Tips for Carbonite players, with an example
I am an early game 2.2M GP player in carbonite 2, and I won against a 5.9 M GP account, so I wanted to share my strategy:
I put my G12 geos with pretty good mods (more than 260 speed on alpha brood) on defense first wall, and my Qui Gon omicron team with pretty good mods (G12 Qui Gon, GMY, GK, R5 Padawan Obi Wan and Master Qui Gon) on defense first wall.
On the second wall, I put a gear 10-12 team with missing zetas, just something that can't be easily beaten by a solo character (I used Dash, Han, Chewie, BAM, Cad Bane).
The defensive fleet was pretty bad (Chimeara with geos). The opponent obviously destroyed my defense, but the banners weren't perfect, I think Qui Gon omicron was the reason, it's a really good early game team, even high GP opponents struggle against it, so I think people should farm it early game (with a relic Jedi Knight Anakin, just wait for the journey quest LST).
On offense, I used my Bossk to counter a Bossk team with more relic characters, It worked with full banners because my mods have way more speed, so don't forget to take care of your mods. I used Phoenix G12 omicron (captain Rex G11, Hera, Kanan, Sabine and Chopper G12) on a Palpatine team (R7 Palpatine and R5 Vader I think, G12 Tarkin, Thrawn and Dooku), it worked with 64 banners because of speed and because of the omicron (all zetas applied except Hera special and Cap Rex special).
I used Palpatine G12 (all zetas), Mara Jade G11 (she was almost useless), Piett G12 double zeta, Vader R7 (zeta unique, zeta special), and Thrawn (zeta unique) on a JKR (R5 all zetas) Jolee (R3) Bastilla (R4 maybe) GK (R7) GMY (R6), and I won with 62 banners because Thrawn was oneshot my GMY. The strategy was to destroy everything with Vader thanks to relic delta, and avoid counter attcks (no aoe with Mara or Piett at the beginning). I am really surprised I won this battle, I had some luck with counter attacks I think, but again, I had better mods.
The opponent put their worst fleet on defense so I destroyed it with 1 reinforcement and 75 banners.
Strategy tips for early game players:
- Put good mods on your characters, the speed really matters, you should watch mod tutorials if you struggle
- Farm the phoenix team with the journey quests, replace Ezra by Kanan, put the zeta on Kanan and the omicron on Captain Rex. I think upgrading them to relic 3 at least is a good idea.
- Use the journey quests at your advantage.
- Use relic delta at your advantage if you can.
- Look at your opponent's roster, and change your strategy. Sometimes putting almost everything on offense like I did is good, but sometimes playing defensively is better.
- Farm Qui Gon Jin omicron team, also farm Padawan Obi Wan and Master Qui Gon because their assault battle gives great rewards, they're great characters everywhere, and Padawan Obi Wan is awesome with his omicron in conquest (if you need it).
- Organize your farming. I am farming the Executor, it can be a good idea, but you can also choose to farm Leia or Jabba as your first big farm (especially Leia, because it will be easy with journey quests) or anything you want.
- If you need better advice, there are many players way better than me that can help you, you can search on the forums, on the web or on social networks.
- Do what you want and have fun. You don't have to follow the advice of anyone if you don't want to. It's a game, so have fun with the teams you like and find your own way to progress.
