Mandalorian GC

Why do we have a GC that's entirely gated on new, paywalled characters? The only usable leader for a full mandalorian squad is the armorer, who is pay to play. Aside from that, all the other mandalorians that aren't jango or mando are not great characters.

I get paywalling the highest level of crates, but to do it on the entire event is pretty much a slap in the face.

    The Mandalorian (lead) (r0) + Armorer (3* g11) carried T7 for me

    I also used Jango (r0), BMA (r0), and Canderous (g12) but they all died and didn't do much except for Jango getting the contract out early, but Mando + Armorer can pretty much tank the entire battle

    As long as you are able to get 3 beskar armor on Mando (might take a lot of retries), he'll counter, and crit and regen health + protection in no time and then annihilate all enemies


    Thank you for this, that worked like a charm.

    My Mando is R3, but I can see it working with him lower too.

    Agreed. Any variation of this works. Cleared enough for T6 crate. Don’t have BMando and the rest of the faction is garbage on their own. Not trying to even get T7 rewards as that’s locked behind this GC’s paywall


    Quite a few people have stated that they’ve done T7 with 3* Armorer and a good OG mandalorian so not much of a paywall really


    So does that take away what I said that the faction on its own is trash? Armorer works more as a cover all and outside of Bamando don’t do much. But sure...keep overlooking what I said.


    No and I never said anything about the faction not being good. I agree with you it’s not but you said the T7 crate was locked behind a paywall and plenty of people have proven it’s not so now you’re just overlooking your own point


    People have said they did it with BMando and the Armorer. Or the Mandalorian relic’d. Relics are a big choke point in gear economy. A G12 Mando on their own with a G11 Armorer (who need kyro’s, guns and carbs to even get there) and a zeta is also key. So unless you have relic’ed OGMando or great RNG, you need to pay to get those toons up to snuff.


    " I dont want to spent resources on mandalorians and call their event paywall."


    Hmmm nice try.

    Also it’s “spend”, as in “spend more time spellchecking before you try and burn someone.”


    By your logic, GC that require any faction other than scoundrel is paywall for me.


    No a proper comparison would be requiring tuskens with a brand new journey hero character that F2P are just starting to now unlock. I’ll let you work the rest of the similarities out for yourself :)


    I didn't know that BH (which have been in the game for an eternity and they're known to be able to counter a variety of top teams like JKR, DR, GG or Padme if modded and geared propperly) are comparable to the completely useless Tuskens.
    And no, BAM is still not required at all.

    Now, I can't test the minimum requirements for the GC as I can't downgrade my chars but I assume it's even possible with a g12 Mando (modded for survivability), a 3* g9-10 Armorer modded for high protection (my g11 sits at 100k which feels like overkill as she has no problem at all tanking IG11s AoE, hell if it's really close and the Armorer keeps dying to the AoE you just need to wait for the right RNG and IG uses his basic instead of the AoE), a g11-12 Jango (survivability to be able to tank a view hits), and a g9-10 Canderous or Sabine (just needs to survive a counter attack to give Armorer the 3rd ingot).

    People have shown it's possible to do, just admit that you were wrong about this GC being pay- or gearwalled.


    Did you complete T7 with this low gear comp? I’m just curious.


    No, those are the gear levels that I think would be sufficient to do the job based on my own doing in the GC.
    My team was Mando R4, Jango R4, 3* Armorer G11, Canderous and Sabine G11.

    Thank you. I’m looking for advice for my guildmates. My gear is only going to Arc to finish KAM reqs & then going back to SLKR reqs so the T6 crate is good enough for me.

    Ah yes, the old classic. CG pulls a sith move, people complain, Kyno defends it on a technicality. Never gets old.


    I so agree, everytime I comment or open a discussion you can be sure there will be all the regulars coming out to defend CG and the game in general!! This nee galactic challenge is a perfect example!! Cant complain that it seems like the GC's lately are geared more and more towards wallet warriors because the sec you post you'll get shredded!!
  • I managed to clear T7 with lider mando g12, jango r5, BAM g8, 3* armourer g8 and canderous g12.
    So I don’t see any paywall behind the GC
  • Was anyone able to get the max rewards, who didn’t have the new purchased armorer? If yes, then it’s not technically gated. But I get it. I do wish they would consider moving the new obviously pay wall characters to be bonus rewards on top of the max instead on ruining the chance for max rewards.

    Basically you can get the 2nd highest price box with some old toons. However to win the final price box you need a 4* armorer at g11 and an r5 Jango & r5 Mando (not Bando!). The toons are ok, however the issue is be that you will not need them for next GLs because they always put out GLs with toons not needed before. So a waste in terms of gear after a month because those are B Toons.


    ????

    I'm confused, so none of the (I don't know the exact number) 55 toons used for the 4 GLs were needed or had a use before then?
    ------
    And you can do it with 3* Armorer, but yes G11. My Jango (g12.5) and Mando (R3), I was able to do it, so your estimates are a little off.

    Also seeing the trend, I personally ok following the growth of the faction and investing when needed where it is worth it.
  • I got gold box, 12 tickets away from red, with some crumb-bum Mandalorians. Use that Clan Loyalty thing to the best of its ability. The hard part was not defeating all the mobs from counterattacks before hitting 100 stacks of Loyalty.

    (GL Rey makes this marginally easier, as Lifeblood counts as damage for the purposes of Clan Loyalty.)
  • My Mandychlorians—


    My Rey is r7, no ultimate yet. This would likely have been easier if I remembered that Armorer is a Leader! ?
