For a guy who doesn't have Baze, Chirrut or Cassian, I just don't see myself going too hard in this tournament.
The problem I see getting/staying into the Top 25 is that the whales will probably be the ones going hard in this tourney and I just can't compete.
Don't get me wrong, I am P2P and I finish Top 10 in both regular and ship Arena.
But I didn't unlock Chirrut or Cassian in their tournaments and didn't want to spend the crystals to farm Baze out of shipments (I opt for gear instead). I don't have a ton of shard shop currency, either, so couldn't get him there.
I am just not motivated to go the Rogue One Rebels route when I am placing Top 10 (mainly Top 5) on a daily basis running Palpy (L), Shoretrooper, Sun Fac, TFP and Boba Fett.
I am one gear piece from having Boba at gear 11 and then my whole Arena team will be there. Just not worth throwing a whole bunch of money to buy the $100 pack and then farm Baze to get a bunch of lower starred Rebels.
I will do what I did for the Tie Fighter Advanced tourney. I'll join about half way through the tournament and if my shard is too competitive, then I will just aim for Top 500 or Top 1,000 and probably spend like 30k ally points to do that.
