Hey all,So I am trying to unlock baze and I wish I had saved shards when he was in the shard store as I ignored him thinking he would be rubbish, but turns out he is really good and one of the top characters to have at 7 star and in the yellow, but I cannot for the life of me get past the stage before the one baze is on (9-C) - Hard. i have an ally with Kenobi and I really think I would be able to compete 9-b and c at 3 stars with him, but no matter how much I refresh it never offers me the option to use him. It did in the Cantina, but not here. Is there a reason it wont ever let me use him? Or which characters should I be using?atm I am attempting it with:Lumyinara - 85 Gear Lvl XIIGM Yoda - 85 - Lvl XIIKit Fisto ^^Mace Windu - 85 Gear lvl XIAhsoka Tano - 85 Gear lvl XI have tried with commander luke and a few other strong light siders but I get to the last stage and the last few enemies destroy me in the last phase and I barely make a dent in them, but Kenobi is so good as I saw from the Cantina battles.Any help is appreciated as always

Your ally has to have used him as leader in light side battles the last time he did light side battles for you have the option of using him in light side battles.You can go into the new player section of the forum and there is a thread where people lendnout their Kenobi so if you tried there.I don't know what your roster is but Jedi are not the best option for a ls squad. Perhaps this is holding you back here.

I remember having trouble with that one. Once you get through it the next 2 or 3 lightside battles are not too bad from memory.

Maybe not a help to you immediately, but a zFinn team can beat any lightside and cantina battle without breaking a sweat.

Can I see your full roster? LS / Cantina aren't too hard.When I 3 starred all my cantina& light side nodes: my team was Wedge lead(G8) Biggs(G8) R2(G10) Jyn(G8) Leia (G8)Wedge, Biggs, Leia didn't even have any meaningful mods. Probably they had 30 speed arrow at best and that was it.Of course it took me some days (a week or less) & numerous G12 fast CLS allies with some zetas but I did it.Wedge lead + CLS lead is IMO the best combo for Lightside Hard nodes. Against all those AOEs they will all counterattack(CLS lead) & heal (Wedge lead) + gain turnmeter(Wedge lead). Probably that's the team that might help you get through it, with lowest possible gears.

General Kenobi was not as good as CLS. Both were G12 with decent speed, but the problem is GK's lead is not that amazing as CLS counterattack, especially for battles where you will be hit with a lot of AOEs. Also his taunt won't save your team from AOE attacks.However for Darkside 9B hard battle, against resistance, a taunting tank (KRU for me) definitely helps a lot. Because enemies don't have any sort of AOE and KRU can take insane anount of hits by himself.For me, best allies for LS/DS were:LS: CLS>Rex>GK>zQGJDS: KRUM>Thrawn>Wampa>zMaul>Nihilus

Hey :)

Thanks for your help.
My Ally code is : 847-626-148 - https://swgoh.gg/u/swgregoriou/

I struggled with the cantina ones to get three stars on the last 4 or 5 battles and using kenobi made is so easy, but I tend to upgrade jedi/sith over blaster characters

I some attention to mods would make a big difference

For example kit fitso you have a level one octagon mod and you have 3 mods in a crit damage set but you don't get set bonuses for that set til you get 4 mods.

Similarly for Yoda you have two potency set mods that give you a set bonus and 4 mods that don't give you a set bonus.

Lumi has no set bonuses at all.

Ahsoka has level 1 mods and so does mace.

Given your characters General Kenobi would be your best choice to borrow.

I had a feeling mods were something of an issue. For me I am not very good with mods. I simply collect and assign any mod with 5 dots to any character lol but at the moment a lot of my mods for my weaker characters have lvl 1 mods in order to save credits. I have 30 mil but they go so fast as it takes half a mil or so to lvl up each mod to lvl 15 and then loads more to get characters to lvl 85.

I was hoping the gear lvl would be high enough so that the mods would not make much of a difference..

Kenobi it is :)

Swgoh.gg has a great interface to help you figure out what mods you have and what mods are good and where you have issues.

I feel your pain, I never bought any shards when he was in the store, too. I finally 3*'d the node by borrowing a friend's Old Ben and using zeta Qui-Gon as my leader, so I had guaranteed dodges that would give 20% TM and boosted speed from the combination of leader abilities. Even then, I only finished Baze's 7th star a month ago, and I was farming him every day since he entered that node.

I'll say this, though--a friend of mine is 100% free to play (he spent all his money on Marvel Puzzle Quest, lol) and just finished off Baze without even unlocking his node. Instead he just bought Baze shards for crystals any time they showed up in the Shipments and he had enough to do it. So it's 100% possible to get him free if you choose to allocate your crystals to him--although doing that AND farming the node will probably be the least painful way of doing it.

Good luck!

My Alt account is l83 and 3 starred all the hard node 9 level battles using the following team:
Finn (z), poe, rey, trooper and baze, I used an ally's JTR (z)

The double zeta lead on all the resistance toons is just insane, exposes as normal with Zinn and a 70% chance on a critical. Makes it super easy

Baze is there as I don't have good speed mods yet, so his taunt saves a toon from the initial salvo

You'll get there. Mods are very, very complicated.

I've spent hours reading up and watching videos...but I reckon I'm only just figuring them out!
