What is going on with Galactic War?
Yesterday the last node in GW was a ridiculous team to fight they wiped every single toon in my roster and I never killed a single one on that team. Not one. I chalked it up just that bad luck of the draw.
Today I am facing almost the exact team except on node 8! I am taking a break to come here and see if anyone else is experiencing this.
I expect GW to be a challenge but if there are going to be teams that exist to take out every toon in your inventory what's the point? Feel pressured to buy some 1,500 crystal items in the shop real fast? Is it just some tweaking the devs need to work on to make the difficulty progression manageable?
This is a debuff to entertainment enjoyment.

What team are you running?
It doesn't matter but I run Barriss(leader), Qui Gon, Luminara, Kit, and Aayla and all are gear 8 with abilities at 6 or higher.
Then I send in my suicide squad of Dooku (6*, leader), Sidious, Darth Maul, GS, and RG. Only Dooku is 6* the rest are 7* and all are gear 8. These guys usually take out more than my jedi team but I prefer my jedi team in GW. The each have their strengths and weaknesses, you just have to know how to leverage them for each node.
There is absolutely no secret to GW, it's like any war you need to have meat for the grinders. Once I had 2 powered up teams I was clearing through GW every day and I have only had 1 hiccup in the past month.
7* Asajj, 7* Daka, 7* IG-86, 5* RG, and 6* Talia all roughly level 73.
B Team
7* Phasma, 6* Sidious, 5* JC, 5* Chewbacca, and 6* Resistance Pilot all roughly level 69
I have a C team (suicide) that are mostly 4 stars that I use sometimes to go in and have the enemy team use up all their special attacks and buffs/debuffs then send in my A or B team to have an easier time. About 12 toons to chose from on the suicide team.
This has served me well for a long time but I am now going on day 2 of running into a team that will kill all of them.
Of your forces. Enemy protection and special abilities do not refresh after they defeat you. Try using your weeks party first to suck out the other teams specials. Then use a mid level team to destroy their protection. Then you fight them with your main team. By this point they and you main team
Should be even in protection and specials. Finally on the last two GW figths use up your entire forces. Make it so you only win the last battle with 3 or two characters left. Never complete the entire GW with only 1 or two teams. The game bases the difficulty off of what you use.
Barriss (leader), RG, i-86, gs , 5's... Sometimes I throw Lumi instead of 5's but it doesn't matter much. on ultra fast squads that are able to kill a toon I just go to my fast arena team. I can see where it can be a struggle if you are lower level.
Since they introduced protection, I can't get past node 8/9.
What?!?! @Jedi_StarJammer1
40 minutes today give or take a few.
This is what I do too. My Empire team with Vader lead goes in to burn specials and hopefully knock the protection off an enemy or two, usually targeting Sidious and Dooku. Seems to work for me.
At L75 with 9 7* G8-9 characters, I have been fortunate to complete GW more often than not. Just about every day I hit node 8 and 9 and think there's no way I'll be finishing today. Send in a suicide squad on both nodes and manage to squeak by. Node 10 I have to send in the Arena squad (no healers) which pretty much wrecks them all, but allows me to move on. Last two nodes are just scrapping, using the bench and somehow finishing.
in yesterdays GW in on the 8th node I faced an all 7* gear 8 / 9 team of Leia, RG, QGJ, GS, 5s

I am to finish just under 500 in arena to get a shipment and one extra a week. GW is way higher. I run Lumi (L), Sid, JC, Phasma, Chewie until the last few nodes. Usually without any issues. I'll bring in Talia if I need another heal, RG when I need a targeted stun...thats it. I run a B team the last node to remove protection and kill 1-2 toons. I've finished it for about 1 month straight.
This was more or less, balanced.
Not anymore. We still face teams that out gear us and are out powering us and now they also concentrate, directly on certain characters. This is not balanced by a long shot.
Previously, with three healers I'd go back and forth with using my turns to heal and then chip away toon by toon as the opponent was higher powered, but spread their attacks out. Now my healers are singled out, my opponent is higher powered and my opponent has all of their protection...
....**** kinda bull is that?
Try using your B team to start. That way you don't have to waste protection on your A team. This has worked for me every day except one since the update. I would also say work on JC and put him in your A team until you get Barriss or Lumi.
