Cannot complete a Galactic War

Well I got to the 9th node tonight but that was the best I could do. Came up against a rebel squad with Palpatine that smashed my top 6 teams. Until I get more toons to the 80's it seems I am just stuck getting smashed.

I don't even get that far. On node 6 today I got every team killed. That was after throwing a sacrifice team in first.

I have no phonex toons. If that is a requirement to get anywhere why not just state that. How will it take to start now to even get to node 10 let alone 12?

For me GW is utterly broken. This is a feedback section of the forum. Please fix it for players sub 85. Go back to how it was.

Because it's not. There are a number of options. Teams with protection recovery work. zFinn Resistance works because you can prevent the other teams from ever getting turns. But you can't just throw any old combination of random characters and expect to win GW.

I'm giving feedback too. If you have a good team that's based on recovery it's incredibly easy.

Yes Node 6 is tough and it usually messes everyone up. You need to have a plan to heal. Maybe you need to retreat and try it again with a different strategy. Please answer them honestly at least to yourself.

I will ask the questions I ask to many people who complain about galactic wars.

Do you have a good team. Does it synergises well together and hit above its weight in terms of power.
Do you have a way of recovering health and protection.
Do you have a kill order for each node and leave weak characters last so as to give yourself time to recover health protection and cool downs.
Do you have a second and third team of similar power to your first team. Do you give them easy nodes early in the galactic war so that they have turn meter.

I think my answer to most of that would be no. I only have 5 toons over level 80. I have 6 or maybe 7 that are between level 70-75. About a dozen maybe a dozen and a half that are 64-68. Most of them are in the mid 50's, except the 5 new toons I have gotten and they are 40-45. I have some healers. Do not know which toons gain protection other than Phoenix Squad. May have to try and level and star up Phoenix Squad ASAP.

One last question. Do you have enough levelled and geared scoundrels to reliably complete tier iv credit heist. From your levels I'm going to guess that you don't. The extra credits would really make a big difference in making your people competitive for galactic war.

I'm guessing you don't have the legendary characters - Thrawn, R2, BB8? I'm also guessing you don't have any zetas?

BTW, you seem very focused on level, but gear level is much more important in general than character level.

Earlier he indicated that phoenix was 4 stars. Doubtful he has Thrawn. And herein is the problem with GW. It's relatively easy once your roster is filled out nicely to select teams that have synergy against who you are facing.

But the reality of players leveling up to 85 now, or very soon, will have a tough time against opponents that are significantly stronger. Pre update, I was able to finish, but not very often. One overpowered team and I was done. Post update, I'm about 60% able to finish.

Not as of yet. I am doing tier 3 I believe. It is the one for 1.25 million credits. I am trying to 7*, level up, work on abilities, and gear up my scoundrels. Have gotten 2 of them over level 70 and the others to levels 64 to 66. All of them are now 5-6*, gear 7, and all of them have 5th level abilities. It may not seem like much but most of them were level 45-50, not starred up from when I got them (except Chewbacca), ability level 3, and gear level 4. I am trying to work on them as well as my strongest toons. Just trying to get back into learning the game and figure out what my best options are.

No on both counts. Most of my 60 plus toons are gear level 7 and 8. My strongest toons are gear level 9 and 10.
