Advice for relic 8 and upgrade

Just got JMK r7 and may take another couple of weeks to a month to get his ultimate. Been using JML r7 w/ datacron to get just within ranks 55-45 in arena in the meantime. Read that r8 is mainly for an offense boost but at r9, JML becomes one of the strongest GLs, goal is to eventually get him there while working on the rest of the roster for depth.

Still a long way from executor, a lot of guys need to be relicing, would probably take longer than getting JMK's ultimate.

Was wondering whether to save the r8 parts for BF and Piett for executor down the line (couple months at the least), put it on JMK at the time being for arena/gac offense, or work towards a r9 JML for stronger defense?

Secondly, regarding two kyrotech requirement characters, dark trooper or mara Jade to g12? Imperial troopers with range have been decent taking down NS and BH teams and others, but having dark trooper is said to be able to take down next level bigger fish targets. Meanwhile, Mara Jade supposedly helps boost EP for defense (or offense). Was wondering which is the better focus of the two? Bad batch and Dash is the plan to follow.
  • The difference between r7 and r8 on one of your characters is not as big a deal to your roster as unlocking something else that requires those same r8 mats.

    If r8 is a big resource sink for you, just use them on requirements. Maybe think about spending them when you have 2 sets in your back pocket, spend the third as you see fit.

    G12 dark trooper does lift the trooper team, and can be enough to get you through tier 3 of the assault battles, if you are patient and lucky. But to really elevate the team to the big leagues he needs r5.

    G11 Mara Jade can be enough to start getting a useful boost to your EP team, but on defence she will be focussed down very easily. I guess by g11 you've already spent all the kyros anyway too.

    Mara or Dark is a close call that really comes down to personal preference. If you're going to do Dash, then Starkiller starts to come into the equation. So maybe that would tilt the balance towards Mara.
