Grand Arena Completely Unfair Matchups

Can someone please explain to me why I’m going against players that have 30+ relic characters while I have zero in grand arena? It’s clear as day these players paid for their teams while I didn’t and feel as if it is completely unfair and yet another way these terrible developers screw people over in this game.

  • Getting characters to relic level takes time, it's not easy if you are f2p, if you want relic easy, than spend money and even than it's not easy. Nothing in this game happens overnight. Farming is a grind. Upgrade 1 or 2 characters at a time to relic, the more you try to relic at once the slower the process. Try to Relic leaders of teams first, than the rest of team. Good luck, find your small victories to keep you going during the grind. Try to be better than the guy next to you, not the superstar in kyber 1 and you will be fine.

    In the past GAC format your GAC matches were locked in via GP brackets. Where your roster choices and skill heavily influenced the outcome of every match. Which resulted in hyper focused GAC rosters, who would fighter other equally focus rosters making for some of the most amazing gameplay.


    Every forum posts complaining about previous matchmaking and my numerous easy victories in the old system (and there was a lot of both) beg to differ.

    Only you know why you don’t have any relic characters. Perhaps you should get some geared up, rather than casting shade on people who’ve geared their roster up? (Hint - you can do it for free)


    Bro I’ve been grinding and I simply don’t have the resources yet to have any relic characters? Like I’m sorry I do play this game for free and don’t have the resources to get reliced characters yet? People like you shouldn’t be leaving comments man. Like I wonder why I don’t have relic characters? Hmmm let me think, maybe because I haven’t had the resources to get them and play the game as free to play game instead of spending tons of money on this game which I’m clearly going up against and it’s clear as day. Don’t comment on a post like this again unless you have something useful to contribute.


    I get your frustration over these issue, i myself didn't like it, but as the game developed i changed my farming methods, you have it easier now than most of us did when the game started out, the accelerated drop rates, Assault battles, galactic Challenges, all these ways are new in the last 2-3 years (it may be more but i'm not a historian).

    The method you are suggesting to base it off GP was tried previously and as stated by others it was messy. People would actively not gear up characters, hell, not even unlock them because it bloated their roster and moved them within reach of higher rosters, so you had this situation whereby people would strip mods off loads of characters to not be above a specific threshold.

    As has been stated by other people here, there are a number of ways you can get to relic, Guilds are a great way to get mods and currency for gear and relic materials. guilds also get you access to raids and territory battles and wars which again give you loads of rewards including crystals, datacron materials, credits, and gear, not to mention the guild currency as well which can be used for characters, relic materials and gear.

    With regards to what someone else said here about focusing on characters, this can be a bit of an art, for example you want to have a lot of good teams however, there are some teams that only need 1 character to be geared up high, the key example i can think of is Qui Gon Jinn with his Omicron. i've seen a number of people have the omicron on Qui Gon, but he is gear 4, and the rest of the toons are not much better, except for Jedi Knight Anakin, he would be at Relic 7 as he is a requirement for a GL, but he is the main threat from the QGJ team as his damage when QGJ is killed sky rockets, and he also gains bonus turns when other Jedi get to low health or die

    Finally i would mention that if you have a low GP things do move slower because you have less access to events etc, so things will be slow, however as you build your roster more you will get more and more events you can take part in and by extension get more rewards that give you more stuff. Just imagine a snowball on a mountain, it starts of small and not much of a threat, but as it goes on its journey it gets bigger and bigger until it is a real threat, same thing can apply here.

    sorry i do understand this is a long reply but it was necessary to give you the information
