I had a theory awhile back that GW matches you up using the combined power of all your characters. With this theory I decided to ONLY gear/level/star my A team and no others. After ditching the rest of my characters by a solid 10 levels, 4 star levels, and two gear levels, this week I have been able to nearly auto-play each battle of GW as none of them have been higher gear/level/star than my A team.

I'm in no way a whale, but I've spent more then any games should deserve.How is possible to go from cleaning GW very easily to barely making it to battle 9-10?Just because one day I decided to suit maxed JC/Lumi/etc (toons with high level power but aren't that powerfull...) in Arena??? Like seriously, I'm all for a challenge, but how is ANYONE supposed to finish GW when you start facing maxed out 7* squads at battle 3-4???This makes no absolute sense.The way he game is designed, it's hard enough to farm toons, but now... wthOne day, I'm facing max squads at only battle 9, and then poooof the next day it starts at battle 3-4. Way to balance things out devs....I can just imagine how some others have a hard time. FYI:I'm level 702/5 of my pvp squad are 7*, the other 3 are 5* and I only have another 2 7* toons on the bench.

Does anybody have any information on the bug fix progress for GW . This is laughable, I can't get past the 3rd node ! These teams are absolutely maxed out .

followingguess we posted at the same time a similar thread:https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/15044/another-gw-thread#latest

Sorry about that . Would love to know though .

The match making is horrible. That is what I normally face but ever once I a while it goes the other way. Today was my easiest GW since the changes. I think I scared it by wanting to take screen shots of all the killer match ups but they were all weak.

I run a Daka, Lumi, Bariss Sid and Phasma (L) team and I can go start to finish, often without cannon fodder and hardly ever even use retreat / reset.

I'm farming Barriss now and almost have her , I'm gonna give that squad a go. I actually don't know why you can't run arena team in GW , I hate to say

think he just meant to run healers for GW instead of high damage/low health toons since it's an endurance contest

but the thing is... when you face a maxed out "poe/GS/poggle/QGj/Rey" squad on battle 3-4-5-6.... it's hard not to use your pvp squad to kill them, but then you're left crippled for the other battles.

Do you use bariss? Once i maxed her out as much as i could then GW was a lot easier to complete

I agree with the OP. Difficult teams used to appear on node 8. Now I find them on node 3. Something has been changed in matchmaking. And then comes my next question: why can't I choose the same GW toons to help me in LS/DS/cantine, and instead find toons with less than 1500 power?

I still clear it everyday. I've been working on my bench alot. Just getting everyone into the 50/60s helps a bunch. Today I hit a full 70/7* team on the 2 round. Again on rounds 3 and 4. 5 and 6 I got some breaks a 66 and 68 level teams respectively. Was what I need to reset all my specials and get everyone's health back up.

Sometimes it takes a while. I've spent 30 mins on one round trying every combination possible until I get a good result. It can be difficult but it is doable as long as your not trying to clear it with five 7* toons and the rest are green gear level 20 bullet sponges.

You can't do it with just your arena team. It requires different strategies and toon combinations.

It's just that you spend all this time and resources to get your guys lvl d up, star up , equip up And you still can't compete , it just makes you wonder why your doing it .
