Setting GA Defense

If you don't set a defense on the 2nd or 3rd battle does it auto populate the defensive deployment you used on the previous battle? I know they had some bugs with this function, so I wasnt sure if it works now.
  • Nic, it's only a few seconds to lay down preset teams, but you may need to change it up on different phases.
    I always use the same defense teams, but I know tons of others change their teams based on who they're fighting, especially if you have something you usually put on d that's a really good counter for say traya or revan or something you don't face as often. So it'd be bad for them if it wasn't separate deployments.
  • In the 5-toon events, I don’t mind manually setting defenses, because I have pretty good command over what my best offensive and defensive 5-toon teams are.

    In the 3-toon events, it’s a total pain to try to figure out how to allocate those resources, because there is no other game mode in which you have to build 3-toon teams. I just set up my defense once in the first round of the 3-toon events, and it auto-sets the same defenses for the next rounds. (If there’s a bug with the auto-setting of defense for rounds 2 and 3, it hasn’t affected me yet.
  • Wouldn't it be simple to just ask you when you start phase 2 and 3, would you like to use the same defence as last round? Choose yes and it's set, choose no and you can set it yourself.

    Defences have to be set manually atm


    This is incorrect.

    Auto defence in round one has been disabled because it was bugged. If you don't set a defence in round 2 or 3, it will set whatever you set in the previous round.

    The last two GAs I only set defence in round 1. This time I've had slightly tougher opponents so have manually set each round.

    Thanks for the reply FailingCrab!

    It's more than a few seconds. But even assuming it is, why? Why force me to spend those few seconds if the result is going to be the same and it can be done in 0 seconds?

    Autodeployment works just fine so long as someone has placed their defenses on the first round. What's the benefit of making people manually deploy later rounds?
