How do my maxed out characters get one-shot...

Need more input... Are the characters getting one-shot tanks or glass cannons?

Speed thing I got no answer for ya.

OP is exaggerating, however we all know the damage to HP ratios in this game make no sense what-so-ever and are not that far off from what the OP indicated.

I have a full jedi QGJ lead team and Phasma lead teams outrun me in the first round??? Thats really what pisses me of!! It rarely happens but it sucks when it does.

Is your team like QGJ(L), JKG, Plo Koon, Ahsoka and Mace? Because this is the only way for it

Either that or he didn't max his leader ability and gear which can explain it. Some exaggeration assumed.

they do more dmg and often one shot my maxed characters before mine even get to act in the 1st round?

You cannot be serious saying that. Either your gear is lower, or you need a pair of glasses. Seriously though, there is no way that a 5* Lumi can one shot a 7* lumi or sid.

Well maybe not strictly one-shot. But 2HKO'd before they can even act, as explained in OP.

One shot is not the same as two shot

My point is the math is off. Plus what's the point of maxing out certain characters when they can still be killed before even getting to act?

There is a simple answer to this. The AI in GW has a huge advantage. I don't know how anyone that has spent extensive time playing can't see this. The AI opponent almost always has everything go perfect for itself.

Toons that you could normally kill with a certain series of moves are almost always left with that sliver of red so that you either have to waste one more turn to finish them off, or they get healed, or get one last shot in on you. If you really pay attention you will see that it often doesn't matter if you switch a higher damage char to be the assist. You will either do the exact same amount of damage as before or you will suddenly get dodged.

You almost never get a big critical hit when you need it to finish off an enemy char. The AI crits at a very high rate. The AI dodges at a very high rate. A squad that I would absolutely wipe the floor with in arena and walk out with all my toons at nearly full health can somehow manage to give me fits in GW, kill my toons, and so on.

I could almost predict to you what will happen on almost every move in GW. Sid is almost dead and his turn meter is almost full, your next toon up is a Jedi, don't plan on hitting him about 90% of the time. Some other toon is almost dead and all you need is a critical hit to take them down, nope, not happening. Your own toon is below half health, your healer is up next and the AI needs a critical hit to take them down, count on it!

For those of you that don't believe this, try something... Bring in a mirror image of the AI squad, mimic their moves. That should make it a really close match right? Even if your squad is more stars, level, gear, etc... You will notice that the AI squad somehow can take your chars down faster. They get some nice crits, you don't, they get some dodges, you don't. It's uncanny.

Bent Wookie can bring out Pikachu if he wants to. Nobody will ever convince me that GW isn't formatted to give the AI an edge.

I dare say I've played this game as much as most who post in the forum. I never auto battle GW, and always do all the challenges every day. And my experience is that I get the advantage just as often as the AI does.

The fact of the matter is that, we can beat 60 (12 * 5) characters with a collection of 5-10 characters.

In what universe can you do that? Have you read up the GW section lately?

I have 20+ lv70 characters and I can't beat GW every night. Because I don't have hours to play the game every day. GW is all about suicide squads and retrying. There's no strategy involved at all.

How often can your Poe expose the entire enemy team, if at all?

How often do your Daka and Dooku do doubt stuns, again if at all?

How often do your Daka and Elder revive?

How often does your Phasma get assist attack?
