I don't care about either of those characters or their factions... I'll continue working on characters I actually like, as I always have.

I did the same thing when the SOLO toons came out. I farmed Young Lando and L3 and those guys. You know what happened then? JKR happened.

I would work on Ewoks: Caravan of Courage characters before them... I have Enfys Nest at 7 stars, and Qi'ra at 5 because of the easy bounty for her, but the rest of those Solo characters are still sitting at their marquee unlocks, hehe.

I think both sets of required units are equally terrible. I think no matter which one you go for you will have geared up a bunch of terrible characters that will destroy your chances against people in the GAC. Your G13 FO and Resistance is gonna get matched against G13 SE,Padme or GAS in the matchmaking.

You don’t think those with G13 SE, Padme or GAS will be gearing up their terrible res and FO characters too, hence evening the MM?

And, no, I'm not changing my mind. But the likelihood of New Finn and New Poe being needed means I don't have to rush. Farming them from 3* to 7* will take a couple months, so I've got time to gear up.

Agree. But a couple months is nothing for the gear and relics required. Hope you've already started.

Yup.

Some will and some won't and it will really hurt when you get matched against those who choose not to.

I'm trying to picture a scenario where I have SE, Padme, and GAS, and my opponent does as well, and I also have GL Rey or Kylo, and they don't, and I'm at a disadvantage.

How about that 6+ month period where you have been gearing up your FO and Resistance but haven't yet unlocked the GL.

Also you will have geared up 2 teams worth of bad units to get maybe 1 viable team even with the GL. Really the only way you will have an advantage even when you get the GL is if it is unbeatable on defense.

I don't gear anything until I need it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also the newest meta tends to be difficult to beat on D.

How about the 6+ month period where you are still in the middle of gearing the FO and Resistance and don't have the GL yet?

Also even when you have the GL you will have at best geared 1 viable team and 1 bad team. While they will have geared 2 viable teams. The only way you have the advantage is if the GL is unbeatable on defense.

Anyone currently going for resistance thinking about swapping to first order based on some of the requirements? Between the two while neither factions are great, resistance seems to require a lot more awful requirements and if/when rose is required that's even more utterly useless units.

If they require Rose I’m dropping everything and switching to FO

If they require Hux, I’m dropping everything and switching to Resistance

If they require both I’m dropping everything

Can't really imagine that Rose will be needed. They did the same injector bundle for Holdo and she isn't needed too. She may be needed due to her cap ship. Don't really know what CG is planning tbh. Maybe they wanna play Canto Bight with Rose and Finn? Maybe that is why the old Finn is needed?

Hux should follow the same rule as Holdo. He should get his cap ship and the requirement should be a high cap ship (like with GS and Windu).
