Galctic War difficulty

...If you can find them ;)

Do you happen to know what exactly determines your difficulty in the Galactic War? I created a 2nd account and the difference in difficulty between the 2 is astounding. With my primary account, I'm level 61, consistently in the top 100 in squad arena, and have a squad power of 18,290 with my top 5. 7 star Sidious at gear level 8 , 5 star Luminara gear levl 7, 4 star Consular gear level 8, 5 star Chewy gear level 7, and 4 star Poe gear level 5. It seems the better I get my crew, the harder Galactic War is. I haven't even completed it once with this account. Is it determined by how far you've unlocked the light side/dark side battles? Or the cantina battles? Or what about your rank in squad arena? There's got to be an algarythm to it. My other account is UNREAL! I've got a weaker squad and I'e beaten the entire Galactic War over a dozen times. I think my overall power is 15,000. It's infuriating! Any information you can share would be great.

I have run into a similar situation. I also have two accounts, one of which is stronger than the other. In my primary account (currently level 57), my GW experience seems highly variable. I had beaten it 3 or 4 days in a row last weekend and early this week, and then got slammed the last three days, barely able to collect 400 green coins before all my characters were dead. I was drawing teams early on that were 5-7 levels above mine, and while they could be beaten with a suicide squad followed by my A team, I only have so many suicide squads.

On my other account (currently level 44), I have beaten GW all but one day since I unlocked it, without having to use any characters other than my A team.

Not sure if it's just luck of the draw, getting several easy days in a row followed by several overly hard days, or if I did something on my 1st account, such as hitting some kind of team power threshold, that triggered a new difficulty curve that I'm now at the low end of. If it makes any difference, the primary account is on an iOS device, and the secondary account is on an Android device.

So basically, I'm not sure if they made it harder, or if I've just had some lousy draws on the primary account.

Hey guys, I haven't logged on in quite a while for an update, sorry! I tried lowering my squad rank into the thousands and saw absolutely no change to my difficulty. So instead, I decided I was going to beat the crap out of this stupid game the old fashioned way! I still haven't paid a dime into the game (though I wouldn't mind doing it), and I am beating the galactic war nearly every day. I have beaten it 35 times now, and am proud of it! I have a few tips, most of which have already been mentioned here. Say what you want about it, but retreating a match has been crucial to surviving. I know people think it's cheating, or wimping out, but frankly I couldn't care less. The key has been having Old Daka and Darth Sidious on my crew. Sidious will hit people with the anti-heal and the only character that can override that is Barriss Offee. Queen Daka has a 35% chance of reviving defeated allies and has saved my bacon a million times. So I have my top 5 characters with all 7 stars, maxed at level 70, with all their abilities & attacks (left column) maxed out at 6 or 7. Here's who I have in my top 5:

Luminari Unduli - leader (best leader ability in terms of healing)
Jedi Consular
Darth Sidious
Old Daka
Biggs Darklighter

These characters are pretty easy to max out based on how many opportunities they each have to gather their shards. Jedi Consular is great because he heals nearly as well as Luminari. Biggs is great because of his Comrade-in-arms attack that basically gives you an extra attack for free and has a 75% chance of critical hit.

You'll lose characters in the galactic war, I've never beaten in without losing someone. So I also beefed up some other characters, but I haven't been able to completely max them out yet. But there are a few others with lots of opportunities to get shards like; Stormtrooper Han, Captain Phasma, Clone Wars Chewy, Count Dooku, Savage Opress, and more. My current goal is to get 9 light side and 9 dark side characters at level 70 with max abilities before a new update raises the max level. It helps that I play it every day, and I let my secondary account be just for fun. If I don't have time to get on that one, I don't worry about it. I recommend the same strategies, they work for me.

Spend all your galactic war tokens on 1 character until they're maxed out, I recommend Luminari, Biggs, and Phasma. Spend all your Arena tokens the same way, starting with Sidious, Savage Opress, Stormtrooper Han. Cantina credits take more time to obtain, so mine have all been spent on Daka, and she's nearly at her final 100. I recommend getting "Fives" after that for his speed bonus and counter attack.

I hope you all have as much fun at this game as I do. Enjoy!
