Switching GL you're chasing?

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.

    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?



    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.



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


    Not necessarily. Every new meta is met swiftly by excited theory crafters. In the 2 years I've been playing I've never seen an unbeatable new meta team and this will continue.

    Most people aren't good at theory crafting or even knowing about counters.

    So far they are 4-0 so I’d say they are better than you think. Only time will tell with GLs though but with this AI, pretty positive something old will beat them.

    Who is 4-0?

    I'm saying most people that play the game are not good at theory crafting and learning new counters. And those are the people you generally face in GAC.
