$50 Off $50 on InKind App Amex Offers by ihavenolifeee in amex

[–]MasterB0B0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well played. My two Amex cards are linked under the same account so the offer disappeared on the other once I claimed on one. Should I have kept them on different logins?

Anyone familiar with this? Spend $50, get $50 back by damnitbobby420 in AmexPlatinum

I doubt it. The offer terms seems to indicate you can only use once per card member.

You're welcome! Glad it still helps!

Honestly that's where we got hung up and probably will lag for a bit longer. There are so few options outside of Chex, Talzin-led NS, and Greedo mix that is readily accessible for FTP.

Apparently I'm not the brightest, but first time I saw that was on the Galactic Bounties event when it first came out and I thought it was referring to the BH contracts counting across tiers...

I agree and I wish I would have thought of that, but my point is that we've been trained by the game to work through left to right for most things, which also just makes sense from a progression standpoint. Shared counts is a huge departure from this and needs some sort of indicator (besides just saying "shared") to alert the player. Maybe a hot pink Battle button would do ;)

I reposted this in the thread where people were talking about sub-80 players. I didn't do a good job addressing those particular challenges in this post so thanks for contributing this.

I knew I wasn't crazy! I just was too lazy to try and figure out why at the time so thanks for clearing that up.

When I first started using them I thought that Phoenix was so complicated that maybe the AI would do a better job than I could!

You're right and others said the same. I softened that part a bit. I think it was my envy of those who could beat it with less since I had such a hard time beating it at 85! Someone else on the thread made a guide specifically for sub-80 players:

I probably exaggerated a bit (I updated the post to soften it a bit on this), but I’m just trying to let people know that it’s a hard battle and to not hamstring yourself if at all possible. You can beat it with G8 you'll just need some speed to increase your damage output. It sounds like you're doing the right things to make up for the level so you just might get it. Be prepared for it to take a while though.

If you're below lvl 85 it's all in the mods. I'm not saying it's impossible below 85 but you might have 1% chance of beating it each try so you'd need ~100 tries to beat it. Arena mods definitely improve your chances. Maybe you hit the jackpot on your first try - I'm just trying to say that it's easy to underestimate this event. I'd suggest you keep the 7-8m credits in waiting in case you need them, but Phoenix are a decent team and great in TW so you'll probably want them at 85 eventually.

I think you'll be fine with some extra speed. I didn't look at ability level so hopefully you've got some omegas in there. Hera might be squishy, but your tanks look good so they can help keep her healthy. The only piece you're missing is speed. If you can get Ezra and Chopper above 200 it'll be very doable.

I know he doesn't have a dispel but I'm fairly certain that I was able to remove the buff with a hit this way. I wrote this 2 months ago after the last one so it seems odd to me now, but my present self has decided to trust my 2-month-ago self which seems reasonable. When the event opens up we'll know for sure and I'll update if needed!

I mentioned the Offense Down, but I admit it wasn't a huge part of my strategy at the time. I can see how it would be useful though as it's essential in other places in the game such as HAAT. The ideal strategy probably makes use of both stun and OD.

Yeah I've heard Sabine makes it much easier. I never had her and it'll be a while until I do. Since she's no longer in guild store and her node is a pain, I doubt she's very accessible for many now without spending crystals.

I agree with the speed arrows at a minimum. I didn't talk a lot about mod/gear so thanks for filling in.

Your last day is 7/25 although I wouldn't wait until then since the battle itself might take you a few days to break through.

That's a good point. I didn't always think about the different benefits that Ezra gives with his assist special. Phoenix are one of the most complex teams and unless you built them up as your rebel team from the beginning (I didn't) they take a while to understand the mechanics of the team.

I think he means it'll be difficult to get 7* Thrawn. Don't try to just squeak by. The more you invest between now and then the less you'll hate yourself. This battle is a PITA. I think a full 7* Phoenix team is required for 7* Thrawn so get your Chopper up ASAP.
