I still disagree with that last part. I run a Bariss lead and fast characters (QGJ, Rey, GS). The bonus HP prevents them from being auto killed (outside of bad RNG, it still happens, but the AI has to focus fire one person multiple times with assists). The bonus healing from Bariss and Lumi keep my DPS up enough to just kill their team in a focus fire.

I have no problems at all (for now! again, not lvl 80 yet). My toons can plow through protection and hp and usually can kill 1 or 2 people before the enemy gets to move. I do struggle slightly with Old Ben or Dooku lead evasion teams, but Bariss/Lumi keep my team going strong. I havent had to replace GS with my JC in a long time for that every other turn bonus healing.

I run Barriss, lumi, QGJ, Rey, Leia

So what happened in my last battle. The enemy was ben, GS, rey, QGJ, RG.

I hit Rey as hard as I could. One attack missed. The next hit knocking her into Yellow not killing her so RG procked, but before it got to my QGJ again Ben hit his skill and ability blocked me. So I am stuck hitting Ben.
QGJ smacks my Rey a bit. GS fires into Rey and their Rey finishes it off. So I now am missing my biggest DPS character.

I have two options. Continue on knowing that it is likely I wont finish because I am missing part of my team or close the app down and try again hoping for better RNG. Well always has to be the latter and a game just isnt fun if you have to keep doing the same thing for better RNG.

@Whiteroom
Like I said, bad RNG happens. I don't see Ben nearly as much as I see Dooku, so our experiences may differ. Either way, those battles are the only ones that generally give me any grief, but its a slight bump in the road instead of being the brick-wall people say they are running into.

I will sometimes swap my GS for RG or replace Bariss with Dooku as a leader if I need too, but I havent needed to do so for the past week or so. Old Ben's ability is good, but he can't really use it when he is stunned (Dooku/RG). Sure, RNG may still say no, but you have a better chance of bypassing that one bump and then go right back to Bariss lead and keep going.

I think as more people farm Old Ben it might become more of a problem, but Dooku leads don't give me near the trouble and I see him a LOT more than ben.

You sure? miss, rey does 20k. If you want to preserve your squad for the next node, that's not happening. old ben is super frustrating, but at least you can somewhat refresh cooldowns on him.

10x agree, in moba gaming where people use meta champion with simple know-how to use it they start snowballing for the rest of a match, swgoh in other hand is long-term game, any single silly toon require amount of effort and time same as everybody, but this powercreep presences ruin all the fun or/and even possible to drove away potential(profitable) player whom hurting dev/publisher sale sooner or later.

Is it just me, or GW has become:

1. Too much time and effort to complete a full run
2. The last couple of battles are ridiculously difficult
3. Rewards are not worth the time and effort

It's just become a total drag to do it daily and no longer fun at all. What's everyone elses experience?

Actually its been easier since I hit 76 or so.. It was harder in early 70's, but still doable. I actually did GW with 7 characters yesterday and only had to replace 2 of them for the last battle. It varies from day to day, mostly I have to use 2 full teams but not more than that.

It takes like 30 maybe 40 minutes, it is a chore but not tedious, I find it fun because each squad is different, same composition in many cases but different leaders and RNG makes it interesting.

Rewards not worth the effort? LOL seriously they give you like 600K credits or something, I get like a bunch of credits like 1300 for free shards. I convert those shards in the shard shop to get Grievous upgraded.

The rewards for GW are better than anything else, what do you want a free 4* character drop at the end?

Learn how to add up before posting!

@Zekex
Dooku and RG both move before Old Ben, giving you two opportunities to stun him before his turn.

Or you could attempt to stun Rey.

I have come across Ben teams before, but there is usually a quick solution. It's not as hard as he is making it out to be.

So.. Yea.. I am pretty sure.

164 speed and daka's stun isn't reliable. you can put daka in the assisting position but its fairly unreliable, you have to tinker a lot until you get the right setup and RNG

Consecutive teams of ben/dooku/aa led teams will whittle your characters down,screw your cds. you do know how fast a 35-39k+ arena dps squad can whittle your team down right?

Please link me to your profile so I know that you are at least in the 37k power range. No point discussing things with someone who has not experienced what I'm going through.

.

Yesterday I fought an all Nightsister team on the last node. That was the most fun I have had in GW in over a month. It's so boring now. Same 9 toons repeated in different combinations.

So I think you hit the nail on the head here. You get the occasional team like that which gives grief. I now have majority of the nodes like that so nearly every node I have to restart it 3+ times because need to get pretty much perfect RNG. Just makes it last far too long and isnt fun.

iirc , this was when i was 36-37k+ power. I didn't screenshot the other nodes because I never thought the entire GW would be hard. I pray hard for non meta squad compositions. Sometimes i get a break when lady luck shines on me. Even then they are mostly gear 9 toons.

And this is an example of a node where I can take a "break". As long as they are non meta toons, I'm fine.

I love all the mid 70s people defending gw lol

Just wait...

last days complete gw took me less than 20 minutes, hk lead with omegad leadingability, ig86+88 accompanied all 7star lvl80 g9/g10, together with - first 8 nodes 4star JE or 2 star GS (65+70 lvl, both g8) + 75 g9 7* poggle, than switch JE/GS for Lumi (77 g8 7*) and when hitting node 10/11 switch in RG (g9 80 6*)

protection gets lost for complete team at node 8-9 (droid base) as they are bloody quick :)
