Coming Back into SWGOH

I have been out of SWGOH for a while and have just gotten back into it. Before I left I was climbing near the top of my arena and there were no ships, phoenix characters, zetas or anything of that sort. I was the max level at 72 or something along those lines. Now I am back, I am way down in arena in the low 600s and everyone else is such a higher level than me, since they kept playing when I stopped. What are the best tips to get back into SWGOH and help out in raids and climb back up arena?
  • Depends on how committed you are. Post your SWGOH gg profile link if you have one.
  • Run while you can!

    A few notes:

    - We are deep into chase meta, it's probably close to the end of the cycle. Empire revamp didn't get empire to meta territory, there was Zaul infestation which ended with Rex+chase. So the future of the meta is hard to determine. I'd keep collecting gear, but wouldn't spend them until we are into new metas. I bet jedi revamp underway or new jedis making them prevalent.
    - For aat, there are many guilds that easily finishes it and you can look for a spot in one if you do your 600s perfectly. Imo the easiest teams you can collect that also scores good are droids for p2, wiggs for p4 and chirpa+palpy for p3. Start with whichever you are close to finishing. But since your damage won't be needed and besides top 3 everyone gets the same amount of GK shards, you can skip aat investment entirely if you won't push high for more gear.
    - Rancor gear is still very much the real bottleneck. You may choose to invest in teebo teams, there's also Jinn teams capable of full solo. They nerfed Zader full auto solo team, it doesn't do the deal anymore.
    - Your zeta unlock from ship challenges will take real time. Plan for it. Use your gw and ship arena coins to beef up your ships towards the unlock. Though bear in mind the droprate of the challenge is pretty low and some people prefer solely buying them from ship shop.
    - I would consider a new account since you won't be pushing top 50 for months and level 72 is not that deep into the game either. In case of a reroll see the newbie tutorials around the forum.
  • Start over. Buy Chaze and easily dominate your new shard finishing first everyday.

    You're welcome.
  • Don't start over. Any new shard will be infested with as many whales as your current one, if not more
  • Just one tip:
    DO NOT farm characters you know and love like Darth Vader, (raid) Han Solo, Anakin, Tarkin, Ashoka, QuiGonJinn, Mace Windu, Leia, Deathtrooper, or Maul and all the characters who accompany them well. They will only get you to top 100 and will constantly be nerfed by the devs from multiple complaints about them barely cracking the top 50 in Squad Arena. If you want top 20 then you need to farm a big Jamaican guy in heavy bright red armor and a blind Chinese guy with no armor as well as an astromech droid which is only good for repairing fighter ships in combat and lastly a bald guy named Rex who is actually pretty cool, but has unesessary synergy with everyone somehow - even dark side users. For some reason they are the strongest people who don't even have a lightsaber and are hardly Force sensitive. But, what do I know, I'm just a 1 1/2 year long free to play player.

    How do you start a new account on the same phone without losing the old one?
