Couple Questions from a Noob (Specifically GW related)

Question

So i started playing a few days ago. I assumed this game would be like most mobile games i have tried - mess around with it for a day or 2, get bored, delete the App. Well, I am hooked on it. So the last day or so i started reading a lot more on strats (unfort i prob wasted a lot of resources those 1st few days, but it is what it is).

So, i guess my major question is - i just hit 40 this morning and unlocked GW. Couple strats i read imply (at least to me) that you finish the whole thing as they are talking about all the shards you can get each day. Safe to assume this is unreasonable for lvl 40 with a meh to so-so stable? I am on the 6th battle. Lost Chewy in #5. Couple of my "A" team guys are at like 50% health (wasnt aware of being able to retreat until i already got to this point). I can not get through this battle (toons i am up against are all higher level than me - 44/43/42/42/41 - and all 3 or 4 star).

Is my play here (and for the future) just get as far as i can each day and hope for the best? If so, about what level should i start expecting to be able to finish the whole thing? I am TRYING to farm some jedi to attempt the Yoda event in 2 weeks - tho i assume the likelyhood of that may be slim... but im gonna try anyways.

Like i said, I am about 80% through 40 & 163 (atm) on my server. My toons are (sry not sure how to do that screen capture/paste)

Talia - 3* - Gear 5 - Power 1921 - lvl 40
Dooku - 3* - gear 5 - Pwr 1919 - lvl 40
GS - 2* - Gear 5 - Pwr 1798 - lvl 40
Chewy - 3* - Gear 3 - Pwr 1537 - lvl 40 - (Dead in this rd of GW)
HRS - 3* - gear 3 - PWR 1444 - lvl 40
IG86 - 2* - Gear 4 - PWR 1428 - lvl 40
Jawa - 3* - Gear 3 - PWR 1410 - lvl 40
JC - 2* - Gear 4 - PWR 1379 - lvl 40
RG - 2* - Gear 3 - PWR 1225 - lvl 40
Ewok Scout - 1* - Gear 3 - PWR 931 - lvl 38
Clone SGT - 1* - Gear 3 - PWR 877 - lvl 38
Snowtrooper - 1* - Gear 3 - PWR 845 - lvl 38
FOTP/FO Stormtrooper/Corus Police - 1/2/1* - level 10

Any advice is appreciated

Thanks

For GW it is important that you have good healers. I am a huge fan of JC for GW. His heal has an extremely low cool down once leveled which will help you immensely. Since you don't have Old Daka, Luminara, or Barriss, Talia might also be necessary. That being said any tokens you get should be put towards Luminara, she will make GW a lot easier. From what I've heard both JC and Lumi are important for the Yoda event (I am level 70 f2p but didn't have enough 5* Jedi  :o )

But i am WAY behind on Lumi and Sid (like i said, i wasted the 1st 2-3 days just casually messing around).  Am actually really bummed about Sid b/c a couple of days ago i read 2 articles - 1 about how some guy has a pretty nasty Droid team for Arena and 1 that basically said dont waste your time on Sid.  So i have dumped 35 arena tokens to HK (/cry) as i am not terribly fond of cookie cutters and thought the Droid team sounded cool.  /shrugSo basically I am just trying to right the ship and get on track and trying to figure how to maximize GW as best i can right now to get me Lumi as fast as i can

She's always my lead my GW with evasion and a little health per turn. And once her heal ability is high enough level she gives heals on extra turns after use. About yoda I think you might have to wait for the next time it comes, 15 days might be too short to get the required Jedi as you just started but you should be able to by the next one. I didn't have 5 Jedi when the event came out but I'm working on them now. Lumi JC qgj mace and eeth Koth are the easiest to farm for a f2p player. Not sure if they can finish the 7* challenge but I will definitely be able to unlock him at 5* for now at least. And try 7* when it comes again after. Yeah, i know it is prob a pipe dream but i am still gonna keep trying.  My expectation is i wont be ready to participate but it at least gives me something to focus on next 2 weeks.  That is part of what got me in trouble 1st few days to begin with - lack of direction/focus.So for GW tho, is about 6 missions all i should expect to complete in my current state?

HK-47 is solid as well but he really only shines as the leader of a droid team. Since you are working on JC and Lumi, I think a droid team should sit on the back burner since Poggle and IG-86 are both in GW shipments. I am also working on a droid team now because my Arena team sucks and I have to struggle to get into the top 50 but do not worry if you went for Sid first!  :)

UPDATE

Ok, so i made a critical mistake - but i at least now have clarity with how all this work for tommorrow and beyond. So i was stuck on the 4th battle. I kept restarting and i finally got some RNG luck on battle 4. Breezed through 5,6,7. For some reason, i thought 8 was the final one. So i want all out to win it - losing JC in the process..... only to find out i have 4 more left. Im now on 11. Dont know if i have the horses left to finish last 2. Lost Chewy (in rd 3) and IG86 and JC (in rd8). HRS and RG are very low health (red).

I am just gonna do what i can to try to finish at least one of these last 2. In that respect, i have enough droids to train 1 toon up to 40. Should i train FOTP (he's 1 star, lvl 10, gear lvl 3) or in 32m i will be able to unlock QGJ - though dont know how high i will be able to get his gear. I will be running them with Dooku & Jawa (in good shape) and Talia + Geo (bit banged up).

Thoughts?
