Jawas wrecks Geo reworks (hilarious)

Soft counter only. Rate of failure is high

1. This is not gauranteed to work
2. Geos aren't meant to be a defense team anyway
3. If you do run up against someone with Geos on defense, while it is a good way to use otherwise awful and useless characters, you will not get full banners

If we think it's a bug, someone should post to Answers, but it's so low impact even if it is a bug that it may never get fixed.

Release more jawas

Release Akial, the Jawa jedi

And make a legendary event with jawas to unlock 4-LOM, the bounty hunter droid

Any devs care to chime in and at least confirm if this is WAI or not?

I would like to know if my latest investment in the geos has just been killed by undergeared, low level, totally outdated and otherwise irrelevant Jawas.

@CG_SBCrumb @CG_Carrie

Yes, they're now 100% useless and a total waste. You definitely can't keep them for offense (in the current GAC or any future one) if you don't want to take the risk of them getting cheesed by jawas and you definitely shouldn't have built them up for TB or fleet usage. /s

Gotta love the community and their nonsense posts.

Are people really complaining about gearing up jawas and then it being a waste when the inevitable *fix* roles out preemptively. This is some next level silliness. Why would anyone commit to gearing up a team that is obviously unconfirmed for a *fix* especially with this game's track record. I feel like I need to que Bush's shame on me quote here.

I'm saying there are people in my guild that are bringing Jawas up to g11 and even g12 in some cases. Yeah, completely stupid on their part but without any communication from the devs how is anybody supposed to know if they plan to fix it or not? People see a video and they start freaking out and rushing to have the counter ready for GAC start. The devs should have said something yesterday.. I don't know why it is so difficult for them to say "hey something isn't right here, hold off on gearing Jawas for now" or "it's fine we don't plan to fix it anytime soon gear up those Jawas!".

And yet just today I saw a video of where someone put zeta Dooku in for SF (and I assume Poggle's damage bonus to other Seps helps here). Jawas and geos all died, and Dooku easily finished off Nebit. So in GAC you lose 20 banners with the Jawa technique.

Ahnald's video is up. One of the key points is how the Detonators applied are building far too fast then what they should. 1 attack turns into 8-10 detonators on all characters. Seems like a MASSIVE bug to me.

Yes. It appears that during the swarm attack, the algorithm is applying a detonator to *all* Geos each time damage is registered rather than to just the one assisting - so 50% chance of 6 detonators on each character per swarm rather than just 1.

The “Line in the Sand” text when a Jawa ally takes damage... every assist is an attack and dealing damage. 6 bugs attacking is rolling the 50% to each attacking bug per damage hit. It is working as written. So within 6 bugs each taking 2 turns could register 30+ dets.

This is correct. CG can change the wording of either the Jawas or the Geos - but either would be a Jawa nerf at this point. According to the wordings of the kits in question, it doesn't seem to be a "bug" (i.e. it is working the way the text states it should).

IDGAS about what is useful in fleet. I do however care what works in GA as this is the only gamemode I actually enjoy these days. And the prime reason I’ve bothered wasting resources on them.

Geos are a horrible team on offense because of all the equalizing. You easily end up winning with a full team of 95% healthy geos - which will cost you 10 points.

So yes, they ARE more or less useless - or too RNG reliant at least - on offense.

They would however have been great on defense - if the Jawas didn’t cheese them big time.

So Are you angry you have to check your opponents roster before generically throwing GEOS on D?

Even so if a player attacks your Geos with Jawas they are not going to get full banners, if they win at all, so then your Geos did their job. (After all not getting full banners is why you wont even use them for offense right?)

Almost no newer players have Jawas farmed and even older players generally only have them geared enough to have been able to get through the Mod Challenge they were required for, so the odds of actually ever seeing an opponent with Jawas at a useable gear level seem very small. (since G9 Jawas are more likely to lose than win against Gear 12 Geos)

Lastly, if you have a problem with lower gear toons beating higher gear toons then I suppose you hate Malak (5* G11 crushes JKR), Imp Troopers (Crush NS), ewoks (crush FO) and pretty much any other lower team that is a hard counter to another team out there right?

I have a 7 star alpha .. my geos are basically about to get Wat shards. I'm not pissed either.

Keeping this is a good thing. Jawas needed their place in the galaxy and wrecking droid creators seems right in their element.

Love Jawas, funny to watch, as a behind-the-scenes outtake. Stupid **** mechanic and execution, and now they've decided to keep it. Creepers gonna creep, CG's just gonna CG.

yeah but you'll never see geo's on defense in TW or maybe even all those other mass counter/assist teams...

Think about all those G13 Gar Saxon teams that are worthless now
