Maybe as its own video, maybe as a subset of the characters that need extra relics, but a video on valuable relics for fleets would be interesting. So many relics invested in high end fleets (R9 sass and iden, R8 plo, etc.) I would be interested in your take on which ones provide the most value.
As someone (like I sure a lot of the players), whose life is very complicated, this is a perfect quick hit video which helps keep us focused. Every roster is different, but general rules are helpful. Additional quick videos on toons not to gear or to gear would be great.
Great video! Btw, you mentioned Boba can slot in for the Jabba team, and can be especially effective “if you can land disintegrate” - I’m guessing you got Mando’s disintegrate mixed up with Boba’s Execute?
@@CalvinAwesome I’d love to see a video detailing a list of characters with the most variable modding options. 😄 Since many if-not most characters generally have a single standard way to optimally mod, It’d be awesome to pick your brain on which characters you see as having the most mod depth/flexibility.
Saw is really really good in GAC. There's a lot of holds coming from Saw and a lot of great characters can go with him. MM does have Wedgecron or Drogancron right now, but you can make Saw nasty just to a lesser extent right now in 5s.
Ezra does also work with GL Leia quite well. And super useful early game because he's on the same cantina node as Kanan, and deals a good amount of damage
@@CalvinAwesome Why not? What's the optimal GL Leia team instead? I'm seeing Ezra perform more consistently than other lineups and he's homeless otherwise
I came back to the game about 11 months ago after stopping in late 2016. I had no idea what Relics even were, and my understanding of what characters were powerful was frozen in time. As I hit Lvl 85, I took Princess Leia to R5. With Ackbar's leadership my strategy for everything was "Hope for Triple Tap." It kinda worked for a while LOL Thankfully I got smarter before I to Jedi Consular or Luminara to Relics too.
Farmboy Luke is R4 with zeta and Omi. He's so much fun! Not good, but a great time. Use in TW as lead for Nest and Wampa, and other 2 can be Storm trooper Han and.... A body.
Star Wars dad may ground you when Nooch sees the Carth take. Red 5 with farmboy is probably likely. A CLS Rogue Leader X-Wing with R2 that synergies with X-Wings (similar to the TIE synergy) would be better. Release that with a pilot-less A-Wing, B-Wing, Endor Millenium Falcon, and a (this is a stretch) Alliance Carrier capital ship (from rebels) with a Genetal Hera Syndulla crew (yes, jumping time periods) and I think you can get to 3 fully integrated rebel fleets. Also opens up a potential "rebel general / rebel officer" tag (gen syndulla, gen Han Solo, gen calrissian, gen jan dodonna, gen carlist rikien, gen crix madene, etc.) Please excuse the random fan musings of what the game could do...
I put gamo to R8 for platoons. I wouldn't recommend it but I've made the most of it. He's come in handy as filler in conquest, TB missions, and helped me win a few GACs when we had the nutso defense-cron
I'd like to see a video about WHEN to add high relics to certain characters. For Example: Royal Guard. Worth R9, but if I am not going for Lord Vader anytime soon, maybe it's one to be skipped. For me, right now, it's my case with Maul. Mine is R6... But I don't have either LV or Armorer (my Armorer is 6 stars), so...my Mandalorian team isn't any strong anyway. It does what it has to do now, so I am going to take him to higher relics only after other projects
@@rodwinter1978 nice! Just add a G11 ISC and maybe a G9 Gar and you should be able to demolish various teams (especially as you up ISC’s gear and Relics)
Early on in SWGOH Farmboy was one of my go-to guys. He got WAY too big and now he's borderline useless. Edit: Played early on as a collector and fan... not a gamer. Luke's definitely not my only mistake.
Thanks to the light speed bundles I now have a R5 no Zeta a long with his droid....and I can say it's made no difference in the Ebon Hawks capabilities
Not much to disagree with here but my r8 Gam would like a word lol. In my defense when he first came out a lot of people were saying double tank so I took him to r7. Then the raid hit and it was just math. Easier to take him to 8 than it is skiff from 5 to 8. I don't regret it tho. With Embo there's only one lightside character so a lot of times more of the team benefits from datacrons instead of only a few.
After Gerbils video on Phoenix I picked Ezra, Kanan and Chopper to go with CRex and Hera…..and I’m not disappointed -> countering Inquisitors in GAC is not bad!! Plus he can as a Jedi help JML in ROTE if you have to platoon JKL, Hoda, etc
Disagree with you on Ezra, Zeb only works if you put Sabine in the Phoenix team, and there is a strong argument to put Sabine in mandos, especially after the teams split. I would replace him with Tarfull. Sure Tarfull has a datacron that is doing interesting things right now, but if a character is not worth relicing without a datacron, it's not worth relicing for a datacron. The wookiies just are so much a C-level team that they're not worth the investment.
Agreed on Carth, but Second sister is not something I don't agree with. Her ship alone is make it worth the relic 5. Yes, you made the mistake for Relic 7, but nowadays, nobody sensible would relic any of the base Inquisitors above Relic 5 lol (also slice that mod as you're punishing her ship by not having all your mods at 6*) Also I think you're wrong that Sabine is the idea person for the Rex Phoenix team as she's more often than not on another team (as you said), so Zeb or Ezra are usually there for that spot and even then, having relic 3 Ezra doesn't hurt as it helps as a filler jedi and the ship, which is nice for the Rebel Fleet.
Yeah R5 is absolutely needed for 2S due to GI alone. Sabine is definitely the ideal for phoenix. I've dug more into the numbers after some comments here and it's not close the difference she's making.
@@CalvinAwesome To me, ideal would indicate that she's more useful there than anywhere else, which I have to disagree on there. She's far more useful with Mandos and Phoenix are doing fine without her with Zeb as her replacement. Again, this is purely from my own experiences and those shared with me within the guild.
I focus on ships... a lot. Though i didnt relic Carth, as you said his ship gets its job done on the reinforcement...but i bumped all rebel crew up including ezra to eek out everything i can from the fleet. Hopefully i will get leviathon this next go around. And when i dobi will bump sith assasin to r7 just for the ship aspect. Cause right now if i run across an r5 assasin, i usually win...r7 and percent goes way down.
Yeah, I left my carth at g12, and the only reason he is r5 now is cause of the hyperdrive bundles we recently gotten. Carth and young lando were freebies when going for the resistance characters that I wanted out of them. Yeah I wish gamu and mob enforcer were better. Maybe allow mob enforcer to help bounty hunter contracts and give gamu the chance to auto taunt so he can maybe be somewhat useful with aphra or buff him again to work better with jabba to allow krrsantan to go with aphra or wookies. Ackbar and leia I still get holds in migh kyber 3 and low kyber 2 here and there. For now. I'll be replacing that team with Cera ufu since the akbar leia team also rocks fulcrum. Hoth soldier needs a rework for sure. Or some touch up to make him better. So he can be another rebel fighter tank for varous teams.
Ngl, this video seem like a good possibility to get the word out there of not gearing Zombie too far up for many teams for her to work, ive seen many doing that making her so bad; an irreversible mistake
This is where I get cranky sometimes in Conquest. There have been several times that a feat popped up where we're at a high level and I'll read that I can get a few extra points if I put Farmboy Luke or the like on a team and he has to survive. I... that's just mean, EA/CG.
With carth you can even make the argument of him only needing g8 or so. For dr you only need him at 7* and for malak you can use canderous and juhani which are both better. For eh to work as intended you don’t need that high gear on the pilots as basically all you want is the reinforcement ability and maybe the ship surviving one more turn to prelong chaff
Great video as always Calvin! I have a question about the Reva mission. My guild has about 30 GIs, but we usually only get about 15-18 Reva shards per TB…is that success rate normal? I know the Reva mission is very hard, just wondering your thoughts on it. Thanks Calvin!
I'm not sure what is normal, but much better can be done. With proper mods and strat it is quite hard to lose that mission. You could be in the 25+ shard group for sure
I've actually had good experiences with my R7 Gam Guard in the Krayt raid on my jabba team - though with Krayt raid going away I can't say I'd recommend that to people making that investment now - I don't have Embo, and I use Boba on a different team
I'd recommend getting Embo when you can. He's good on his own but his Omicron can really come in handy in TW. Plus a buff dispel on his basic = chef's kiss.
I have Akbar at R8 and Leia at R7 with both omnis and get holds all the time in GAC. Over shot guessing for Leia and then the need for the platoon is how I got there but still have been rather pleased with them. Not for everyone, but with the right comps and mods they can do some serious work
Saw is the main thing putting me off getting Cal, he needs 400 kyro just to get to G12 and he's just going to sit in my roster and do nothing afterwards. I get that Cal is amazing but that seems like such a waste
The main reason i even went g12 at ezra is that he imhas been part of the required phoenix conquest team so far, but i suspect that is going away eventually, and then their isnt much reason to go beyond g8, maybe g11 to max the ability on the ship hes in
Note on Ezra: If you're in the early game with phoenix, he's actually better than Kanan until you get Kanan's Zeta since he lets the turn meter roll. Definitely dump him the second you get kanans zeta though.
@@CalvinAwesome neh its not the ability to remove taunt and buffs is better than the stagger wich can be resisted and taunt can prevent you from eveb hitting the staggered again. theres a whole video about itnin detail how ezra is way better.
Ezra is quite a good character, I have him od Relic 7 and he fits in so many teams. But yes, you could spend them relics on much much better characters.
Yeah that's ultimately what it boils down to. And anyone who got Ezra to relics months or years ago probably has gotten some good mileage he's just been outgrown for newer rosters with more options
I agree with you on all of those picks, it is on fortunate because Ezra is one of my favorite characters in rebels and so I want to use him but it just does not make sense. I hope that they rework him or have him fit into another team in the future.
I'm not sure what you're looking at. Using insight over the last 5 5v5 seasons combined. Teams universally beat Boba as fifth 55% of the time Teams universally beat Embo as fifth 52% of the time Teams universally beat Gam as fifth 65% of the time.
good for those who run krayt raid on the lowest difficulty even if they are g12. i use him with just 3 other toons. zaal/mission/carth all g12 i pull like 220-270k. outside of that, you can use him on tw def on the very back wall or use to combat lesser g12 teams like ewoks, first order (no gl) KRU team, nightsisters, phoenix (no captain rex), a few other weakish teams but that's it really lol
Everyone but Mob enforcer, Hoth Solider, Leia, and Farmboy need to be r5 min 😂 i dont know wtf your talking about half of them have ships. And Saw is great Gam guard is great with Aphra or in GAC as a 2nd tank also needed for platoons.
a top 10/5 signs to leave a guild would be lovely 5.5m gp player here wondering if i should aim for 330m+ GP guilds. my goal is simply to start earning droid brains so i can take my R8 LV to R9 and also to help im making my piett/exec stronger
Ezra is the best in the Phoenix crew, The Gerbil made a great breakdown of the best characters to use with Captain Rex, using charts and data to support it all. He overall does more damage than Sabine does, the link to the video is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7qrJTrP84pY.html
