Yet another GG topic

So far, GG, b1 and B2 are great on 3v3.
Also, in TW I’ve taken GG solo against a leftover Nest. GG eventually wins.

B1 always starts the match with 100 stacks. If you attack him, B2 laces your team. If you attack B2, B1 reheals him. If you attack GG, B1 reheals him AND B2 laces your team.

B1 needs all speed. B2 needs all potency mods, and offense. GG needs health and speed.

That's honestly how i'd beat the team. What i'd do is send in a bunch of weak toons first, that way GG kills B1 and weakens B2. Then send in a weaker but stronger team to finish off the squad.

No need to waste anything good on a GG led team, just send in some weaklings and watch the team kill itself. or better yet, use aoe weaklings that can slightly survive to weaken b1 even faster.

If I can make you forego of 1st match win, that's good enough for me.

Why? Almost 100% of my matches no one ever clears the board and I have won every single GA match but one. Taking a territory is better then not at my gp lvl. If you give me a team I don't have to waste good toons on to win, then thank you. In every GA fight they have gone multiple hits on me, I've seen my Bast/Hoda/GK squad go 9 defences. Difference is there is that they won't ever die no matter what gets thrown at them.

Though I do realise now with some thought that B1 seems to regain back to 100 stacks each time, in which case that's rather fun. Still, the only reason its got defences is because it is new. Claiming GG is a good defender the first GA he's existed in where people don't know how to fight him yet is misleading. We already know that multiple teams of three can walk over GG in a 5man.

I don't remember I claimed anything. This is 3*3 so not fully representative of a normal match (even though CG artibrarily decided it's fine to do %50 of the GAs this way). Neither is my team built or modded good, I just slapped on random ones.

At my GP though every match is either a full board clear or something close to that where the only remaning team is backzone meta surprisers. So it boils down to efficacy. And I'm only at the beginning of 4.x M GPs, there's no other tier going from here so efficacy gets even more crucial.

With this topic I just wanted to raise a question, does anyone consider the investment in secondary teams a waste? If not and besides the major dissapointment we are all experiencing about seperatist droids, they are not a dumpster fire either.

Lastly when I wrap up building them, they are obviously better used in offense. I will take down what I can sink my teeth in with them. Ns, Traya, Bh, dunno yet. First gotta need experience. Obviously they won't get my arena mods, so they won't even have a remote chance against either rebels or revan.

I don't mean this in a derogatory way, but what are you trying to say?
You think a grievous team is below average and easily countered by teams you don't need to clear the other teams?
I'm not yet sure if i'm going to gear the grievous team, but by the looks of it it's definately an asset for tw/ga purposes. The only downsides that are keeping me from gearing/zeta-ing them is the 2 marquees and the rather hefty zeta requirements. But i think the grievous team is atleast on par with the other TW/GA teams like BH, FO, NS etc etc.

To me it depends on what you mean by secondary teams. For anyone who started late (let’s say 1.5/2+ years after release), the definition is not obvious. I would use the word « optional » because i think that’s what you mean. For example, i consider that my roster has not a single optional team in it. The closest would probably be my qi’ra team, and they are still g8-g9.
I’ve been playing for 15-16 months and there is not a single team i worked on just because i wanted to. It would require me to go out of my way and slow down my overall growth so i don’t do it. It’s all about requirements, has been forever.

So i would guess what you call a secondary team is a team that you build not because of requirements. In that case i think the new GG team is interesting and strong enough. But the fact is i personally will not be building that team in 2019(Unless CG makes it yet another requirement^^) because it’s not useful enough to push me out of my current way. Maybe that’s what is upsetting people. They were hoping the new sep droids would be useful enough to allow them to work on the team without falling behind in the grand scheme of things.
