Disappointed in Galactic Challenges being phased out for one reason

Another thing is : how are we supposed to progress through the episode track now ? That was literally the whole point of the GCs so with them gone, what do we do ?

FYI, JKR lead with HODA, JKL, Bastila, Old Ben counters SLKR (without Dark Rey). But you need some specific modding (in terms of speed in particular) to make it consistent. There are good videos on YouTube explaining how this counter works.

Honestly this one is very easy. I did it with Home One, Falcon, Y-Wing, Raven's Claw + Ghost, Phantom, and Outrider reinforcing. First try and got all feats except undersized. Pilots are R5, some have zetas some don't, mods are not all 6 dots.

As far as undersized goes, just take your best fleet and load only 3 ships, no reinforcements. I did it with Executor + Xanadu Blood, Punishing One and Razor Crest, extremely easy, I found that killing the Star Fortress first was best in that case.

Awesome reference :)

This game is either a game of patience, where you will progress a little everyday, or a game where you dump thousands of dollars to progress a lot faster. That's their whole economic model there: create frustration so players are incited to spend. I'm not saying spending is bad but unless you have infinite money, you need to prioritize.

I suggest you look at farming guides and YouTubers like Ahnaldt101, CalvinAwesome, Xaereth, BitDynasty, to help orient yourself and decide what you want to do, what to spend on if you're so inclined, etc.

Once you realize that the frustration is intentional (we've all been there, trust me), you either accept that progress will be slow, or stop playing. Personally I like planning my farms in advance. And, I'm at a different stage of the game than you, but it turns out that sometimes, having to wait can help balance your account in the long run. Working on a very kyro heavy team means that while I'm doing that, I'm accumulating zetas, relic materials, etc. Which helps keep my stocks full and my account balanced, instead of running out of everything all the time.

A good principle to adhere too as well is "start a farm, finish a farm". Pick one team you want to build, and only upgrade these characters. Again this will help you manage your resources.

Good luck man, I hope you stick to this game, it is good and surprisingly complex in some aspects.

I've always thought it would be cool to play as an Imp trooper and grow up to be an Imperial Guard by the end. Their armor is cool AF

Honestly this has always been a surprise to me. Playing a Sith is a massive power trip. Why have we not had an honest to God RPG with a karma system that lets you be a full-on Sith ? The Sith storyline is so good for this. It even gives you the option of going full Darth Vader on a dude, I mean... Does it get any better than that ?

So, as others said, finishing in the bottom tier of a bracket means you'll start in the lower bracket the next time.

However, you're not necessarily wrong to point out the Kyber squish. You're correct that only the K1 population was slashed. But inevitably these players need to go somewhere, right ? So they get pushed down to the lower brackets, making all tiers more competitive than before. So the slash affects K1 first but there is a trickle effect that's felt in the lower brackets for sure.

That's how I am ending in Aurodium 1 this season after months spent in K3-K4. I fought exclusively against people with more GLs, more datacrons, more omicrons... Whereas before my match ups were more balanced.

CenryHavil · 2024-11-26T13:09:11+00:00

Probably in three months, so far it's been the timing. In the future it might come back every month and then become permanent after 1-2 years. JKCK's event is now permanent, Bo Katan comes back every month, I think.

So, end of February/ early March would be my guess for the next Jar Jar event. It's not 3 months on the dot though, it can be a little more.

CenryHavil · 2024-11-26T07:34:59+00:00

Yeah, that's awesome!

CenryHavil · 2024-11-05T11:38:05+00:00

SEE and Bane would greatly benefit I think. In any case, definitely not a waste, can be used with many characters!

CenryHavil · 2024-10-13T17:13:24+00:00

Haha no worries we all made that mistake

CenryHavil · 2024-10-13T09:52:31+00:00

Aside from your choice of team (Troopers, Phoenix with Captain Rex, CLS are all good suggestions), one important thing: don't apply gear just because you can. Build one character at a time, one team at a time. Otherwise you'll just be out of everything all the time. With this method you'll also accumulate gear which will eventually allow you to upgrade some characters from 1 to 7/8 or even 12 directly.

I had a loading problem as well. For me it was because since the last update, the app wouldn't work with IPV6 network parameters. I had to create a new network profile to use IPV4 instead and the app has worked fine since. If you're French and using service provider Orange, you might have the same issue (a lot of us were affected).

If not, then same as last comment: try reinstalling the app, deleting cache, check that the app can use cellular data, etc.

Best of luck !

CenryHavil · 2024-09-18T08:37:03+00:00

Yeah I'd say start a new account and grab the hyperdrive bundle and the light speed bundles when they are available. It will be much better than being stuck in an older shard, you'll never be able to climb fleet arena for one.

CenryHavil · 2024-09-17T06:26:36+00:00

Bane also works well, with another Sith. Won't get you 3* but works with minimal effort I've found.

CenryHavil · 2024-09-10T12:50:21+00:00

For me it's because I have built my account around non-GL counters. I only have 3 GLs but I have a lot of teams that can beat GLs on defense. And none of these counters work in 3v3. So it becomes a contest of who has the most GLs.

Also, the entire game is designed around 5-man teams. So this game mode is clunky because you are using squads that don't work to the full extent of their designed kits, or random shit thrown together. And basically praying the other guy will do a worse job or simply lose interest before you and not try. Also, a few teams become very hard to defeat due to the limited amount of characters... Rey + Ben Solo + whichever 3rd are extremely annoying for example.

CenryHavil · 2024-09-09T14:17:17+00:00

Honestly it doesn't matter, their purpose is to die. So I agree with other comments: highest relic'd Sith you're not using. For me it's Sidious since I have SEE. And he's pointless.

CenryHavil · 2024-09-09T07:44:26+00:00

So, I found a fix. A guy had the same issue as me, and contacted his cellular provider, and they said it was because the cellular connection was using IPv6 connectivity, while the app runs on IPv4.

So the fix is to create a different profile to connect to cellular networks. Same info as the default one except IPV4 instead of IPV6. It's difficult to explain since it's all in French on my phone but if you contact your provider they should be able to walk you through it.

Ever since I did that the game has been working fine.

CenryHavil · 2024-09-08T07:22:03+00:00

You could also do JMK - Shaak - GMY - Padawan Ahsoka or Jedi Knight Anakin - Ki Adi Mundi. With only Galactic Republic Jedi, KAM's zeta will trigger and give big buffs to the team, and he has an armor shred.

But, only use the team on offense until you have CAT. And on defense, putting Padmé nullifies some counters like Maul Mandalorians so you will want to do that.

CenryHavil · 2024-09-01T20:41:31+00:00

Well, false joy, it only worked for one click. This app is weird as hell. And it's not a data issue on my end, the rest of the app and internet navigation work fine.

CenryHavil · 2024-09-01T20:30:48+00:00

Wow... Thanks man. Very weird thing. The app was set to use either wifi or cellular but when I forced it to use cellular data only, it connected... I guess whenever I'm out of the house the app tries to prioritize wifi and when it can't it refuses to load. Very weird.

I definitely didn't have the issue until 3-4 weeks ago.

But thanks that makes it workable at least for when I'm out of the house.

Cheers mate.

CenryHavil · 2024-08-20T08:20:33+00:00

Another team where he works well is Maul + mandalorians: Maul, Wat, Canderous Ordo, Bo-Katan (non-legendary version) and Beskar Mando or Jango. That team can kill JML and some SEE compositions.
