Will Revan come back for Christmas?

We all know that Revan was dropped in October and very few people got him. If he is re-released during Christmas time, many people will be close to finishing his farm and will certainly spend some gift money on getting him, so this seems like the perfect opportunity! Please make it happen CG!

    We'll probably get a new legendary in December so the mega whale will buy the new shiny. I'm guessing jedi luke. I'm ready for that too assuming the gear req isn't ridiculous and have hoarded 10,000 crystals since I finished OR so I'll be more flexible when the next legendary comes.


    My personal draw back was Bossk. I had to finish him for Chewbacca, then I started farming Kotor characters. They're coming along ok, but I would prefer not to spend anything. 30 days is doable, according to the panic farm, but not as comfortable as 60.


    I started them when they came out but stopped for bossk during the bonus drops to get him 7 stars for chewie.

    But the hard node farms weren't the bottle neck. Mission and t3 became farmable late enough that I still finished all the hard nodes before them.

    But if I were you, I would stay focused and plan for a dec revan. If you have around 500 crystals a day to use, you can refresh cantina 3 times and regular 3 times and refresh some nodes to make sure to use all the energy on OR.


    That is the problem, I don't earn 500 crystals a day.


    you get about 200 a day free if you do all dailies. So you really only need to get high enough in arena and fleet to get about 150 a day from each. If you want help with that, then let me know. I get top 20 or so in arena and 1st in fleet most days. The crystals from that help a lot. I easily average 700 or 800 a day. It takes some effort but definitely worth it.

    You can try. I can't break below 100 in my shard and as for ships, hahaha, it's a joke. One of my biggest issues is that I can't get on and snipe at payouts.


    What do you currently run in arena? And what teams do you see the most? I would suggest running ep nightmare with what you have. You have it maxed so it is formidable if modded correctly. I run it and can easily climb into to top 20 or so. I can beat ns easily, bastilla teams if they don't have crazy mods, traya teams that don't have crazy mods, and revan is an easy win if thrawn is faster and still possible unless they have crazy mods.

    That's as good as it gets without traya or revan.

    I modded vader and ep for massive potency and decent speed. Thrawn is modded to be as fast as possible. And sion and nihilas are also modded to be fast. Though for nihilas, defense, health, and protection are also important to keep him alive when possible if revan marks him.

    For fleet, what are you currently running? I run tf, vader, and ht under tarkin, though I suggest you use thrawn until you max out tarkin. I switched to ht at 3 star bossk g12 and it held on defense better than biggs.

    I use the following for reinforcements

    Fives - has a massive aoe if you spread tl.
    Biggs - extra tank andputs tl on when called in and can call an immediate assist.
    Ghost - can put tl on everyone when called in. Puts defense down and calls assists.
    Fett - great tank. has a good aoe. But I don't usually need him.


    My main arena team is Emperor Palps lead, vader, thrawn, Nihilus, Sion.
    for ships I use Chimera with the main fighters are Vader Tie, Biggs, and tie fighter with 5's, Maul, Slave 1 and FO tie for reserves.


    Yeah for ships you may want to sub in ht. It holds better on defense for me. Mine's 5 star now but i switched at 3 star.

    For arena, modding makes all the difference. I remodded my vader a few months ago for 3 potency sets and it makes a huge difference against bastilla. You can land dots through the increased tenacity and get the tm train going. It also makes your team less vulnerable to bastilla on defense.

    I also increased the potency on ep. Let's stuns land through increased tenacity and helps you keep shock on sion if you face a traya team. That lets you get to a thrawn or ep to kill them faster. Those two changes made the most difference.


    I can get Vader's potency over 100%, but everything else drops drastically.

    That's where I was headed. Christmas is too early (although never say never), I would expect mid-January to mid February.

    I agree
  • Revan is returning!!
    It’s a fact...the event will return.
    Prepare for it now! No one knows when it will return, but there are a few things that we do know:

    1. It will return, likely with very little notice
    2. 99% of the predictions for his return date will be wrong, so don’t count on any of them.
    3. The same toons will be required, still at 7*, to unlock him.
    4. No matter when the event returns, it will be “just a little too soon” for some players.
    5. He will return again and again after this.

    We all know these things. We know what we need and we know we won’t get much warning when he returns. So what is the logical conclusion to all of this?

    If you want Revan, prepare for his return now!!
    Get those OR farms done! Sooner than later!
    If you choose not to prepare for this one, then be prepared not to unlock him.
    It’s a really simple, really obvious choice. And we all have it available to us!

    I will. Most of the potency mods I used for my mock up were spares anyway. I hate demodding teams that work really well in other areas. Have you used the grandivory mod assistant? I'm curious how more serious players think when it comes to that. Side note, the funny thing is my sith?empire team can just about auto a majority of teams I can fight, just aren't good on def.
