VIDEO 1 - With Royal Guard
In the first video (against Dooku (L), Yoda, Rey, GS and Daka) you can see how I won the battle with almost full health in all characters. Resistance Pilot killed 2 characters (GS and Yoda), and you can see that after kill GS she gain a lot of turn meter, she gain 22,5% turn meter thanks to the critical hit, she gain foresight, and now, when Dooku attack he, she gain another 45% turn meter and attack again, killing Yoda, so Resistance Pilot attacked 2 times and Yoda only one time before die, and the turn meter of IG-86 is 50% when RP attack, although IG-86 have the more speed than RP (116 vs 115), so thanks to the special abilities RP is very fast sometimes.

In the previous battle (against Dooku (L), QGJ, Rey, GS and Poe) the enemy have Dooku as leader and I won the battle in spite of the lot of evasion. RP resisted a attack from GS and a double attack of Dooku before the taunt of RG. In the video you can see that RP kill Poe with only 2 attacks. I think that is very needed 3 good attackers in any team, GS and IG-86 with Poggle as leader are the best attackers of the game, Rey is the 3th, and then Resistance Pilot is maybe the 4th.

In the following video a very interesting thing about RP, thanks to his evasion, in this video RP evaded the attacks of Yoda and QGJ, and then gain 45% turn meter, so finally RP is faster than GS, so I attacked and exposed GS with RP and then easy to kill with my GS. Now RG also gain turn meter and can stun IG-86. then RP + Poggle enough to kill QGJ, IG-86 kill Yoda, and Luminara the last. Another easy battle, with almost full health, thanks to Resistance Pilot and RG.

To defend the rank is better use Poe Dameron, without Royal Guard, because then a lot of enemy characters will be faster than RP and IG-86 and woul be an easy target, but with Poe as leader he can remove 25% of the turn meter and expose, so now IG-86 and RP are faster than QGJ not as leader, Kylo Ren, Luminara, Daka, Jawa, Datcha, Han, Phasma, IG-88, IG-86, RP, FOTP, Savage, Aayla, Vader, etc, then is easy defend the rank. With RG and RP I dropped 32 positions in the first 16 hours, so is not effective to defend the rank, is better with Poe. An interesting thing of this video is that in the beginning the assist of my GS is RP, the hit of RP is critical, so she gain 22,5% turn meter and now is faster than Poe, for example.

lemme know?
speeding up 86 is almost a must for him to be most effective....just my 2 cents
It is also a good team, but more in the attack (to get the rank) that in the defense (to defend the rank), because teams with Dooku will attack your QGJ at the beginning and 90% of cases will stun he, and in 36% of cases will stun 2 characters, so you can think in a different team to defend the rank and use the team that you said to get the rank.
The developers said that the characters with a lot of damage and speed is going to decrease their power attack, but RP don't have a lot of speed, only 115, so I think that will continue being the same. It can be applied to Geonosian Soldier, for example, or Rey, but not to RP I think.
I think that Poggle is better as leader than Dooku, because GS (without the offense up at the beginning) need the +25% offense of the leader ability of Poggle to kill a character in the beginning, is not 100% necessary, but a lot of times GS is not enough to kill Rey, for example, and then you need 2 attacks to kill Rey, is better assure that GS can kill Rey at the beginning. Also with Poggle IG-86 can kill characters with 12-14k of health, and with the offense up is faster than the enemy IG-86 if the enemy don't have Poggle and Poe, and also faster than FOTP, Luminara and IG-88. A team with Dooku (L), GS; IG-86, RP and RG would be worse, or a team without RP and with Poggle also would be worse. The only good option is QGJ, but only to get the rank, to defend the rank is better Resistance Pilot, to prevent the stun of Dooku, or at least reduce the chance from 90% to 40%.
his evasion is only 5% yes ? or there's something i missing ?
I like the Poggle (L), GS, 86 core. I use Phasma and ST Han for turn meter manipulation (and Phasma hits hard with Poggle's buff and advantage), but it only gets me so far.
Dooku L
Rey
RP
GS
Hrs
Lots of fast damage
Nice combination RP with FOTP hehe. Yes it's 5% evasion and a base evasion of 7,5% that all characters have, so is 12,5%. Will not be very common that RP gain 45% turn meter at the beginning, but it can happen and then I think the best is attack the GS enemy and kill he with own GS if the enemy don't have Rey.
The problem that I saw is that using RP is better kill Yoda before QGJ, because then Yoda can gain foresight and apply it to all allies, so the best option is kill Rey and Yoda in the first turn and then GS and QGJ, and Dooku at the end, for example, when usually I kill Rey and QGJ at the beginning, and then GS, Yoda and Dooku.
and i allways focus yoda over QGJ, qgj is not a threat actually (Which is pretty sad, because if he is considered that weak to me, why i even use him ?!).
Anyway vs team you suggest, i'll focus Rey/Yoda/Gs/Dooku/Qgj last.
whenever my Resistance Trooper in 6*, i'll swap him for the QGJ also.
I like kill QGJ before GS because QGJ can dispel the taunt of RG and all allies gain offense up, and then the other enemy characters can attack my characters, I prefer lose RG that lose an attacker, and the basic damage of GS is not very strong, there are 21 toons with a better basic damage than GS, a team without Poggle as leader and without offense up, the damage of GS is only around 4K, the special of QGJ is stronger than the basic damage of GS (3383 vs 3020), and can dispel the taunt and gain offense up to all allies, so it's better kill QGJ first, also QGJ have less health, almost 2K less, easier to kill if the assist of IG-86 is RG, so now I prefer kill Rey, Yoda, QGJ, GS and Dooku.
Also I will check if it's better use RG or Poe to defend the rank, because with RG is useful when I'm controlling the team and deciding who stun, but the AI in the beginning always applies defense up, that is not very useful, and the stuns are random, and if the enemy have IG-88 maybe my GS don't attack IG-88 at the beginning and then it's easy lose, and if the enemy have Poe his IG-86 will play before my IG-86, only GS, Poggle and RG will play at the beginning, RP and IG-86 will play after his toons, so maybe is better use Poe to defend the rank and RG to get the rank.
Yeah, you're right. I forgot about Poggle's speed boost to droids, and he's fast enough to force your opponent to deal with him, which removes an attack that would go against a DPS before their turn. You could realistically end round 1 in a 5v3 pretty often if you avoid dodges.
QGJ calling assist on RG is probably a stun on whoever you focus first. how is that not great ? his stun is VERY useful, especially vs fast toons, like GS. if QGJ stun GS, he dont atc even once and will be dead. if he kill assist of attacker, not sure he will die insta, he tanky.
Yes but if GS don't kill Rey, for example, and the enemy have Luminara, then Lumi can heal Rey, so now the strategy is kill Luminara first to prevent the heal, when maybe is better kill QGJ or Yoda, so I prefer GS + IG-86/RP/Poggle, when the assist is RG is worse.
Nice, tell us tomorrow how many position you lost during the rest of the day to know how works to defend the rank In my server I lost 15 positions with all my teams, always I use Poggle (L), GS and IG-86, the combinations are with Poe and RG, Poe and Kylo Ren, RG and Kylo Ren, Poe and IG-88 and RG and Lumi, is the same all teams. The objective is a team who can maintain the TOP 10 during the rest of the day, maintain the TOP 5 is not possible, but maybe yes the TOP 10.
and now I'll start to farm resistence pilot, thanks for the videos
Truth, but with Poggle her critical damage is around 8K, very high, and with Poe as leader I have seen crits of 11K or 12K. And the normal damage with offense up is around 6K, so it's nice. I replaced Kylo Ren by RP and it's a good change, Kylo only is dangerous if her health is below 50% and he uses the special ability that have 75% more damage, but it is easy to prevent, killing Kylo at the end, and if Kylo is the assist of GS or IG-86 is not a lot of damage, only around 3K, if RP is the assistance is around 4K for GS or 6K for IG-86, and if is critical around 8K, and a critical + the expose can be more than 11K.
Is better Rey and maybe also FOTP is better, but these are toons hard to farm, my Rey is 4 stars and 31/65 to 5 stars, maybe I will replace RP by Rey after get 5 stars and gear 8, and my FOTP is 3 stars and 18/30 to 4 stars, very hard to farm. Also QGJ can be better in the attack, to get the rank, my QGJ is almost 5 stars, but to defend the rank is better don't use jedis, or only use Yoda. Meanwhile the people get Rey, FOTP and QGJ, RP is a good option, easy to farm, 15 shards per day.
Well done! RG and Poe in the same team is very useful to get the rank and to defend the rank, but with RP then Poe is not needed. Anyway I need check if to defend the rank is better use Poe or RG.
1- I'm farming RP right now, seems like a really strong character and thanks for the videos showing his dmge/skills
2- what are your thoughts about stormtrooper han replacing RP in this team? (Poggle, ig86, GS, RG and STH)
Normal damage without offense up:
Normal damage with offense up:
Critical damage without offense up:
Critical damage with offense up:
Normal damage with offense up and Poe as leader (+22,5% offense in that moment):
Critical damage with offense up and Poe as leader (+22,5% offense in that moment):
So, in summary, the damages are around:
Normal damage without offense up: 4K
Normal damage with offense up: 6K
Critical damage without offense up: 6K
Critical damage with offense up: 8,5K
Normal damage with offense up and Poe as leader (+25% offense): 7,5K
Critical damage with offense up and Poe as leader (+25% offense): 10,5K
Are very nice damages, very seemed to IG-86, the only difference is that IG-86 have a better special ability and have more chance to get a critical, but the basic damage is almost the same or better.
I have a post with a lot of videos, playing with Poe and RG in the same team:
https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/20150/royal-guard-and-poe-in-the-same-team-strategy-against-teams-with-qgj-yoda-and-rey
I think is better with Poe than Han, because Poe is faster than Han, with more health, can remove 25% of the turn meters and expose. The expose is useful against characters with foresight, as Rey and Yoda, but sometimes is a disadvantage against teams with Dooku as leader, because then, the characters that have resisted the expose gain offense up. I think that Royal Guard is the best option to get the rank, but to defend the rank maybe Poe continue being the best option, I need check it during some days.
I have 7* GS on Gear IX with power of 6100 so I love him!
I have a 3* RG so I was surprised your RG is only 4*. That's exciting since I am
farming him every day and have 10 out of 30 shards. In a couple of weeks he
will be 4* for sure!
I have IG-86 but have not farmed/built him up yet. I'm looking forward to it.
maybe you got bad luck, could you try rg and rp for a couple days?
Dooku (L)
QGJ
GS
RP
Royal Guard
Pretty good
