New casual player need direction

Focus on rebels and scoundrels. Storm trooper han and Lando will double you up nicely. Just focus on them until you can beat the last tier of the credit heist with the scoundrels. Focus on wedge and biggs for the rest of your rebels. Bobba fet is nice and you should be able to use him for anything down the road.

Just go that route and you'll set yourself up with ~two teams for raids in a guild and be able to get somewhere decent in the arena

Sound advice, thank you all. One more question though. Are ally points worth saving up or spending now?

I'm the same mate started not long ago, was mis informed at first but now farming lando from the cantina battle and Han from the shipments I was lucky enough to get wedge in a pack, also goin for boba.

Spend your ally points. Keep maybe 5K in reserve at all times just for a couple refreshes on a tournament to rank in the top 1,000.

The bronzium packs can give you a lot of shards for some useful characters early on (particularly Royal Guard and Jedi Consular).

Phasma isn't a strong PvP character, but she is useful in PvE. Boba is a great farm from Cantina shipments. Qui-Gon is another character that is super strong in all parts of the game that you could farm after Boba is done (and hey, c'mon, it's Liam ****ing Nieson).

Kylo Ren isn't super strong, but if you like him, farm him :)

A couple easy beginner tips:
1. Farm the Royal Guard hard node EVERY DAY (LS Hard 1-4); once you unlock DS 5-4 Hard, farm that as well. These will cover your 5 hard battles and 3 LS/DS battles every day while farming a super useful character

2. Use crystals on refreshes ONLY. Cantina refreshes first, then regular energy if you can afford it. Cantina first so that you get more cantina shipments, hence maxing Boba/Qui-Gon quicker (and whatever character node you choose to farm)

3. Only focus on 6-10 characters until level 60, then focus on your top 5. Chewie and Consular can carry you until about level 50 when your other characters become better.

4.Do Galactic War EVERY DAY once it unlocks. If you didn't already know, you can retreat from a battle and try again if it goes badly.

Best of luck!

Run while you still can

Glad I spent some allied points I did manage to get biggs and poe through it so thats a plus. 25% to getting lando and boba and halfway with st han. One last question would be when would be a good time to stop farming these characters shards and gear? 7*? or lower? along with appropriate gear level?

In lower shards you can hit character winning tanks with a far lower investment than at 80+ I picked up everybody except Chirrut (who I stupidly, in hindsight, didn't try for). So it's worth saving AP. You'll need about 150k to all but guarantee top 10.

Don't buy them from GW, it's far better to farm chars there, but you don't have to buy bronziums.
