Galactic war. Does it draw from arena?

President_Scroob · May 5, 2016 5:45AM

Because that's all I'm getting. I'm seeing no healers. Pure arena teams every node after six. I'm staring at a monster of a team that made me quit gw tonight for the first time in months:

Dooku (L)
QGJ
GS Gear 9
Omega fives gear 9
Omega Rey Gear 9

All level 77

Needless to say, I have no protection by now, and this is not exactly a fair match.

AlwaysABigerFish · May 5, 2016 5:54AM

I think so, it can't draw from GW because everyone uses a variety of teams each time. Or maybe just the top 5 power characters on someone's roster

If this is the case, then protection needs to be gone from GW asap. Facing arena teams 6 nodes in a row with no protection of my own is simply not fair. Yeah tell me to L2P...but I just went through 15 7*. Could not complete it for the first time in months due to the onslaught of arena burst damage teams. After that team I listed I got another arena team, this time with Daka and RG.

What's your arena power? And what is your A team line up in GW

Timitock · May 5, 2016 6:03AM

Umm what about your bench? GW is all about using your whole roster.

AlwaysABigerFish · May 5, 2016 6:05AM

The reason I ask for your A team is that I failed GW for a weak straight after they added protection. Then I made a few changes to my A team and now it's as easy as ever. I barely ever have to use my B team except maybe on the final node. But having a good bench is also very helpful

32,598

A team is:

Lumi (L)
Dooku
JC
GS
QGJ

This normally can get me to nod 7 before I have to start being more careful. I save barris, RG, and fives till harder ones. I can field a b and c team too

Baldo · May 5, 2016 6:09AM

@President_Scroob yes it does, there are names at the top of the squads & more often than not I see players from my server.

I have 15 7* to use. I got a phasma B team, and another team that is there to soak up specials.

President_Scroob · May 5, 2016 6:12AM

And actually I somehow just completed it. Got lucky with my low low toons and got them to use specials. That was without a doubt the most brutal gw I've ever had. I wouldn't have a problem with this....IF it wasn't every stinking night.

AlwaysABigerFish · May 5, 2016 6:12AM

Put barriss in as your lead and try that out, I have her at 4* and she has made all the difference in the world for me. My arena power is nearly 33k and my rank is 77. I'd suggest this team for you
Barriss (L)
Fives
Lumi
GS
QGJ
That is if fives is maxed, otherwise leave dooku. That would give you a team almost identical to mine (I run barriss lumi savage fives and GS) and I find GW very easy and enjoyable

I try to save barris and fives till later. Should I not do that? Also there are no stuns there

You can save them for later if you want, but I use that team and I make it to the end every day. And I don't use any stuns and I do fine

What kind of teams do you face?

Timitock · May 5, 2016 6:16AM

Barriss (L), RG, Fives, Lumi, JC should be cruise control for 10 nodes, then use the other guys as hit squads.

If you have Ahsoka, she would be better than JC. GW is about stamina. Maybe run a Chewie lead on early nodes until your Protection fades.

All 7* always. Starts out high level 60s then quickly get to mid 70s. By node 6 or 7 they are equal to my level or higher. I stagger my heals and do my best to make sure all cooldowns are reset when I finish a battle. I don't face many RGs thankfully but I see dooku lead daka teams all the time.

My barriss is only 5* Gear 8

My barriss is 4* gear 8 and she does fine. In her case, gear is more important than stars

fudgra · May 5, 2016 6:24AM

I'm seeing the typical teams you'd see in the arena throughout the GW. Especially rough ones towards the end.

I almost didn't beat it today for the first time in weeks. I must have spent 1/2 hour on the 11th node alone because I was determined to beat it and get my double rewards.

BWSkynobi · May 5, 2016 6:45AM

Run Bariss in your A squad. No need to make her a leader unless you didn't get to heal before the last fight ended.

I run
Dooku (L)
Lumi
Savage
Bariss
Sid

Eventually Dooku dies and I sub in Vader with Sid or Lumi as lead. I run my B squad of Jedis for a few rounds once my protection is gone from the A team.

And then my C squad to take out a few toons on the last 3 nodes if I get a run off tough squads.

Barriss's extra health is a big help for me, but I run a high health team so maybe that's just me
