At this time I have only 2 toons at relic 7 and they are jedi revan and gm Yoda. I have maybe 2 toons at relic 5 which are light side bastila and r2 and most at 4 like asajj, bossk, grievous, dooku, and some between 2 and 3. Which relic level would be considered best for any toon in general? Since reaching relic 4 isn't too bad and offers good stat boosts would that be a good bet to focus on for most toons not needed for galactic legends?

Not taking hard required relic levels (for GL's or JKL) into consideration I'd sayoverall - r0certain important chars for your team (like GMY or GeoSpy) - r4 (r5 already requires the more expensive relic mats aurodium heatsinks and the blue signal data)key chars (like GG, GK, GAS, Malak etc.) - r7So r0, r4 and r7 are the best relic lvls imo.

4 or 7, I wouldn’t bother leaving anything at r0 it’s not hard to get them to r4.

For GP efficiency it's R0. For most characters I'd say R3 or 4. Certain characters you want higher, because of ships, ability to solo teams, their status as a meta character, etc. There's no one-size fits all relic level imo.

I believe r3, 5 and 7 you see the biggest jumps. R3 is easy and costs relatively nothing and is good for most toons. R5 you see a big jump IMO and R7 is R7. Depending on the category of the toon it could mean a win or extra phase completed. Tanks get really tanky, Offense is huge for attackers with the boost in damage, crit chance and special damage. Most of my toons are between r3 and r5. some toons like GAS, the GLs and JKL you absolutely need them r7 to compete against other top tier teams. Malak is a beast at r7 as well.

I go for at least R5 always (2 mk 3 holos get you the heatsinks required) and currently have only one R7 (Vader because hell yeah). At my rate of G13 acquisition (approx one per month) R5 is no stretch. R5 is a good midpoint, R6/7 require G12+ gear to craft electriums and zinbiddles.

As long as your matchmaking GP is not made entirely of relics, r0 is the best choice on supports and characters that only need speed (like Starck for example).

R5+ on attackers, r3-4 on most tanks, r7 on your meta characters or the ones that have multiple uses (GLs, GG, JKL, GK, JKA, etc.).

Once you hit r3+ on your top 80, keeping anyone at r0 is no longer important, but until then it helps greatly with matchmaking. Finisher boost is less than 300 GP for a huge gain while one relic level is almost 1k.

Tbh for the "speed chars" like Starck I'd equip the 3 speed pieces and just not upgrade them or just equip the 3 right pieces. I've already had an opponent who did exactly that and had like 13 chars at g12+6.

If you put in the resources to equip the 3 right side pieces you might as well add the left side pieces and finish up to g13 so those juicy stat bonuses get added to your base stats and mod %stat boosts apply to them.
