Someone help me understand why anyone farms KAM

I am a person spending GET3 on KAM, so I can answer your question as it pertains to me.

For starters, my guild has not completed the special mission in LSGeoTB enough to unlock him. We were averaging 9-10 shards per month most recently, which frankly isn’t great. I’m one of the culprits that can’t seem to get the mission down and frequently lose out on it.

Although we have not unlocked KAM, we decided to move on to RotE. This is mostly due to the fact our guild will lose its top-end players if we aren’t doing the next big thing.

Currently, the offerings for GET3 currency aren’t incredibly enticing. Paired with the fact there is a currency cap, and that CG stated they don’t have any immediate plans to add any new characters to GET3. So…. What do you spend it on?

I chose KAM. You never know when a character will become a requirement, so I didn’t want to be several months behind just in case he does.

Besides that, KAM *is* a very strong attacker. That is something the very versatile Jedi faction doesn’t have enough of. There are plenty of times when I’m struggling to clear a board in GAC when I wish I had just *one* more Jedi attacker, especially in 3v3.

I don’t have JMK. I don’t have oQGJ. My Jedi aren’t fully fleshed out. Of the Jedi that I do have, I could make one more great team with one more Jedi attacker. This is why I choose to farm KAM with my GET3 currency.

It's only a matter of time before KAM does become a requirement.

Failing that his kit is excellent and he's a really good character.

I'm definitely spending my GET3 currency on KAM even though like you I think he's not a must have character.

Other than there not being much else to spend GET3 on other than KAM and Kyrotechs I've had so many moments over the years playing the game where I underestimate a character, ignore farming them and suddenly and new meta make that character essential. Ebon Hawk for Executor, Vandor Chewie for Dash and Wampa and Hoda for JKL. I was caught months behind on all of those farms and struggled to make those squads work effectively without those key characters.

Long story short, I'm farming KAM so I future proof my roster.

Yep, 7* every character and ship.

He isn't required for any GL farm.

He isn't required for anything in Rise, save a few Operations (but so are many units).

Compared to other Jedi and Galactic Republic units, he is middling at best.

He seems like the absolute worst use of GET3 tokens. He requires outsized prereq gearing to unlock shards in LS Geo.

And even if you did unlock him, to gear and relic him means you are ignoring someone else, Jabba or Aphra or GI reqs.

I don't see how he fits into any future GL farm unless we get a new Mace or Yoda. I don't see him being involved in future Andor-related content. He seems like a dead end character.

How can anyone ever decide that unlocking and gearing KAM shouldn't be on the bottom of their TODO list?

I'll make it easy for you, Shaak Ti is a JMK requirement and clones are good

You may not personally see a use for him but he's very good and you're missing that for whatever reason.

This makes him good in a quigon team, makes jka hit even harder.

Simply put.... because thus far, get3 currency only gives you kam and wat shards, relic 9 mat, and mod recalibration currency.

So sure relic 9 mat is more valuable... but for those who dont have kam, its basically a choice between going to relic 9, kam shards or playing the last tb instead of the new one to finish kam.

So while relic 9 makes more sense.... if i only need a few more shard pulls, why not finish kam? It is a hero collector game, so you want to unlock him...

So you should farm Ki Adi Mundi because Shaak ti is a Gl requirement and there are good clones in the game?

Because he's a very good character
