    I’m sure you know this, but GAS and MALAK are not just “available” with the raid currency, you do still have to finish their event. So GAS isn’t a 1.5 month farm, you can only use those tokens to buy him after you’ve done the event

      @@Spooky_515 I think 6 months from scratch is closer. Each of the GET toons is 1.75 months if you solely farmed them. Obviously Ewoks / shard farms take about 3 months, so when factoring in the gear and relics I think 6 is a good estimate. (And I’m now realizing that If you’re talking about a new account, taking in the time to get to lvl 85, yeah you’re probably right with 10 months)

    Great list. Only nitpick I have is that I would suggest Starck over Gideon for the initial Veers squad for two reasons: Makes the Assault Battle easier to complete at lower gear levels. More importantly, doubles as a SEE requirement.
    Gideon is a great character and does a lot of plug and play work, but I think for accounts that are in the phase of building core teams it's more important to be resource efficient so getting that "free" GL requirement is a pretty huge boost.

    Nice vid! One thing about BHs is that the Aurra Sing One Shot lead team should have been the key one here. She's required for Jabba (but it obviously works with her being way less powerful) so having that team that can almost instantly annihilate a scary enemy is kind of incredible. Far better than whatever Bossk lead's grindy war of attrition will be. The chance to just take lower powered BHs under Aurra in there, get Mando's contract and eliminate that one scary guy is invaluable as a core team!

    I see where you are coming from with the comment on Darth Revan and conquest - they absolutely wreck if you get the conquest card that puts thermal detonators on targets when they accumulate debuffs as they can stack debuffs so quickly, but even moreso than Imperial Troopers they're glass cannons because of the way ferocity works. Also DR's health equalization zeta cannibalizes other team members to keep him going, which is very appropriate, but not great for conquest! They're not a great "come from behind" team, once they start losing, it's hard to turn things around. I've actually found for conquest, adding Zeta Han Solo helps on a lot of nodes that don't feature a pre-taunter as he pre-stuns anyone likely to get in the way of getting DR's Insanity off against the leader first up.

    Controversial pick: Ad Rad Rogue 1 with a side helping of MM. Both go hand in hand. Bistan and Rebel pilots now have homes under MM and Ad Rad. A decent Rebel fleet is going to help in GAC and TW. Ad Rad is awesome in Conquest and useful in GAC and TW. MM = Geo TB and RotE TB and for cleaning up some GLs e.g. LV. Also several GL, SK and Profundity reqs.

      If you haven't already, find a guild that does LS Hoth (TB) so you get easy ROLO shards, and possibly DS Geo in order to get Wat shards (just get your Geos to G12 so you can help guildmates get him as well).
      I think these 2 are available in a store now, but for store currencies you'll need for gear, so it's still better to get them through TBs... And higher-end guilds often don't do those TBs anymore, so you gotta take advantage while you're still kind of low level and can't be in those guilds that do the new higher TBs you'll definitely wanna do later.

      @monnommeregarde1114 Рік тому +1

      Not only does JC suck: his ship does, too. If you want a healer ship on your GR fleet, get PloKoon's instead.
      And any GR char will be better than JC on your Padmé team... which will need to include GK to be relevant, unless you throw in CAT and Mace, or your team is much faster (and preferably higher relic) than your opponent's. A zeta'd GK will enable your Padmé team to attack much higher GP teams than itself and do OK on defense, if your chars are well-modded.
      The only "better team" that's worth breaking up your standard Padmé team (Anakin, Ahsoka and GK) so you can put GK and Ahsoka in it (and CAT, if you get her beforehand so you use her as your 5th with Padmé), is JMK's. Which is a pretty long grind, as it requires four R7 toons (including Wat) and two R8... Also, you really want to have CAT on his team, so it's not really worth putting all your efforts into his grind if you can't farm her shards effectively yet.

    GAS is a luxury team. They’re good, but they don’t do anything exclusive (e.g. AB) and I’d focus on other things first. Even with the economy changes they’re not easily obtained.
    In place of that I’d say Nightsisters are a core “team” because you only need Daka on relics to clear battles in hard conquest and for the AB. One of the best bangs per buck in the game, especially from HDB.
    I’d also really recommend TFP over RG in the empire team - plays more to the debuff synergy and is an Executor req - the others for that journey are all over the basic teams.

    • @CalvinAwesome
      @CalvinAwesome  Рік тому +1

      I assume you mean luxury for beginning game, he's crucial for mid-end game for PVP and TB. Clones also do some tiers of an AB. NS would be a good start into them, especially with Asajj being needed for him.

      @@CalvinAwesome GAS is /a/ team that can win those battles, not /the/ team that can win them, so he’s not critical, just useful.
      Clones (BB aside) doing T1 AB would require some dead end investments and the same AB can be done with rebels.
      It’d be weird to skip him long term but he’s not available early game and late game he’s just another solid team, especially now with no LSGeo.
      Same could be said of GG, though droid events (and hokey challenges for conquest) are a thing so his absence is more obvious. DSGeo is still something people play, as well. Easier team to get too, just needs patient shopping.
