Mods

Quick tips

 * Decide on minimum speed threshold when all 4 stats shown: 3, 4, or 5. Up the threshold when depth increases, see https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/comment/1743686/#Comment_1743686
 * Process mods from gold to grey
 * Process triangles last. Hard to get good triangles with speed

What to sell

 * 1) 4 dot or below
 * 2) Defense primaries (except for on diamond of course. Only a few tanky toons like Fives may benefit from defense on other mods)
 * 3) Accuracy primaries (except for a few niche cases). Found on: arrow, cross, triangle
 * 4) Crit avoidance primaries (except for a few niche cases). Found on: arrow, cross, triangle
 * 5) Mods with all stats showing which meet the following criteria (unless high speed):
 * Speed set with no secondary speed
 * Potency set with no secondary potency
 * Tenacity set with no secondary tenacity
 * Offense set with no secondary offense

There is also an over-abundance of the following, so you can sell once you have a few spare:
 * health circle - use described here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/8mf6xm/when_to_use_health_primary_circle/
 * health triangle
 * health cross
 * health arrows
 * protection arrows

Slicing
Slicing Quick Tips
 * Prioritise speed set mods as these go on toons that need speed the most
 * Only slice mods with high Speed secondaries as per table below
 * Offense, Defense, and Crit Damage primaries give the best returns on slicing
 * Offense %, Defense %, Potency %, and Health % secondaries give the best returns on slicing

When to slice
After leveling to 12 - NOT 15! Leveling from 12 to 15 only improves primary stat! However, you need to level to 15 before slicing.

Primary criteria: existing speed
Note: speed arrows should only be sliced considering complementary stats (see below)

Down and Dirty mod Guide

Secondary criteria: complementary stats

 * Give priority to mods with complementary stats.
 * Complementary means the number of secondaries that fit the set or primary (where applicable - diamonds will always have defense, but we don't want defense on attackers per say).

For example:
 * Speed set with speed primary or secondary => aim for 1 match, always 1/4 chance
 * Crit chance / Crit damage / Offense => aim for 2+ matches
 * Crit avoid, health, protection, defense, tenacity => aim for 3+ matches

Note:
 * always avoid defense primaries - but defense secondaries okay
 * offense % better than flat offense with relics

Third criteria: stat value
See table of maximum value for stats: https://gaming-fans.com/star-wars-goh/swgoh-101/swgoh-101-comprehensive-mod-guide/swgoh-101-mod-guide-primary-secondary-stats/



No speed characters
Why = auto-taunt, tm-gain, assist, counter-attack

Toons that need high speed
Essential and relatively accessible (DR, Wat, etc. excluded):


 * Genosian Brute Alpha - utility
 * BB8 - Secret intel and illuminated destiny
 * R2D2 - to put toons under stealth and force focus on tank
 * BSF - supercharges EP with debuffs
 * Count Dooku - to put others under stealth and forcing focus on taunt
 * Nute - get extortion out
 * Sion - to get to held by hatred before Spy one-shots
 * Shaak Ti - for cleanse and other utility
 * Jango
 * Rex
 * CLS
 * Padme

Reasons for speed:
 * TM train - e.g. Stark, Vader, FOO
 * taunt - e.g. Bossk
 * debuff - e.g. BSF, DR
 * specials - e.g. JKR with Mark, Dooku, Nute
 * general utility - e.g. BB8

Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes - Character Stats - The base character speeds are a good guide, however, the focus should generally be on support characters that set up TM trains, though there are other cases where a non-support character needs to be fastest.

Crit Damage or Offence

Buying from mod store
The mods here are VERY expensive. Only buy gold mods with all stats showing. You should be satisfied if ANY of these stats increase, not particular stats. For example.
 * Offense set Offense cross with:
 * Offense %
 * Offense flat
 * Crit chance
 * 5 speed
