Greetings Holotable Heroes,

The newest Raid in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is almost here, the Tank Takedown! This new Raid offers exciting new rewards for powering up your character roster.

Let’s take a closer look at some of these new rewards, the phases of the Raid, the requirements to participate, and more!

Recommended squads

Jedi and Jawa – each of these types of squads will receive bonuses when used in the Raid.

Raid Currencies
When the new Raid launches, Guilds will start earning two types of currencies, one for each of the Raids. This will allow Guilds to launch both Raids at the same time instead of having to pick one over the other.

Raid Rewards
When Guilds complete the Tank Takedown Raid they will be rewarded with Credits, Guild Currency, and Gear. If Guilds can complete the Raid on Heroic difficulty they will also be rewarded with shards for a the new raid exclusive character.

We have also made adjustments to the Raid character shard payouts for Heroic difficulty. Players that earn spots 1-3 on the leaderboard will receive the highest amounts, while ranks 4-50 will earn the same number of shards. We made this change so that Guild members could acquire Raid exclusive characters at roughly the same rate.

Plo Koon will be a good one for this under an Ima-Gun Di lead. His basic dispels, so he'll dispel with every counter on an AoE. That could be very valuable.

Either way, IMG is now a MUST HAVE. I'm so glad I've been working on him. He's gear 9 and nearly 6*s. Not great, but better than being there in 3 months from now if I started today.

I don't see how that is even a little true. Most jedi hit like wet noodles. If earlier data mining holds true, the jedi bonus is just health per turn, not attack... So even if you get a few extra attacks via counter, I don't see it making a whole lot of difference.

The old data mined info said Jawas get 50% potency, and call an assist on special. Could have changed, could be right.

Thanks, I don't think that is nearly enough to make them an a team for any phase. One attack from wiggs will do as much damage as 3-4 turns from a jawa team lol.

I think they will rock phase 3. Datcha lead applies defense down and has 25% chance to remove 25% turn meter. Even if it is halved for the boss, it is still pretty effective. Jawa and Dathcha will use aoe to keep adds stunned. Nebit to tank, JE to buff. Scavenger will apply thermals whenever a Jawa is hit, then explode them and apply debuffs. Assist call on every special will be an additional chance to reduce turn meter.

It's not always about damage. They key in phase 3, and possibly other phases too, will be controlling the adds. On p3, the data mined info said the boss can call new droids to replace fallen ones, so it doesn't do much good to kill them. Jawas will stun them and keep them stunned with tm reduction and slows, while you focus on the main boss.

Really disappointed that the new raid won't have tiers I-V. Most of my guild won't be able to do much in that, sadly. :/

Anyone know what advantages jawas will get, cause they are just awful and will need to be extremely beefed up for them to be any use in this raid.

+50% potency, so jawa and dathcha will stun more reliably. like the gif, use on the b2 droids

It would be nice, but I just don't see it working in practice.

Is this the warning to spend guild currency or will there be a real one, with a release date?

Yes, be it all now before they top up accounts

Did anyone notice the 4 jedi counter on Grevious only did 0.68% damage? It showed t least 15k of damage. Seems like a lot of health.
