Roster Building: 40 Best Teams in GAC Ranked (NO Galactic Legends!) June 2023

[@doffie_doff]

Zorii is definitely A-tier, possibly even higher, alongside Traya

[@CalvinAwesome]

Kind of scary that a marquee character did that

[@hlepme7861]

Zori definitely deserves a tier. I would only use an a tier or above team to take her on defense because sometimes your entire team dies before taking a turn

[@CalvinAwesome]

The team is so busted man

[@alec500-j8p]

P0

[@bomafett]

My Sana squad has gotten a lot of holds over the last few seasons. But, you have to put Cara on the team if you want it to perform well.

[@tylerbuntin4072]

Great video! For 40 teams, very concise yet also informative.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Thank you! That was the goal 😅

[@ruibarian5187]

A lot of people are talking up Zorii, but I think the Tuskens counter so many A-tier teams already (and Zorii) that if you bump her up, you'd probably need to comsider moving them up as well.

[@Chickenugget985]

25:34 This aged well lol

[@CalvinAwesome]

Lol nailed it

[@1212Shade]

saw-rebel squad is a good one to be put in the last wall simply because your opponent might have already used all their good counters for it.. if you’re up against someone that doesn’t really understands saw’s kit, they can pretty much throw every leftover teams they have at it and saw’s squads will still end up with almost full hp and protection (provided he has his omi)..

[@luminousrxk7288]

I am 4/4 with zori vs Jabba in GAC. Ive heard of Kyber 1 players using Zori to beat Rey as well. They practically beat every non-gl thing on offense except for Malgus, Reva, and Malicos. It looks like they are a hard counter to the new Bo as well.

[@mcleigh66]

Maul is the character that made my Mandalorian team viable in the Krait Dragon Raid. Otherwise, I'm glad I didn't go out of my way to farm him. Other than that thought, this was a really helpful listen. Thanks!

[@CalvinAwesome]

You're welcome!

[@dwbryant13]

If you don’t have nurse bros or developed scoundrels but went for profundity or starkiller and have a relicd dash you can farm the tarful node for both tarful and vandor then farm L3. Hypothetically you should already have 7 star zaalbar. So you can make a team thats easy to farm and insanely potent that only costs 4 zetas and saves you an omicron on dash. Tarful lead dash zaalbar vandor L3

[@marcelopendola9701]

great guide man

[@CalvinAwesome]

Thank you!

[@roman3975]

Great Video. That was fast delivery btw 😂🎉

[@CalvinAwesome]

Lol it's the longest this one has gone but 40 teams is a lot

[@crackedfrijoles6696]

Yeah Zorri is nuts. In one of Songetas video a preloaded Zorri killed LV in about 20 seconds

[@CalvinAwesome]

Oh yeah I saw, super gross

[@themoderndaygamer637]

As someone who has most of these teams at low gear I’m working at star killer right now and only 4.5 mil gp so I feel solid having them and just like gear 11

[@erikmyers1781]

Love all the new videos. Hoping you will be doing a 3v3 version.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Oooo that needs to happen

[@jerseydrive4686]

Just got merrin too Relic 5 and I also have old Dhaka at Relic 5 going to bring the whole team To Relic 5 but as they are right now 2 Relic 5 and 3 G 12s I'm handling nodes in hard Conquest pretty easily super excited to get my night sisters completely done

[@CalvinAwesome]

They're a fun squad

[@johnherrera5261]

Zorri should be in A tier imo also id put the saw team in mid B tier

[@bomafett]

Endor Leia may boost the Ewoks a lot.

[@twistpv]

No stop it *squirt bottle*

[@brettkonz2955]

Great video Calvin and thank you for not adding in Galactic Legends - big ask but have you thought about a 3v3 version of this video!? It would be great to see how you break out each of these teams

[@CalvinAwesome]

That's long overdue, I might plan for next 3s

[@iOnlySay]

i had a hard time vs a Cere Team with JML but it had CAT... everything is good with CAT

[@CalvinAwesome]

And her boosts are broken

[@Justanotherconsumer]

Reva and the Inquisitors? Their last album was pretty metal.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Best song?

[@Justanotherconsumer]

@@CalvinAwesome Rage Against the More Machine Now Than Man.

[@FourEyedGie]

I made a new acct for the zori team and for an iden team. Both teams are pretty ftp accessible and as soon as I get to lvl 85 my GAC opponents will cry😂

[@Breeze914]

I only recently started building Imp. What makes it better to use veers lead over piett.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Gaining buff giving 10% TM goes a long way. You can make a turn meter train to the point where the enemy team never gets a turn

[@Breeze914]

@@CalvinAwesome Ah alright tysm!

[@jayhawker8200]

I think that cere team is pretty good.

[@JoshFerris-m5p]

Calvin how long you been playing your roster is impressive

[@CalvinAwesome]

five years and 8 months I think? It's been a long time

[@jayhawker8200]

Im guessing GAS is going to be at 1 or near it with that datacron

[@CalvinAwesome]

DCs not included 😬

[@jayhawker8200]

I've been deceived, and now, my prediction, shall fall

[@Justanotherconsumer]

GAS is always going to be a good non-GL squad. Same with JKL - for the amount of work involved, you’d better get something.

[@trixternationtv5887]

I whaled on Cal Kestis Survivor reqs, I would put UFUs as a high B or really low A, really only a defensive team. Saw does not do well, so i would put him in C being a character that you hope that no one knows how to counter. Tarfull is a low B, tons of buffs, a fun team, but not really great compared to other teams

[@paperboy856]

Would love cg make some of the requirement chacters more useful give em a upgrade .... something ...it seems like now just farm what ever new characters coming out and thats the new shiny team... Intill another new character......how good is the ewoks with omicron now ???? Is it worth it or what league isnt it good any more

[@CalvinAwesome]

Woks still aren't great. Better but not end game

[@gcstoyles]

First - great video! Very helpful - thanks. One thing - Please stop switching back and forth between screens. Thanks again for the great analysis!

[@CalvinAwesome]

Screens?

[@nickmorrison467]

how high does captain rex lift phoenix on the list tho

[@CalvinAwesome]

I'm not quite sure yet, he's very new

[@chrisgrimes1268]

Would old Ben instead of general kenobi work

[@CalvinAwesome]

Definitely

[@iOnlySay]

since Zorii can kill some GL´s i think the question is between A tier and S tier :D

[@CalvinAwesome]

This is the way

[@PlasticandRage]

I dont understand the focus on aurra lead. Dengar can hit his payout just as fast, if not faster, and I personally think his leadership is better and hes a better character. With fennec on his team he can hit his payout in 2 turns. I run dengar, fennec, and mando in 3v3 a lot. Use mando to call fennec on the payout target, then use fennec to attack them again and youre done. Or degnars mines will do it too. Gets you a turn 3 disintegrate and youre not stuck using aurra. With the target being the healthiest character it's almost always someone whose taunting, and his lead gives you survivability and nerfs enemy damage.

[@CalvinAwesome]

The issue is when the taunting character loses too much health and suddenly the contract moves and the whole things falls apart. Or there is a jumping taunt in the maul team, or the taunter isn't actually the healthiest or they dodge. I actually do like dengar lead but it's just not as much of a guarantee as aurra

[@PlasticandRage]

@@CalvinAwesome are you using hunters against Maul? Imps are my go to. I guess it's possible that could happen, but if you do it right he hits the payout so quickly I think it's unlikely. Also, if you're using characters like mando or dengar to hit the payout, dengars big multihit is an aoe, and mando ignores taunts. Also, mauls squad bounces taunts around to the healthiest character, so in theory that'd also be bouncing dengars payout target to that same character whose taunting.

[@ChristopherSherman-xe4bz]

Is it better to focus on adding more depth with these teams, or try for a first GL?

[@CalvinAwesome]

There's merit to both. I'd suggest a higher focus on the core teams (A tier) particularly the ones that unlock more resource revenues like Assault Battles. If you can get those to flow into Jabba your account will move pretty quickly with the amount of stuff you get

[@Justanotherconsumer]

@@CalvinAwesome the claim that inquisitors only require G9 on each to get CT1 is something I’m going to test, last AB for me. I really regret not having Troopers though. I can get CT1 on the rebels with hunters and CT2 on the Ewoks with Palp, but missing the “free” signal data is just leaving money on the table.

[@bobojo6447]

The fact that Zorii can kill GLs makes me hate the sequels even more

[@josh_ari]

Your subliminal Caribbean maramba elevator music is driving me bats. I'm not sure if it needs to be turned up in the mix or turned down, but barely perceptible is not a fun place.

[@CalvinAwesome]

I've recently turned my own volume up, we'll see if that helps

[@josh_ari]

@@CalvinAwesome sorry I was kind of rude. Turn up your background music so we can hear it. :-)

[@aidenmccown3405]

No way he called the ewok lifter

[@CalvinAwesome]

Lol I made a much bigger post on her coming to the game on my discord. But yes

[@wnapolitan1773]

Chirpa's omicron is actually not that bad. Nest is still cutting through it perfectly, but some other counters may struggle, which is why alomost every GA bears bring me one extra hold.

[@epiclord7039]

Yeah. Zorri is one of the best ftp teams in the game.

[@paperboy856]

☘️☘️☘️☘️

[@epiclord7039]

Ahhh. Don’t use marauder with Malgus! The team really suffered without the tm gains from talon or assassin!!

[@CalvinAwesome]

While I do prefer the two of them the win rates don't change much with Marauder so it's kind of whatever. I suppose if you want GAS to go from bad to worse.

[@paperboy856]

Bounty hunters..are win win chicken dinner

[@CalvinAwesome]

No disintegrations.... Except yes

[@Paulsicles]

The "expecially" kills me 😬

[@CalvinAwesome]

Lol too much hip hop

[@someoneyoudontknowthename3931]

But....where the fuck IS darth revan and sith empire lol, this team is so crazy, i m actually bronzium 2 with no GL and 2.5 Mi PG just because it holds everyone except GLs and gas (revan at 345 speed tho)

[@CalvinAwesome]

S tier with Malgus

[@epiclord7039]

Traya also beats JMK w/o cat

[@CalvinAwesome]

Oh that's fun, makes sense too

[@jmc4766]

Omfg stop saying SUPER

[@CalvinAwesome]

nah
