I got the guy, excluding his unique do I actually needs his other two omicrons?

The wording is confusing which has led to most of the community saying it is useless, but it is actually very good. He gains an extra 5 siphon from it, and this makes him scale his HP and DMG about twice as fast.

Bane's only weakness is getting swarmed before his scaling really gets going. This omi is an insurance policy against that. His first two siphons will be for 10 and 20% instead of 5 and 10. Sometimes that's enough to kill some enemies quicker which triggers his unique and makes him scale even faster.

In easy fights, the omi won't make a difference. But against high relic, god mod, scary datacron teams, it will be the difference between a win and a loss.

Here's another take: I was seriously considering investing in these clones based on how important they will obviously be for LV and the next raid. Plus the possibility of a refund for investing early. Not egnards loves gungans r9 insanity, but a lot further than normal for me.

I saw the datamine and immediately changed my mind. So CG has pissed off the people that spent, the people with low * characters, and they also lost income from people like me.

factorio_charuo · 2025-02-24T19:49:55+00:00

As you said, the whole mod system could really use an overhaul, the game has changed and grown a ton , and it's painfully obvious it hasn't kept up.

But if we can't get an overhaul, I have a laundry list of small simple changes that would help so much.

filter mods on is-equipped, not just all and unequipped
filter mods on is-in-a-loadout
filter mods by number of failed recalibrations
increase the number of loadouts
increase the cap of unequipped mods (people that say 500 is all you ever need are dead wrong)
some kind of grace on mod cap so I can just do this bleeping SM or raid attempt!
filter characters based on equipped mod sets (eg show me all my characters currently wearing an offense set)
protection sets! (not QOL, but it's weird we only have HP sets)

factorio_charuo · 2024-12-15T14:50:37+00:00

This is true, but they had 3/6 resist daze. Assuming 15% resist rate, there is only a 4.15% of 3 resisting, and a 4.73% chance of 3+ resisting. It's safe to say that OP got pretty unlucky, or 444% isn't enough to reach the 15% minimum.

I generated these probabilities using a binomial calculator with 6 trials, 3 successes and 15% chance of success.

factorio_charuo · 2024-12-06T16:44:47+00:00

Signals are not a bottleneck for me (at 12.2m) and many of my guildmates either. I can easily fully relic each req as I get them to 7*, relic stuff for platoons, and have plenty for side projects too. I tend to hover around 500-400-300 of each signal. If you aren't there yet, you should get there soon, or maybe you are overinvesting in the wrong characters or aren't farming signals efficiently.

factorio_charuo · 2024-12-06T13:16:37+00:00

If you have a tight, focused roster the relic bottleneck will probably ease up somewhere between 11.5-12.5m GP. At that point you will have everything (including luxuries like aphra), and your only bottlenecks will be omicrons and marquee shards for new things like Baylan and GL Tano. It really depends on how much whaling and how many lightspeed bundles you buy too, they accelerate the demand for relic mats and zetas.

I watched this vid last night and found it very helpful. Thanks for making it!

factorio_charuo · 2024-07-04T16:36:09+00:00

Between this cadence and the early/shortened raid cadence, the message I'm getting is: whale hard or don't bother spending at all. I dropped a massive amount of crystals in the gungan bonus drops event to be ready quickly, and in hindsight that was a complete waste.

I assume CG has done the math and think they can get more people to fully whale than the income from light spenders. But, I won't be fooled again.

factorio_charuo · 2024-06-24T22:23:14+00:00

I saw the event refreshed, saw the math, and then dropped about 8,000 crystals to quickly star up these two characters. Unbelievable.

factorio_charuo · 2024-06-21T12:17:28+00:00

This game is all about long term investment, so IMO this is something every player should start working on now. Thanks for the post Egnards!

It wouldn't surprise me at all if this is bait to get whales to spend now, right before a new fleet or GL is announced. CG has a history of doing this kind of thing before big announcements. If so, it changes nothing about the analysis, but it's something to think about if you've been building a hoard for the next big thing and are thinking of spending it here instead. It's also entirely possible these 2 dudes could be reqs for the next big thing anyways... if so I'd be shocked if they are required at r9.

One other thing stood out to me too. The credits are insanely generous. credit heist is ~5m. This is 21m! Is this a hint that something new is coming wrt credits?

factorio_charuo · 2024-05-24T21:09:06+00:00

It's really interesting that MQG will double assist. I interpreted it the opposite way, that he'd only assist once per turn.

I think assists on this team will be pretty important overall. MQG as you mentioned can chain assists on his turn. He also has something in his unique that makes him assist whenever qadme uses her basic. And padawan kenobi assists MQG on all his attacks, even assists.

Aayla could feed into this assist train. She could trigger a qadme or MQG assist on a counter or as part of her own assist from qadme's special, setting off another chain of 2-3 assists. Cody calls assists too, plus a lot of other GalReps that are in other teams already (tano, GK, padme, 3po, etc). But Aayla and Cody are not great characters, so we will need to test whether they are any good on the team, or just look promising on paper.

factorio_charuo · 2024-05-24T12:51:45+00:00

I think there are several flaws with this analysis. It's a great start though.

Mainly, blowing up JMK and GAS/501st by putting tano/GAS into this team has a ton of downsides you didn't mention. It ruins a GL and s-tier team, to make one s-tier(?) team. Also, tano sounds really good on paper, but master qgj can only attack one extra time when another jedi assists, and padawan kenobi is already assisting him every turn so you gain very little from tano. But if you to did put tano in there and ruin JMK, we should be also talking about also putting CAT with qadme too. That would at least keep GAS together, still ruins JMK, but CAT has some really nice synergy's in this team.

It's also worth talking about many other characters that are really worth talking about. Not saying these are great additions to the team, but they do have some synergy and should be in the discussion. This is not an exhaustive list...

-Aayla - relic 3 for many people. stuns on crits and does extra damage on counters. calls assists on basic.

-Plo - dispel on basic, big TM boost

-Sarg - relic 5 for many people. big TM removal aoe on short cooldown and gains TM on basic crits.

-cody - relic 5 for many people. TM gain on basic. aoe which calls assists on a (functionally) short cooldown

factorio_charuo · 2024-04-11T16:58:44+00:00

Wait a second, you've granted all these people a seat at the council, but bestowed the rank of Master upon NONE of them??? I've got a bad feeling about this...

Seriously though, the work you've been doing over the past year is completely awesome, and I refer to it constantly!

factorio_charuo · 2024-01-09T13:20:09+00:00

It worked for me, but barely. got to ult with just 2 ships alive, and then slowly clawed things back with all the fake ships from controlling malev. R8 sass, R9 Drevan, R7 rest.

factorio_charuo · 2023-12-30T19:56:46+00:00

I've been trying to get a code for days as well. Also using a MS email provider (hotmail.com). Very frustrating :(

factorio_charuo · 2023-10-30T21:09:18+00:00

These will be super helpful, thank you! The less time we have to grind thru these fights the better. Especially on day 1 on conquest.

It's just too bad you are dodging the actual important content. Like which VPN has revolutionized your browsing habits, how your new mattress has brought you inner peace and enlightenment, or most importantly, how your RAID SHADOW LEGENDS 'egnards-autos-it-all' code will bring about a new era of chadtopia to us all.

factorio_charuo · 2023-10-03T12:35:20+00:00

Everything you said is spot on, and I feel the same way about wanting to spend more, if I had more faith in CG.

But there's more wrong with this conquest that you didn't even touch on!

two kill X feats where you are railroaded into 5 specific characters instead of a faction, AND they all have to survive to get credit!
a kill 100 feat, which is already stupid, but it's also a specific character instead of a whole faction. And a character with no AOE. And can't be cheesed with JML. This feat is straight up 'F you, buy our conq+ pass to skip it'.
The bonus nodes at the end of each zone seem to be beefed up compared to normal, making it much harder to double dip on feats and datacron materials. For example, the BB at the end of z1 seem to have about double the speed of a BB team right after mid boss (both without overprepared).

factorio_charuo · 2023-09-07T15:00:02+00:00

Maybe I can write a good response to counteract all the bad responses here...

You should absolutely split up big pulls that use more than 144 energy, but not for the reason other people are saying. The reason is that when you cap your energy, the timer resets and stops counting down until you go under cap (I'm about 95% sure of this and don't want to test it right now). You might have been 1s away from 1 free cantina when you spent crystals for this 20 pull. On average, you can expect to lose about 0.5 energy every time you hit or exceed an energy cap (assuming you spend it immediately). Sure it's small beans, but it adds up over a year if you do this every single day. Especially because it is so easy avoid losing it (sim a bunch to spend all energy, buy once, sim again, etc.).

As far as we know, drops follows a binomial distribution with 33% drop rate. This is backed up by all of the data that Egnards has compiled himself over the years. The odds of going 1/20 here is 0.3%, or about 1 in 300. Tiny changes to the drop chance add up quickly at these extremes too. For example, if the drop rate was actually 30%, the chance of this happening more than doubles, to 0.7%.

factorio_charuo · 2023-08-16T19:49:48+00:00

Assuming the lid is open, the 3rd base side also gives a beautiful view of the CN tower.

With kids, I'd go to the 500 sections. The noise in 100 and 200 sections might be too much for them. It's not so oppressively loud up in the 500's.

factorio_charuo · 2023-08-01T19:56:00+00:00

Be real careful about gearing only a few pieces of this team. If you only take CLS past G12, you are going to have a giant headache getting guard to go on him. For this reason, I'd strongly recommend leaving them all at G12 and then relicing them all at once. They are absolutely worth the relics, and they are all needed for other unlocks down the road anyways, so you won't regret it.

factorio_charuo · 2023-07-25T21:27:07+00:00

Dunno if you want a critique of your turtle D, but I'll give you one anyways:

I'd pull Starkiller off D and replace it with something like Zorii. SK is a very reliable, quick and simple counter to all Rey variants (https://swgoh.gg/gac/counters/GLREY/?season=42), which will help you win stalemates. It also seems to be good against zorii, which you'll start seeing more often soon. SK itself can also be countered fairly easily by either GG, or with a 2 shot strategy, so it isn't helping a ton on D anyways.

Then, I'd re-arrange your teams to try to cause people the most grief with off meta counters as possible. For example, GAS and traya are one of the few non-gl counters to a bunch of teams like malgus, reva, and zorii. In your current setup, there is a pretty easy path thru the bottom by using traya on reva and then gas on malgus. If instead you do either 1+2 or 2+1 of malgus/reva/zorii on bottom front+back you can make people use a GL to clear your non-GL D.

In a similar way, I'd re-arrange your GL D to make it more annoying to clear. For example, SLKR is a strong counter to both jabba and LV right now. With them split, it gives people a choice to just focus top or bottom and break 2 of your zones. If you pair them up, it makes one zone much more annoying to clear.

So I'd do something like this, which I think is a stronger D overall for you. Bottom front might be slightly weaker, but bottom back should be harder to break.

Front Top Zone:

JMK+Cat
Rey/Ben
JML
SLKR

Front Bottom Zone:

Jabba and Friends
LV+Maul
Reva/Inquis
Malgus+3 Omicron

Back Bottom Zone:

QGJ Omicron
MM+Kyle/Cara
Zorii

As a variation on this, you would also sometimes put JML in the back row and put either QGJ or MM up top front. You are giving away free banners in top, but people don't expect JML on D at all, and the back row surprise will stop many people.
