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 appreciate you taking the time to come up with some ideas and initiating this conversation.'--Personally i don't want the zetas and gear back, i actually really like the team and the mechanics. I just want some tweaks so that this team performs a little more competitively.

How I got to first with General Grievous

@Nikoms565 they are all g12 and 7*...

You can’t really expect to be able to compete with maxxed revan teams that probably have at least 5 zetas and are modded as strong as possible unless you put up some sort of equivalent...

So, like 700 dollars, to get an offense only tw team?
Is this some sort of out of season Aprils fool joke?

I hope you get a big cut from CG for trying to trick people into this deal, which may be the worst deal in history.

I spent the zetas and omegas feels like a big regret. I’ve lost probably 8 in a row after the first win.

Here’s my swgoh profile.

Any suggestions for my mods would be great. I’ll admit my droideka and B1 are only 4* though

Nice job dude.

He is not bad. It is just the most backloaded team we have ever seen. The team is pretty good (but can’t beat meta teams except for Revan on offense and loses to all on defense), but they need to be full g12 7 stars with zetas to get there. And before that point, the team is useless garbage. No other team needs this much gear and this many zetas to be effective, so in a way GG is still a trash team.

That's a big bag of health he's got. I never realized how important G12 was to him. I've had Greivous at G11 for a long time and modded for health once the rework came through, but I'm only sitting at about half of that. Good to know.

Assuming you had a Health triangle instead of that Speed triangle, what primary/secondary stats would you look for? Still crit damage primary, or health primary?

@NicWester I think I would still go for crit damage. Actually I changed it now, just don't have it on 6*. He's got plenty of health and I don't think he needs more to be effective.

I have a 6* health mod with +16% health, giving him 61k health total but also with +20speed and that would make him too speedy, and b2 has to go before him.

I'll switch to more health tomorrow and see where that gets me.

Not trash, but certainly not worth the investment; yet. We could very well see a Clone/Galactic Republic legendary requiring these droids this year.
