Better way to spend energy refreshes?

I am FTP and can earn 200 crystals a day from arena, GW, daily activities, whatever. So far, I have been going with 2 cantina refreshes, with an odd normal energy refresh. The gear crunch hasn't been hitting me too hard, mainly because I'm not in some T7 guild, and raid gear is the biggest stopping point. I still need a lot of essential cantina toons (B2, Anakin, Wedge, RG, and some more), and that is why I have been spending more on cantina. However, raid gear is finally coming along, so I need more gear.

What is the smartest way to spend, 100/100 with cantina, and 100/50/50 with cantina and normal energy?

    Depends on short term goals.

    How badly do you need the heroes from Cantina vs how badly do you need the salvages you can farm with regular energy?

    EDIT: you're doing it right, the process of maintaining progression, and what happens at this crossroad doesn't matter hugely as both roads still head to the finish line.

    I hate to be "that guy" but if you are interested you could buy a crystal subscription (+100 crystals a day). With 300 crystals to play with you can do the 100/100 cantina + 50/50 regular refreshes, which is the sweet spot for value as far as I'm concerned.

    As pure f2p, you could try to bump your arena rank a bit, but otherwise I personally like the 100/100 cantina over the 50/50 + 100 split.

    I'll be that guy with ya. I have one running constantly, and never thought twice about it. :)

    I agree that the subscription is a great deal, but I am 100% FTP, I don't really spend anything on mobile games. I can easily get top 100 in arena, and it will take a bit of time to be able to snipe top 50 for me. I'm fine with my rank right now, and the higher rank will come with time for me.

    I myself was a bit slow realizing how much a difference a high arena rank would make for your overall progression — but as soon as I started focusing all on my arena team and future arena toons, I worked myself into top—35 at first, then top 20, then higher — and those extra crystals really make a huge difference. I would advice to do the same. Prioritize your arena squad and use whatever leftovers on your raid squads etc.

    I have a noob question: where can I find the crystal subscription? How do I buy that? I don't see it in the crystal shop.

    The subscription did not show up until I spent $10 on a crystal pack. So there is some minimum purchase that needs to be made before it shows up.
