Okkeeejjjj so appears that GG really works. I'm a little ashamed that I was in the anty GG faction but I was wrong.Took first today in arena. Yeah you need the zetas. You don't need 7* (I'm on 4* B1 and droideka). Running zzGG, zzBB8, zB1, zB2, zDroideka.I can actually hit for 87k sometimes (with ID). Without ID I saw hits for 65k easily. Yes it was at the end of the battle. Yeah it took time to learn it. Slow droideka with offense mods, GG after B2, always kill Yoda regardless of Jolees revive. I win even with Marked on B1. The only time I loose if B2 wont put any buff immunity or his cooldowns won't be reduced (doesn't happen often)So...not so bad after all. On offense CLS will still kill you. ZFinn won't, Traya probably will (didn't win yet, but I think it's possible - had only 3 battles so far)Here's my rooster:https://swgoh.gg/p/392911963/Here's how the battle goes:https://youtu.be/xt_Q8gGpr7MThx to @Smapty for pointing the strategy.

Hurray! A post about Grievous that isn't "greevus r badz."Nice job dude.

Actually I won on defense also, cause someone after my PO was hitting me, and lost. With Revan of course. He won but had to switch chars for that - I know that's because noone has practice with GG yet, but still, it CAN hold on defense vs Revan..somehow.

You know, plenty of people complain that GG requires so much investment to beat other teams, but doesn't that just mean there's a whole lot less power creep than previous teams? Which is something else people complain about

Congrats man. The team is definitely viable. I think the real problem is the investment (I've done both revan and grievous... grievous is way harder, revan is heaps better).Some of us vets spent 4950 character shards just to 7* grievous back in the day (before he was put into fleet shipments, that was the only way to do it). That's equivalent to fifteen 7* characters fyi. We then had to wait 2.5 years for grievous to be useable for pretty much any game mode. Then this team requires heavy gear, zetas, and 2 marquee characters that are super important to make the team really work. Hopefully you guys can see why a. it was hyped and b. Why people are a bit upset that it didn't shake up the (very boring) meta that exists right now. I really hope carrie stays true to her words on reddit and considers the points nottagoon raised on his Reddit post. --Nottagoon:'Two things I would love for you to consider.Tweak this team to make it worth the investment. Not a huge soul crushing tweak, but make it a little bit better than a 9 month old traya meta. (Which destroyed my maxed Droid team.)Give us the option to pull our gear and zetas and omegas from a product we don't feel is what we were shown and give us the option to reuse the gear. Many of us may but I generally like to have a choice and I feel that I invested this gear based on some hype that fell well short of the product.'Carrie:'I will strongly consider both your suggestions.

I just want some tweaks so that this team performs a little more competitively.

How I got to first with General Grievous

Hmm i took his comment to mean cg giving us the mats back and reverting the toons back to ungeared state, as a one time thing. Similar to what they did with daka.

Like i said, i don't want that. I'd much prefer some tweaks.

But it doesnt seem like it needs tweaks. People just jumped to conclusions too fast and got all foaming-at-the-mouth angry when the could not take first on auto with their 4* characters with B team mods.

Uh yea, he definitely does need tweaks. He is still garbage, and a HUGE disappointment.

@Sarbitar : Getting first is nice, but I can "get first" with the nightsisters.Im curious to know how far did you fall after getting first??? Be honest...

@Ninjah9 I woke up on 37. I have my payout at 2PM.

And sorry but no - Nightsister won't get you to first, not on my shard. I have a few people with maxed NSs on my guild and with Revan>310 speed this just won't do, at least not reliably. I fought 15 revans yesterday, and lost like twice. Honestly. Not any Ns team in my top100.

I agree with @VonZant as for the climb.

As for the tweaks - there are some simple ones that would make them viable. Damage immunity on first run? Too overpowered in my opinion and you can't actually explain this skill in any way and connect it to lore. B1 immune to %health damage for instance would solve pretty much. And B2 can't be countered and voila.

Um, sorry yes ns do beat Revan teams, and they do it way better than GG teams. If there's no NS in your top 100, it's because no one figured it out in your shard...

All the Revans in my top 30 are maxed out. I'm at #12, and the other guy using ns is at #3. Both of us take #1st daily...

If you're ok with an all revan arena, then great for you. But most think it is boring as hell, even most revan players. The last meta we had, had at least 4 teams competing. Now just one. Winning on offense does have value, but having a team with no viable counter is ridiculous, a totally bad move by the devs. As of right now the game is broken. Unless they create a counter to Revan that can still be beat by other teams, this game will die.
