Plotting & Scheming: S79 5v5 Preview (featuring Special Guest: Scrybe Gaming!)
📚 Main topics
- Week-one relics and remodsThe panel discussed holding relic materials for the upcoming Andor-era requirements while making targeted adjustments to teams such as Old Republic, Inquisitors, and the Great Mothers. Several players noted that older or less-used teams no longer need the fastest mods, easing pressure on their mod inventories. 2:37
- New datacron setWeek-one priorities included datacrons for Drogan and the Inquisitors, with some players also preparing Hera, AdRad, and Chirrut options. The panel discussed the difficulty of rolling desirable protection stats and weighed the new, shorter datacron cadence against its material costs. 34:55
- Old Republic and SateleThe panel considered how to mod Jedi Knight Revan, Jolee, Bastila, and Satele now that the team has changed. Revan’s speed and durability were recurring priorities, while Jolee’s build depends on the matchup and can reach substantial crit avoidance without a dedicated primary. 1:07:08
- Offense, defense, and team testingThe group debated where to use Satele, whether to leave Starkiller and Stranger on defense, and which teams may be worth testing in five-on-five. Bad Batch, Phoenix with Hera’s datacron, Wookiees, and a possible Drogan-led Rebel Fighters team all came up. 1:33:55
- Era design and preparationPanelists compared the current era’s two-team focus with the previous era’s wider set of characters. The current era may mean less remodding, but some felt its delayed leaderships and limited Coliseum testing made it less engaging. 2:25:55
✨ Key takeaways
- Save resources for the upcoming eraSeveral players are stockpiling relic materials for the Andor-era units and their resource event, rather than investing heavily in characters whose value is still uncertain. 21:57
- Satele is still a strong optionThe panel generally viewed Satele as powerful despite the change to her kit, but her best use may depend on available datacrons and the opposing team. Her strength also means she can be saved for a difficult matchup or used to overmatch a weaker one. 27:41
- Mod for the matchup, not a rigid templateRevan should generally be made fast while balancing protection and survivability; Jolee’s defensive stats and crit avoidance should be adjusted to the intended counter. The panel cautioned against assuming one fixed build will suit every fight. 2:06:07
- Use datacrons pragmaticallyRather than forcing a particular datacron build, players can take advantage of strong stat rolls and useful abilities as they appear. Protection is especially desirable in this set, but the panel noted that good rolls can be hard to obtain. 52:37
- Expect experimentation in week oneThe panel anticipated that new team compositions, returning teams, and unfamiliar datacron interactions could produce messy results. Testing counters and learning from failed attempts may be worthwhile, particularly early in the season. 3:04:55
🧠 Lessons learned
- A powerful offense team can create defensive optionsAdding a strong new offense tool does not only make attacking easier; it may free up a previously reserved team for defense. The panel noted that players may still hesitate to make that trade, especially during the first week of a new format. 1:45:48
- Stranger may still be worth leaving on defenseThe panel discussed the risk that opponents will save Satele for Stranger, but also argued that pulling Stranger for offense is only worthwhile if a specific defensive matchup demands it. 1:30:14
- Do not overvalue perfect datacronsWith fewer opportunities and high reroll costs, chasing ideal rolls can be expensive. Several panelists favored accepting imperfect builds and working with the best available stats. 58:24
- Some team counters depend on execution and roster investmentThe discussion of Jedi Revan, Phoenix, and Resistance against Rey highlighted how turn order, survivability, and datacrons can affect a counter. A lineup that works in one setup may fail when the opponent changes its composition. 1:41:10
🏁 Conclusion/next steps
- Prepare for week one, then reassessPanelists planned to finish their remods and datacron choices before lock-in, test promising teams, and adjust based on actual results. Week three, when the new era units arrive, is expected to bring the biggest changes. 2:58:41
- Watch for results and share testingThe group looked forward to reviewing the first week’s battles and comparing experiments, including potential Phoenix and Rebel Fighters uses. Scrybe Gaming also planned to test the new datacrons and keep Stranger on defense. 3:06:30

Questions & Answers
Common questions about this video
¿Qué cambios hizo Tassenix a sus personajes de la Antigua República antes de la primera semana?
Aumentó la protección de Jedi Knight Revan con una flecha de velocidad y primarias de protección, y ajustó a Bastila para que fuera más lenta que Jolee y aprovechara mejor la mecánica de turno adicional de Satele. También mejoró la armadura de Satele Shan. 3:40
¿Por qué varios participantes están ahorrando recursos para la nueva era de Andor?
La nueva era requiere una gran inversión de reliquias y materiales, incluida la preparación para una batalla de era que se espera que pida varios personajes a R9 y uno a R10. Por eso, varios prefieren guardar recursos en lugar de invertirlos ahora en mejoras menos urgentes. 21:57
¿Qué recomendación dio Fatal para las modificaciones de Jolee Bindo en el equipo de Satele?
Fatal recomendó priorizar la supervivencia de Jolee con primarias de salud y una combinación flexible de salud, defensa y tenacidad, en vez de perseguir una configuración rígida. Jolee obtiene mucha evasión crítica de su habilidad única, así que no suele necesitar una primaria de tenacidad ni una flecha de evasión crítica para uso general. 1:16:33
¿Qué datacrones consideraron más importantes para la primera semana?
Se mencionaron especialmente los datacrones de Drogan y del Gran Inquisidor. También se valoró tener una opción para los Inquisidores y considerar los datacrones de Hera y AdRad; aun así, varios participantes señalaron que no era necesario apresurarse si ya tenían buenos datacrones del conjunto anterior. 35:26
¿Qué opinaron sobre usar a Satele Shan contra Rey en 5 contra 5?
Satele parece una opción muy fuerte contra Rey, incluso si Rey va acompañada por Ezra, aunque puede ser excesivo gastar ese equipo en ese enfrentamiento. La conversación también destacó que conviene reforzar la supervivencia de los aliados y no depender únicamente de su gran protección. 1:39:04
¿Por qué Fatal considera que Stranger debería quedarse en defensa en 5 contra 5?
Fatal dijo que suele dejar a Stranger en defensa porque espera que el rival reserve a Satele para la ofensiva. Si el oponente usa a Satele contra Stranger, Fatal considera que eso puede ser una buena concesión: el rival gasta un equipo potente y probablemente no obtiene una victoria con máximas medallas. 1:30:14
¿Qué diferencias destacaron entre las dos eras recientes en cuanto a preparación para Gran Arena?
La primera era afectaba a muchos más equipos y exigía modificar más personajes, pero algunos preferían su variedad y la posibilidad de mejorar equipos antiguos. La segunda era parecía más sencilla de preparar para algunos, aunque otros la encontraron menos entretenida y señalaron que las dos facciones nuevas tardaron en recibir líderes útiles. 2:27:00
