Conquest Hard Newbie...doubts?

My go to character for easy 3 stars is a fast Dash Rendar with at least 3 Zealous Ambition datadisks. He can pretty much nuke an entire team with just his aoe. If you can't get him fast enough you can always use a fast Thrawn and pass the TM onto Dash and boom, entire team gone in one shot.

To be honest, I do have him a relic 7 for Profundity and that really helps with his damage output, so not the cheapest solution but using him really makes clearing nodes a breeze.

Dash is a BEAST, to get the smugglers feat in S5, i stuck him with Hoda and Rey and just obliterated the toons.

Update...by the end of conquest i actually managed to do the 4 first sectors...so i can answer myself...
1) Hard provides more rewards as long as you have an effective GL (with ultimate). I used SEE to "unblock" hard nodes...i would get ONE star, but move trough,
2) More GLs are good, but not NECESSARY. GOOD TEAMS and BUFFS help getting three stars on many nodes, BUT the "tasks" are mostly impossible for anyone with an "incomplete" roster. HARD "needs" lots of reliced teams to finish, including "recent" teams that free players wont have anytime soon. BUT an unfinished HARD is better than a complete MEDIUM.
3) SEE can one star most nodes. I did fail a couple, but could go around or use something else. I DID NOT FINISH so not 100% sure it can be done, but i got to sector 5.
4) VERY GOOD Jedi, Sith, GR, Empire, ITroopers will clear nodes in HARD; If improved i guess they will be even better...so i will RELIC a few of them up to 5 (or 7 if possible). Way cheaper than getting more GLs.

For Conquest GL's are useful for sure, particularly if your overall team isn't going to be naturally strong. for example i used Rey with 3p0, R2, Chewpio, and IG to get the droid kills, as i don't have 5rt.

However, as you've stated in your summary post, having other strong teams are very effective.
My main teams are:
Palp Lead, Mara Jade, Thrawn, RG, Piett/Vader
GAS + 501st
GG
Padme +4 (great if you have Zealous Ambition, and useful if you use Support and Tanks only)
CLS Rebels
Any mix match GL with support toons. I have 6/7 GL's so i tend to use an assortment of GL's to match my need.
Need evasion feat, use JML with Jedi, but namely Hoda and Yoda.
Need a team moved out of the way but need to save stamina on more critical team, use SLKR or JMK
Need survivability until i can get an attack.... use Rey with Wat


On occasion i may use Imperial troopers but i find they are a bit squishy.

Tbf though, i've found that this Conquest has been the worst for F2P players to get the feats
