Who are the hardest and easiest characters to gear up?

WompWompRat · March 22, 2017 3:38PM

It seems like folks like Rex are a lot less difficult than toons like Sith Trooper.
Who in your view are the hardest/easiest ones to gear up?

Kivoku · March 22, 2017 3:41PM

Hardest: Greedo, FOST, Kenobi, Raid Han
Easiest: Most droids (minus HK)

Obviously I'm missing some, but those are the ones in my experience.

Palpi is rather easy to gear up and Lando

click "gear" for total numbers, usually a good indication.

I thought Nihilus was pretty easy compared to Sith Assassin. I always remembered JKA and Boba being a pain. Kenobi is currently a pain.

WompWompRat · March 22, 2017 4:11PM

Curious, but do you guys think usefulness = harder to gear?

Like EP is pretty useful and so is TFP but I didn't find them nearly as daunting as some others

Mrjenkins · March 22, 2017 4:14PM

Ya nihlous is easy to gear at least to Lev 7 or 8 boba and Vader less so

Woodroward · March 22, 2017 4:17PM

Geonosian Soldier is really easy.
All the Jawa are really easy.
Mace is really easy.
Fives was pretty easy.
Tusken Raider is pretty easy.
Consular is fairly easy
Droids are fairly easy (B2 and K2 are the hardest)

Kivoku · March 22, 2017 4:17PM

Greedo is borderline useful n the best of cases, and was the hardest gear I've ever done.

I think it all just depends tbh. Nihilus is easy to gear and useful but he isn't very fast and doesn't hit very hard. With all of the gear Boba gets, he gains more speed and such. Sometimes the harder gear make the toon more useful but sometimes the gear doesn't matter as much. It all depends on the toon and what you are using them for.

I find the newer troops to be harder than earlier. Is this because AAT wasnt around when they set the gear requirements for early troops like STH/Lando?

Idk, look at Nute Gunrays gear requirements.

OldDakaNewBarber · March 22, 2017 4:22PM

Before the tank raid, only 12 characters were able to get to gear 11. Among them, only QGJ requires less than 400 purple gear. He is almost certainly the character that is easiest to gear while still being usable in the game.
Yoda, EE, Mace, GS all tie for second place.

Why is FOST hard to gear =\ I want to build up my first order

WompWompRat · March 22, 2017 4:32PM

I heard FOST is tough ... and he's so annoying to farm

I forgot QGJ and GS were really easy ..

FOST needs 400 Carbantis, 100 stunguns and 150 stun cuffs. nuff said.

Not to mention a long grind to 7*. Long gear + star grind = omg

For a StormTrooper! lol

JacenRoe · March 22, 2017 5:00PM

Easiest I've ever done? GS, QGJ, Rex, EP, Vader, and Yoda.

Most miserable gear hogs I've maxed? General Kenobi and Boba Fett. I seem to recall Wedge, and Anakin were each a project. I'm currently eyeing Sidious, and he's no walk in the park either.

Don't you mean Zomg?

Side Note: Who knew when that first came out that it was a zeta'd OMG?

Kivoku · March 22, 2017 5:16PM

Greedo needs 350 stun cuffs, 150 carbanti, 100 Mk6 detonators, 100 stun guns. He wins, and is not worth the gear.

Not true at all about the Jawas. They use a ton of gear. When u consider the payoff, they are one of the worst.They all use nearly the same gear scheme too.

Rex, Poggle & DN are the three easiest imo

But they are both so squishy.

Napoli · September 14, 2017 4:02PM

I think Han Solo is probably the hardest start-to-finish gear I can remember building up.

If memory serves, some of the easier ones were QGJ, Lando, and Lando. I've also heard Resistance Trooper is a very easy gear.

Napoli · September 14, 2017 4:03PM

That would be QGJ, Lando - and Ackbar (not Lando twice)

WompWompRat · September 14, 2017 6:29PM

Now that this thread is back ... thinking a few months since my previous post, Thrawn is definitely one of the hardest ... that carbanti requirement is insane

DarkstarSunrise · September 14, 2017 6:39PM

Phoenix is a pain because they all need like identical gear.

GreenGoblin96 · September 14, 2017 6:44PM

Han solo to gear XII is insane, all those guns

lamatoe · September 14, 2017 10:46PM

Scariff rebel - 550 Carbantis - 250 stun guns
Bistan is crazy to gear aswell. 2 of the worst characters easily.

Billcarson66 · September 15, 2017 3:27AM

Kanan and Zeb to gear 9 makes me want to cry.
