I'm seriously peeved about how the release of Shoretrooper was handled. Not only was he locked away in chromiums, but he was also made completely irrelevant with the introduction of Baze, also in chromiums, who can do the one thing Shore is used for, and then does 4-5 other things. But want to know the best part? No one buying chromiums will even use Shoretrooper. They're going to use Baze, who, as I said, is better in every way. Meanwhile, all ftp who tried hard to earn their Shoretroopers in tourneys, with the hope of using him as a counter to so many other meta ptp toons, now don't even get to 7* him. Sure, he's 'basically' just as good at 3* compared to 7* since he just needs his instataunt, but then why lock ftp players from taking him to 7*, when whales won't even use their own Shoretroopers. To put this into perspective, I have a reference for all Walking Dead fans: We basically just had our hard-earned mattresses stolen by people wanting our mattresses, but then they just burned our mattresses because they don't actually need our mattresses.

We agree about baze and shore. What a joke.

Yup the way these new releases happened were really bad

man, the people that whaled for shore in the first tourney! yours truly was in the skykrak shard.gonna take at least that many crystals to 7* baze too.this whole update stinks i have no problems paying for stuff, mostly gear and refreshes (3 days and im 85) but this is another level, if it were in pesos instead of dollars i wouldnt mind. butdam

shore under ep still beats baze Plus like u said tfp is available ..So right now u can have ep + shore + tfp maxed ready for arena...How soon will we see baze + monk in arena...Stop seeing drama when there is not...All toons has a 3 months expiration date in this game since its release... (Except Rex lol but he finally got it now).I don't see baze + monk being a real issue in next 2/3 months... Except maybe 10/15 whale in the game that will have them both maxed...

Thanks for Making Shoretrooper Irrelevant and PTP

Does Shore also dispel all enemies, dispel another enemy, and have some pseudo-wiggs synergy? Baze is 100% better. Also, no, I will not have Shore maxed for arena because I can't finish his shards, no matter how much gear I give him. EP lead TFP Chirrut Baze +1 will eternally be a better team than with Shore instead. I bet even having Baze in there alone is still better, because then you don't need to waste a spot with B2.

On that note, I can see the new meta being EP lead TFP Chirrut Baze SF.

For sake of argument let me just "beat" that team of yours with a current FTP team

Qgj lead, wiggs anakin b2

Ultrafast qgj lead, dispels baze,
Anakin buff immunity on tfp
Wiggs assist kill ep, and wiggs aoe take tfp out of protection

Next anakin aoe your tfp is dead
Wait for monk to dispel and use ur b2 aoe buff immunity...

Game over.

So again don't think that become a toon looks cool he can replace anyone else...

Baze is awesome... Granted, but so are many other toons (shore SF GK ep tfp b2 ahsoka etc...) and he didn't invalidated them

Who says the enemy TFP doesn't go first? He has very high natural speed, and could easily go before Ani. Doesn't matter. It could go a number of ways based on mods, rng, what-have-you. The point is that releasing Baze and Shore in chromiums is incomprehensible. If you are going to buy chromiums and get both Shore and Baze to 7*, which are you more likely to use? The instataunt that does one thing, or the instataunt that is part wiggs part B2 part RG part 5s? And yes, Chirrut being preset gives Baze a counter chance and health steal of SF, which Shore also doesn't do.

Ok so let me get this straight...

12k heal + taunt on super fast cool down + Crit immunity is meh, Crit chance down while getting 20% tm (oh yeah he is under ep lead) is meh + auto heal from empire using special is meh

But crazy slow baze that will literally be killed before even taking 2 turns is op... Yeah right... (His max hp armor and resistance will be much lower shore under ep)

Oh btw anakin under qgj lead is 1 speed slower than tfp... So yeah easy to make him faster or at least we are back at seeing who has best mods... Not who has best toons...

I do agree that the implementation of both in chrome packs is dumb though, and a kick in the nuts to FTP.

Yeah agree with this. Definitely being able to run 2 distinct pre-taunt teams in tournaments at high ranks will be very useful indeed.

Aside from arena, I'd love to try Shore in P3 Heroic AAT using the Chirpatine team, but can't try that either unfortunately if he's chromium only.

Yea exactly where I want to use him, crit immunity there gives you a lot more survivability and damage potential. Plus, obviously the immediate taunt.

*spoiler alert* The best taunt combo remains RG SF sthan for high scores... Shore has more utility in other phase.

Well good thing Shore is ptp only so the ptp can use SF instead of Shore here (yes another phase he's useful, but I'm trying to make a point).

We already have guildies w 7* Baze and 7* Tie pilot in arena few hours after the update.

Yes, they are really good.

I wouldn't worry too much about Baze, the drop rate on him is so small that nobody will have him at a decent level until after they fix that. Which will be next August.

And without Baze, Chirut isn't anything super special, so nobody has to go hard in the tournament. So it all works out.

Guildie has him 7* G9, #1 on a dec shard right now.

*hihi* ... so ... Blaze & Chirrut is like having Wegde & Biggs (couple synergy) & EE/Chirpa (dispel on ally+heal+heal over time) & B2 (dispel on enemy) & Rex/Yoda (Tenacity up) & Barriss (HP equalized, heal on start of turn, +20% max hp) & Fives (counter + speed down on basic) & Shoretrooper (auto taunt on start), ... lmao ... nice ... so these 2 characters replace nearly 2 squads. However, i not sure how well it works, chirrut looks nice, really, but Blaze is the slowest char ingame now ... lets see if his lil tm gain does the deal.

At an end your rule is, Wiggs, and not short enough was it. :naughty:
