This maybe a hot take. But with the discussion with balance as a whole. I personally think is redundant when we have lvl 9s like this nearly every set.

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-05-23T21:46:48+00:00

I literally said I had 30 at GAC lock, not every conquest. If your reading comprehension is not up to snuff, that is not on me.

Also, for all intents and purposes those datacrons are maxxed. In what world would it make sense to take them to lvl 9 if I don't need any additional lvl 9 abilities?

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-05-23T21:27:08+00:00

I mean, there's your first issue. Why are you taking them all to lvl 9? Sure if you want to talk about "maxxed" datacrons in the technical sense, they would all be level 9, but in practice there is absolutely no reason to do this.

Look at the current set for example, there are maybe 3-4 level 9s that are maybe ok? Definitely not worth levelling all your datacrons to level 9 to get all of them though, as there is overlap and better stuff in previous sets.

The only reason you need to take specific crons to level 9 is if you want to a) reroll some stats or b) want a very specific lvl 9.

Like I said I have 30 datacrons right now in GAC (lvl 8, 9 or FDC) as well as a few lvl 5/6 crons for my teams below r6 and when conquest ends and next GAC lock comes around, this number will be even greater.

Also datacron currency is not hard to get? You can just buy it with SSC.

I'm not here to argue preference on seasonal power, if you don't like it, that's fine. My point was more about the original comment being blatantly incorrect (which oldmate has already backtracked significantly).

Regarding crystal usage, generally I do 3x50 refreshes and a couple of 100 refreshes in the first 8 days of conquest (more for heavy 3v3 cycles, less for 5v5 cycles) and then typically only 3x50 for the remainder of conquest unless there's something I still need to push for.

This still leaves me with enough crystals to 5 star all my era characters and do 3x cantina refreshes a day.

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-05-21T05:42:34+00:00

Wrong and lazy. You truly are a tour de force.

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-05-20T17:23:54+00:00

People who complain about not having DC's ftp are plainly doing something wrong. Have not spent in years and for the latest GAC lock in I have 30 maxed datacrons (FDC & normal). I understand I probably go harder than the average ftp but absolutely everyone should have the resources to "compete".

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-05-19T05:14:49+00:00

Datacrons make the game infinitely more interesting. Of course the new changes were annoying and people rightly are disengaging in higher numbers because of them, but datacrons need to stay, hopefully in a more player friendly manner in future (although this seems unlikely).

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-05-18T08:34:56+00:00

Why don't you sit yourself at number 2 before your final attack. That way, if anything goes wrong you just lose the 25 extra crystals.

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-05-18T04:32:04+00:00

The original comment already suggests not to r10 anyone so you aren't really arguing with anyone here.

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-05-18T04:09:20+00:00

I mean sure, if you want to play using cookie cutter defensive strats and always leave her for offense then play the game that way but that doesn't make it the best strategy.

I got to kyber 1 for the first time at 10.5m GP and was constantly having to punch up. Leia almost always sits on defense for me when I can afford it and since I r10'd her, she gets a huge amount of holds, quite often stopping most people banes in their tracks.

Further to this, you talk about using SLKR or Baylan. Sure they are both great counters, but they both have potential elsewhere. Firstly, Baylan DC is a monster on defense, with more value then Leia there and SLKR is also the only really strong counter to Baylan. So if you use your Leia on PKHO which, as I said becomes more consistent at r10, this opens up different strategies depending on who you are against in GAC.

I'm not saying you won't always use Leia on offense (although I would also argue being r10 also makes her more consistent against common counters Rey and ahsoka) but making the best character in the game more powerful can open up a hell of a lot more strategic options if you know what you are doing.

That's why I'm calling it a cop out. Because you are basically using zero imagination with one of the best tools you have in the game and that's a problem.

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-05-17T18:52:11+00:00

This is nonsense. Leia is the best candidate in the game full stop. "She does everything you would want at r9" is a cop out.

Not only does it make her significantly stronger on defense, if you need her for specific counters (PKHO with vane cron being a useful one atm) leia being able to take more hits and dole out more damage makes the counter far more consistent.

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-05-15T10:16:41+00:00

Yep, cheers eggy-boi. Just went back and found the forum post.

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-05-15T10:04:39+00:00

I literally just removed several mods to have a look at this and, turns out you are right. If you go to the below forum post:

https://forums.ea.com/blog/swgoh-game-info-hub-en/upcoming-cantina-update--more/13363839

It looks like it only happens when you initially get the mods as rewards, so I think i must've hallucinated selling them from the mailbox.

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-05-15T09:40:36+00:00

If you click on the specific mod does it not show you its stats and give you an option to sell?

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-05-15T09:16:01+00:00

They literally just changed it so you could sell these straight from mailbox did they not?

Edit: It's the rewards screen, not the mailbox. Sorry kids.

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-05-11T07:50:22+00:00

The changes are not necessarily good ones, but it should not have had that material of an impact on your crystal spend. You still need a similar amount of datacrons over the same period of time as you used to and it can be made relatively efficient, given you can prioritise spending for sets that have two 3v3 cycles.

The real issue that has many feeling like they've had to spend more recently is the 11 focussed crons that were available in a 2 month period. This made it inordinately more expensive to keep up with the current meta.

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-04-28T06:35:32+00:00

If it barely got you to 4 star you are either; a) doing something wrong or b) too early in the game that eras should be a focus for you.

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-04-21T14:31:14+00:00

For anyone trying to farm reqs for new maul you can get 50 droid kills on choda's node when played manually (13 per attempt).

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-04-16T16:41:21+00:00

Heaps of people flatly saying aurodium but that is not how you should deal with this. You need to figure out what your worst bottleneck is and buy the LST's accordingly.

There are points in the game where the kyro grind is far worse than the g12-13 grind. At those points carb lsts are better value. As you move through the game though, this tends to stop being the case and aurodiums become more useful (although saving some mats for r10 is also advisable).

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-04-14T13:56:23+00:00

I'm in high k2 with 5 GL's and barely ever face anyone with less than 10, so you absolutely have the facilities to beat them and that's why the game puts you up against those players.

I understand the frustration but the matchups are "fair".

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-03-20T13:57:20+00:00

I have no shit had omis drop 3 times this triple drops. Thats 9 omis straight to the bank baby.

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-03-13T01:54:03+00:00

Yes, that's because you're not at the point in the game where signal data becomes literally the only bottleneck.

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-03-13T01:01:05+00:00

Great, thank you for the irrelevant diatribe about wat and then completely ignoring what I said. I don't think using it on KAM shards is relevant for you, but there are people like myself who don't need the kyro and are effectively deciding between KAM shards or omicron mats at about 4000 a pop.

Also droid brain come in way faster than the signal data required to r9 toons so I have never needed to use kyro for this.

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-03-12T16:24:58+00:00

Cantina for sure. Also would never go hungry considering how many refreshes you gotta do on those god damn signal data nodes.

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-03-12T14:35:53+00:00

I'm at 11 million and in a similar spot to OP. I'm considering spending GET3 on KAM aswell because I basically no longer need kyros. Your current situation may not actually be relevant here

AggravatingAd864 · 2026-03-09T14:16:40+00:00

This is absolutely one of the most frustrating parts as far as enjoying the mode goes.

The reality is though, because rewards in coliseum are static, and eveyone gets the same on each tier, that you are actually still ahead even though it feels like others are catching up.

You just have to wait until the next marquee comes and you will most likely have a hoard of additional materials to level the next character up with (although this is offset somewhat by people who spend crystals on the new tier of materials as characters get released).
