Remember guys, kyrotech is supposed to reduce gear crunch. CG said so

[@CalvinAwesome]

Lol reminds me of Thanos saying he was solving overpopulation by committing genocide. Technically the truth but creating a much bigger problem

[@juroen6134]

Well ... that was a lie...

[@jayhawker8200]

@Juroen well no, they just told the truth, from a certain point of view. The rest of the gear crunch is mostly gone.

[@dimitrinicomanis]

I hate Kyrotech! Its such a grind!

[@johnherrera5261]

I'd rather farm carbanti then kyros

[@zetahoven4556]

I came back to this game after 4 years and I actually couldnt believe my eyes when Is saw Mando need G13 pieces at G8. What an insanely terrible idea! I remember when Stun guns made me cry but now I just spend all my gac currency and one refresh a day to get one piece of gear a month

[@friezasama8860]

THATS UNACCEPTABLE WE NEED TO FORCE THEM TO DO BETTER

[@sherwin979]

One thing I wanted to add was Chewbacca’s max health damage was mainly done as a way for him to also counter the zeta Barris GK cheese to CLS. Later on C3PO and Chewpio made it even easier.

[@damcrac]

I like the idea of the video. Another cool one to build off of this would be a squads that cost less than 400 kyros. (Obviously excluding g13 piece). Would be a middle ground, easily geared while farming them up.

[@CalvinAwesome]

I love that. Thank you for the idea

[@XxxHypnoticONExxX]

LOVE this video. So many videos have meta teams that we don't all have access to. This video is great because it can show you some lesser teams you can make without the "essentials." Thanks, Cal!

[@CalvinAwesome]

Thanks for the feedback! Glad to know my mission was accomplished. I like all my ideal teams but they are just unavailable to so many people

[@Polskiprepper1]

5.8m ftp and royally stuck on kyrotech. This video really helped with options

[@Under4s]

a year or two ago? It was in november 2022 Calvin :D

[@CalvinAwesome]

Yeah hard traded the word month for year. Recording is fun

[@Mr.Flex1992]

Omg you hoarded 1163 kyrotech? Teach me, master ! XD

[@Trebbih]

great video, as someone who is still somewhat early on (have executor but not much else) omicrons are actually much easier to acquire and spend on a team than 800 kyros. Also A few good characters you could've added throughout these teams or as plug ins wherever that also don't need kyros: greef karga, C-3PO, IG-11 and kuill :)

[@CalvinAwesome]

3po I noticed the second I uploaded! Good catch. What lead would you suggest for kuill and IG? Appreciate the feedback, i honestly didn't know about the omicron to kyro scarcity

[@Trebbih]

@@CalvinAwesome personally I've found kuill and IG to just be really useful throughout the game. I get that later on big rosters have fully scoped teams for every scenario but early on they give you a pretaunt and a home for left over scoundrels and droids. E.g add them to a left over bounty hunter (e.g Boba Fett) or even a left over R2D2 you are not using and you have a 3 man team for GAC. Or when you are desperate for a pretaunt in conquest throw them in. Going for executor early means you get them early and they are just a lot more useful than most of the stuff I'm forced to farm (once I got BAM they have stuck with him but he definitely doesn't fit into the no kyros video aha)

[@Trebbih]

@@CalvinAwesome and for a bit more on the omicrons. Most of the good ones are on nice to have teams. Normal early game teams are revans, CLS, Padme, troopers, GG etc. All of that stuff doesn't need omicrons and early on you are so stuck for credits and gear you can't really build up the teams to use the omicrons fast enough. Also if you are FTP and grinding from level one, you start getting omicrons from galactic battles at level 50 but you can't spend them for another 3 months minimum

[@sniper1a259]

I can confirm, as a f2p I have a ton of spare omicrons lying around, because I don't have any toons to put them on that would make a difference I have most of the important ones like Wampa, Savage, MJ, QGJ, Traya, I recently put one on low gear Phasma to clean some backwall teams in TW but still there are 100+ Omicron pieces waiting for me to unlock Starkiller

[@friezasama8860]

OMNICRONS ARE NOT EASY AT ALL TO FRAM ARE YOU MAD?

[@ajharmiah2692]

This is a great video honestly. I have good teams that are just held back by kyrotech and tgis helps. Ive never seen another swgoh channel make a video about kyrotechs specifically (i think) so this is a unique video. Also no wonder how i upgraded my bounty hunter team so fast. I have the exact one you showed in your video. Great for GAC.

[@CalvinAwesome]

I've gotten a lot of feedback about how much of a bottleneck they are. So that's kind of what inspired this. Thanks for the feedback!

[@asurmen32]

just FYI, that BH squad with Zam omni still often goes 1st. not as strong going 1st cause no instant mando delete though.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Yeah her boost does a ton

[@lukeremsberg5796]

“About a year or two ago” -literally 2 months ago 😂

[@CalvinAwesome]

Lol the words I swap while recording astound me

[@lukeremsberg5796]

@@CalvinAwesome I got a good laugh at it

[@joshuaromero1649]

hey man nice guide, I could suggest that you make either best teams for conquest or for proving grounds. As this could be very helpful for beginners.

[@TheMrSmirky]

im a returning new player. this game is soo different. thank you for this

[@jedilynx1770]

You can take geos down with scraps, as long as your scaps aren’t crap. For my alt I had kylo, sf tp and executional, and I beat them Edit: this is 3v3 I’m talking about

[@Awakened_1130]

Jawas? I'm thinking for the upcoming raid. Thanks for the vid - great idea!

[@CalvinAwesome]

You're welcome! I thought about Jawas, they could make the list depending on the entry level for the raid

[@paperboy856]

When do u balance farming chacters...gear relic and Catania chacters.....ATM I'm doing everything but gear .....and kyrotech etc teams can't build any one have any advice

[@sniper1a259]

Greef actually doesn't use any Kyros if I recall correctly

[@CalvinAwesome]

You're correct! I missed that one. (Again)

[@landrydunhm3067]

I can’t believe some of the acronyms you use. I’m sorry, but objectively speaking it’s Chew-pac or three-pac (they’re interchangeable).

[@CalvinAwesome]

Apology accepted

[@Zymurgy01]

ARC surprised me too.

[@CalvinAwesome]

I had to double check

[@hlepme7861]

Next GL is gonna require new marquees that require both kyros and injectors from g8 upwards

[@jayhawker8200]

Back here after a certain event put a massive need for kyros on my account.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Odd, wonder what happened

[@paperboy856]

Is traya team more for defense or offense ... And for greaves he's better on defense team right ...... I love traya but outta the 2 teams what one gets used the most outta everything in swgoh traya ???

[@CalvinAwesome]

Depends on where you're at. Traya is typically defense for me, GG is only defense in the beg game

[@paperboy856]

Jango Fett on the bounty hunter team ??? Why he's more for separatist team I thought it I'm I wrong

[@CalvinAwesome]

Either or

[@EricFavini]

Wow sitting on over 1100 Mk 7 Kyro! Can you make a video on how you farm/buy Kyro?

[@CalvinAwesome]

I need to do an overall resource management guide at some point

[@EricFavini]

@@CalvinAwesome that'd be great 👍

[@PacificEgg]

Returning player here. When I last played I was building Nute as leader of my geos. Is that still the play 😅

[@CalvinAwesome]

Lol it is not. However Nute does very well leading the leftover seps or under grievous. Geos do fine on their own for the most part

[@PacificEgg]

@@CalvinAwesome much love

[@lenny7228]

7:00 That is indeed, not, the best nightsister team.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Spirit over Talia?

[@lenny7228]

@@CalvinAwesome Yes, or for some matches, even acolyte. Talia is only really useful for the assault battle.

[@nellAx19]

2:54 No. Ewoks are an “okay” team at best. Their main and essentially only use is to get C-3PO.

[@CalvinAwesome]

Varies very highly on where you're at. But yes they're the worst team on this list for a reason

[@nellAx19]

@@CalvinAwesome Never really varied in my opinion. Even early game, they’re solo food for Nest. Need the omicron and god tier mods to make them viable.

[@nonono9194]

They're high relic reqs for GL Leia so may aswell use them

[@DannyDL1ght]

What GL leia she was not announced😂

[@ActvNva]

Everyone hates on ewoks, but I use them almost every 5v5 GAC. I'm only 4M and in chromium, so people place garbage in the back and my g11/12 owoks get great banners. I've even killed full relic bounty hunters because my opponent couldn't be bothered to put speed on them.

[@brillcouncil4584]

Low gear piett with the trap zeta imo >>> farming shards of snow of you aren't using a cron.

[@CalvinAwesome]

We talked about them in fast farm video. This video was trying hard to avoid any and all kyro characters

[@brillcouncil4584]

@Calvin Awesome low enough gear piett IS zero kyro and can still juice imps. The trade off is you can put off farming the shards for some other imp. Imo that's a little more efficient.

[@Gregatron13]

Do you have a similar video for no omnicrons?

[@CalvinAwesome]

No but gosh I should

[@Gregatron13]

U sure that these characters don't use any Kyros ????! Gear 1 to 11 or 12??

[@CalvinAwesome]

I checked most of the suspicious ones. Is there one you doubt?

[@pieeater420fromnewknightso2]

G1-11..once u gear 12 a char then of course they will need 100 of one of the two kyros if u want to g13 them. I think calvin is saying they don’t require kyros to get to g12 were as almost all new chars now require almost 400+ just to get to g12 then another 100 to g13 them.

[@paperboy856]

Bro u sure u werent one of the back street boys ........

[@CalvinAwesome]

Tell me why?

[@nayrux1546]

So for the gg team nute is better than droideka for gac ?

[@CalvinAwesome]

Yup

[@phoebedraper170]

Nope

[@DannyDL1ght]

Talon in that traya team instead of marauder, she boosts the team with offense,speed and health

Unfortunately she requires Kyros and couldn't make the list

Jedi are good against Geonosian teams.

Beginning game they're decent. You have to fill GAC board with something
