Hey guys, I just wanted your insight on a few things. I've been playing swgoh since around May/June 2016, and I've noticed that compared to others on my shard, I am way behind them. I'm mostly F2P, I've spent $40 on the game if that means anything. This is my swgoh.gg profile, https://swgoh.gg/u/fizzik/What's the best strategy for gearing? I'm in a guild where we compete 3 heroic rancors and 1-2 heroic AATs weekly, so I have a steady influx of gear. I am currently trying to gear 4 rebels for the EP event, and 5 sith to replace my out-of-order droids. I need some strategy tips from you guys, much appreciated!

F2p need focus, you are spreading yourself too thin trying to max gear that many toons.Swgoh.gg is a good place to see which toons require what gear, so you can pick 1 or 2 focus on them and use gear you get that they don't need and put it on others.That is the best strategy, and farming gear they all need help too.

I need to gear rebels if I want a good Sith team because rebels are needed for the EP event, and I'm also trying to gear EP, Savage, Nihilus, SA, and Dooku for my sith team.

As a f2p you just can't do that. You have to focus on just one team (and after that, just one toon) at a time, or you'll start falling behind. Trust me, I've been there

I plan on ditching rebels whenever they're strong enough for the EP challenge. I did exactly this! And because I did I'm just now getting my squad to g10, 3 of my team is still g9, and I am stuck facing squads with mostly g11 characters. The only reason I played rebels was to get my ep, I'm sure it will pay off in the end bit until then it's a slow grind.

Start by collecting (but not equipping) gear your rebels need. When the challenge comes, see if you can complete it without. If not, equip one person at a time, until you can complete. It shouldn't require much raid gear. The important thing is to fully mod your rebels with your best mods, so as to prevent using gear.

Then, you need to decide what team you want to run in arena, and focus on gearing them up one or two at a time.

EP event doesn't require high level gear. I did it with G7 and G8 toons. I think only Leia was G9 and +80, but the rest were unmodded and level 65-70.

Yeah but I don't have Wedge, Lando, or ST Han, I'm in for a challenge. AA, Leia, Hoth Scout, Biggs, and K2.

Definitely focus on gearing 1 or 2 toons at a time until gear 10 or 11 and then move on. This is KEY to gearing success. Best of luck
