I didn't know the game is popular here. I'm level 85 and currently in a guild with guys mostly in the US. not a very serious guild, but every raid is properly coordinated. We use Discord app for proper communication. Currently Rancor heroic raid can be done in less than an hour. But we are still unable to finish Heroic AAT Tank raid.

I'm not planning to leave my guild for a new one. But I can share any tactics with you guys here.

you can check my profile in swgoh.gg here https://swgoh.gg/u/abrahamsol/

I believe this link is useful to help you to choose which character you want to focus on (i wish i found this link when i start playing this game): https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea...harachters-list

I've been playing this game for more than a year now. lol
By the way, I've added you in the game.
This is the best Star Wars mobile game i've played so far.

In my guild, normally we do raid challenge to determine participant for Phase 1 of Rancor Pit. Challenge could be anything. Current challenge is to post your Star Wars collection that is equal to your SWGOH team. Top 3 will get placement in phase 1. Example: i take a picture of my lego minifigs (leia, vader, han solo, boba fett and chewbacca. and show the team power in the game.

Phase 1 is the easiest to get high damage.
Phase 2 and 3, every player (those who are not involved in Phase 1) are allowed only one battle.
Phase 4, player that did not participate in Phase 2 or 3 are allowed unlimited battle (normally lasts about 4-6 minutes).

Just sharing what my guild been doing to ensure everyone can participate and get something from every raid.

Yeah, multiple timezone is really a problem. We normally start a raid at 7am or 10pm Malaysia time.

Phase 1 for raid challenge winners.
Phase 2 and 3 : only 1 battle allowed.
then pause for 24 hours (until 7am or 10pm in the next day). only allow 0 damage for placement.
Phase 4: unlimited battle for those who place 0 damage or did not raid in P1-P3.

This is might not be the best and fair model, but it works for us. We tried a few method before end up with this one.
Currently we have no proper model for AAT tank raid. Some people are sandbagging in Phase 1 so that they can get high damage in Phase 2 or Phase 4.

Some note for new players:
-The game is not transferable from iOS to Android and vice versa. (Stupid EA). If you change for phone from iOS to Android (or Android to iOS), you'll have to start all over again.
-The game is tied to your Game Centre (ios) or Android (idontknowwhatitscalled) account.

Agree with you. My previous guild was dysfunctional and I was searching for a new guild in the forum when I found my current guild.

Current guild is pretty laid back but well managed. Most of us never spend a dime on the game. The guild leader and officers are very helpful and informative.

So, I'll try to share as much as possible with you guys here anything I know about the game. Maybe not much for high level players, but definitely will be helpful for new players.

I've accepted all friend requests yesterday which I assume from LYN players. I hope you guys can find a good guild that can help you with the game. You can check the game forum to see if there is any active guild recruiting. Or you can start a new Malaysian/LYN guild.

I believe it's possible to have good toons without spending any money in the game. You just need patience. And the link that I shared earlier can help you to focus on the right toons without wasting time on the less desirable character (eg: Magmatrooper).

Rebels are meta right now. Sith are getting better with the new update. I regret not farming Aylaa and Jedi Knight Anakin earlier. They're useful in Phase 1 tank raid.

Lando is simply awesome. 7* and G10, he rains death. But his speed a bit slow and STH can help him to stay alive longer. Palpatine is a beast at G10 or G11. I kept getting Palpatine + 4 tanks in Node 10 - 12 of GW. Kinda pain in the @rse

You already unlocked Maul! Sweet. He's the only Sith I haven't unlock yet. Vader is okay, but he's a looong farm. Keep your eyes on his shards in shops. No need to spend crystals on him, unless you really need him (I only spend crystals for his last 3 shards).

Teebo is a good leader in Rancor raid. Can pair him with QGJ, for tm reduction. (my favourite Rancor Phase 1 team: Teebo, QGJ, 5s, and Wiggs)

You might want to farm Wedge now. Biggs will be more useful with Wedge. My rebel team is Wedge (leader), Biggs, Ackbar, STH, and Lando.

I think you have a pretty good Light Side toons, and for Dark Side, I heard Maul is totally useful against Jedi. I don't have him yet, I can't verify.

Don't worry about the gears, work one at a time. Normally you'll work on getting G11 when you're level 85.

tbh, i haven't done much on my ships. lol

Fleet arena ranked normally between 100-150. I'll work on the ship after i manage to 7* Grand Moff Tarkin. His ship Executrix is needed for zeta farming. All zeta abilities are quite nasty. I've seen First Order team with Zeta Phasma, my rebels are wiped before making first move. Team with zeta Bariss are very hard to beat (especially with Shoretrooper and Baze).

You can buy zeta materials from fleet store, but very expensive. 1 Zeta = 2000 Fleet tokens.

Another option is using Ship Ability Materials challenge (final tier). You'll need five dark side ships and Executrix. If i'm not mistaken, all minimum 5 stars.

you'll need 20 zeta for every zeta ability.

I've finished all the event battle but still unable to unlock Nihilus. 30/50 shards currently.

Waiting for Marquee Event tomorrow. Hopefully can get enough shards to unlock him.

anyone here managed to clear the Places of Power event? Very hard for me to clear even Tier 1. Managed to settle it on second attempt with 1 star. So far only 3-4 guys from my guild managed to clear the bonus level.

I think USD400 is too much even for whales. It's going to take about a year for us free players to be able to fully utilise Nihilus.

I'm curious how his OHKO skill going to take effect in raid. I don't think he can OHKO the Rancor. Too OP

The event is still active for you? Already ended for me this morning.

I've seen Nihilus in area. Level 85, with only 3*. Combined with Zeta Maul, and a other Siths, my rebels can't even kill the 3* Nihilus.

Apparently its just a visual bug:

Squad/Character power has not changed and was simply an unfortunate hiccup. tumblr_mz5xdvMs4j1qhm3wgo2_250.gif Let's sit tight and wait until we get all our nuts and bolts in order with these updates- appreciate your patience!>

i've been told to use the lower energy as there's no difference in the odds of getting gears you're farming.

plus you can save your squad now. love the new features!

Just finished a Heroic Rancor Pit raid. Finally my Teebo team is strong enough to solo Phase 1 of the raid. I am using G10 Teebo (leader), G10 5555, G11 QGJ, and G10 Wiggs. If you guys are farming toons for Rancor Pit, I totally recommend this team.

One guy from my guild managed to do close to 1mil damage in Phase 1 with his Teebo team (with Phasma instead of 5555). He's only level 78.

I hope I can score some Droid Callers this time. Need them to upgrader Vader to G10.

You already have Maul! I wish I have him right now. He's on top current meta list. I've faced zeta Maul team in arena with 4* Nihilus. My rebels are wiped before even touching Nihilus.
