Winning battles in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes

[Music] hello and welcome to pocket gamer. bus's YouTube channel I'm John Jordan so the game we're looking at today is EA Mobile Star Wars uh Galaxy of Heroes so it's a game we' looking at in quite a lot of detail over the last month or so and the reason we've been doing that is it's a pretty interesting game so there's lots of um kind of layers on it it's a card-based game um kind of fundamentally so you're kind of collecting lots of characters and upgrading them and there's also like as you can see here loads of things to do so you have events and challenges the squad Cantina battles the Light Side battles the dark side battles Squad Arena you're playing other players um Galactic walls is another separate thing you see there's a whole bunch of stuff I haven't unlocked yet um there data cards shipments a whole bunch of stuff um now what we kind of going to do in this video is just basically explain kind of how the the squad system works really so we're going to go to Squad Arena um so I'm going to play effectively play another player so we can see here these are the options I I can have um so you can see

my rank at the top um you can see my power this is this number here 7,549 you can see the rank the rank and the uh Power of the other players um OB see if I can beat a player who's much higher ranked than me my rank will go up um and we can kind of see these other um kind of characters and we can see their their um their lead kind of squad character that's the one shown and and the attributes so I can see with dark NCO all his allies gain 25% critical damage so the next gu Bishop Richardson all his allies 20 gain 20 defense so um so Boba fets and a and a chewbaca um so let's let's be uh let's go low grade let's go for the guy for the lowest power so this is my squad now um so my squad power I could swap some in and out let's have a look see what I've got this's pretty much me I could swap um The Night Stalker out for Captain plasma let's see how that increases

doesn't really do very much cuz to okay um probably leave that probably keep chewing there okay so let's go into battle and see what happens um so what you're doing in a squad I mean this is the part of the game where you can you can mix kind of light side and dark side so we can see there's a whole bunch of stuff going on here he's got a w I got a wiie Wookies are tank characters so um at this point I can choose to attack um different characters here I will choose to attack the Jedi the Jedi is a healing character so it's kind of good time going down get on with it so he's going to do his big attack um and he stunned the other character so my Jedi going to take Jedi so basically I want to get rid of his healing character as fast as possible um The W can do a Tor that means he's a tank he's going to take all the damage for a round hopefully he won't die um okay I'm going to do um big attack from The Night Stalker see if I can work out this probably going to get get rid of this

healer character now obviously they're all attacking my wook his W is going to play his so you can see now I can't actually I have to attack the W now so I'm not I'm going to play not my heavy attack on this cuz that be wasted on the get a tank just going to have to play for the next round to play all my um kind of just minor attacks um uh so I could do a heal but I'll just do the basic attack I could have healed the W actually probably should done that he's going to probably die now wook so we can see now I can select again so I can attack the heilo I want to get healer out the way before he starts healing people they got another healer there so I've got one as well night stalker but when they heal they take damage themselves um do I want to do that okay probably risk it don't to lose the wi okay now I'm going to get this healer he's healed himself but I can probably still hopeing next round get rid of he's red come on let's get rid of him yes there we go okay so he's lost his main healer so that's good so probably next thing to do is go after his secondary healer um

am I going to heal myself probably this stage going I'll do around another heal um because it's best to use use it now um always good to use heals when some characters damage so this is just a basic attack stalker light stalker um so am I going to run this one down all my characters are quite powered up um healthwise so that's good you can see the blue line on the bottom is the is a timer is attack time so this can be sped up not not happening actually at the moment but different in different missions you can have different characters who will speed up or or actually play and move speed things up I've not got any on my squ at the moment so that's a good attack good J attack resistance that's good so I'm not taking too much damage I'm going to do a big attack here okay so I should get rid of this one now gone yeah so I've got rid of basically all these healers now I don't want to um get rid of that character it's only got three health bars so that should be quite easy to get rid of first all the tie pilot actually has some

interesting powers in terms of speeding stuff up um but not necessarily that powerful see the things over their heads that kind of show some attributes that being played okay got rid of him so probably now I've got all my characters my five characters all oh I didn't want to do that I didn't want ATT oh he's play his Tor I've got attack the now CU he's played his taor I don't want to play my taor because my rookie is damaged um so okay we're going to go through a round of just attacking the wi um still do it yeah okay so just another basic attack it's not really you can see it's not really having much effect um but that's not what I can do at this stage but I don't care I've got five he's got two he's probably going to get rid of one of mine attack this the other secondary character jell character now so you see that won't my Tor just attack attack attack no he's his t no he hasn't okay there major attack coming in here so that should take him down to Yellow um no point attack this is a major Jedi attack good and now now she's dead oh he's he she okay so now prettyy

straight for one um doesn't matter what the wi does the going attack one of my characters at the same time um all my all my just attacks even if they're minor attacks I've got five five on one I it's just I'm bother I can heal just to just to make sure mine major attack coming in here he's resisted but he's still got to take a big hit he's healed himself but doesn't really matter it's just just it's all all over by the shouting now so you can see how this squad battle stuff happens you have to know um on the enemy side who you're going to attack first um they're going to want to use you know anyone with a tank character is going to want to use their tank character and absorb energy you know he can kill himself but it's just such a low level now he's getting attacked all the time so it's all over so you can kind of see how you have to use the squad the squad really and the different um attributes of the squad and using them so you can see my ranks increase so that other player wasn't was kind of roughly the same level as me um

but um my ranks increase you know what's that 200 over 200 points that's pretty good um so I can't now do another Arena attack um for five five minutes unless I use some unless I use some gems which is a hard curreny 50 don't really want to use gems so let's just go back to that um so but anyway that was just to give you an idea really how you use a squad and particularly not particularly how you kind of have to focus on the on the enemy and you have to really kind of um know um the enemy characters to know which ones to attack that was quite easy for me because they had a very similar kind of squad to me so I knew which was my most powerful characters which were their most powerful characters so I knew had to take them out they didn't take my characters out they just kind of wasted their attacks um so that was an example of how you would use how you have to know the characters in this game to have any success so um don't forget to subscribe to our Channel we're doing um quite a bit of um kind of analysis of particularly this game but we do a lot of analysis of freeto play mobile games so subscribe and you won't
