Does "Area Power" as seen in guild management ever go down?

A few weeks ago I used to beat node 12 in Galactic War about 50% of the time I tried it. The other 50% of the time I get "the impossible team". My arena power at the time was about 40K.

I saw a bunch threads talking about "easy node 12" and thought this might be the solution. I followed the advice in those threads, I took my top 5 characters in power, a very unlikely team of tanks and healers with no synergy, but about 46K in arena power, found an easy opponent and beat them in arena. Now in guild management my arena power shows 46K. According to the theory, this should make node 12 be easy.

This did have a very dramatic effect. Is node 12 easy? I don't know. Now I get "the impossible team" almost every time on node 6. In three weeks I have not made it past node 9. Every node 1-9 is significantly harder.

So, can I do anything to fix this? For the last few weeks, I am back to using my normal sith team with about 40K for arena and my arena power in guild management still reads 46K. Will it adjust on its own after a few more weeks or am I just stuck with horrible Galactic war for the next 6 months until I get stronger?

    I believe the Guild management screen keeps your highest squad power used for a win.
    I went to lower power team and ran it for almost a month before I could 7* the whole team and it always showed my last high power.
  • The easy node 12 is unmistakable. It's 5 toons with gear ranging from green to blue.

    To answer your overall question though, they "rebalanced" Galaxy War. It's impossibly hard for everyone in my guild since the most recent update. Whereas I didn't lose a GW for months, I've now only won about 50%. My squad power is roughly 49k. I've never heard a concrete answer on what drives GW difficulty, but people see the easy node anywhere from 46-47k power. I don't know whether your trick to boost power will affect it or not though.

    Link to the reddit detailing how Guild Management Arena Power is the metric for calculating GW opponents.
