Hit level 20 today,Really wishing I would have started sooner with this. I'm a big Star Wars fan and love how this game is working so far besides the obvious major grinding it will take without putting money into it.I'm not secure enough financially to start putting money into this, even if it was just a few bucks every once in awhile. I can assure you it would quickly become an addiction. LolSorry for my ranting and probably one of the many people asking for tips but the battlefront forums are usually nice when questions are asked.So here's a list I have of some questions feel free to add anything else.1. What should I focus my crystals on the most?2. Best way to aquire toons? (Besides forking over $)3. Best toons to go after? 4. Any way to build up energy to keep grinding without worry? Thanks in advance eveyone.

There is a section in these forums devoted to player guides, I don't know how useful it is but just try searching or asking for tips there if you cant figure something out https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/categories/guidesHowever I have a suggestion that you may want to try. I find buying the normal energy twice or three times a day really helps gain player level experience, if you decide to do so I would also suggest using that energy to simulate hard battles for the shards of whichever character your interested in

- don't spend money- Play only for fun - farm toons you want/like, then go from there, any toon could become better or worse. - try not to have high expectations, just take things as they are.- be patient, this games progression is meant to be viewed on a much larger scale than just day by day.- try not to get caught up in the "meta"- take breaks- laugh at the flaws/bugs/mess-ups, and move on instead of trying to critique a work in progress- don't spend money

Possible nerfs, or something like a new mechanic could negatively affect a particular characters abilities.

For example, read up on protection. That was a big update that affected alot of individual toons for better or worse.

Thanks though!

So what should I put my crystals toward? Or do I save as much as possible.

I spent 74 crystals or however much it was on Tier 3 training droids. Is that a bad thing?

Do I target toon shards or save up crystals for larger packs?

You find a character that is awesome. Maybe their special has a glitch, or maybe they are just too powerful. So, to "balance" things out... You're favorite toon (that you invested time and resources in) is only part now.

But you farmed up and geared Lando because you like Colt 45 and mustaches; months later he's awesome and everyone else is chasing him.

All characters are subject to changes.

Okay thank you, Colt 45 and mustaches can be pretty awesome. But what's the best way to obtain your favorite toons? Buying toon shards or large packs with crystals or are there any other ways?
