I’m a scotch man myself. Glen or Dewars will do. But man, I can’t play when I’m hammered at all lol. It’s like drunken boxing but drunken Jedi.

Bourbon and beer man here. The more I drink, the faster I fall on the leaderboard. Eventually, I have to switch from Galactic Assault to HvV cause it's easier to just run away or spam R2 when you're drunk. The next stage in boozing takes me to Starfighter Assault. For whatever reason, I'm a really good drunk pilot. However, the sauce will eventually have me spawn crashing into debris which will lead me to a last ditch effort in HvV Starfighters. By this time, I'm usually pretty close to a blackout. Of course, when I've finally regained consciousness, I always seem to have lost all my star cards while stumbling around in a dark forest getting chased by tiny teddy bears. That's just a typical Wednesday night.

I finally got to play him a couple of times in hvv and got him to level 5. His voice lines are great, how could it have taken this long to get him in the game? Bad priorities for sure.

and didn't get the most important star card LOL

Which the Regen card? Far top left one? I skip that mostly. For Grievous sure, he’s slow and a big target. But Obi can get in and out faster. And I play aggressively not passively. So the card wouldn’t suit my play style anyways. It was super fun playing and leveling him though! I hope you get him to 25 soon, he’s awesome IMO.

you must be playing on console. on PC, people can actually aim from the other end of the map!

thelasteverjedi · November 30, 2018 4:43AM

also discovered his force push doesn't touch anyone on kashyyyk

anyone has the same thing? did umpteen force push pointing every direction and touched nothing.

You’re joking right? I’m on PC.... and I’m disgusting in GA, and even more so in HVV. I don’t need hero advice...

I’m sure I’ll be just fine.

Yes and they’re aware of it as an issue. As well as the accidentally aiming down with all out push disappearing and not attacking the target focused on. It just disappears beneath the ground.

Congrats! Just accomplished that feat myself.

Awesome job man! Very happy you got through it. How was the leveling experience for you so far?

Obi-Wan is fun, but I had an easier time with Grievous. To be honest, I only had one 1st place Obi finish in HvV. With Grievous, finishing on top happened frequently. I've grinded to level 30 with Obi, & I've yet to figure out a solid method of attack. He does work very well defensively, though. Regardless, I couldn't be happier to have him in the game & look forward to any tweeks to his character that may come.

the only luck I've had is waiting after match while it searches for the next game hold down the right direction and as soon as you see the continue button hit it and then quickly do it again once he highlighted if you hold down the right direction you can highlight him pretty quickly. the biggest problem is likely going to be lag/internet speed. some people will be in selection screen before you even get out of match search. the good news is once you get him you can horde him the whole match. sometimes the broken matchamaking works in your favor and you get to be light side again after the match.

Do what must be done, Lord Vader. Do not hesitate. Show no mercy. Only then will you be strong enough with Obi Wan to be level 25.

That's been my tactic fro Grievous and Obi Wan, but this last two days he was already selected when hero selection popped up... It is devastating when you see it. It's even worse when you see somebody with level 40 using them.

Yeah, I make it a point that after I get a new Hero to 25, and get some footage to upload, I back off him for a while as to not be uber greedy about it. "Sharing is caring" etc. Just sits better with me that way to back off after I did what I needed to do mainly anyways.

quenaelin · November 30, 2018 2:10PM

Good, good, I haven't got a change to play Obi-Wan yet, I have only played about 1-2 hours after new patch. Maybe I have to wait when double XP is over, maybe then I have a change to get to play Obi-Wan.

Same thing with me, sometimes I even can play better, but sometimes not

stevenomes · November 30, 2018 2:20PM

a lot of people quitting when they don't get Obi, leaving me 3v4 and getting wrecked if I do get him. if I dont get him I'll happily choose someone else. double xp apply to all and many of my heroes still need a lot of work.

MM certainly does not help most the time. But it does have its moments Han Solo style where it keeps throwing you Light Side.

But congrats man! Fantastic job!

Thanks! Should be 25 later today or so. Your link to your Obi Wan setup is great- thanks! I’m debating which Push card is best. I have been basically pretty lazy and haven’t bought more than 4 blue/rare cards until able to buy purples

Thanks man! The guides there for everyone who needs it. I use those setups mainly. Some are concerned over his Regen card, and others over push range. I’ve seen what his lower damage longer push can do as well. It’s a sleeper move. They never see it coming because it goes sooooo far they can’t predict its attack range. So it has benefits, and allows you to cast from farther letting you charge it up fully. But does less damage. Pros and cons etc.

But I use my loadout based on how I play. Mess around with builds till you find what’s right for you! 👍

Booze is nasty, I got in almost to 19 so far weeeee his push needs tweaking and mind trick needs to go and he needs something else entirely, also his rush forward move sucks too change it or fix it

Lawnmow3rMan · December 2, 2018 3:41PM

Finally just got him level 25. What are the best star cards for him? Right now I'm using the one for base health, bigger push size, and more damage from defensive rush saber strikes. Anyone have a better combo?

@Lawnmow3rMan , Depends on the mode.

I use this loadout for GA:

You can see that build in action here:

For HVV/HS I use:

Perfect Defense, Think It Over, More Doubts.

It's normal to mess around and test out different combos to see what better suit your play style. I posted some builds here:

It doesn't work for me. Am I supposed to hold right, double tap right, or use the D-Pad (or maybe I have to hold right during the "traveling to..." Screen, and not the character selection screen)?

I'd go with the push card that deals more damage (or keeps default damage, as might be the case).

you need to hold right on dpad when it says travelling to and then as soon as you "continue" hit x (while holding right) and cursor will go over to obi. you have to then hit x again to get him. it works for me sometimes but again its limited by your internet and lag .

Finally got Obi-Wan to Level 25!!!
