Hello, first of all - link on my collection:https://swgoh.gg/u/metlazhizni/For some strange reason when I started I decieded that Phoenix team sucks, and instead build Nightsisters Sauad (you know, because they are fancy girls in red dresses). So now i’m lvl 58 and not sure what to do with:Arena sqad:I’ve managed to get in 100-200, but what to go higher. I’m ok with spending some cash, so i’m thinking about buying some crystals and star buying Mother Telzin from shipments to get her to 3-4 stars and replace Talia (everyone here says she sucks, althought I love her utilites on constant healing and saving Old Daka on though spots). But maybe I should spend crystals on Zombie instead? Or replace NS Acolyte (right after i’ve collected 100 shards for 7* :-))Upcoming ship arena:I’m farming Jedi Consul right now, as i’ve heard he is a steady choice, also I can pull GW each day, so was buying some Biggs shards and Resistance pilot. And I have 5* Vader, heard he is good there. But really I have no idea how to prepare for fleet arena:)Mods:My mods are terrible, but there’s a reason for it: because of this strange think in mods shop right now, I’ve stopped spending any cash on anything, but buying 4+dots speed arrows, or 5 dots golden mods with speed secondary. Is this a good idea?Scoundrels:I made a mistake here too, so I can’t pull tier2 credit heist. Farming boba from hard nodes right now, but also need an advice:)Thank you for any advices you can give, including “Focus Phoenix@:))

Well the good news is those mods will serve you well for a good while.As for squad arena - I'm guessing you're in a newer shard - NS built properly can go all the way up. 5 of the top 10 in my shard are NS teams. You're gonna need Talzin and the Zombie though. And NS is definitely not F2P friendly.Fleet - JC is ok, vader is good but you need his ship which can be hard to come by early. When you unlock fleet at 60 you're pretty much limited to using what you have. Probably JC, Clone sergeant, geno, tie, resistance pilot.

Hey there, lvl 64, and managed to achieve rank1 today in fleet arena (but it was with careful time management, have only 47k fleet power, when some people have 60k+).Bought 5 speed arrows and started to spend credits on heroes (dropped to arena rank 200-500).Question about cantina - I’ve got Kylo and his ship to 4*, and now farming Tie pilot (55 shards to 4* looks better than 65* on Kylo). Is it a good decision or should I focus on Kylo? Also my JC is 5*, should I farm hard nodes to get him to 7* or this is a bad investment?And last one- what should I do with guild currency? Got 6k but don’t know what to do with it.Thanks!

I'd split between TFP and KRU. Unless you mean Kylo and his command shuttle, in which case I'd just stick with TFP.

Yeah it’s unmasked Kylo. Also there is an offer Masked Kylo with shuttle and crew for 50$. Worth it? Another options are Bobba+ship and Kasiian with U-wing and crew.

As F2P I wouldn't buy any of those - but if you're inclined to spend, Boba is a safe bet.

58lvl, no Phoenix, lots of questions)

Yeah, because of fast leveling and buying mods I couldn’t keep up my Top 5 lvled, because i didn’t get enought creds. And until that I could complete GW every day, and now not. No GW - no credits, so now it’s even harder to catch up)

Lakson, thanks for insight, i’ll consider bying shuttle, but i’m risking to get into weapon race: top 3 fleets of my shard already spent 100-150$ on buying ships:(

Also new problem: i’m bying 3x cantina and 3x energy refreshers per day, so now lvl 66, and I can’t complete GW: the opponents became lvl 70+, and I don’t have enought credits to keep up my NS team. And that’s really awful, because almost all the creds I get I revive from GW. Maybe lvling so fast was a bad idea?

Glanced at your swgoh and found the issue: mods. Drop everything and focus on getting good mods. For now you can start with just getting 30 5star mods, and just because you will move these to your fleet pilots eventually. Good mods are what make top 100 players. You should read on what quality mods are, my boss is glancing at me his threat metter is slowly filling up as he realises I am getting paid to write guides.
NS can clear GW on auto as soon as you get those mods. If you lack the creds to do so, buying a cred pack is more worth for you than the shuttle. Without mods your ships will suffer as well.
Getting KRU ship is enough to place you in top 20. I am a f2p, got no shuttle and I can take rank 1, if bad RNG then top 5 at least. If you are not a spender and 40$ is a big amount, like it was for me, then simply dont. You can still be on the top, just going to need a bit more time for it.
My fleet roster is KRU, Ghost/phantom, wiggs/vader, with slave/TIE/whatever as backup. All f2p, Just focus on getting KRU. And even more importantly, get quality mods. I understand the credit crunch is real, but you just have to go trough it, I did too. We all do really.

Actually this is a great advice: I have 5 5-dot speed arrows, and some other 5-dots, so i’ll try to upgrade them. So many ways to spend credits: lvls, stars, mods, just struggling to right one)

For fleer arena I’m in top 5, and trying to make my best to stay there)

and the beauty (at least for pilots) is that stats on said mods are irrelevant - get some 5*, level em to 15 and win!

While it’s true that ships benefit from any 5* mods leveled to max regardless of skills increased, the cost of half a million credits to level each one is significant. In order to preserve credits, I would only upgrade mods with speed on them at level 1. I’m at a point now where I won’t upgrade a mod to max unless it has at least 10 speed on it. It’s good to remember that leveling mods to 12 reveals their final secondary stats and is less expensive than leveling a mod from 12 to 15.

Also a very good point.

Hey there, want to thank you for the mods advice: i’ve modded up my NS team, and problem with GW resolves, also returned to 100-200 arena rank.
Moreover, managed to steal rank 1 in fleet battles, spending 50 crystals for refresh.

And, as usual new questions:
For fleet arena I have a solid team of 5 ships (KRU, Biggs, JC, TIE and FOTIE) investing mainly in KRU and Biggs. But my backup isn’t so good. I’ve stocked up 12k of guild currency, so can start building FOSFTIE is it a good or bad choice for guild currency? Also maybe some advice of what ships to farm? Even thinking on farming Phoenix with ships, as they can be useful to get Trawn/Palp.
Getting all the Vader ship shards but they are extremely rare) also bying Bobba ship shards from time to time, because i will be upgrading him for credit heist.

And for Mother Talzin- is she viable in end-game? Getting her even to 4* would be 6400 crystals, that’s really huge. Worth it? Any chance she could be F2P farmable in near future?

I love FOSFTie. Basic has TL on crit, AoE with TM removal, and also special that does ability block while gaining TM and calling ally AND ignores protection.

Plus pilot and ship come from guild currency so don't really interfere with farms
