"My Vader died, and it was very sad." -story of every Grand Arena I'm in.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Sad but true

[@Dak36799]

For me it was- My Jawas Died, I am very sad-and oh my Vader just died too I just lost and now I'm very very sad

Great video!! I’d like to see one covering all the characters who reduce opponents max health. That always trips me up😊

[@CalvinAwesome]

Oh like the conditions needed?

[@jiddeyjiddey]

The worst one is GAS. Wich only reduce max health when the enemy has no protection. Also why he hard counter malak or nihilus

[@johngalt11-22]

@@CalvinAwesome Exactly. I get lost on the options to get it right.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Yeah some are really complicated, I've heard a lot of people get JKRs wrong

[@dgoyk]

This was a really great video. I actually did not know about the thermal % differences OR the TM calculation. Great content!

[@CalvinAwesome]

It's really hard to know unless someone tells you or extensive testing is done. Glad you liked it!

[@crackingpenny3186]

Those last 2 were very helpful, you should make more in the future! Perhaps HOW DOES DEFENSE WORK or how is offense to damage calculated, or why is it that placement matter when talking about uniques ect.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Oof defense is a rough one, you basically have to open the damage formula which is very complicated

[@jesusdominguezd.2928]

I loved this video. I started playing some months ago and I do not know all the details of every kit, sometimes even surprised even by the characters I use the most. Good one! Thanks!

[@CalvinAwesome]

You're welcome! Let me know if there's something else you'd like me to cover

[@ericmichaelwillard9422]

another amazing video, another great topic covered. i esp liked the formula at the end to determine if you can outrun somebody or not. good stuff man.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Lol it's never fun to do that math wrong and watch your team get obliterated

[@darrinhill5900]

Been playing since 2016 and had no idea thermals hit at different percentages. Thanks for the info! Very informative and I would love to see more.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Thanks for the feedback man!

@@CalvinAwesome I'm still banned from your discord; your mods are out of control.

[@Mr_Green892]

Will you do a video about contradicting kits? One example is trayas lead is supposed to dispel ALL debuffs and malgus has fear that cant be dispelled. Traya doesn't always work properly anyway, I have had enemies with isolate that heal, counter, and resist debuffs. Thanks

[@CalvinAwesome]

Oh anti-synergy, yes

[@SimonKim1129]

Traya dispelling debuffs messing up Darth Revan’s stacks of ferocity is a good example.

[@chewonthebacca8264]

love this type of video dude. do more of this.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Anti-synergy has been added to the list!

[@g1itch561]

One thing I see a lot that bugs me is that some people refer to 100% tm gains as bonus turns. Like Zorii giving 100% tm to her allies when they fall below 100% health, or CLS call to action ability. I think there should be a term to refer to 100% tm gains, because it might get confusing referring to that as a bonus turn, because it functions a lot differently to an actual bonus turn.

[@CalvinAwesome]

This was almost one of the top 5, specifically for the practical reason that bonus turns bypass any TM negates whereas 100% does not

[@exarkun5]

awesome video, KK calc blew my mind !

[@CalvinAwesome]

It's a fun one that's for sure

[@jabroni-wan]

I was one of your sources of CAT confusion. I will (try to) never question you again!

[@Kimmiebabi1468]

Excellent information, thanks for the video

[@CalvinAwesome]

You're welcome! Thanks for the feedback

[@colcha]

Another informative video. Thank me thing I’d like to see done is a video for newer layers explaining aspects of the game, such as common terms like meta, buffs, debuffs, tenacity down, turn meter, etc. Those are things I never understood when I started playing.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Oh yeah, I've actually had a lot of requests for one purely on acronyms

[@colcha]

@@CalvinAwesome okay. Not even necessarily just acronyms but some general terms too would be helpful to many I think.

[@lilinu060]

I knew about the Turn meter not being multiplied with speed but i never considered dividing it. That’s actually very useful I noticed inconsistent damage through thermals but didn’t know about the difference per character And -999,999 tenacity is insane Thanks, I learned a lot here

[@CalvinAwesome]

Yeah most of these things aren't really intuitive nor listed anywhere in game. Glad you got something out of it!

[@CrowLawyer]

[@vitamind7392]

Nicely done.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Thank ya!

[@romancastro4556]

Awesome video really is some of the best advice you can give. Also I’m still confused at 9:34 when you time Katarns 266 speed by 1.3? Where did you get that 1.3 from ?

[@CalvinAwesome]

So the "1" just represents his speed. For example 266 x 1 = 266. The .3 is the 30% he's getting from having 3 RF allies.

[@PengWin707]

Very helpful, this was a good one! How much dmg do Zams thermals do?

[@CalvinAwesome]

30%

[@manicrespawn5422]

I LOVE CALVIN AWESOME!!

[@CalvinAwesome]

You're awesome

[@jayhawker8200]

"That's not how tuskens work"

[@CalvinAwesome]

Lol

[@djwillme]

How about things like dots and end of turn or beginning of turn effects. I’ve looked at high stacks of dots thinking that enemy will die when they try taking a turn and they survive and shred me when I had a chance to deal with them earlier.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Yeah that's a whole video

[@JaceMazama]

Great vid

[@CalvinAwesome]

Thank you!

[@swsweaty7731]

informative! regarding thermals - what happens when zam or boussh to trigger all thermals from allies with varying dmg output (i.e. dengar and / or mob enforcer)? regards

[@CalvinAwesome]

Thermal damage is decided by who applies. So if Boush pops Dengars thermals it's 20% max health

[@malgustheking]

Hello! Awesome video!

[@CalvinAwesome]

Hey awesome comment

[@jamesroddy4211]

CLS shares too!

[@CalvinAwesome]

Ahhh yes I should've listed that interact. So many people think it's chewpio when in reality it's the leader aka CLS

[@Pancakes66420]

I have a question with JKR's Savior type mechanics, would characters still be able to heal if they have a undispellable Healing Immunity or Shock etc.?

[@CalvinAwesome]

I'm fairly certain locked healing immunity stops the heal, the savior still technically happens though

[@lenny7228]

Oog

[@jimmartin6803]

Where can I find how much each character's thermals do?

[@CalvinAwesome]

.GGs coding can show you exactly but it's been summarized in this reddit post. www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/14wzgl5/thermal_detonators_should_be_standardized/

Don’t thermals crit? How does that work?

They can yes, that's a whole other thing honestly. As I believe it's built on the victims CD.

[@Dak36799]

Is it just me or do geos heal even with healing immunity?

[@jasenbertrand]

Equalizing(health/proctection) ignores/bypasses healing immunity

[@CalvinAwesome]

Health equalization, another tricky term.

[@dsp8363]

Why echo basic omega so useless?

[@Moshi_Ach_Loki-Eko]

your kyle katarn had offense set...but swgoh shows majority of kyber use speed set. what gives? you barely use his team anyways now?

[@CalvinAwesome]

Offense is better on him if you can get him high enough to have a functional starting speed of 380 or so, if not use a speed set. I would be careful modding off of what the majority do, while it works out some of the time, you're also getting a very "average" outcome

[@peterrowe9654]

What is you multiplied it by .3

[@peterrowe9654]

than subtract that from the base speed

That wouldn't work?
