are relic barriers ruining the game?

They deleted the only raid that had a relic barrier. I'm not sure what you mean.

I am talking about how the new raid has relic barriers for different tiers of the raid. I was under the impression that you could increase tiers to improve your score, but I am unable to use the same team because all the characters are not relic (x).

Example - I can cap points for Teir 4 with a Jabba team, but I cannot try Tier 5 because my tram isn't fully R7

The incremental gates and rewards are arguably better than a hard barrier for entry where you get no rewards if you don't finish. I think it's a vast improvement as far as being player friendly. I know this doesn't look like much but this team helped me get a better personal crate.



It's nothing to write home about but it's definitely not nothing, especially considering the almost total lack of investment in this team.

Now if you were capping with that team with ease, but had to spend months of investment to get to the next tier and hold off everything else you were doing, would you do it?

Getting 200k+ with gear 11 and 12s isn't hard, but getting full teams to R7 when you are maxed out at R5 is a lot harder. Why are the relic barriers to increase tiers even there?

I'm confused how I was able to use my 5-star G9 Boussh but not my 3-star G11 Tusken Chief and 3-star G10 Tusken Warrior. I didn't see a star requirement.

@Screerider theres a 5* req. it’s on the raid page.



I mind the 5* req less than a gear requirement as it means I can at least try teams on tier 0, and 5* is less than half the way to 7*

Not sure what I did wrong with Jawas then. I got nowhere near that

My g8-9 jawas with bad mods from years ago were getting around 150k. I could probably push more if I had changed mods and I'm sure the relic Jawa could help. Good rng with thermals could also matter (I'd see fluctuations of the dragon getting anywhere from 14-22 on his AoEs).

Ah, thanks! I looked all over the place and must have missed it.
