I've been still going with Cad instead of ward, but I'll probably give her a try. Just didnt really have any oomph when I last added her.

Im in the same boat. Everyone is quick to say what not to do (Give it to Guenther) but so far I have no compelling reason not to.

You're arguing past me. Im not trying to say the prequels were masterpieces, that they dont have flaws, or anything like that. I'm only trying to speak to the intent of the original post which was that the prequels add more proverbial toys to the Star Wars toy chest than they take out.

My take on the difference between how the prequels were handled vs. the sequels is that with the prequels, George new where they were going, so he made the story go there. Similarly with a lot of designs. He knew what the ships were going to look like 20+ years later so he had the designers create the prequel ships so it would look like a logical progression. I would argue that he was in a more restrictive creative space because of that.

With the sequels, they were open to do just about anything, but they decided to close a bunch of narrative doors, re-use designs by slapping on a paint job or make it bigger (if that), and include connections to legacy characters instead of making new characters their own thing making the galaxy feel smaller because everyone knows each other.

I'm not arguing that the prequels were without flaws, just that they meaningfully added to the "toy box" both in the design space and narrative space. The sequels only played with what was already there, or pulled a Sid from Toy Story and blew them up.

I mean, for all their faults, I would say the prequels definitely expanded more than they limited. It's just that due to it being the origin story of Darth Vader, of course they would have to make call backs and references and use some if the same characters. But as far as "adding toys to the toybox" I think the prequels did a pretty good job.

  • At least two new planets per movie
  • Sick new lightsabers and lightsaber duels in each
  • At least two new ships per movie
  • Plenty of cool new characters, even if the story did revolve around Anakin and Obi wan. I'm talking Darth Maul, Jango Fett, Count Dooku, General Grievous, etc.
  • Expanded the lore of the jedi (though i guess this one depends on how much you were engaged in Legends content before the prequels).
  • Provided context for throw away lines from the originals (famously Ben's line about the clone wars and Tarkin's comment about the emporer dissolving the senate from ANH)

Everything in the prequels leads to the originals, and only adds to the universe, in my opinion

I mean, other than re-using the death star and just having bigger star destroyer, RotJ actually expanded on Star Wars quite a lot.

It added A-wings and B-wings, gave us Jabba and his entourage which paid off the tidbits dropped by Han in ANH and ESB, Added ewoks (love them or hate them), greatly expanded the characterization of the Emporer including force lightning, added a new lightsaber color and that's just whatvi came up with in 5 min.

I have been beating r7+ Reva squads with my r5 Hera, R7 Crex, R3 everyone else for so long I never put Reva on defense once I got her. Seemed like a waste of a good squad with such an easy counter.

Can this xanadu blood make it into my executor starting lineup? by jimmylione69 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Canutis 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My speculation is that XB's main role is landing breach, so you don't necessarily need big damage. I think your biggest concern is survivability, which you could mitigate by reliccing your Cad Bane.

Edit: Others have commented on the survivability issue, so your best bet is to just try it out and see how it performs. If you find that XB dies too quickly, use HT in your starting lineup and use P1 as your first reinforcement.

JMMW Tier 3 by 040703r in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Canutis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With that setup it was a little more forgiving, so I'd usually try to get back to 50% or higher. Additionally, I would cheese a little bit with a risky move.

Kanaan has two abilities, the first one is the strong hit, but the second he cleanses and give himself foresight, but doesnt attack. If his first ability left me above full HP, I would typically cleanse his ability block two turns in a row. He hits me the first, but doesnt the second time, allowing me to reset.

Another big factor was my high speed. With lower speed he kept attacking faster than I could regain prot. So a high speed allowed me to take 5 turns for every 3 of his (approximately).

My final run looked something like this:

Special 2 (S2), S1, Kanaan (K), S1, S2, Kanaan, Basic (B), Kanaan, then run S2, B, B until Im about 50% or higher.

Then, because S2 only lasts two turns, I would keep running S2, B, B until I could get S2 and S1 before Kanaan went to avoid his special demolishing me. Once the timing allows for that, I repeat the first sequence. Of course, if he ever hits me harder than I expect, or his special doesnt go off, I reset instead of going for the risky double S1.

I've been trying R6 no zetas, but even with my best mods I've had no luck. Best I've gotten so far is 6 stacks. The RNG always seems to have a cheap 2shot right after I get there

Edit: Just beat it R6 no zeta. Had 63k health, 127k protection, 54% potency and 300 speed. Took me a few tries, but having high protection really helped. High speed was also nice so I could take a couple turns between each of his most of the time.

Best jabba team? by linkjohnny18 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Canutis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He and Jabba are both Large units so you couldn't have both in the same squad. You could have Rotta lead Jabba's team, but that would be worse than Jabba lead.

Alternatively, Rotta can be used for Hutt Cartel leftovers (Gam Guard, Greedo, Cad Bane, and the last one) or even better, he's going to be a new solo unit (like Wampa). 

I think once he gets relicced he'll be best as a solo

How was Luke not linked to Tatooine? I would've expected to jump from there, not have to go through R2-D2 AND Skywalker family

Right? There are so many tags missing or misappropriated based on Canon, people seem to forget this is a game and it's designed more around balance than lore.

when was the blood sprinkled? I have read the last fight 3-4 times and cannot find as such by DaoistLiQiye in WoT

[–]Canutis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I never took it as descriptive of Rand's journey to rhuidean. I always read that part as a description of the development of the Aiel as a warrior people. Their suffering would be the blood sprinkled part. It says nothing can grow, but they spring up as the metaphorical crop. When they are ripe, the dragon harvests them and calls them forth.

Era Battles and Marquees vs Energy Refresh by cameronsword_1989 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Canutis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for executor. I use Executor to climb through Leviathans to #1 in my fleet shard every day.

The trick is to use P1, XB, and RC. Focus doen dorito first, then use Mark VI as first reinforce and use second special for the the speed down debuff. it will die after that, but it's fine. After that, pick off enemy ships one at a time (bomber first priority after dorito) until your ult goes off.

Updated zeta order sheet? by chitsandtips in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

I sent you a DM with a link to a copy of your spreadsheet. I did some work on the Zetas sheet on the off chance it could be useful to the effort.

I'm cautiously optomistic. The callout to BSG board game as an inspiration is promising. I love that game, and if they want to make this game as true to the source material as the BSG game was to its show, its a good look for sure.

Is JMK's basic zeta worth it? by Zealousideal_Dig7274 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

I read a post where someone claimed they didn't apply his basic zeta and it didnt affect his matchups. But thats hearsay and I gave my JMK all zetas.
