You guys are always such downers. He only needs a few more shards to get Ackbar. Why discourage the guy? Ackbar isn't top-shelf hooch, but so what? He's still useful to a new player, is an effective Vader counter, and can help unlock Big Poppy Palpatine. Y'all been playing too long.

The bottom line is, Ackbar, St Han, Boba, Qui-Gon are all quality heroes and are worth having. Yes, I would prioritize St Han over Ackbar, but constantly switching your focus on shard farming is a sure path to nowheresville. Almost all veteran players agree on this -- until they see someone farming a hero they don't particularly like, then suddenly their advice is to switch up the focus. Consistency, folks! I say make a choice and see it through, at the very least until unlock.

Having gotten that out of the way... Boba recently got reworked, and everybody is all super psyched about it. He went from mediocre to highly effective overnight. Which makes him a featured flavor-of-the-month for many players who ignored him until now (myself included; I'm building him too and plan to Arena him). Chase him now if you want, he will help you a ton in DS, Credit Heist, Cantina, Fleet, and Arena. Lots of use for Boba. Qui-Gon is great too, he is fast, highly effective at removing taunt, a beast in the Pit, and helps you get Yoda.

Great thing about this game is making your own choices and following your interests.

These forums are a lot friendlier that the FIFA ones that's for sure, I'm not goin to waste time farming a character who isn't good end game waste of time, so I will not put another shard into Akbar purposely I have used him on my mates phone and with the allies and he he is good (most prob as he is 85 and I am 40) but as I have wedge as pretty much my main guy at the min I may aswell get Han, Rebels ftw
