The counter point I would like to make for Troopers is that for most early to midgame uses you only need relics on DT for it to work, and R5 on a single character for that much of a performance boost is arguably worth it any time.
@@haven6455 But not one that's recommended as first any more, as Exec into JML or Jabba is generally considered the optimal approach, and he'sarguably one of the weaker ones
Both Starkiller and Aphra are two powerful teams that don't require as many reqs as a GL. Personally I went for both of those before focussing on a GL and it meant I had at least two teams that could compete. Helped me a lot.
Interesting video! I told a guild mate that I'm going for Starkiller soon and he suggested aphra. I'm definitely going for Starkiller because I'm no where near aphra and I actually have a place to use every one of his reqs plus Kyle and dash's ships are farmed. Kind of interesting to see them both on this list though. I really agree with your reasoning behind delaying the Starkiller grind. I wanted to get him really early on and have been very patient waiting for the perfect window to get him. Jml, Starkiller, cal is my current path. Probably profundity or Leia after that.
Leia is great, I'd highly recommend her. not just for her but all her reqs strengthen a lot of squads! Even the Ewoks are alright with Princess Kneesha!
I actually agree with you with Starkiller, SEE & Tuskans. Starkiller I think it's a very good point to bring up the Cantina farm requirements, as the signal data cost from farming them will be rather large. Tuskans just aren't really an awesome enough team that it can definitely wait and it doesn't really lead into any big farms, maybe the one for Jabba but that's 1 of a 5 character investment. I'm not on board with Imp troopers though, that's still a solid team and it will do it's job for you, R3 is not a big investment and if your building Executor it's not a big deal to put Veers to R3 and Dark Trooper to R5. That's enough for them to never really invest more into all the way up to Kyber 1. So the ROI on troopers is still there.
I see what you mean about SK, and the best time imo to get him is after you get Executor and then go into the JML/Profundity/Jabba pipeline. The intermediate farms give homes for SK’s reqs. Kyle goes with the rebel fighters you farmed for JML, Dash can lead BAM, Kuill, IG-11 (which you got for Executor) and random other scoundrels plus you’ll need Dash at R7 as you farm Profundity. Mara is self explanatory. Talon is a lingering requirement but hopefully you’ve built Sith Trio as a backbone team. I agree that you shouldn’t go out of your way to farm Rebel Fighters, so an effective early game strat should be to overlap a lot of these requirements.
Here me out, I farmed SEE as my first GL and finished him just before the SBR came out. The fact that both the SBR and this coming raid (as of right now) utilize his reqs has benefitted my account and has provided a ton of value. The Sidious datacron is also really fun. Of course, I just happened to luck out with that stuff and I couldn’t have predicted it, but SEE does give a ton of variety and doesn’t tie you too heavily to one faction.
if they want to buff starkiller it would actually be so easy. Just give him +25% mastery and +25% extra for GAC and then give his Star Destroyer revive immunity
I think SK is a very important character especially at early game. My first GL was SEE, being the most accessible and the cheapest, I couldn’t beat anything with him not having Wat and armorer but when I got DT up and reliced she gave a great boost to my SEE and I started to beat some GL teams. Once I got MJ up and running my whole empire team was so much more efficient and in TW with her Omicron I could beat almost anything. KK just changed totally the MM team and Dash even with no zeta or omicron is very useful in all game modes. To summarize I agree that the Palp/Mara/SK team is struggling with all the new DCs but the road to getting SK is very important for any player to start getting a variety of teams that can perform in all game modes.
Starkiller and Aphra are in the exact same spot only difference is that SK works under a cere/malicious team otherwise his old team is equal in power to Aphras team
Yeah Ill Phizzle! You and Calvin been slow on the content releases lately. Like I'm glad you have good things going on and keeping you busy, but I miss you pal❤
Mastery is bonus stats which are different depending on their role ie tank, attacker. I'm pretty sure it doesn't take effect until you relic a character and the higher the relic the more mastery you get.
