This is an INSANELY grindy game, and it's really hard to upkeep my four main squads because my main Phoenix squad was started way before the others, and it's been hard to bring the other squads up to my main without having to use resources on my main to keep up with my growing level. Do you guys have tips? Right now I'm trying to level up four squads: my main Phoenix squad, a clone trooper squad, an empire squad, and a bounty hunter squad, but it's really hard to divide my resources among 20 characters at once, but if I dont they'll fall behind and I'll only have the Phoenix squad as a genuine squad.

Sorry if that was worded terribly!

I didn't play very competitively for like 6-10 months, so my roster was a mess. since then have really focused down on more "meta" viable teams for PvP. If you are playing without spending large sums of money, the best is to focus on a team and work it to a good level for its use. This will vary in the early game, where you are, as the goal is to unlock the better characters, so a team like Phoenix is going to be essentially "done" around g9 or 10, as that is all you need for Palpatine and Thrawn, and the team is not really worth investment later in the game.

Of the other squads you mentioned, i would say BH are a good secondary focus as it will get you through credit heists and some other helpful small events. Focus on you phoenix and get them done first, and then go 1, maybe 2 teams at a time to keep focused on what you are building and progress faster to the next goal.

That's what I was thinking, BH comes up a lot in events. I always knew Phoenix wouldn't last, it's an easy team to build up early game. The problem is, I've backed myself into a corner because now Phoenix is the only squad I can use to defeat enemies in my skill range. Now I'm trying to level up other important characters to build up other squads, but, like I said, it's hard to juggle all the squads at once. And no, I'm not planning to spend a cent on this game. I respect this game for it's crystals. In most mobile games, this crystal equivalent would be substantially harder to get and would force you to spend a ton of money on the game in order to succeed. In this game, you get a healthy amount of crystals just for playing, so I dont see the need to spend money on the game, plus, I want to build myself up legit.

And my BH squad is pretty limited atm, I only have 5 characters I could get to 7 stars without an insane amount of grinding. (Boba Fett, Cad Bane, IG-88, Greedo, and Sam Wesell). It's definitely not the best BH squad one could make, but hopefully it'll do for now.

As you said, it's not the best team, but I do think it will do for now. Bounty Hunters are pretty good in general.
Also on a side note, for things like territory war and Grand arena, I personally uphold the rule that anything below 5 star and gear level 11 is almost useless in these events, but anything at that level or above can be used. (with some exceptions on the star level). Probably a good rule to have for you as well (then again I just entered division 1 with grand arena and have 4,6+ million GP roster so.... take it with a grain of salt)

and I just realized that since you are level 82, you don't even know what grand arena is yet (since you unlock it at lvl 85), making me a bit of an idiot. Apologies for the confusion.

Uh oh, I only have 3 characters at gear lvl 10...

I find it extremely hard to upgrade gear in this game!

Ha, it's okay.

The grind is insane in this game. I just spent almost 8 million gold, (all I had saved up these past few days), to upgrade a few mods and get 5 BH up to lvl 75!

Wait till the point you upgrade a character from lvl 1 to 85 at once. As then you actually get to see that that costs a little under 7 million gold. But that is the nature of the game. Not to mention, as you get higher, you unlocked more and more methods of gaining gold and gear. That does help, thou the game will always have quite the grind. But that's the nature of the game. It wouldn't exactly be any fun to unlock all charters at the max in one week either.

OP, when I started and for prob close to the first year the biggest mistake I made was spreading myself thin with resources and jumping around all over the place with no real focus.

The best thing I’ve done the past couple years was to put a plan together and focus on one team at a time and be doing so with a purpose. I’m going to take “x” squad to “y” level so I can do “z” with them.

You can always work on other things outside that main focus, as long as it doesn’t drastically conflict with it. Shards for a character in a store for instance.

Also, once to hit a certain level your arena team should always be your main focus, especially if you’re FTP as those crystals speed up everything you do and gives you more choices.

That’s just my general approach, you can find specific in a few guides online.
