Reyia's Diary

30 January 2016

Dear Diary, I've reached a major milestone- level 40 and being broke! A new holotable to the right of the main screen opened and I got access to Galactic War! I'll abbreviate it as GW in short.

Achievement unlocked- level 40!

GW is like a test of endurance player versus player exercise where u need to think ahead to go the extra mile. In the Squad arena we put our best five characters to fight but in GW it's different. We have to form a few various teams. Top team will be your main highest level squad. The rest are there to weaken the enemies or waste their cooldowns so that u can bring in ur main team to clean up. Using the right hero at the right time can be the determining factor in a fight. Here we would preferably have more than one healer. Jedi Consular, Luminara, Talia, Old Daka, and Barriss Offee really shine in this area.

After each battle a chest with increasing better rewards is awarded until the end of the board is reached. There are twelve battles in total and the difficulty can ramp up quite fast and P2W teams with full 7* heroes can creep up and make winning almost impossible. That's when thinking outside the box is required and choosing which heroes to sacrifice in order to continue is paramount. Cooldowns and health are carried over from one battle to other.

Before level 40 GW can't be accessed.

I'm going to post what the lizardman said as he does offer tips for GW.

I stopped at eight as both JC and Talia died. With no healers I can't go further.

I promoted GS to 4* yay! Thank u cantina energy.

The Force Awakens Ultimate Bundle which was no longer offered came back and I got the option to buy it. It seems only new accounts can buy the bundle and not the older ones.

Number 1 in two days. Nice :)

It's really bad how experienced players aren't offered the training droid pack. A lot of higher ups really need more training droids.

Edit: yet, maybe, idk.

For me the main problem is gold, and purple mats. I always seem to have an abundance of training droid packs, but maybe that's because I refersh like 5x times? or something with regular energy.

For me main problem is credits, gear mats, and ability mats.

Nice work Reyia! Did you try to retreat on GW to get better rng? I would have thought your tips would be tough enough to go the distance.

I just started an alt account today to. Got to level 17 and am top 400. Will be aiming for top 50 tomorrow.

Anyway, love your work! Great to see a fellow Aussie on the forums. Looking forward to what tomorrow brings. Keep it up!!

Thanks Giodude2000! I did force closing app a few times to see if results are different. My other characters are level twenty something and there isn't enough credits to level them up.

Great to hear u started on a new account too! My recommendation is to use energy refreshes to rapidly increase in levels. I use 50, 50, 100, 100, 200, 200. The race is on to whoever can unlock GW fastest so that heroes can be farmed three places: arena, cantina, and GW.

Cheers, and I'll keep everyone updated with my progress :smiley:

31 January 2016

Dear Diary, today has been a fruitful day. I've promoted IG88 to 4* and geared up my main squad as much as I could. There are four ways to increase the power of heroes, namely star promotions, levels, gear, and ability upgrades.

To upgrade a 3* to 4* 30 shards were needed along with 100k credits. I went like everyone else at the beginning and got Darth Sidious shards but then saw that my IG88 was pretty weak so I decided to instead focus on upgrading the latter as it would be more useful than unlocking Sid at this stage.

Significant changes in stats occur with staring. With gear it will increase a lot more in power.

I'm going to write a bit about gearing so as to help newer players out. Gearing is very, very important and affects a heroes' power more than levelling or star promotions.

On the main screen if there is a red circle to the top right of characters it means a hero/gear can be upgraded/crafted.

Click on a character with a green cross to equip gear on that character.

I clicked on my Ewok Scout and there were two green crosses. That means those two slots already have the necessary mats.
http://i.imgur.com/by7jIxE.png

Clicking on one of the green cross will open a menu with two sides- left is equip, right is find.
http://i.imgur.com/jYnFVmh.png

I clicked equip and the top right side has been equipped with the said gear.
http://i.imgur.com/LxRnAny.png

Clicking on the bottom right opened the gear window.
http://i.imgur.com/k4JFlIo.png

I clicked equip and that gear got equipped. Notice now I have all six slots full. Having full slots will upgrade the tier level, in this case gear level III to IV.
http://i.imgur.com/Z1Mf1GX.png

New slots became open and they need to be filled in order to upgrade another tier level. The slots can have four different variations:
1. Find
2. Equip
3. Craft
4. Nothing
http://i.imgur.com/tnDqRiN.png

Find - means u need to farm for the gear
Equip - u already got the gear, just need to equip it
Craft - u got parts of the gear which u can craft
Nothing - gear is already equipped or if it's a yellow cross it means ur character level is too low to equip that gear

Okay now for today's leaderboard. As always I list the top 20.

And don't forget to farm Qui-Gon Jinn! He's recently been made available for free, one of the most powerful P2W toon whom many have spent thousands to 7*.

And that concludes day 5 of my adventure in space o:)

Hi @Reyia how did you go yesterday? I managed to get my alt account to 2nd on arena table yesterday! It is amazing what can be done when you can use what you have learned when starting from scratch.
