Alternate solution:
Sacrifice the NOW and go for the THEN.
You need to focus on farming characters, waiting for the buffs to happen.
Prime examples:
Mace (will come),
Kylo (already happened),
Zinn (already happened),
Boba (already happened),
Maul (already happened),
Vader (this goes back to BP (before palps)),
Biggs (before wedge),
Another thing is that you won't always farm the right toons.
Instead of chasing the meta, and subsequently always being behind, be the pre-meta and stay ahead.
To start:
Try to unlock every char, so won't be worth it i.e. hard hard node chars (Veers could have a buff coming). Try to g8 every char.
I understand that new characters are released that might be more powerful, but most of the time they work best with already released chars.
