I've never been a huge fan of conquest as many players seem to feel the same way. I find little motivation to progress beyond a certain point as I feel the rewards arent worth the trouble. Largely the conquest only toons that are almost impossible to farm for since the event doesn't last long enough or occur enough to acquire enough currency to buy their shards or when you have to purchase the pass to access them only for them to then be removed and placed into a random event that is even harder to beat. This happened with malgus where I got him to almost the halfway point only for him to be taken out of rotation and placed into those conquest events that happen at random and no matter how hard I try to beat them I always lose even with my strongest teams. It's so frustrating when something cool is released only to become conquest accessible because it will only last for a short time in the shop before being removed.

It's different for different people. Can see how it would be frustrating not to be able to access a toon you want. For people with developed rosters though it's pretty easy. Takes me roughly 8 days to complete everything then just press the sim button the last 6 days. As your roster grows it will become increasingly easier.

I think conquest is worth it just for the stuff you can buy with conquest currency. There's tons of really cheap gear. It's also the only place in the game where you can purchase signal data without spending xtalpurpgems. I try really hard to avoid having to deal with proving grounds though. Play hard mode, get the red box, buy the baby conquest pass - For all the rewards you get, I think it's absolutely worth it. As a bonus, you don't have to worry about proving grounds.

Yes superpain. Needs insane amount of grinding and same matches5 repetitive matches per day for many squads. And they first said CQ is mode where you can use your roster. Bah GL GL GL CLS to and bonus node for feats as those bonuses are insane and discs are tooUngh-D

If your roster is young and growing less than at least 7 million GP all your availiable resources should be going into catching up - farming Galactic Legends, building your mod inventory, working on teams for Territory Wars and Territory Battles.Conquest chasing is really for the folks with established rosters and nothing else to do without something new to push for.

Totally disagree with the previous poster. It’s definitely worth it, and it HELPED me built out my roster. I’m still under 7M and can regularly get gold crate on hard. Try to map out your farming path around teams that do well in Conquest. It pays off big time. You don’t have to go hard on every one, just the characters you really want. The rest of the time you can get as far as you can, and pick up g12 gold gear, datacron mats, and signal data easy.Proving Grounds is not random, btw. It happens after every Conquest.It’s a grind, yes. But it pays off.

Is galactic conquest worth the headache?

If you ever spend money on the game, the $10 pass is by far the best investment. The red crate is doable for most accounts over like 6-7mil (see @CeliacSarah videos for her doing it on a 3 gl account). While the grind is annoying and I dislike the repetitive 40 battles as well, I enjoy trying to figure out how to get things to work (like phoenix with rex, my g12 team with a 3 star rex got it vs the first treasure node, with a 280 speed rex and 2 aa, can beat it 3 times in a row (I think I need 77% stamina to outspeed enemy echo) so it only needs 7 days for me to beat that.

The essentially free legendary level toons is also definitely worth it

Not worth the effort for me as well. Mostly bc of the garbage rng and disks you want to drop. At 8.8 mill I shouldnt need to waste time planning out teams to beat Overprepared 17 different ways.

Getting red crate every time is always worth it IMO.

Crate 6 for two cycles in a row gives 270 shards of new unit (3x65=195, 3x25=75, 195+75=270) Buy 10shards from wandering scavenger once per conquest (6x10=60) and you can have every new conquest unit without using proving grounds or worrying with the grinding feats (can skip 134 points and still get crate 6).

Conquest is only a grind if you choose it to be.

Thank you for this. I've said this to many people. Conquest is one of the easiest ways to get top end characters basically for free if you want.

I think at a minimum you should be aiming for the gold crate, so you can unlock the reward character during the next set of conquests.
A new conquest is my favourite thing in this game right now- trying to figure out the most efficient way to hit all of the feats.

Hard disagree. The times that PG has been bugged and I've been able to attempt a few of those battles it was a lesson in frustration. Conquest is grindy - but PG is rage inducing. No thanks.

They need to make it a lot less tedious. Too many global feats that require repetitive battles. C&C music factory kills require 20 battles (unless you can manage vs. BH or NS) which is over three days of natural energy regeneration. 40 malgus, 40 clones, 20 wookiees. Just so boring to do time and again. Even with trying to use malgus and clones as much as possible in normal battles through the five sectors, I still have 11 malgus and 12 clones left for the last 30 keycards to hit red crate. It is just a big time sink when you have tw, tb, GAC going on (on usually 2 of the 3).

Well, if you get red crate proving grounds really shouldn’t be an issue as you would then unlock the toon way before they go to PG…

That only covers the newest conquest units. The point of PG is to obtain units that you can no longer get through any crate in conquest.

That's the whole point - try harder at conquest so you can stay out of proving grounds.
