       GW Hit List
       By: DarthMasterShawn Date: March 8, 2016, 9:56 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Ok to start a hit list here.  It is really dependent somewhat on
       what you run.  This is how I attack and prioritize and my logic
       on why I go in this order.  This is general kill order.  At the
       end I'll talk about if multiple big threats and if Poe ect.  I
       reccomend Barriss lead if you have here.  She hits terrible but
       her HP boosts, passives, and here health equalization through
       the immune is so helpful.
       #1 Rey, GS,FOTP, 88, 86,Maul QGJ (Yoda now)  Leia if 5* or less
       These can mess you up very fast.  Rey, QGJ,GS,FOTP, *^ can 1 hit
       you, 88 can ability block and deal heavy damage to the whole
       team.  All are fairly fast to kill.  These are your highest
       threats.  I add Yoda, not for his single damage, but left
       unchecked he will destroy you, so best to get him out fast.  I
       attack them based on speed mainly, though If they have like Maul
       and FOTP I hit Maul.  He is a bigger threat than FOTP due to the
       wicked AOE.  Same is I must choose between the droids.  Rey dies
       first anytime I see her.  She is very fast, and so deadly.
       Threat analysis is key.  I take time before I go battle to do
       the threat analysis.
       Shawn why is Leia not here over 5*?  Simple, she is 3rd fastest
       in the game.  Dooku and Sid combined can't kill a 7* max Leia,
       and rarely a 6* unless you get a double attack double Crit and
       Sid crits,  and AI stealths her almost always 1st turn so she is
       a vicious killer you just have to take.  If she is not 7* purple
       and you have both Dooku and Sid, toss a stun at her, if it fails
       hit with Sid, she lives retyreat, or if she is the only cannon
       let it play out.  Leia I damage with Sid AOE.  I rarely AOE Sid
       first turn.  I save it for Leia stealth and/or Poe taunt.  Leia
       the second she is off Stealth focus fire her to the ground.
       #2 Sid  Sid is not a big Damage dealer, but in a war of
       attrition his heal immune really is a pain in the ass.  It sucks
       having your top toons depleted and unable to heal.  I strive for
       full health going into next fight.  Best way for that is kill
       Sid fast.  Sid is my first kill if there are no 1 hitters in
       there.  DO NOT ATTACK SID WITH LUMI if possible.  He seems to
       dodge her far more than any others.  Now if her basic will
       finish him go ahead risk it, but I find his dodge on her is
       North of 50%.
       Once you pass that it gets less obvious.  This is where
       evaluation comes into play.  How is your health?  Who do you
       have with heals?  Who is your leader?  If you run Lumi and heal
       immunes are gone this is a decent time to hit it for the heal
       over time, plus her cooldown is given more chance to reset for
       next turn, unless there is a kylo then if you can, hold off.
       #3  Daka If no Daka I tend to focus fire Ren here if he has no
       retribution, Lumi if he does.  His outrage can screw you up, the
       AOE is annoying, and the Heal immune sucks.  If you time it
       right he no longer has retribution.  Opress here might be wise
       given the Buff.  If Ren did not have Heal Immune I'd have him
       lower tier.
       #4 the counter attackers like 5's, Secure, Kit, Dooku.  I
       prioritize Dooku because he is the worst with ability block and
       stun, plus the fastest kill.  In an ideal situation I start
       these just after a Lumi heal so their counter attack damage is
       not so impactful with the heal over time.
       #5 Weaker healers like JC Talia.  I leave them for 1 reason
       only.  To streatch out my cooldown reset.  I run Barriss lead
       often so I gain health every turn.  If you weaken one under 50%
       they will not attack they will use their heals.  Botrh are
       slower and low HP so you can use them to your advantage to heal
       up and get those cooldowns reset.  Remember this is 1 fight in a
       string.  You ideally want to walk out as healthy as possible
       with as little cooldown as possible.
       #6  Barriss, Ben, Chewie, Phasma Your high HP toons.  These are
       weak hitters with huge HP.  They allow if you have Barriss to
       heal without using heal.  They allow Cooldowns to diminish.  I
       call it regroup time.  Sometimes if it is Say Ben and Barriss
       I'll go back and forth, let Barriss heal them so it drags out.
       Though I run a Barriss lead so I gain health every turn.  If you
       run another lead gague it.  Is the minor damage you take from
       those very slow toons worth getting your healers cooldown reset
       or down to 1 or 2 from 5?
       Ok so that is pretty much my order.  I know I left some out, but
       you can factor them in with similar toons tier I have her.
       So now questions you might have.
       Why Phasma so late?  Well to me she does not hit that hard.
       Once the big players are dead Her victory March and her AOE are
       nothing too scary, nor is her basic.  I use Barriss so I heal
       good.  You may want to put her in Tier 3 or 4 depending on your
       teams build.  My team has a lot of self healing and turn based
       healing.
       Shawn they have more than one big gun??  Threat analysis.  Rey
       and Maul got to go.  Rey so fast, so deadly.  Maul if he gets
       that AOE, or heaven forbid gets a kill shot you are up the
       creek.  Here is the thing.  Maul is very slow.  If you can take
       the other cannon out in a couple hits and have decent strikers
       you can still get Maul.  GS is tough.  He is lethal with the
       assist, short cooldown, and self buff, but he has the highest HP
       of the cannons.  Unless you get a crit with say Sid and a
       Massive first shot with a GS yourself he will live that 1-2
       punch and hit you.  so you wasted the attack.  If there are 2
       cannons and he is one I bite the bullet and take his hit,
       because he is the hardest cannon to kill.  Rey is my first
       target always.  I'll typically go by speed/threat/my team
       analysis.  QGJ not leading is 137.  Will I kill him before he
       hits me?  If yes he dies, if not I target the slower cannon.
       ***There are so many combos and variables so if you post a multi
       cannon build you see that gives you trouble and what you
       typically run and if you want other options available I'll do a
       custom.  There are just so many combos***
       Shawn they have Poe, Han, or Chewie.  Chewie is a chump, love
       him, but he is no threat but a damage spoonge.  He is slow.  You
       can typically get your top threat or 2 gone before the hairball
       taunts.  Similar with Han, but Han messes with your turn meter
       making his team able to attack more, thus making a tier 3 or 4
       threat a bigger one.  Poe is just awesome still.
       Poe is 142.  Know your speeds, know the new speed system.  Only
       8 go before Poe without leader Boost.  Know your team, know
       their speeds.  You know Poe will taunt.  so if you run Dooku try
       to stun him.  If it fails retreat right away and go again.  I
       run Barriss, Sid, Lumi, GS, Dooku as my main run.  I typically
       will toss my stun at Lumi, high % stun.  Why?  So she can't heal
       Poe as I am destroying him.  I will then Basic on the cannon
       with Sid and GS Special to kill.  Two threats I'll evaluate.  If
       they have GS and 86 I will toss my stun at one of them.  Fail,
       retreat try other, fail, send in fodder to take the hits then go
       in follow strategy.
       ****There are so many combos here so again a specific Poe build
       you see with your team and options if you like and I'll tailor
       it to you****
       Basically you want every attack to count.  I look at my arena
       and my GW fights as a mix of chess and surgery.  You need
       strategy, plan several moves and possible outcomes ahead and
       attack with surgical precision and skill.  This is a war of
       attrition.  You need to manage your heals and your specials and
       utilize every attack to it's fullest potential.
       I know I offered the Multi Cannon build, and the Poe build to
       tailor.  Any build that gives you grief that you see commonly if
       you post it with your team and some options at disposal I'll
       tailor to you.
       Please when posting your team do Level, *, Gear Level, and
       ability Level for best results.

       Awesome job finishing the first.  Re-rolling helps a lot at
       times.  Even if you are going to win but with a loss or some
       heavy damage.  Take note of what you did to win, then re-roll
       and go a different way to see if you copme out better.
       1st completetion feels awesome, doesn't it?
       I have Tanks with taunt coming next, but will also do synergies,
       obvious and not so.

       Awesome post! I usually focus on Sid so that i can get away with
       full health then the "heavy" healer bc if foes stay up long
       enough they are more probable to cause more dmg. It's not much
       of a tactic though if they kill one or more of my main players,
       esp since i can't form a decent B team yet.

       Great info! I'd also agree that Phasma is little threat. Early
       on I thought she was super tough...but so was an Ewok team I
       fought along the way in one of the Darkside battles...Now I wish
       I wouldn't have spent so much on her. She's useful in passing a
       team or 2 in SW, but I prefer QGJ as lead. Sid sucks as an
       opponent, and he seems like he's in every battle from start to
       finish with varying degrees of potency.
