I'd add to the list Geonosians and Mon Mothma, though moreso Geos thanks to Alpha's leadership. But any stat-sharing team will get good boosts, and with Geos, having a relic Alpha gives you effectively two relic characters, and loads of bonus health/protection for lower-geared bugs.
One concept with GAC that seems to get neglected is what it takes to beat a given team. Getting a certain team to the bare minimum of function can require your opponent to take it out with a team that they invested even more into. I went from needing 14 teams to 22 with the GAC change. Phoenix and ewoks that are geared to the minimum for their events are seeing play now. I'm also fielding a partial trooper squad and a g8 3 star bad batch.
lol, these teams look so familiar! I took Dark Trooper to r5 just so I could get through four waves of phase four of GeoTB. That was enough. On the Sisters -- absolutely, Daka at r5 is the sweet spot. I still don't have Asaaj at g13! (yes the GAS event was awful). The only one I'm suddenly thinking of relicing now is Spirit. A super hard hitting r5 Spirit is looking handy atm. Mine's still g12. My poor Zombie has been at g11.5 for years now -- but every time I get a mk6 stun gun I look at her, look at all the other characters that need it and she misses out, again (though the CRancor thing would be nice)
Nice job for all the content so far, Xaereth. I am usually watching all of your new videos (and some old ones too). Is it possible to create a video similar to this but instead of gear focusing on Zetas. I am very short on Zetas, not that much on gear (at least G8-G11 is still acceptable on my level). I would like to setup a broad roster, and I was thinking to focus on low-zeta teams first to be able to catch up on missing Zetas. What do you think ? Thank you for all the help you give to the community !
Another video, MADNESS! I have nearly all of these team already at relic. Just Ewoks are at G11. I will look into them after my Omicron for Zam. I would push them to G12,0 and I like them. They often could clear a heavier team and they got a hold in my last GAC, LOL.
All good ideas, although imho getting gear and relic mats is pretty easy these days, my biggest issue right now are mods, i have a few teams that are really good but damn i just cant get the right speedy mods, rolls are terrible for me, not to mention the bazilion of credits i spent on them...
I'm 4.8 million gp and just ran back into the carbanti crunch going for bando farm, for razor crest. So I can eventually get Executor. I was going to gear up my NS finally but guess not now.
Hiyo! I'd love to see a video about how to counter GLs without GLs. It seems like there are a few offmeta counters that can still work ... but what's needed to make them work? Also, what are good teams for 2-shotting GLs? (i.e. what teams are good at weakening & what teams are good at cleanup)
-LV: Troopers against non Maul -JMK: nothing -JML: DR with WAT -Rey: GAS (only against Resistance or low dmg comps only) -SLKR: JKR (with JKL), Starkiller, Padme with Cat can win but its not consistant (like 1 out of 2) -SEE: Troopers (if no Sith Empire)... There is probably more counters for See I just dont know them ._.
I cant wait for the imps video, Im running veers piett starck dark and gideon with only piett being above g12 (r5 now fore executor), but still not sure how to properly piece them together. I do appreciate gid's TM reset special, tho.
Gidd has the highest base speed of any none GL, however depending on your gears I’m not sure who’s fastest at base. Before I had Gideon to get me the starting boost I boosted my Starcks speed up because his special that gives buffs ends up getting you tm as well. Not too sure if this helps much but hope it helps somehow
Control the situation-> gideon basic if you want a daze eventually or you could land an armor shred -> scan all wavelengths-> mark dark trooper with piett’s first special -> dark trooper basic or aoe -> mass assist (should kill or get close to killing someone) -> moff gideon anything (see above) -> starck basic for defence down or aoe stagger + buff dispel on target -> piett basic every turn except if you can get a kill with his aoe when he has zeta -> dark trooper tm or get a kill with basic -> veers basic if you haven’t gotten a kill yet and you didn’t remove tm from them at this point than the train stops, if you have gotten a kill at this point than you have won, if you’re not getting kills than upgrade dark trooper, I just got mine relic and he does an average of 100k on a basic which sometimes happens twice when piett uses his basic.
I like to get Piett to go first and mark Dark Trooper and then have Gideon ‘Control the Situation’ cause that makes Piett use his basic and call the marked ally to assist so Dark Trooper would attack twice. Then you can have Veers mass assist and get another double tap.
Cls is pretty good at low gear. I have him (the entire team except c3po who is gear 12 for gas) at gear 8 and I can beat gear 11 bounty hunters if they are not super fast ( my cls is at 250 speed)
Mounting the algo! Group mounting An Algo is like a horse so jump on it! - Question could you do a mod farming and slicing guide? what is your way of working when it comes to this?.. I am asking as I have just mt requirements for starting the SLKR and I see my one weakness is having good enough mods.
Dude you are on a roll as of late, great idea for a video. Creators need to stop making videos for the top 5% of players and remember we don’t all have everyone reliced
Working on a trooper video over Christmas? MADNESS. Really enjoy your videos. Always informative with practical advice for players at all levels. Far and away the best SWGOH content available. Keep 'em coming!
I have my JTR with res bros all at g11 (z on RWTP (bb8) and JTR lead) and I have taken out slow (sub 250 speed) r7 teams. as longs as the team is A). slower than bb8 with unique factored in, B) able to be crit (ex. no padme) and C) no tm stoppers (JMK, JKL, zHux). you can take them out really quickly.
For JTR, is she functional as a team without the hero bros? JTR/BB8/R2 is the core, but will I be wasting my time filling the last two slots with VSHan (needed for SLKR) and OGFinn? I’m trying not to take on too many new characters while I focus on SLKR.
I’ve taken down a relic KRU First Order team with my Bad Batch at g8/9. As long as you get Echo and Tech to be one of the first to go then you are good. Then if you have Omega, you can get Wrecker to do his 2 turn stun. Make sure you hit exposes, which reduces the enemy turn meter and use Hunter’s Turn meter swap to get single target stuns, and Echo’s locked buff immunity on his salute helps against KRU’s taunt. Though you might get stuck with KRU left over as you lack the damage, but you can do it as long as you have enough potency to land exposes to reduce his turn meter and keep healing immunity on him (as Echo’s daze and healing immunity can’t be resisted. But it’s easier to clean up a solo KRU, so even if you lose, the damage they dealt is well worth it. My Echo is 278 speed at g8 and Tech is like 240 They can pretty much take most teams as long as you get out first and land the Echo and Tech stun
@@NakieYoda you're speaking only from personal experience or actual knowledge of things that happen outside of your account? I have a couple friends with good Ewoks who consistently get holds against Nest solos. It's an actual thing.
Based on my own experience I'm kind of on Juan's side. I'm ABunch-0 vs Ewoks using Nest. I see Ewoks and my Nest jumps on them, without Hoda, without Qira. The faster they are, the faster Nest builds up. Put Nest on Auto and Ewoks build her up fast enough to beat the timer. Faster Ewoks just build Nest up faster. BUT... I'll try it out because I have em at G11 and you haven't led me astray yet. I'll buy it if you tell me Ewoks are modded for this... for example if Logray is supposed to be modded with high Potency. (5.2M GP, G12.0 Nest). (My Nest literally won another such battle as I typed this) ALL HAIL THE ALGORITHM
I'd add to the list Geonosians and Mon Mothma, though moreso Geos thanks to Alpha's leadership. But any stat-sharing team will get good boosts, and with Geos, having a relic Alpha gives you effectively two relic characters, and loads of bonus health/protection for lower-geared bugs.
-Bad Batch at g8 can clear fully relicked JKR's and Padme's
-Nest
-GG
-Shak Clone's with Zeta and relicked Fives
This is my list

@@cannibalraptor or gideon could be 300+ speed so you can plug him into other teams so they can go first, but that is an interesting idea.
Shaak clones with only Fives geared and zeta gets a lot of holds for me.
Two chicks at the same time.
I reckon if I had a million dollars I could set that up.
thumbs up for the office space reference

Cls is pretty good at low gear. I have him (the entire team except c3po who is gear 12 for gas) at gear 8 and I can beat gear 11 bounty hunters if they are not super fast ( my cls is at 250 speed)
I find myself using Moff G in place of range trooper a good bit. Just me though
Da Ali G Show is useful in a lot of other squads. RaT is only good for troopers.

Would the gear on the ewoks also help with getting c3po?
Yep, absolutely would. G11 on Ewoks makes that event pretty easy TBH.

According to the movie Bad Moms Christmas, you can book Bolton pretty affordably.
Xaereth videos that start with Office Space quotes are of the highest quality. Science!
another really helpful video! I like the idea of getting more use out of lower tier teams to stretch your opponents defense or offense.
Great video.
Thanks!
Happy and calm christmass everybody.
Bad batch is also a decent low gear team on offense
All fillers, yet they are killers.
You know who Michael Bolton is? 😊
Thanks
Would an ewok team work without Logray? Say Teebo instead?
Not really. Logray is incredibly important to the team, I'm sorry to say.

Bahahaha
Bad Batch surely deserves a mention
Yeah, that's probably true, good call
For JTR, is she functional as a team without the hero bros? JTR/BB8/R2 is the core, but will I be wasting my time filling the last two slots with VSHan (needed for SLKR) and OGFinn?
I’m trying not to take on too many new characters while I focus on SLKR.
res bros take JTR to the next level. with bros, she can take out bugs, BHs, Fo (no zHux), troopers (if you can outrun them with bb8)
Great info!
Ns kills Revan nicely at similar gear. I spent the Revan meta doing that so many times.
If the jedi training rey is on offense, would gl rey with leftover resistance go on D?
Ah yes, Bolton had a few classics
I wonder, how viable is a G8 (fully zetad) Bad Batch team?
Not good low health and protection
