Primary stat enhancement: A big boost for a particular stat. Shape: Square, Diamond, Circle, Arrow, Triangle, or Cross. In fact mods have several different features, which makes the whole thing annoyingly complex: Each toon has six slots in which to put mods, each of which is a particular shape, and will only take mods of the shape. The introduction of mods allowed players to enhance particular stats to magnify particular strengths of their characters (or toons) or bolster their weaknesses. In facts there’s a whole array of different stats including physical damage, special damage, potency, and tenacity, and some of the interactions of these stats when in battle can be rather complex. Speed isn’t the only stat that characters have. Winning in this game mode depends on the abilities and stats of your team members, and a general rule of thumb is speed is king, as it means your characters can take more turns than your opponents’. Therefore this particular game mode is extremely important for players that want to progress quickly. Crystals are the base currency of the game and actually have a monetory value, at least in so far as it’s crystals that are bought by Pay-to Win players. One of the game modes allows you to pit a team of 5 of your chosen characters against other people’s teams, with a ranking system that gives various rewards, including crystals. Firstly, this game is highly competitive (and addictive). Key among the tools that players were crying out for was some kind of mod management utility.īefore I get into mods, it’s probably worth explaining some things. Fortunately, SWGOH is a very data intensive (but unfortunately time intensive) game, and the player community was screaming out for some tools to help them plan and manage their resources. It was around this time that I was beginning to learn R, and was looking for a personal project to increase my competence. 
After quitting the game due to the massively disruptive introduction of “mods”, which allowed you to finely tune the stats of your characters, I returned to the game 9 months later to find that the developers had reduced the game destroying effects they had initially caused. What started out as a curiosity ended up being quite an addictive hobby, and the number of features and game modes (and new characters to unlock!) grew quickly. Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes is essentially a jazzed up version of Top Trumps where you collect characters, upgrade them, and use them to earn rewards. Back in 2015, during the boring period between Christmas and New Year, I decided to try out a Star Wars mobile game.
