UNLOCK THE STRANGER THE LAZY WAY - STAY OUT OF PROVING GROUNDS || CONQUEST 21 GUIDE
By Xaereth Prevails
Summary
## Key takeaways - **Unlock Stranger with Crate 5, Not Crate 7**: You only need to achieve Crate 5 to unlock the Stranger character, which is significantly easier than aiming for Crate 7. This approach requires 450 key cards, compared to the 630 needed for Crate 7, making the process more accessible. [01:29], [03:45] - **Lazy Unlocking: Focus on Conquest Currency**: To unlock characters the 'lazy way' without new teams or Galactic Legends, prioritize spending your Conquest currency on character shards. This strategy avoids the need for expensive or complex team compositions. [00:48], [03:20] - **Skip Hassle Sectors for Easier Feats**: Sectors 1 and 2 can be particularly difficult. If you're struggling, consider skipping feats in these sectors if you can obtain enough key cards from easier feats in later sectors. For instance, the 'Stagger' feat is only worth 5 key cards and can be skipped if it's too troublesome. [06:31], [06:44] - **B2 Droid for Buff Immunity**: The B2 Battle Droid is highly effective for spamming buff immunity. Each of its AoE attacks provides five attempts at applying this debuff, making it a valuable asset for certain challenges. [08:24], [08:42] - **Easy Bonus Turns with Empire or Night Sisters**: Achieving bonus turns is straightforward with Darth Vader's Merciless Massacre or a Night Sisters team. The Night Sisters, in particular, gain numerous bonus turns through their kit mechanics. [09:47], [10:03] - **Jabba Team for Disarm Feat**: If you have the Jabba team, it's ideal for the 'disarm' feat. Jabba's basic attacks hand out 'blind,' and characters like Crokantine can perform the disarm, simplifying the process. [12:36], [12:50]

What's Froto short for?
Because he's a hobbit.
Hello everyone and welcome to another
episode of Zerith Prevails. Today we're
going to talk about how to unlock the
stranger without using any Galactic
Legends or new teams. Of course, we're
going to mention a few of the Galactic
Legends and stuff, but there are enough
guides out there that you can probably
find a way to unlock him. Uh if if you
have all the Galactic Legends and stuff,
you're probably it's probably pretty
easy for you anyways. But um this this
series has always been uh kind of angled
toward unlocking
conquest characters the the lazy way,
not not having to put a tremendous
amount of effort into it. And uh so
that's what we're going to do. Or having
like a smaller account that doesn't have
all the things. So no new teams, no
Galactic Legends. Um first off, huge
shout out to my patrons. You guys are
awesome and I couldn't do this without
you. Thank you guys so much for your
support, guys. I I really, really
appreciate it. And if you want to
support this channel for free folks, all
you got to do is hit that thumbs up
button, like, subscribe, comment. Let's
mount the algorithm together forever.
That doesn't sound ominous at all, does
it? Uh, so let let's go over this one
more time. Um,
you only need crate five. There there's
seven crates in conquest. Yes, this is
hard conquest. People ask this
sometimes. This is hard conquest. I
don't know what the other two are like.
Uh eventually I'll start a new account
and discover that joy for myself.
However, today is not that day. Uh this
is hard conquest. All the screenshots
you see are going to be from my alt
account, which is at 11 million, which
is like kind of late Midame. So, um it's
it's a little less and less relevant to
like newer accounts, but uh the the fact
remains and I've done this forever. You
can see screenshots from a long time
ago. And this is even I've even uh it's
it's lasted even longer, but it takes 6
months to unlock a conquest character if
you you get crate 5. And crate 5 is uh
relatively easy to get. I'm not going to
say it's really easy for every account.
It's not. but it's relatively easy to
get. And so there's kind it's kind of a
weird hodge podge. I I spent a little
time this time trying to clean up this
this uh graphic. Eventually I need to
just make a better one. But essentially
what it is is like I break it down. You
get uh in in the various conquests. So,
the first three conquests that you do
with that a new conquest character is uh
uh released,
the crate will in crate 5 will give you
50 shards of that character. Um, and
then after that, because it's like the
secondary character uh conquest
character, you get 25 from the crate.
But then also, if you get the pass, you
don't have to get the pass, but if you
get the pass, you'll also get 17 uh
shards of that character through in
conquests 1 through three. And then you
get 24 in conquest 4 through 5. So you
don't have to spend money to do it, but
if you don't spend money, you need to
spend basically all most or all of your
conquest currency on character shards.
All right, so you guys can read it more.
If you have questions, feel free to ask
in the comments. I'll try to help break
it down a little more. But um our goal,
like I said, is crate five, and you only
need 450 key cards. that that's like the
points that you get and earn in
conquest. If you want to get red crate,
which is crate 7, you need 630. So, it's
it's way reduced. It's way reduced. And
so, even though it's nice to get these
new characters right away, it's way
better if we can at least get them
before they are locked behind proving
grounds. That's that proving grounds are
so frustrating to deal with. And so, um,
anyways, we're, uh, we can get 330 key
cards from if we three star all the
nodes. I know that that's not always
going to be possible for everyone, but,
uh, it's going to be possible for a lot
of people, and, uh, for the most part,
we're going to be able to do it. Maybe
not on some of the bosses, I guess, at
the very end, but, um, I'll show you
guys like all we need is 120 uh, from
feats, and they're This one is pretty
easy, actually. Um, so we'll go over
that data discs breakdown. I haven't
updated this for a while, but feel free
to screenshot it. I I need to uh I need
to look through and uh choose which ones
are uh still belong on this list, which
ones still uh you know don't really. Um
it changes every time. They add new
ones, they get rid of some of them, etc.
rest of the these builds are kind of
old, but um I decided after after some
thought that I I would leave this list
in there cuz it's better than nothing,
right? So, um I do need to update this
though. I I'll work on that. Um in the
meantime, the next the next guide
hopefully it'll be updated. So, uh
sector one. Now, all of these sectors
are a little bit awkward in the sense
that you have to keep certain pirates
alive. like you can't just complete the
fight when they started with you. You
have to have them survive the whole
thing, which is the tricky part, right?
Because a lot of these characters are uh
relatively new. Now, one of the things I
will remind you of though, you can get
them all to gear 12 or even to gear 13
before
they're fully farmed up. Like I I forget
now off the top of my head, like if
you're a fourstar, can you get him up to
third gear 13? I don't remember. But one
way or another, like trying to keep
Brutus alive, it Yeah, it's it's tough
to do. Um,
you you can probably do it in sector
one, hopefully if you have like a
Galactic Legend or something. I I didn't
check that as one of the boxes though.
None of the keep these pirates alive are
checked. Uh, if you have a good pirate
team, if you've gotten Ma, like a lot of
people do have it. My alt account
doesn't. I don't have Ma. I won't get
her. I actually got crate six. the last
couple times. Uh but I still won't have
her for like two more months. It's just
not that that practical. Um instead, so
sector one, keep in mind sector one and
two are the ones that if they're a huge
hassle and they're getting you down and
you can get other ones in the later
sectors, then maybe just don't. If
you're like, I hate doing stagger.
Stagger annoys the heck out of me. It's
only five key cards. It's not much. It's
the relatively smallest amount possible.
You don't have to do it. No one's making
you do it, but if you want to, uh,
stagger is not too tough to get. Uh, you
can get it from Mara Jade. You could do
like a Stariller team cuz even though
Stariller shines in GAC more than the
other ones, he still gives a lot of nice
boosts to his teams in other game modes,
just not just not like to a preposterous
level. So, uh, you know, a Stariller
team with Mara Jade is still going to be
significantly better than, uh, the same
team without Stariller. Um, you can also
do, uh, you can also use Sabine to do
her AoE, and that's actually that can be
really quick with the Phoenix team just
because,
uh, Chopper is constantly decreasing
their cooldown, so she can get several
of her AoE's off in a row to make that
happen. Uh the one thing to keep in mind
is uh you're going to want Captain Rex
for later uh runs with clones, though
that's that's in later sectors. So uh
you probably you probably have free run
to do this for a little bit. You do want
Captain Rex there. Um if you want uh so
the the all tanks team, if you have a
Jedi Master Luke team, you can probably
just find five Jedi tanks and destroy it
pretty easily. If you don't have Jedi
Master Luke, which I told you it's
without Galactic Legends, uh you can
probably use a like a team like this
Sith team where it's it's got Malgus,
it's got Malik, uh Sith Empire Trooper,
Darth Scion, and then uh the last one is
obviously he's not a Sith, but he's
really nice. He's a reactive character.
um the the B2 battle droid and then
he'll just spam as as you continue to
get hit. Then he's going to take bonus
turns and do AoE's and every time he
does his AoE is five attempts at doing
buff immunity. And honestly, he's the
one guy I would just say if you have B2
uh leveled up and all, get just using
him to spam buff immunity. I don't I
just don't think you you're going to
need it more. Um, for Brutus, if you
want to keep him alive, just keep him
with some dark side galactic legend.
And, uh, Supreme Leader Kylo happens to
have on basic, he does, uh, buff
immunity as well. So, you could do that
or not. I don't really care. Um, so
we're we're saying 18 key cards for
this. Uh, you I'm also just assuming you
have Commander Luke Skywalker, and I'm
assuming we're all going to be able to
do that one. I have no idea what the
bosses are going to look like. This is a
very oddly specific like prescribed
teams for all the bosses. I don't know
how they're going to go. So, I mostly
didn't check those boxes unless they're
uh widely uh unlocked and used
characters. So, sector 2, remember this
is the same thing. Five key cards for
these. So, they're not vital. Um bonus
turns. This one is the easiest one ever
if you know what you're doing. If you
don't, then it could be really
frustrating. Um, probably the least
awesome one, but the one that's most uh
approachable, most uh getable from a lot
of people is uh some kind of Empire team
with Darth Vader because he can do
Merciless Massacre and then he takes a
ton of bonus turns throughout the
Merciless Massacre uh mechanics. The the
other another one that works really well
is Night Sisters. You don't need that
you don't really need the Great Mothers
for anything specific this time. Uh but
remember she does take a bonus turn
every time she uh like she takes a bonus
turn at the start to to give doom to
someone. She gives a bonus turn to uh to
bless someone and then she also every
time you kill the guy who's doomed then
you get she takes a bonus turn to uh
doom another character. So you end up
getting a lot of bonus turns there. Or
if you do have the frog team the gun
guns you just get this one like
automatically. you get it in like one
one turn like or one fight. It It's
crazy actually. It It is actually
bonkers how fast the the guns do it for
you. Um otherwise getting days to
people. Uh one thing you can do
passively which is really nice and
satisfying if you can find an Imperial
Troopers team which they're not uncommon
at all really. Uh they they're always
giving each other bonus turn meter. you
can just use an ADRAD team and they
passively give themselves days and you
just get this like in one fight as well.
It's it's really fun. Um otherwise you
can give you hand out days with the dark
trooper mob Gideon team like crazy. Um I
think that screenshot is actually from
my main account for what it's worth. My
my alt doesn't have it. Um and then if
you want to keep Vayain and Silva alive.
I think this is the probably the worst
team suggestion I've ever given. I don't
think it's end going to end up doing
that well cuz I I screenshotted it when
I didn't realize they had to still be
alive on this one. They have to both
survive. This one is the most skippable
one in in all of in in all the land. Um
unless you have a good pirate team. This
just seems like if you have a bunch of
gear 12 pirates that they're just going
to be a huge hassle. Um and then so for
the boss it says when using only Kylo
Ren, that's like the OG Kylo Ren. I
assume you need his Zeta to do it. Um,
probably wouldn't recommend applying
that Zeta just for this boss unless you
desperately need three key cards, but
yeah, I guess you could. Um, okay. So,
sector 3, this is where key cards start
uh getting more vital because they're
you get 10 for each of these feeds. So,
um, all right. So, disarm is such a
relatively new debuff. There's only
three characters in the game that
actually do this debuff. CX2, which is
one of the new clones. Cursantin, which
he's been around for a while. And then
Recker uh the mercenary version. And if
you don't have those uh geared up, like
they're all relatively new. So uh if if
you have the Jaba team, then this is
this is like a custom build sector for
Jabba because you can do uh if if you
just spam Jaba basics, he hands out
blind to people. Um, and then also you
can um you have Croantin doing the
disarm. You can also do blind with
Chupio if you would like to. Um, you
also get evasion down for the global
feat with Chupio. Uh, one team I didn't
put on here, but it works really well.
It because uh Saw Saw takes a lot of uh
he takes his turn early and often and he
does once he does his AoE. um not the
once per game AoE, but just as normal
like the the a yeah you know the AoE
that reduces turn meter and stuff. Uh
that's also a an AoE for blind. Uh so
that works. Clone kills. Honestly, this
could be kind of a hassle. Like I
wouldn't recommend trying to use Lord
Vader even if you have the Lord Vader
team because Lord Vader is the one that
kills people or the DOTs are the one
that kills people. Uh and that doesn't
attribute any kills to the actual
clones. Instead, I would use old school
clones with Captain Rex. That that tends
to be really effective and um it works.
Uh also, Bad Batch, if you have them
worked up and you have a fast echo, it
can work depending on which data cards,
data key card, whatever they're called,
um that you have. So, that that can
work. And then keeping keeping keeping
SM33 can work um with with like a Moz
Canada team or if you don't have Moz or
Hondo, you can use you can use uh Ethano
and company like you could see my alt
has a bunch of these all the way up to
relic one. It's really impressive, I
realize. But remember, he has to live
live. And remember that uh there's one
global feat where SM or where where you
need 100 profit, which isn't that tough
to get if you have a pirate team. Just
remember that SM33 doesn't get profit
ever. He like that's that's one thing
about his kit. He never gains profit.
No, no one can give it to him. He just
doesn't gain it. Um so he doesn't help
with that global feed for what it's
worth. Um all right. So, sector four,
you have to keep Quigles alive. Again,
if you have pirates, then great. If not,
then it's probably skippable. I didn't
check that box on it. Um, the battle for
no tanks in the squad. This is really
nice because you can you get evasion up
and no tanks. The CLS team doesn't have
tanks and it's still really strong. Um,
and you get evasion up with Han Solo
doing his like shrug move or whatever it
is, the buff for everyone. You get five
uh for that. And also, you're getting um
you if if you want to double it, by the
way, you could probably find some way to
finangle like Grandmaster Yoda onto the
team. And whenever Han does his shrug,
then have Yoda spread that buff around
and give it get another five versions of
that out. You could or uh you know, you
could just march through this. Um, you
also get the evasion down uh debuff from
Chupio
every time he does his basic, which is
part of his um which is part of his uh
part of our global feats, right? And
then uh damage over time. If you have
Tuskkins,
this is so easy. Uh like you just get it
almost immediately. It's it's just like
right away you get a ton of damage over
times. Um,
and um,
though, uh, now I'm reading this, it
says damage over time effects on enemies
with an ability. May maybe that's just
trying to discount that discclude the
Tuskkins. If that doesn't work, I guess
you have to go old school and use Darth
or yeah, use Darth Vader or or Lord
Vader. And uh, that that could be way
more miserable. So maybe skip that one
if if uh, Tuskkins don't work. uh sector
five.
So, um win 10 battles with CX2
surviving. So, this coincides nicely
with the uh like win 20 battles with
four dark side clones. If you have a
Lord Vader team or like if you trust
Tarkin with those four clones, then
awesome. Uh this is the time to do it.
And um yeah, you you'll be able to
double dip there. And then tenacity down
and defense down. You can get that with
the Ufu team with Seir and Cal. And then
like you uh Ben even does on his basic,
he does defense down. Cal does does
defense down on on basic and then
tenacity down from Cal with his AoE. Um
Mara hands out tenacity down. There's a
lot of characters that do tenacity down.
Um and then if you want to get 10 wins
with pirates, then I guess just use
whatever pirate team you have or just
skip it. I didn't put the check mark
down um for it. of global feats. We have
um a few interesting ones. So, uh the
one I skipped was uh win win 40 or 20
battles with four dark side clones on
the on your squad. Probably something
you can kind of just skip. Evasion down
80 times. Uh you can you can get that
pretty quick. Apparently, my graphic I I
kept the uh I accidentally have that red
writing there that doesn't have any uh
have any meaning for this particular
graphic. So, have have fun with that.
That's from last video, I think. Um uh
win 20 battles with a full squad of
Galactic Republic. I'm not your mom. I'm
not going to tell you how to do that.
That that's there's like a million teams
that do that. Uh you there's there's you
should have a Galactic Republic team
that that can do that. you should
probably have like five of those kind of
teams. So hopefully you have it. Um,
evade at least 200 attacks. I would just
suggest like for a long time just kind
of go through your battles without
worrying about this and then be more
intentional about it toward the end uh
of conquest if you haven't gotten it yet
because you're going to get a lot of
them passively. like it's going to kind
of be a waste if you're very intentional
about getting it in sector 1 and then
you you get it, but then you you didn't
have to be you didn't have to spend that
much time and effort to get it in sector
one when you could have gotten like at
least 50 of them passively throughout
your other fights potentially. um
gaining profit once again really easy if
you have uh like either pirate king
Hondo or Ma but if you don't which I'm
not assuming you do this is going to be
a tough one like get using Athano can do
it um and um otherwise so the evasion of
200 attacks just just to go back to that
one just a little bit um trying to use a
lot of foresight with uh resistance can
be really nice there um and stuff so uh
Not not too bad. So really out out of
all of them, we needed 120 key cards for
feats and I point pinpointed
187 that you can get pretty easily
without any new characters or Galactic
Legends mostly just ignoring the boss
notes as well. And so that means you can
there's like 67 from this from key cards
from just feats that you can kind of
just ignore which is awesome in my
opinion. Um, so as far as datacron
farming, there is a video that I'll have
linked in the video description if you
want to. Um, if you want to check it
out, just uh free to play how how to use
datacrons and stuff. Um, and you can
read all the things about it if you if
you don't want to do datacron at this
point. Either you like them or you
don't. They've been around for for a
long time, like 3 years now or something
like that. It's it's been crazy. So
anyways, that's it. Uh, I hope this was
helpful. Uh, I I hope you're able to get
the stranger unlocked early because he's
he looks good, man. Um, but like the
kid, not not him. Just kidding. Um, he's
an actor. I'm sure he does look good.
But one way or another, guys, that I
think I'm going to let you go. Thank you
all so much for watching. And remember
that in all things, Earth fails. Take
care folks.
