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.

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

Part of it could be 6E modding, and the 4* characters, as well as practice optimising your moves.

I think sep droids could be improved for sure (especially against traya and cls teams) but they can do ok against revan when completely maxed out.

I noticed you hit rank 1 so i guess (like me) you're practicing with your grievous team against revan opponents with some pretty fine tuned mods. You need to give yourself some time to do the same with this team.

So far I've tested mod setups with very fast bb8 (so first turn order is bb8, b1,b2,GG,droideka) and very slow,tanky bb8 (b2,b1,GG,droideka,bb8).

I've also tested with b2 first, than GG aoe which applies tl, and then b1 and the rest of the squads.

In my opinion... It doesn't matter much which of those setups you'll implement (fast bb8, slow bb8, b2 first, b2 second. Of course b2 has to go before gg). I had spectacular wins and spectacular losses with either of those squads. It depends strongly what ai will do. If it focuses on only b2, you are screwed no matter what you'll do. If it focuses on GG only you are probably also dead. If ai will spread Yoda's attack you are good. That's it.

Still I think I prefer faster bb8 as this way I can fire ID sometimes. With slower it almost never happens as gg's health build up quickly kils your bb8.

Here are some of my videos.

The setup with c3,r2d2, t3, bb8 is the one I use the most against DR, and it's usually a win. It does not work against jkr.

But you need them to be well modded and in proper order of course

Yeah I'm fighting ig lead, GG,t3,bb8, ipd.

I've given zeta to ig, cause with stronger malaks you need to prevent him from healing. So far still first.

But there will be problems with 7* malak.

There's also a tm bug.
