@ForceArena SWFA 1.5 Update: Death to 2v2 & How to Alienate a Huge Portion of Your Playerbase
My assessment on Update 1.5: Pros: Faction based ratings & levels. In my opinion, splitting ratings and levels into factions is a good thing. Most players tend to climb in rating by playing only one faction. F2P players in particular tend to spend most of their credits on upgrading a single faction. This creates an issue if a player ever wants to try to play the other faction. Not only are they inexperienced on that faction, they are also under-leveled for their rating, which usually leads to a lot of losing and a poor experience. By splitting the ratings/levels into factions, players can try out the other faction at an…
Feb 23rd 2017 Force Arena Balance Update | Glory to the Free To Play Players
The 1.4 update for Star Wars Force Arena will be released today on 2/23/2017. Here are the main things you should take away from the update: 2 New Units (Aqualish Engineer & Wed Treadwell Droid) – Both of these units do the same thing, repair ally structures for 1% health per second. They both cost 3 energy and have low health pools that can be cleared with any form of long range AOE such as Tie Fighter, Ion Mine, X-Wing, Dioxis, etc. For this reason, I feel like the new units won’t be super effective as they will probably get focused by long range AOE as soon as they are…
The Best 2v2 Rebels Strategy in Star Wars Force Arena | Luke + Bodhi Adrenal Drop Pod Counter Strategy
In my previous “how to win as rebels” video I made some incorrect claims that I wanted to update everyone on in regards to Bodhi. Bodhi’s special ability Technician does the following: Damage taken by Bodhi Rook’s Structures and Land Vehicles decreases by 20%. (Turrets and Shield Generators are excluded) Some of the leader passives are a bit ambiguous and I apologize for spreading incorrect information about Bodhi. Here are some worthy things to note about Bodhi’s special: The 20% damage reduction translates to 25% effective HP. This is better than the 20% HP gain I stated in my previous video. His passive currently only applies to 3 cards: MLC-3…
Feb 3rd 2017 Force Arena Balance Update Thoughts On Patch Notes
Leader Balance Changes ▶ Bossk Dev Comment: When creating Bossk’s skill, we knew there was heavy potential for snares to be a bit too strong. We are modifying Bossk’s Skill “Elektro Net” to reduce the CC time, as when chained with other snares and stuns like Energy Pike Trap, it became very oppressive. Electro Net – Snare duration has been decreased from 3.5 sec to 3 sec. Bossk is a really strong leader, especially in 2v2 so I can understand the adjustment. The .5 second nerf on his snare is not a big deal. The bigger nerf to Bossk is actually the nerf to IG-88. He will still be a…
Some Tidbits of Information for Beginners in Star Wars Force Arena
Here is a collection of information about the game that I’ve heard people talk or ask about in the subreddit or on the community discord server that might not be apparent to you when you first start playing the game: You can check the required rating for each tier by clicking on your rating and then clicking on the “?” next to “Tier”. In the same screen you can also see the end-of-season rewards for each tier. At season reset, players in Tiers 1-6 will stay the same rating and players in Tier 7 (Kyber) will all be reset to 5600 rating. If your opponent is 200+ rating above your…

So I had a video set to upload tonight about how to play Empire into Rebels and how Empire was still viable and then netmarble released their balance notes for the 1/20 update: http://www.mobirum.com/article/detail?cafeId=StarWarsForceArena&bbsId=1571&id=673849 I started playing the game about a month ago during the soft launch and I’m really impressed with how good the balance team is for netmarble.
