Ewoks - are they worth it?

I’ve been slow farming the fury little murder bears and I’ve got the ideal C3PO team nearly starred but not geared:

Chirpa, logray, wicket, elder & (papaloo is only 5 stars) the others are all finished

I’ve not put any gear into them yet as I’m waiting for them all to be starred before I do.

However, with so many other characters demanding gear are they worth it, just for 3PO?

Bounty hunters are a useful team in themselves as they have utility in GAC TW. Furthermore, they unlock chewie and the falcon AND they grant rewards from galactic bounties. That’s a pretty good return on investment.

Murder bears give you 3PO.... and that’s kinda it.

ATST event rewards are negligible. Ewoks don’t play particularly well in PVP (I’ve read they’re a c-class team, below BH and NS), they have no particular use in raids. So the only output is C3PO, then I have 5 gear 11 GP inflators stuck in my roster.

C3P0 looks great, but does he justify 5 useless characters worth of investment?

    Ewoks are a perfect counter to FO, and Carth teams. They can take out a significantly better geared and powered team. My 84k GP ewoks can take out 95k FO teams.


    @IronRanger can they beat Carth reliably? Even with zetas? I use EP to beat Carth right now but would much rather use him for other things...
  • Yep, Carth, mission zaalbar zetas will fall to ewoks. Only thing to even watch is if they have Juhani because she can dispell Logray's daze. But I can get around that many times. Once in a while I bite off more than I can chew but as I gear them up, I have less and less issues

    The Woks routinely punch above their weight (gp) even when not fully maxed. Of course more gear and zetas are great but zchirps and g11-12 and they're formidable. Turn meter gain is a powerful thing


    Would you put them above Bounty Hunters or Nightsisters though?

    I thought I’d seen a chart showing them in a lower category for PvP.
  • 100 percent worth it. C3p0 alone makes them worth it. In GA I clear a node with them every match. Everyone uses either a first order or Carth team on D and my ewoks eat them alive. I even use them to take down some nightsister teams. Theyre pointless on D if your opponent has a good Nest, but if they dont my ewoks have sometimes taken 4-5 attempts to be beaten.
  • Ewoks can (if geared to 11 with decent mods and gear) take down a g12 FO squad and can even take down a Talzin-lead NS squad (not Assaj - that's a little tougher). They are also a solid clean up squad on offense against most non-meta teams. And C3P0 is a big boost to CLS or Padme teams (whichever you use him in).

    So, yes.

    2. They are a good team for GA/TW — I’ve had several people underestimate them

    All it takes is underestimating them once, too.

    Lose the first fight because you thought you could cheap out on the offense team, and now you're facing that same Ewok team but with a bunch of pre-loaded TM... Ewoks are a team that's easy to cascade against on defense and you just drop like a rock.
