Confirmed - GW will break at 36k Arena power
I'd read various posts from people reporting at which point their GW became unplayable in relation to their Arena power. Some people as low as 34k said they were now facing nothing but Meta squads fro...

I guess my experience is not typical. Am at 37.5k power in arena and I do face arena-level teams in my last 4 to 6 nodes. However, I have never reached a point where I was seriously worried I would not finish the GW. It may have to do mostly with the type of team I run - a Dooku(L), Phasma, Fives, Rey and RG control team that manages to avoid taking a lot of damage until well into the 7th or 8th node. From there, it is a matter of substituting characters out as they reach the yellow mark, bringing in Barris and other healers, and muscling through to the finish line. Doesn't take me more than about 30-40 minutes to go through the 12-node gauntlet.
I can see, however, that if your lineup is different, with a focus on healing and DPS instead of control, you will lose toons in a hurry. As with the Yoda event, I guess the developers didn't expect it to be THAT hard, even if GW was meant to be a challenge. Also, for the challenge that it is, the rewards don't seem to be all that great anymore. I do hope the next update brings (a) an easier GW; (b) better rewards per node; or (c) both, with an option to play GW without enemy protection, giving you normal rewards, or with enemy protection, giving you double rewards.
