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.

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.

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.

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

Nihilus, Chirrut, ATF, Krennic, Gar and Holdo

Probably for the new players who don't have the characters. In the survey I said that they should do more for the newer players, so maybe this is there way of doing that.

I've been playing for a little over a year, I'm doing pretty well, and I have precisely zero of these characters at seven stars.

Nihilus has been more raid material than meta until the recent update. Even now, he's a late game long farm that a lot of people have only started fairly recently and have a long way to go on.

Chirrut is great, and you can start slowly working on him from the fleet store fairly early, but he's nowhere near as good without the late game long farm that is Baze, and he doesn't make direct progress toward other important projects, most notably CLS and Thrawn. A lot of people have put him off, especially if they want to use the fleet store to actually improve their fleet.

Fulcrum is good, and about as accessible as Chirrut, but that's also competing with all the other valuable ships and pilots in the fleet store, most notably Darth Vader, and Fulcrum is in direct competition as a dedicated single target attacker with Princess Leia, who is much easier to get, and gets you CLS. I have literally zero Fulcrum shards because, even though she's a good character, I haven't gone out of my way to get her.

Krennic. He's good, and useful, but not currently meta, and he's a single hard node long farm. Not a lot of people go out of their way to get him. He's a character I really want, and want to train up for my troopers team, but I can't spare the resources because I'm working on JTR requirements and a Resistance team that has only one point of overlap with the JTR requirements.

Gar Saxon. Little compelling reason to get him to 7*, especially since the conga line of cantina farms is endless. However, he's got a great ship.

Holdo. Very good unit, wanna work on her for my Resistance team after I get Jedi Training Rey, but I need my standard energy to work on Rey and Finn, so she's on hold for now. Very glad for any Holdo shards I get.

I'm personally glad for four out of the six (Nihilus, Chirrut, Krennic, Holdo), and ambivalent for two.(Fulcrum, Gar).

Holdo is never getting a capital ship. She also didn't have her own in the movie

Agreed, this honor should go to Leia. If we ever get new trilogy Leia, that is...

I like it. General Organa.

I would pay to see a full team of 5 Hans vs a full team of 5 Leias

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.

Great points.
Side question, when you split your resistance up for TW, who gets stick Rey, and who gets Rose?

Rose? who dat?

I'll complain about this--they should have just done double drops like they've done before.

I have zero excitement about this "celebration", whereas I'd be pretty stoked about double drops

For me Finn gets rose and holdo.
Rey goes with JTR

Both of them? You don't put RT RP and Poe with Finn? I would think you'd want all the expose characters with Finn.

Zinn, Poe , rt Rose, holdo- on offense
Jtr, bb8 , r2, rp, rey - on d

The biggest mistake you can make when giving feedback is to assume that your experience reflects that of the majority.

If holdo gets a capital ship, she should have a 6 turn cooldown ultimate that suicide jumps into the enemy team xD.
