgrade my units.

Making it even simpler their are 3 main early goals:
1) Phoenix Team - the best early lightside team, can win GWar most days by themselves because they regen health/Protection. On days where you get a hard node —> you use your 2nd team (Empire) to assist.
Phoenix can unlock 2 Legendary characters - Thrawn and Emperor Palpatine.
2) Empire - Vader, TFP, Tarkin, RGuard + 1 Trooper/Boba Fett temporarily . Replace RG and the +1 with Thrawn and EP when you get them.
Empire - Unlock R2D2
3) Credit Heist Team - you need credits! Stick to BHs and Storm Trooper Han. You need BHs later on and you need STH for unlocking Commander Luke later on.
Tarkin I would do earlier than he suggests.
I’d do Greedo before IG88
Lando I’d pass on (although he is useful early game)
- 4 empire charactes at 3 stars or better
- 4 first order character at 3 stars or better
- 1 rebel characters at 3 stars
- 1 resistance characters at 3 stars
So... my question is why characters are not balanced so that I could use them.. EA?
You would make Team 1 the Rebels you need to unlock CLS
And still need an Empire Team to unlock R2D2
So....something like
AA(lead), STH, Leia, Farmboy Luke and Old Ben for Team 1
Tarkin(l), TFP, Stormtrooper(or RG), Magmatrooper and one other for Team 2
Credit Heist —> Boba, Greedo, Cad Bane, STH +1
This would give you the teams to unlock Commander Luke(CLS), R2D2, Emperor Palpatine.
So your eventually upgraded teams would be solid
1) AA(l), R2D2, Leia, Old Ben and CLS
2) EP(l), Vader, Tarkin, TFP and Stormtrooper
3) Boba (l), Greedo, Cad Bane, and 2 other BHs
TFP i quess is Tiefighterpilot..
Empire.
3 good Scoundrels.
Gear up to get CLS.
You haven't farmed useless toons, Boba Jango and Vader are all solid toons, and Farm boy Luke is needed for CLS, so those arent wasted. Mace isn't great, but you need to build him at least enough to clear his ship challenge later so there's that. JC isn't exactly stellar, but his ship isn't bad for when you start your fleet so at least you can use him there for a bit.
I would highly recommend PS for sure, they take you far early game. I started out lost and 2 weeks in I found warriors guide and it completely changed my game experience. At least you are finding help now, 2 months in, I've seen people asking after they had played for a year!
By the time he actually has them powered up, he'll be facing squads that crush them in both arena and GW.
BTW.. because I cannot yet beat GW... what is second best way to credits?
What does this actually mean? Because I have wrong chars i cannot ever beat GW? Or it will take months? That means endless grinding with no credits.. so basically hang gloves?
... And sorry. this has become me speapinkg to myself...
*Original Rebels —> Admiral Ackbar, Farmboy Luke, Leia, Stormtrooper Han and Old Ben (replace STH with R2D2 once you unlock him and replace Farmboy Luke with Commander Luke/Raid Han)
*Empire —> You need x5 at 7* to unlock R2D2 —> Tarkin and Tie Fighter Pilot should be 2 of these.
Focus on making them both as strong as you can.
Ive noticed something else in your arena team.
The speed numbers of your mod sets are +37, +23, +21, +2 and +13. Thats literally close to zero. And you dont have a single omega ability unlocked.
What does this mean? Where do I get These Omega abilities?
I havent been able to play mod challenges too far yet. So i cannot get speedmods yet.
Potency challenge. i got:
Vader
Boba Fett
Farmboy luke
Jedi consular
Mace windu
I have tried with vader as leader and luke as leader.... I get annihilated byt emperor and 3 royal guards..
So no speed mods in near future
Only the arrow mod can get speed Primary (the main top number). These are less common and if you get one put it on your best characters.
Speed secondary numbers are still the most important next number for 95% of characters “BUT any mod is better than none!”
If you see a Blue Mod without speed - level it until lvl 6 and it will show you all 4 stats on it. if it has speed then lvl it up to 12 then 15 when you have the credits. Sometimes you might get a good mod without speed e.g. a Crit Damage Triangle, with CChance,Offence and Health/Protection on it’s secondaries. Don’t assume no speed = useless at the beginning of the game!
If you see a Purple Mod without speed - level it until lvl 3 and see if it gains speed.
Gold mods show all 4 immediately.
Green Mods - if you have the credits then you can consider leveling to lvl 9 and looking for speed. This is obviously more expensive.
Grey Mods - Sell them unless it’s a Speed Arrow Primary or a Triangle that you need (Triangle mods are rarer).
You need three things for GW - healing (preferably passive, crowd control (offensive & defensive) and good damage output.
How about something unorthodox using characters from different stores and easier nodes:
This whole idea fails if you can’t reach and 3* Cantina node 3B (Qi’ra)
—> The team I’m suggesting is a Scoundrel team with regenerating Protection thanks to Qi’ra lead. It will let you 3* the credit Heist, and training droid Heist, move up the Arena and clear Galactic War. It’s a mixed lightside/Darkside Team.
Qi’ra (lead) Cantina node 3b
Boba - Cantina Store
Cad Bane - Galactic War
Lando - Cantina node 1e
STHan - Squad Arena Store.
This team has plenty of DPS, stuns, Taunts and Protection recovery. All on easy nodes. What do other people think??
Comments please
max boba 100'/100
young lando 2/25
SThan 26/65
still un opened:
zero qira 0/25
cad bade 27/50
I realise that my problem is bad healers.. jedi consular is not very good.
Luminara Unduli is easiet to open 36/50. Worth it?
I did spend 50EUR, but hopefully not too much... I have learned my lesson about these games and unlimited payments.... with Clash Royale... Game is same no matter how much you pay..
Whatever you do get should go on energy refreshes to speed up your farming. Do not waste crystals buying shards and definitely do not waste them buying shard packs.
Money can be effective here, if spent on energy refreshes. Each day you can refresh light/dark side energy and mod energy 3x for 50 crystals a time (then cost doubles to 100) and fleet and cantina energy 3x for 100 crystals a time (then cost doubles to 200). The first tier of each is a worthwile investment.
