I know its a lot of work but man, i wish you would include a link or something to how to actually beat the proving ground nodes. You explain everything so clearly that it makes it much easier to follow the guides. Others... do not.
There’s a trello board with all of the team comps created by the community. I’m not sure you can post links, but if you search “trello swgoh-proving-grounds” it’s the second result for me.
If you have SEE and Malgus, you can at least 1star every single PG node with SEE, Malgus, Malak, Sith Trooper, and Traya. That's how I've been doing mine
Thoroughly enjoyed the discussion during the live stream that helped prep for this video. And great to see the finished content go live. More like this for sure.
It was cool watching the prep for this video during the live stream, the placements all make sense and I’m glad you gave Marauder some props - I like the simplicity of his kit, more defense with more buffs on the field and more offense with more debuffs. It’d be great to see this kind of video for other factions, maybe Jedi next since they’ve also got two GLs. The following Jedi Knight Cal spiel probably belongs more on a potential Jedi video in the future, but with the JKC event returning soon maybe it’ll help some people who see this. I really like JKC’s kit, namely Windmill Defense. The mass cleanse, locked Prot Up, and assist aren’t conditional on him swapping Configs, so I usually spam it after using his instakill to keep him alive. Something made easier since Dual Wield Config reduces enemy offense across the board by 2% for every stack of Impetuous he has - having the entire enemy team do only 40% of their usual damage at max stacks is pretty good. IMO it’s lot better than being in Double-Bladed or heaven forbid Crossguard Config, both are more offense oriented which isn’t too important when under JML lead or when he has other harder hitting teammates like JKL. The former has a speed boost but the latter has both a speed and defense penalty, so I make it a point to stay in Dual Wield after using his instakill. Because his base potency is so low there’s not too much incentive to use his other moves once you reach max stacks and use his instakill outside of Whirlwind Slam for Armor Shred, which is a real shame since his other moves have some pretty nice debuffs. Dual Wield Config has some pretty nice bonuses outside of the -2% offense per stack of Impetuous, 100% counter chance and +50% defense make it unlikely for JKC to die. The cherry on top is that since it lets him assist whenever another ally attacks out of turn, he can use JML’s special and if he’s not prevented from assisting, he’ll use his basic during his turn and thus still get his bonus turn. This spiel went on a lot longer than I thought it would, but I really want to spread the word on how great Windmill Defense and Dual Wield Config is. Anyway, thanks for coming to my TED Talk haha
I'm just coming back to this game after like 5 years, I lost my old account and just want to get my Sith team back. It was Emperor palatine, Vader, Nihilus, I think Thrawn, and my favorite was Sion. The grind to get everyone back to max level will be painful lol
I love this, and I also think it would be awesome if you did another video like this for Jedi, I feel like the Jedi faction is a lot more cluttered and it's a lot less clear how the teams get split
What about a video about Rebels and Rebel Fighters? I always wonder how to split all of them in MM, Sana and Saw (without DC!) teams. Some Admiral Raddus team comps from them will be great too: I will plan to use AR, Jynn, Cassian, K2SO and Scariff Rebel Pathfinder and always wonder if it's the right way to go or not.
Hi Calvin! Do you think CG will give Darth Vader an Omicron or just upgrade him in the long run considering that he is the face of the entire SW saga or they will continue this trend of just releasing a specific Datacron to buff the characters temporarily? Oh man! I would like to farm the Sith Empire team but i am full on the Executor to unlock it on May and I will have Wat on November at 7* to unlock Kenobi so I have a busy year for now 😂 I enjoyed the video a lot. Cheers!
I'm close to unlocking Darth Bane and have no idea who to pair him with. I haven't worked much on siths and currently I have Darth Vader at relic 4 and Darth Talon at relic 5(LSB) sitting around. Can I pair Bane with Talon at relic 5 or should I bring her up to relic 7 or 8? I rarely see her at higher relics and don't know if it'll be a waste? Or should I go for Vader as he is a requirement for SEE at relic 7, or should I just farm Dooku or Sith assassin up to relics and use them? I'd be grateful for any advice.
If I've got my team of Traya, Sion, Nihilus, Talon, and Savage, which ones should be my relic priority? I have all omicrons, and Talon will be taken to relic 5 because I'm farming Starkiller, so I guess exclude her.
@@CalvinAwesome perfect, thanks. I figured that Savage would be one of the first knowing how unkillable he becomes, but didn’t know if Traya was more important
4:37 I don’t actually agree with Malak being good with Palpatine, at least under his lead, because Malak’s unique prevents Sith allies from gaining bonus turn meter. Pretty integral to Palp’s lead.
@@CalvinAwesome Oh, my bad. Guess I need to rethink my Sith team idea. Currently Palp lead, Vader, ST, Revan and Dark Bastila, but there’d be room for changes
@CalvinAwesome sorry, let me clear that up. Your picture of you covers the names of the characters. Better if covering the level on bottom right. I dont know all the characters name off hand so if I miss who your talking about take longer to find them. Why I only watched 1 to 2 min. But that's just one person opinion do what you like with that info.
Well, a video on Jedi would seem like the logical next step. After that I'd love scoundrels.
It is only natural
Scoundrels is an insanely large faction. Might be best to do bounty hunters and all the other scoundrels in two separate vids.
I know its a lot of work but man, i wish you would include a link or something to how to actually beat the proving ground nodes. You explain everything so clearly that it makes it much easier to follow the guides. Others... do not.
So unfortunately I don't have access to PG at all. It's been one of the harder things as a content creator for me

@@CalvinAwesomegenuine question. Doesn’t it unlock for everyone once you get to 4 m GP and conquest is over?
@@dshockeybreaks if you have the character at 7*, you can’t do them anymore
Thoroughly enjoyed the discussion during the live stream that helped prep for this video. And great to see the finished content go live. More like this for sure.
Hey thanks for being there and helping! Multiple opinions is always better
Great Video! I think this could be a good series going through different factions
Need to get a better title name

I didnt even know that i needed this content, awesome fantastic!
Thanks for your feedback!
Tanks for the Video!! Really informatieve as always:)
You're welcome!

Dude that was my first arena team
Savage lead with talons zeta that gives 5% tm whenever the leader gets hurt get me holds all the time in k2
Yeah they're a great combo
I just want a badass Sith roster because they are my favorite part of Star Wars lore. I appreciate this video.
Good time to be a sith fan
I love this, and I also think it would be awesome if you did another video like this for Jedi, I feel like the Jedi faction is a lot more cluttered and it's a lot less clear how the teams get split
You're 100% right. Lol Sith splits were a bit of low hanging fruit
Top tier content as always!
Thank you!
Just unlocked malak this afternoon. Perfect timing for this video. Im going to have to figure out wwhich two sith pals to put with rev-basti-mally.
Oh fantastic
I had nihilus as my first relic, got him to 7 before I even activated traya
He's a bit of a fan favorite

Rebels are tricky, because there is some overlap. But that's probably why it's a good video

I think he'll probably just keep getting the occasional DC. They haven't done a retro Omi in over a year now
I do love video series like this one. It is definitely not Darth Maul!
Thanks for all you do!!!
You're more than welcome! Thank you for your support!

Definitely just try Talon at R5 and see if you like it.
He'll 100% kill a ton of things for you with just that, only push higher if you need it
@@CalvinAwesome Thank you! You are awesome!
Gooooood….. Gooooood….
I use Darh Maul with Traya or SEE, when I think his aoe daze can be useful. And I’m sure it really helped at least two times 😂
Lol he's a very nice catalyst for healing
Is Bane the best lead for his 2 teams of all the other remaining leads? (Excluding SEE) What about sidious or maul leads ane Bane as second?
I've seen Maul lead do fine but I'd imagine his own is best
Fun vid, good pacing
Why thank you!
If I've got my team of Traya, Sion, Nihilus, Talon, and Savage, which ones should be my relic priority? I have all omicrons, and Talon will be taken to relic 5 because I'm farming Starkiller, so I guess exclude her.
Savage > Traya > Sion > Nihilus
@@CalvinAwesome perfect, thanks. I figured that Savage would be one of the first knowing how unkillable he becomes, but didn’t know if Traya was more important
Yeah you don't want her going down from a strong AOE or something
Sounded like you got cut off during the intro😂
Oof I might've
And what is Darth Maul. BUUUURN
I am without two GLs, See and LV. One of these days I’ll farm them
One of these days
4:37 I don’t actually agree with Malak being good with Palpatine, at least under his lead, because Malak’s unique prevents Sith allies from gaining bonus turn meter. Pretty integral to Palp’s lead.
It does not do that... It stops enemy Sith TM
@@CalvinAwesome Oh, my bad. Guess I need to rethink my Sith team idea. Currently Palp lead, Vader, ST, Revan and Dark Bastila, but there’d be room for changes
Wow, i caught this video early haha
Very
Excluding GL's I'm putting bane at the very top.
Easy money
Even in kyber I worry about Savage
He's a pain
@@CalvinAwesome that’s why I have him at relic 8 (that and platoons haha)
Having you picture top right is silly you should cover the bottom left not seeing the name of what your talking about is
The top right?
@CalvinAwesome sorry, let me clear that up. Your picture of you covers the names of the characters. Better if covering the level on bottom right. I dont know all the characters name off hand so if I miss who your talking about take longer to find them. Why I only watched 1 to 2 min. But that's just one person opinion do what you like with that info.
put some respect on Lord Maul name.. :)
I could get behind a Lord Maul
Can't wait for Jar Jar to be added to the list
S+ Tier
Darth Jar Jar
