Bryan's Talk

Thank you Bryan! I will go ahead and get Dooku up to 7* tonight and start getting Poe shards instead of Daka. I wasn't sure which toons to level so this gives me more focus and I obviously need to gear Poe up before he is viable. Thank you again.

Thanks for the help, Bryan! I've been getting kicked in the teeth, but I'm grinding away at a droid squad (my daughter loves Poggle, so that made up my mind). I don't have a 7* character yet. How hard should I run at that goal? Is that the next, immediate goal that I have, or should I try to synergize it with developing my droid squad? Can I afford to wait until I have Poggle at 7*, for example, or should I try to get Sid there as soon as I can because he's the closest?

Definitely shoot for poggle first. Sid has only become mediocre unless paired with Phasma (L) or a "have to fill" spot on a different team. (Unless you have an awesome AOE squad with a good Taunter). Poggle is way, way OP for a droid team and is highly recommended. Since you can farm Poggle and HK pretty easy...I would definitely make that priority man. IG-88 isn't too pertinent anymore. So I would try to use a GS or other high critical toon in his place if you have the option. Always remember my man....an awesome droid team requires a good taunt to deter damage. Then when Poggle gives offense up, it's all over but the tears

Thanks for the advice! I've been working on Poe too - that's where all of my cantina shards are going. He should work for the taunter, right? I've been liking him on the way up, ever since I got him to gear level six or so. Before that he was paper thin. I'll lay off IG-88 then, and start working on HK. I confess that I hadn't been building toward arena success when I started work on the team, but HK-47 seems like he ought to help with that. I don't know why I didn't plan that way from the start. How useful is the shard shop, once I get there?

@Jeditrainingneeded
Anytime!!! PS...Daka is awesome on a Phasma led team. She stuns like crazy. You would think she was first order too. Lolol

Thanks a ton, Brian! I won't sweat the shard shop, then. I wasn't sure how it worked - I thought I might be able to trade shards for characters I'm not interested in. If it's only shards beyond 7* that I can trade in, that's way less useful.

Absolutely. You are welcome. Glad to help bro.

Another thing to be in awe about.....it takes 450 character shards to convert to the 6,750 blue gems just to buy 30 General Grevious shards. 450 traded for 30!!!!!!!!! Common man!!

Be back in a little over an hour. Wife wants to watch a movie. Time to see "The Proffesional" again. 1994 movie about a Hitman and a young girl (hitgirl). Nice classic to watch. Talk to you guys soon.
(Sad when you think about it...1994 was 22 years ago. Lol!!)

Thanks for the add! I guess the movie is SW related since Portman was Padme. Did you know Luc Besson wrote The Professional as a side project because Bruce Willis had other commitments in the middle of production of The Fifth Element? Less than a month to write it and the movie was finished in under three months.

Haha. No bro. I had no idea! I now know....seems you have done quite a bit of research!

It's an excellent movie. One of my favorites. Luc Beson is a sick director.

No doubt it is a great movie!

Hey Bryan and co,

Lots of great theory crafting in here so far!

I have been considering the droid talk on page 3 and am now wondering about the usefulness of the droid bundle before it disappears forever from my shop. I am mostly f2p, but this bundle is praised everywhere and seems quite competitive.

My current roster is: http://imgur.com/MpblRpg + poe is one shipment from unlock in Cantina.

I am able to snipe <20 arena with my best finish being 3rd, but it is becoming more difficult, the server is ~1 week old. Lumi Sid and GS seem decent on my arena team, but JC and chewie feel quite flat.

I have been focusing on sid, lumi and GS in shipments / shards up to this point as a minimal spender. Would the droid bundle be a big upgrade in my arena potential? They would make a solid b team for my GW as it gets harder. My goal is to place as highly in arena as possible, <10 would be great but I am not sure how viable that is as a new player who isn't planning on continuous spending.
