Galactic Conquest

I think it's awesome. I've only played maybe 10 minutes of it, but it's cool how you can use all your good teams against a good assortment of opponents.

 

and CC @Electricboa for the topic of whether or not to use crystal refreshes:

Hey so how are you all looking to use your data disks? I'm personally trying to grab data disks that would apply to as many teams as possible and so therefore I'm not doing a bunch of stacking. Im trying to have defensive, speed, offensive disks etc etc.

I have seen however some folks stacking 3 of those off/crit damage disks and getting insane damage. Just trying to see what good combos y'all are using out there.

Oh and PS I have the armor shred/healing immunity one and I feel like it's really helping me put down teams fast and hard.

 

From what I understand its 50 currency to remove. Which is kind of pricey IMO because 50 conquest currency can get you 5 useful gear pieces from its store.

 

Wait mistake! I just tried it on an account and it was 5. 10% of a gear purchase? I'd do it.

 

I've been mostly going after the universal disks as well. Although now that I understand that you can get by just using your top 3 teams or so, I might go for more specific ones next time, like the one that lets yoda loop his AOE by refreshing cooldowns. I have a couple that remove turn meter from enemies when they take damage and another that gives me turn meter when they fall below 100% health, as well as some damage boosts. This promptly backfired when I took my CLS team against what I thought was a standard Carth team, only to realize after I entered battle that Nest was in there. Oops. That's one battle I won't get back. At least I was able to use Chewpio to get the advantage feat before timing out.

 

For someone in my GP range (2.5 million), I wonder if going after data disks that can amplify one of your best teams into a super team is a smart play. This would give you a better shot at trying to clear the whole thing. We'll see how tough those GL bosses end up being in the last two sectors, but I worry about being able to clear them if they have bonuses on their side.

 

That might be a good idea @Laze
I'm interested to see how far and what kind of rewards I get, because I usually don't have time for dumping my whole roster against this event each day. I think it's still a lot of fun, either way.

 

Holy crap do we need to be able to preview the stats on the enemy. Gotta have this CG. I pulled in my Vader against some Geos, and thought easy peasy....My Vader's no slouch at something like +110 speed, although I know there are definitely faster Vaders. I stared slack jawed as the Geos mowed him down in 6 attacks without him taking a single turn.

Thank God for data disks. Tarkin/Thrawn/Palpatine somehow managed to gut it out and win, but potentially losing 15 energy because you couldn't tell you were going to be outsped is a bit of a raw deal.

P.S. I am now in Sector 3 and I have fought 3 battles, all of them resulting in me being outsped. I suppose I should just assume that from here on out. But I still argue that seeing speed stats on the other side helps me predict turn order and opening sequences.

P.P.S. Yeup, battle #4 and my DR got outsped. It's not the fastest DR in the world at only 316, but still. Thankfully I snuck a pre-taunt tank in there to soak up the damage and die, but yeah 3 starring battles is going to be tricky. I think I will have to reserve SEE and my very best Sith for 3-starring cleanup battles in Sector 3+ after I punch through the map.

 

...are y'all using consummables? I haven't found too many gear pieces of need in the conquest store, and on my kids' account where I'm constantly rotating in 3 lower level teams, I think I might need some stat boosters to keep up in sector 3.

 

I think this is a good strategy. Maybe consider stacking the data disks that reduce enemy TM or the ones that do a percentage of max health damage each time an enemy is damaged.

Also like the idea of stacking the leader's resolve data disks on a GG or GSky squad, and of course, all of the GLs. GG should hit like a freight train with the stacking health from those disks.

 

Not yet.

 

I've bought some after watching Warrior's video yesterday, but I haven't equipped any yet. Then again, I didn't have a whole lot of time to play the event yesterday either.

 

I have decided to buy speed consumables on sight for my account and my kids' accounts, and this will be my preferred consumable of choice. I started getting out-sped on all non-GL teams in late Sector 2/early Sector 3 on my parental account with near disastrous consequences. My kids definitely need the speed boost to hang for as long as they can on the progression path. Some of the speed bonuses on these nodes are insane! I ran into an Ewoks team that had a double speed boost accounting for 80% speed!

 

I refreshed my energy once yesterday and today, and have reached the early portion of sector 5. I think I've finished 2 battles in the sector, one of which I only managed 1 star. I've been focused on the global feat of winning 35 battles with a full DS squad. Think I'm around 26/27 wins now, but I have to watch it closely since my roster is heavily weighted toward the LS and it's all too easy to keep throwing out LS squads.

I beat the sector 4 boss SEE with Rey and Resistance. Didn't lose a toon, but there is a bug with the feats for the boss fight. The feats are so dim that I can't read them to find out what I need to do.

I'm enjoying some of the feats like win five battles without an attacker in the squad, and win 10 battles without a tank in the squad. It really makes you think about your squad composition.

Pro tip: Darth Nihilus is a support toon, which kinda shocked me. You'd think he'd be an attacker with Annihilate. I've been using Traya, Sion, Nihilus, Malak and Palpatine for this feat, along with JML, Bindo, Hoda, GMY and Bastila Shan.
