The only thing I can suggest is always making sure that you have a good bugs counter. If you don’t see bugs in the front wall, they are definitely in the back wall
Really want hynsey to come on this channel more. He is amazing! Cubs your content is fantastic too and keep up this great work. Love SWGOH and DSA thanks to you
Hynesy really seems like a very chilled, cool and clever person. I really enjoy listening to him, even watch him talk :D He appears to know his stuff and without having seen any of his videos yet, I would think he indeed really does know his stuff. Nice video cubs, nice collab :) - edited because grammar is difficult lol
wait so... this is a normal, cross the board thing? airplane mode? I've heard of it a being done a long time ago but, i felt like it's cheating and I've never utilized it. Kinda takes the fun out of the whole battle in my opinion.
I wouldn't consider it cheating. They have retreat as an option in battles anyway. Airplane mode, or force closing, just does the same thing regardless of whether it's your turn.
How is it cheating? You still lose the battle. It's the same as retreating when you screw up. It just makes sure you don't mess up so badly you can't beat the team.
The biggest mistake I made this week was completely forgetting to join this round. I was holding off joining until after I would receive my 20th zeta mat through fleet shards, only to completely space out after giving the zeta to Arc Trooper.
That's definitely the right strategy depending on your roster. I just beat someone with gl kylo cause they couldn't get through either of my front zones

What are good teams to use in Grand arena on defense whether it be a 3v3 or 5v5. I tend to make the mistake of putting teams that are better on offense on defense instead.
Mistakes i see people do all the time #1 they underestimate my Relic Count Dooku #2 Put in predictable defense such as bugs #3 if you have a Gas and your opponent doesnt him that means he cant beat you. Put him on defense. This works for other things as well. Just think logically. #4 INVEST IN FUCKING MODS! Saw people with relic 7 characters with crappy mods #5 invest in defensive teams. 6# INVEST IN DEFENSIVE TEAMS. dont think because u left only 1 good defensive team in your row you are unbeatable. Your opponents ewoks may surprise you. #7 DONT USE FUCKING EWOKS ON DEFENSE. THEY ARE A WASTE OF DEFENSIVE TEAMS. GOES FOR PHOENIX AS WELL.
Anyway you can do a beginner ship guide? I recently got back into the game after a couple of years and just unlocked fleet battles and all that and some info on ships would be super helpful thanks for all the videos man keep up the great work !
@@CubsFanHan love them both! Dont mind which you use. I think the new one is very cool. Otherwise i was wondering why you dont use the one you use for DSA for SWGOH sometimes and the new one you use for SWGOH can now also work for DSA. My favourite is the one you use for DSA.
Been playing for a couple of months now love the game need to ask is it best to make a mod set for each individual character. I have seen the loadout tab how does that work ??
My number 1mistake in gac? Not shutting app down between sessions- *CLIENT MUST BE RESTARTED* while you just about finished that group separating you from defeat and that back row and the team you used was the only counter...
yo cubs, you sure that airplane mode thing works? i tried it and i still registered a lost and my team that i used is no longer available....just as if i lost in a regular fight without doing any "airplane mode trick"
The trick isnt , that it saves you a loss, it's that if you battle in airplane mode and lose then you can close the game and even though it will still count as a loss, you can take another team in and your opponents toons wont have pre-loaded turn meter and start wrecking your next team before you can get an attack off
My opponent this time has G12 GL Kylo.. Anyway to counter that if he puts in in defense without gas? He doesn't have Watt Also don't have Malak ready yet Would like to know this before I set my defense now in couple of hours
@@hynesy yeah. Gonna wait to see what he'll do. Account is not that strong but it has slkr.. So I've set up little stronger Def this time. Maybe thrawn can help with kylo. 🤔
Alright this should be easy. #8&7 guilty as sin and easily my most made mistakes. Everything else I'm pretty solid with but you guys forgot one mistake many are making and don't realize it. HAVE FUN OUT THERE guys! This is a game and you should be enjoying yourself. I'm completely content with averaging 2/3 each week and having fun playing the game differently than most. You simply have to have fun. Offense gets you banners but defense wins you championships 🤙
@@hynesy I believe you, and i guess they probably wont ban anyone for using it, otherwise you wouldn't advertise it, but that doesn't changes the fact that it's an exploit. (at least in my eyes it is)
Disagree on going heavy offense. I'm 5 and 1 so far in 3v3 using heavy defense, and my one loss is because I switched up my defenses and went lighter. Everything is variable based on opponent though. And realize that the bottom row is worth a lot more points than the top row. So if you're going to stack defenses, do it in the bottom territories.
Number 1 for me is just doing Leroy Jenkins every time
The only thing I can suggest is always making sure that you have a good bugs counter. If you don’t see bugs in the front wall, they are definitely in the back wall
Or maybe that's what your opponent wants you to think, and then they're on offense and they tricked you :)

I miss GA sometimes because I’m trying to get last minute gear upgrades.
I did that a lot, too. Now, I’m setting an alarm

Thank you for your kind words really appreciated bud.
I've unlocked GAC like yesterday this vid is just in time ,thanks Cubs :D
Have fun with it dude! It's the epitome of SWGOH content imo!
Congrats, it's a ton of fun!
Hey Cubs :) great video with Hynesy with great information :) much needed :) thank you both for coming out and keeping the content flowing :)
1). Double check you hit the button to join so going 5 of 6 in the first two rounds does not go wasted. Le sigh
Hey cubs this is my first GAC. Will definitely keep these in mind. Thanks😊. Love your vids...
Just had my first GAC today and full cleared. Nice timing on the vid for me
hynesy’s got this great energy about him. please include him in more future videos!
The mistake that costs the most losses to players is not having Rey.
Good guide for Grand Arena beginners
Great content, can’t wait until 2021 when I can play Grand Arena again. The matchups are so awful.
Hynesy! These are always my favorite vids
Thank you for the airplane mode strategy. Brilliant
Hey, that’s me... what am I going to do this week? Luckily SWGOH has many other game modes I can play 😂
wait so... this is a normal, cross the board thing? airplane mode? I've heard of it a being done a long time ago but, i felt like it's cheating and I've never utilized it. Kinda takes the fun out of the whole battle in my opinion.
Yea it feels cheaty to me too. It's more of an "exploit" I guess, but I'm not overly pleased that they added it to this list tbh.
I wouldn't consider it cheating. They have retreat as an option in battles anyway. Airplane mode, or force closing, just does the same thing regardless of whether it's your turn.
How is it cheating? You still lose the battle. It's the same as retreating when you screw up. It just makes sure you don't mess up so badly you can't beat the team.
Me too.
Jason Lowe It's sketchy at best
Great video Cubs. Two thumbs up!👍

Yeah it happens a lot
That was a great video, well done boys 👏
I intentionally go over heavy on defense... that's the best thing that works for me. With how heavy I go it stalls out my opponents.
That's definitely the right strategy depending on your roster. I just beat someone with gl kylo cause they couldn't get through either of my front zones
Cubs H is your guild leader 😱😱
He's a beast 💪🦘 💪
Excellent Collaboration 💖
2 people felt personally attacked by all the mistakes cubs listed

Can you link the resources discusses in the video to view your opponents? I'm not familiar with them.
What is the website called to get the tips? I kept missing it
Mistakes i see people do all the time
#1 they underestimate my Relic Count Dooku
#2 Put in predictable defense such as bugs
#3 if you have a Gas and your opponent doesnt him that means he cant beat you. Put him on defense. This works for other things as well. Just think logically.

Awwwww thx man
@@hynesy Ohh, the man himself! Didn't expect you to read that comment. Stay the way you are mate 😉
@@disruptor6550 Dude Thx for your support man! Yeah of course I read them all and answer when I can bro.
Number 1 definitely should have been forgetting to set your defense.. not that that's happened twice in a row..
Please use the old Intro, i like that more 😀
No
I believe he said he’s gonna be still using both
Yep it’s not old and new it’s just another one. I’m gonna use both :)

Dope Oakley shirt
Thx man
I can't find those Battle Logs
If you go into a Swgoh.gg profile there are options listed 4th one down is called GAC history. Those are the battle logs.
@@hynesy Thank, now I see where to go but I just get Data errors the whole time
How to improve your GAC gameplay - Step 1 Pull out wallet, Step 2 Purchase packs, Step 3 Purchase more packs.... etc
The biggest mistake is to get matched with group of 7 players with GL and I have none. Automatic loss :(
Yeah matchups need to be looked at when it comes to GLs
Been playing for a couple of months now love the game need to ask is it best to make a mod set for each individual character.
I have seen the loadout tab how does that work ??
My number 1mistake in gac? Not shutting app down between sessions- *CLIENT MUST BE RESTARTED* while you just about finished that group separating you from defeat and that back row and the team you used was the only counter...

ahhh, i see. ok i totally misinterpreted the concept......thanks a bunch KONP
Where is the GAS event
Number one mistake definitely not hitting join
Oh man we need some more Hynesy on here lol
Cubs can only pay my appearance fee from time to time bahahahaha
Mistake 1: Giving a S***. Auto deploy let's go!
i sometimes set one team to piss people off i hate gac. i have won 3-4 times never once attacking. especially hate 3v3
For anybody that thinks their GAC defense and offense is special and should be kept a secret, it's been done by someone else your setup is not special
I hate grand arena.. rewards suck, matching sucks, nothing fun.
Im not the only one, i see comment like that all the time
he's using the music from vixen
My opponent this time has G12 GL Kylo.. Anyway to counter that if he puts in in defense without gas?
He doesn't have Watt
Also don't have Malak ready yet
Would like to know this before I set my defense now in couple of hours
Only GAS is your option unfortunately
@@hynesy damn
@@hynesy even though it's hux lead and kylo is g12? + sith trooper
@@DavorBertovic Gonna be TOugh. you can try JKR or Darth Revan but im not confident. Leave Kylo to last to Keep his mastery drain down. Good luck bud.
@@hynesy yeah. Gonna wait to see what he'll do. Account is not that strong but it has slkr.. So I've set up little stronger Def this time. Maybe thrawn can help with kylo. 🤔
dont go light on defense. Set 2/3 of your top teams in defense. get a stop so opponent dont clear
you are much better with you lower tier teams than rng
Hope yo get on caiber soon jeje and get 1 at the all 3 arenas as f2p 1 ready 2 to go
Meh ive been undefeated on this tournament so far
Mistake #1 Hynesy does: Preloads.
Bahahaha

The airplane trick sound an awful lot like cheating. Or at the very least exploiting.
It’s a strategy that has and is being continuously used since PVP was brought into this game.
@@hynesy I believe you, and i guess they probably wont ban anyone for using it, otherwise you wouldn't advertise it, but that doesn't changes the fact that it's an exploit. (at least in my eyes it is)
my Biggest GAC mistake I'm making is not playing this trainwreck of a game...
Don't play a shit cashgrab game, won't make mistakes. That easy.
airplane mode is CHEATING!
mike rozon “If you ain’t cheatin’, you ain’t tryin’”
-Bill Belicheck
(At least that’s who should have said it.)
Airplane mode sounds like cheating. 🤔
"Just search them the info is all there" no half the time it is not
Try finding the guy named sky in the dankstar guild for me if you think otherwise
@cg bring back gas already
Is airplane mode considered cheating by the devs? Having a little debate about that in our guild right now.
TBH I hate GAC. We can only hope there will be real content coming. (Not holding my FTP breath on that)
Disagree on going heavy offense. I'm 5 and 1 so far in 3v3 using heavy defense, and my one loss is because I switched up my defenses and went lighter. Everything is variable based on opponent though. And realize that the bottom row is worth a lot more points than the top row. So if you're going to stack defenses, do it in the bottom territories.
All players have a different strat. GAC strats are like haircuts, everybody has a diff one!
