First 7* I've seen in the wild. The team comp is a bit of a headscratcher, especially for someone who has access to any character at 7 stars. Was able to dismantle this team in 2 minutes with a basic droid build. I don't plan on farming Grievous any time soon, and for the whales among us who already have him, I'm truly sorry :neutral:

Sigh, He is not using him right. and your not facing one that is T8+ T7 takes 140 mats 50 of those are the nightmare hair dryers.

Still my fav and still putting 100% resources into farming him. Will be a long road and all progress on pause till then but thats the way they made him :(

So you dismantled a team on offense against the shoddy AI's defense, good work brah, a lot of characters suck with the AI.

It's almost as standard as your droid team as GG has droid synergies. Daka is the go to healer for many droid teams because her revive helps keep the squishies alive.

The real reason why it went so easy is because you were running very identicle teams. If he switched Poe for Daka and his Poe taunted first, he'd get his aoes off first. I don't think this was so much a reflection of his performance as much as it was the problem with the meta.

Also, your aoes, poggles offense up, poes taunt won you the match. I'm sure there are things the other team could have done (mirroring you) that would have changed things. I would have gotten rid of Daka and 86 and added Poe and poggle. Would've made that team much more scary.

Good points - I haven't seen Daka with droids all too often but I'll take your word for it. The fact that I was using Poe as well as playing against the terrible AI system definitely made it very easy.

I would still have expected a character with the insane price and prestige/appeal of Grievous to have more of a game-breaking set of abilities.

It's hard to see but he actually is gear level 8. I went back and looked at the original resolution screenshot.

Best of luck to you on your journey! One more person farming a non-meta character means one less Sidious/Phasma/Luminara out there, which is always a good thing.

I use sid an lumi on arena team haha sids one of my fav characters also and i always liked lumi. I dont chase the meta. I see no fun in using filler characters from the franchise like geo soldier. Thats not why i am a star wars fan and play star wars games. Its all about the light sabers no matter how cruddy CG makes force users compared to filler characters. I wont conform

I'm actually having great success with my 7 star grevious. Again - AI is terrible.

He is terrible, not wonderful implies he is at least semi good, which he isnt. He sucks

The leader ability is very simple, what fo you mean "see it at play"

He is a waste of a spot, so his leader ability would need to do a whole lot more than it does to make it worth using him as leader.

Ill never get Greivous, but if I did i wouldntwaste gear or ability mats ln him. Truly stupid, sinc3 a. He is basically impossible to get without spending literally over $1k USD. And b. he is an amazing general for the Seperatists and that she be reflected in the game.

At this point, I expect it lol.

Despite so many bad decisions and such by the creators of this game, i still dig it. I wish they would be less blinded by money. At least thats what it seems like. I love the game despite all that though. Although I think they are on a path to ruin it for a lot of people, myself included.

Yoda is also terrible when played by the AI. Not surprising.
I still think I'll start to farm him after the update

EDIT: some people seem to be doing ok

He was a terrible idea for a character in the movie too, lol! Oh wait. Scratch that. The prequels in general (no pun intended) were god awful...
