Nihilus, Chirrut, ATF, Krennic, Gar and Holdo

Yes you are.

If you wanted to make a list of the lowest ownage rate of useful characters across the whole player base, those would have made my top 10 (maybe not gar) of guesses as to what they are.

It's not always about arena.

Just curious, but why these characters of all the choices? Most players will already have DN, Chirrut and/or Krennic/ATF 7* from one or more of the past metas/raid teams. Gar is absolutely useless now. Holdo...well...er... she's not exactly very good, is she?

I'm not complaining about these bonus drops, but personally I'd rather take double drops especially with the daily hard node increase.

I have seen ppl use Gar in Sith raid.
I have him with a zeta - he’s not the best. I can say the same for Kren. I think both are good and work with certain teams but it’s probably not worth the time effort or money. But as an Empire guy I had to get them.

Chirut is a great toon and will help with lstb. Dn is dope and holdo will do well with res.

Isn't that the point, they are giving them out so there is less time, effort, and possibly money involved.

Ok not to sound mean but your totally wrong about Gar. His lead skill is great in the 2nd phase of the Sith raid and especially his ship too. Most teams use his ship. So I have no idea why your calling him useless

Speak for yourself, I don't have Krennic

This. I've got him but at like 20/65. I've been playing for over a year now and just took Nih to 5 stars.

Not everyone follows the same path.

First off, I am a launch player and don't have Krennic, ATF, Gar or Holdo at 7* yet. Secondly, even at 5* Holdo is the shizzle in res teams (especially when you split into 2 res teams for TW) - so you are mistaken there. Gar's ship is very useful and his leadership ability is great (he's also fun to run with a Phoenix team - as he pretty much attacks constantly) in certain aspects of the game.

So yes, I need 4 of the 6 and all are useful. They might not be meta/arena toons (at least not the 4 I need) - but I like the choices, as almost all will be a pleasant bonus.

It's a common mistake that people make thinking everyone who plays is in the same position as they are.

Gar is a 16 energy cantina node. Those are brutal. Chirrut and Fulcrum are single slot Fleet Store purchases which are also very slow farms, and use up currency that could be spent on Zetas. Nihilus, Krennic, and Holdo are all single 20 energy hard nodes which is the most brutal of all.

I have no idea how many hundreds of thousands play this game, but it's highly likely that a huge swath of newer players don't have them.

Also Nihilus is arena meta currently. I use Chirrut, and Krennic in TW and TB. They are great. Fulcrum and Holdo are also fantastic for both of those game modes, and many guild mates swear by them. Gar is less used, but he's not as bad as people make him out to be.

All in all giving out free shards of mostly difficult to get characters that are mostly very good, and that most new players won't have yet is nice. Leave it to someone on the forum to complain about it.

Jace - while I agree with 100% of your post, this part especially should be stickied, in bold and neon letters somewhere.

I just need to give up on the stuff that should be stickied in bold and neon. Let people complain while I just have fun playing the game.
