Hi all,
First post here, chasing a bit of advice. I am hoping to get some opinions on whether I should continue using my GW gems to upgrade Luminara, or start towards unlocking Phasma (iPhone player so I got Poe free).
Do people believe that Phasma is a viable long term option for most (if not all) team comps?
I'm interested mostly in GW, story mode (as it develops), and less seriously Arena (I float around rank 100 on my server, roughly 15450 power at the moment). I would like to eventually breach top 10-20 Arena.
My Luminara is currently 5/85 shards towards 6* and is gear 7.
I'm lvl 55 at the moment, running a usual comp of 5* Sid VII, 5* Lumi VII, 4* JC VIII, 4* Poe VI, and either 3* Dooku VI or 2* TiePilot VI.
If I unlock Phasma using the GW shards, what star level will she be? 1?
So much confusion haha any advice or opinions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I'd think unlocking Phasma is a solid choice since you will have another good character to use and as you said, GW and story are your priorities (mine too) rather than arena so more character variety seems like it'd be beneficial.
I unlocked her and am now going to get my Lumi up to star level 5 before bothering to get Phasma to 4.
I go on record as saying phasma and lumi are both beastly in their own way an there really aint a wrong answer here. I just 7*'d my lumi (max gear/max lvl) and now am pouring 100% into phasma
Since GW is easy to beat, I also don't see the purpose in doing the LS/DS. I got all the items I need to get maxed, so those aren't a priority for me either as I get everything I need.
That being said, the only thing that can really change is arena, everything should be built for it.
I thought the same, but lately I face 5 to 8 all level 60 enemies each with amazing serups, epic (Level VII or VIII gear) ALL ability 7 and full of non farmable epic chars...and even with bugs, it takes a lot of deep strategizing, persistance, creativity and rotations to beat.
Picture this: sometimes a char does before I even get a turn. Sometimes entire ranks of 7* end up almost dead. This amkes "healing-at-the-end" a must, and next battle becomes a huge logistical nightmare. Imagine. 7 Kylo, 7 Sid and 7 IG-88. By turn 2 you have 4 or more chars with immunity block. Yeah, retreat, and you reset their timers to your dissadvantage.
A week ago I though people whined too much abiut GW. Now I think that as other teams progress to max-epic-everything, there will be anpoint in which every single battle will be an epic 7 vs 7 nightmare. After 4 battles, prepare to be humbled sooon.
My advise to OP is as other poster said, no wrong option. Both are top characters that enable different strategies. If enemy has a Phasma combined with high dps, you may want to use yours to level turn meters, and stun them. Without Phasma...you go last period. Lumi needs more starts to get a bit more tanky tgough, more than Phasma. Bur more important are the ability upgrades. Lumi needs to be a super healer and that means ability 6 target is important.
Yea but thats if u cheat by exploiting glitches etc, not all of us want to win by cheating lol the challenge is what makes it fun
^^^Valid^^^
Its not cheating. YOU WILL NOT BEAT GW WITHOUT RETREATING AND EXITING THE GAME. Stop lieing to us and yourself. Every game out there like this one has a retreat button that also restarts the fight, js.
Then I learned the retreats And bugs, And havent Lost since then
Exactly ^
I screwed up stupidly today and lost both Luminara and Consular in the 3-4 mission of GW. Luckily my other toons were good enough to get me through the next 3-4. I've only finished GW twice.
Yup, impossible to always beat GW without using the "glitches". Those same "glitches" existed in other games that this game was based on so I doubt it was actually a glitch.
