Skip turn button in battles

So for all the people who are saying no. Instead of adding a feature that could add a modicum of strategy to the game, you are saying you would rather reset and replay the whole battle than have an option to let your heavy hitter skip a turn?

Given the two options? Yes. A reset button would pretty much allow me to complete the entire GW with just my main squad. With the current option I actually have to use suicide squads and rethink my attacks in general, should something go wrong the first (or 10th) time.

It doesn't add stategy, it makes it easier for those without strategy to survive.
Yes, reset and try a different strategy of you aren't happy with your previous attempt. I will restart a node simply because one of key characters doesn't have enough health to be successful in the next node. It forces me to try a different route or tactic to achieve the results I want. It would be way too easy to just skip skip skip until everything is suitable. That's not strategy. That's just making it easy.

@ChefHaze That is my primary reason for retreating. I have someone who could use a heal, Rey is up and ready to attack and Lumi is next up with a heal ready.
This doesn't make it easier, the battles are easy enough now. If you haven't figured it out, I was one of the few that liked (and still like) the old retreat option. Yes, if someone died, they were out of the rest of the battle, retreating did not bring them back but it was a hello falot better back then.

I never said there was help for me. I accepted that a long time ago.
I'm saying that the devs totally screwed up the strategic nature of the Galaxy War when they decided to go with a reset button retreat instead of what they had before.

A skip button would have the same effect of retreating until you find the outcome favorable without the need of doing the full attack over again and again and again and again and again and again and and again and again and again and again and again (not that I've ever done that but, as you said, there's no help for me)

What if the skip turn button didn't hit the cool down meter? I constantly want to skip turns so my nearly dead Jedi doesn't have to attack Dooku. Instead, my sid or Dooku goes next and they'll kill him.

They could limit the number of skips per battle or even in GW.
You have 1 skip in an arena battle. You have 5 skips in GW you can use all in one battle or spread them out.

All they have to allow is one "skip turn" per toon per round. That give us a little more strategy, tactics, and time to help revive/heal. This ahould quiet all of the complainers claiming GW is too tough, not that I have any issues with it.

Another problem scenario:

In arena one team only has zKylo with retribution left. The second team all with low health then simply skips turns until one of them can stun Kylo, dispel his retribution, or put healing immunity on him. Instead of a possible win, the zKylo team looses.

I don't why a skip button is more abusive than a retreat button (which we already have).

If you retreat from an arena battle, you loose the battle. That's a major difference

Because that's not how the game works...
