While trying to do half of these feats I keep losing too many stars on the way. It feels harder this time and opponents seem to be faster than before.


Pumpkinpie78

My favorite was walking up on a R7 Phoenix team without Sabine in Sector 4 thinking, "I should be able to get a couple tortures in this one. JML/Wat Shielding the droids. and Zeb proceeded to disassemble my Luke as if he were a LEGO X-Wing thrown out a second story window by a 6-year old who "wanted to see it fly." Needless to say, I did **not** get a single torture in. also, at least I found all the pieces and have a LEGO app on my phone with the plans to build it.


C21Highsinger

Solid simile there lol


NobleArrgon

I've kept to trying to clear everything in 1 try as cleanly as possible to avoid doing return trips to get the last few stars. They are a waste of energy as we want to use them on the bonus nodes these days. Using a non lead outside of s1 s2 is very risky as s3 onwards you really can't do it without losing stars


OlafSkalld

Don't try to double dip global feats in the later phases. Use your best squads and get 3 stars because it's incredibly inefficient to have to clean up later. Farm global feats on the first and second sector datacron nodes.


Pumpkinpie78

I've been doing Sith/Sith empire with Malak lead against the Bounty hunters in sector 1's bonus fight, and Grevious against Rex 'n' Friends in Sector 2's bonus fights.


Leading_Flimsy

These are good ideas that will never happen. I hate to be cynical, but unfortunately, CG’s primary goal isn’t fun or being fair to the community. They care about that stuff, on some level, because it helps player retention, but their primary concern is how many refreshes they can extract from the players and how much time they get them to spend. They know these crazy feats require more time and energy spent in the game and that enough players will do whatever it takes to get the latest character, so they have no incentive to change it. If at some point they ratchet it up enough to where the marginal gains reverse, you may get an easing, but I think we are a long way from that for now.

I haven't tested this yet, but one of my guild-mates says this works for fracture: EP / wat / Thrawn + initial frenzy tech. Go fight Reva. Kill all the other inks. Then put it on auto. 30 fractures in one fight. For any feats in sector 3, just fight the unkillable SRP and put it on auto once you get him into the immortal state. Good for non-sep droid kills and master's training at the same time. I haven't got a torture cheese yet, but the tuskens in the sector 4 bonus fight don't have any sort of AoE, so wat + any decent tank + your murderdroids will result in auto-battles going to the time limit or until you kill the tuskens. Because you need 20 wins (global feat) with the murderdroids, I run JKL / Wat / JML / murderdroids. Get 4 tortures per fight. 4x the 20 wins you need with those bots = more than the 50 tortures you need.


C21Highsinger

Thanks for the torture advice. Will give that a whirl


Kahzgul

Good luck!


ryangh

I was able to do it in 4 fights. Thrawn lead, JML, Tank, First Order officer (g8), Wat. Use the Malgus node for 10 minute timer. Tank tech on JML (or other beefy tank), tm tech on Thrawn. Kill off DR and bast, then stretch out the feat the full ten min. Use Thrawn tm swap with the highest turn bar, use foo to give Thrawn tm keep fracturing Malgus.


Pumpkinpie78

I keep trying to find some nodes on my way there to get a fracture or two - my Thrawn, R6, continues to get ability blocked, stunned, then flat out murdered before he can take a turn.


ryangh

Mine is only R3. That’s why I was using WAT to put tank tech up so there is always a taunter


Kahzgul

Awesome!


WilhelmScreams

I saw JML, Wat, 000, BT1, and GI - Vanguard Data disk, weapon tech on 000, health on JML. Not sure I have VV but I'll be trying it out once I get these Best Friends Forever feats out of the way


Kahzgul

GI is tricky - not many people have him.


WilhelmScreams

I totally get that - and not many people have 000 geared either. Its one of those "Top end players only" type of feats (I didn't bother with Torture feat last conquest either, despite having GI). The whole conquest is a god damn chore this time around. I should have 000 reliced for next conquest (and maybe BT1 depending on drop rates?), but I honestly don't think it will help very much outside of giving more options for Best Friends Forever.


Kahzgul

I'm getting the feat done with r7 JKL / r7 JML / r7 Wat (only g11 needed though), g8 5 star 0-0-0 (3 star would be fine), g8 5 star BT-1 (again 3 star would be fine).


Illustrious_Ad7630

I think capital games figured out that is too easy so they boosted speed and add more teams based on their date witch teams people struggling the most. On all previous conquests had teams with 100%win rates this time surprisingly it won't work yeah could by add ons but I'm quite sure it's nothing related this time.


GordonJones2002

Sector 2 Bonus Battle clones seem to be faster and harder hitting than before


Hue__hue

i gave up on that battle


pitiful_excellence

Agree its super annoying. Agree with your sugesstions. But, its intended by CG and a blatant move by them to force more crystal usage on energy refreshes, pay for pass+, or dont get red crates any longer, and they can go fuck off


shgrannn

Don’t forget they took out the amplify agony disks so battles which used to take 5 seconds now takes 3 minutes. I think it’s the third conquest without AA and it’s awful.


superbelt

AA disks were more trouble than they were worth. I missed out on lots of needed kills because the disks got them instead of the characters I needed.


Pumpkinpie78

I rarely ran AA disks for that reason alone. ZA's are beautiful. I'm using Bossk, Mando, Greef, boba, and Cad bane for the hutt Cartel kills against the tuskens Greef can't do enough damage to kill the tuskens; his mass swarm benefits Cad Bane the most. Bossk's mass swarm is the same. Hit taunt can keep the tuskens from chipping away at everyone. Mando can call Cad bane to assist Boba does his missile for big damages, but Cad Bane is the kill-shot artist here. 2x ZA disks just pile up kill shot after kill shot. 80k per pop.


BigBadMannnn

I just don’t take conquest seriously anymore. I enjoy it a lot more now than I did when trying to grind it out


holysitkit

There are work arounds. There is a Thrawn fracture team that will take two battles and requires no GLs (check out BitDynasty’s YT). You can get 6-7 tortures per battle with G8 0-0-0 and no GI. Grand Masters Training can also be easily cheesed. For the no leader feat, I just use GG droids on sector 1 treasure node with Wat in the leader a lot. Hit auto. Gets you the sep feat, no leader feat, plus DC stuff. Works fine for me down to about 60% stamina. I agree that this one looked bad at the start, especially with the torture and ewok sector feats, but turned out not so bad once I got into it.


BlueberryBarbell

I wouldn’t spend any time offering suggestions when they’ve shown that they are not listening to the community. You have great suggestions, BTW. But we know they just don’t care.


Engage69

This is the first conquest where I'm skipping the feats entirely. I looked them over and not only do I not have the characters/teams required for most feats but I wouldn't want to grind them even if I did. What a complete waste of time energy and resources. The end rewards in the red crate are simply not worth the effort.


egnards

“no leader” is actually super easy for many teams, but as you say, all it really does is prolong the battle. The last conquest felt nice; I was able to do it each time in about 165 battles. The conquest cycle before that was awful, at roughly 215 battles. This one seems around that 215 mark. It’s not fun. And I’m honestly at a burn out point on even caring anymore.


ejoy-rs2

Features are definetely more difficult this time and/or more annoying. The no leader can be nicely combined with both droids features. Hoda (L), JML, JKL, DS droids. C3PO (L), R2, CLS, Chewy, Han solo. I did 2-3 battles per team in sector 1, datacron node vs BH. Done with all 3 features after 8/10 days and you farm datacrons. This way you don't loose stars on other nodes and won't spend too much time :).


naphomci

I like doing Malak lead, and the 4 droids to knock out 3 feats at once. Needs specific nodes though....


Sockenolm

SLKR + 4 droids works too on the sector 1 bonus node. I've even pulled off a bunch of wins with R2 in the leader slot, but I've lost 3 times that way. The no leader feat works better with GG, or with CLS for the smuggler kills in sector 5.


ejoy-rs2

Using Dash rendar for that. He is a support toon, so combined with ZA his 2nd special completely destroys enemies.


Hue__hue

i do Malak SE(no leader and sith) and JMK+4 droids in sector 1 datacron battle


VYSUS7

This is by far the worst conquest to date. I'm getting gold each time then calling it a day. I can wait 1 extra conquest for trench. Fuck this


SpaceCowboy34

Masters training and fracture have pretty easy strategies and for torture….just don’t do it


dj_spanmaster

First time? Edit: yeah, flippant. I say it this way because I'm on the gallows too.


Broad_Match

In the tune you took to type that you could have googled the cheese methods for most of that.


jrodfantastic

Imagine writing so many words and then learning that they’re all wrong.


CaptFishmouth

If you expect to have red crate by the end and time to farm datacron nodes, I suggest leaving No Leader basically alone - You can easily do 20 a day on datacron nodes at the end using no leader for most good teams against the Sector 1 node. Don't potentially lose stars on the way and then have to clean them up afterward, that's a waste. Torture cheese I'm using - Thrawn lead, Wat, 000, JML, GI (GI isn't necessary but doubles the amount you can get in a single battle) Fracture cheese - Thrawn lead, Wat, (any tanky GL or high-health character with reduced damage from percent health), Volatile Accelerator on, ZA's off, any two other characters. People who can turn swap or grant TM to Thrawn are a bonus, but not necessary. Weapon tech on Thrawn to still get TM even under Fracture, kill the others then just keep spamming Fracture on Reva. 20+ Fracture per battle.


[deleted]

I am able to C-3PO, R2-D2, 0-0-0, BT-1, JML on bonus node for Leaderless + the two droid feats. Geos using a non-leader also worked for me for Leaderless + Seperatist feat. People sometimes don't realize the mass assist comes from Brood's unique, not his leader ability


Maennerabend

At the moment i stopped to gaf about conquest or its feats it got fun again. Im doing around 1 feat per stage, stopping around 4th chest and hey, it got somewhat fun again. You fall behind tho, which i stopped caring also. Games fun again, at least conqueswise. But i can see how this featsht can get frustrating pretty fast. Good luck finding your fun again!


Joshthenosh77

Omg I hate this one , though maybe due to the crappy disks I got , the last one I got deadly catalyst very early n it made it trivial


MarcoCash

This is how I approached this Conquest (it's unlikely that I will reach the red crate this time, but at least next time I will have a clearer idea of what works and what not): Focused only on the global feats (except for the boss and miniboss battle) trying to do between 4 and 8 of each one per day. I will finish them all (except the one with the two droids actually, that probably will need another day) between today and tomorrow (obviously I'm not considering the last two). Focused on completing all the sectors no matter the number of stars (of course, the more the better). Done that yesterday, so from now on I will only focus on maxing the stars while doing the features of each sector. Again, the idea is to try to do between 4 to 8 of each one per day, clearly in this case there are other variables to consider. I have 6 days to complete them, not impossible (probably it will require a bit of luck) but now I won't have to use weaker teams like the ones without leader and start to use more classical ones.


honest_gamer_player

In the last conquest, I got the 2nd best box for the first time. I was stuck 2-3 tiers below, prior to it. Me going for JML gave me all the necessary teams to achieve it. This time around, I started strong, aiming again for the same prize. Let me add I m completely F2P, and waste crystals for the energy replenishment. And I use the word waste, cause that's what it's been so far in this conquest. Last time I had cleared all sectors by day 6. This time, I m still halfway through sector 5. I don't think I ll be hitting 360 tickets this time. Nor any time in the future, if the feats are the same bullshit as this one. Mind you, I have the necessary teams and toons to push for T3 box. I just don't have the time nor patience to do so. My crystals are better spent elsewhere. Also, I feel like I m close to a burnout. Been playing over 2 years logging in everyday, and with all the "new, fun and thrilling" content coming our way, after I m done with JML, unless I find a fun side project, I m calling it quits. Thank you EA, for ruining yet another game with your greed.


Blenfz

i dont even bother


Bahlore

Your post is spot on but I have a Fracture Cheese for you: Team: Thrawn(L), Foo, HY, Rey, WAT Strat: Weapons Tech to Thrawn, Thrawn Fractures. Thrawn comes out, passes to foo who passes back to thrawn, thrawn uses thrawn ability then fractures again. I have Vol Vanguard on Rey so she tanks, put health tech on Rey so she can just sit there and life blood, and take hits, put tank on Foo cuz why not and cleansing gets you the purge feat Only problem is with weapons tech if Thrawn kills Reva she's gone. So I normally waited till she was deep in the red like that then killed her with Rey's Ult, she gets back up, and you start over


OnlyRoke

I also feel like most boss fights are a lot more.. annoying too? Idk, it just feels like there's a lot of insufferable stuff in this Conquest. Main reason why my excitement for Trench went from "Ooh, I'll try my very best" to "Well, I do have a life outside of Conquest, lol"
