@Naraic @ManuG @Azeotrope @BiigsBob @Kai_Mulai @T4NM4N26 and many others contributing to this thread, I want to ask your opinion on 3 things:

I updated guide a few times - please reread it and see if it's better or worse?

What would you add or substract from current iteration on this guide?

On last page I posted an extensive question about KRU and FOSFTP, adding my opinion and pros/cons of it. I would appreciate your feedback before I make a change to this guide.

Any input is appreciated :)

Just wow, one day away and I have a lot of comments to read haha

First of all, thanks so much @wawrzon for this incredible guide.

Secondly, today I'm level 60 and have reached one month playing this game and here are some thoughts about the game and the guide according to my first month experience:

1. I agree with many of you and also with the guide, Phoenix are the best starter squad for a f2p. They just have many advantages or at least is what I think: They got me in rank #1-20 without any problems daily, I got Thrawn 5* easily in the second week and my galactic wars are autoed 100% of the times without losing any member or even the protection bar!

2. As @Naraic has mentioned, with the rework of Vader/EP, I'm also considering to change my phoenix arena squad to an Empire squad like EP (L), Vader, Thrawn, FTP, Tarkin and see how it works against NS/Nix squads which are the 95% of my arena shard, the 5% left is classic rebel squads with Wiggs and so which surprinsingly are in the top 10 (whales).

3. I can't talk too much about ships because I just unlocked them and I have only 5 ones plus the 3 commander ships. I think I have said this in another thread but here it is again: if you have followed the phoenix route, you are supposed to start with a fleet squad like: Tarkin fleet (L), Spirit + Ghost II + 3 more ships which I think they should be: Biggs ship + TFP ship + Vader/Boba ship.

The reasons of those five starter ships are the following ones:

- Tarkin leader ship because he is the second best ship commander before Thrawn ship plus you may use Tarkin for R2 event.
- Ghost II + Spirit don't need an explication I think, they will be your best ships at the beginning if you have followed the phoenix route.
- Biggs ship because you will eventually use Wiggs in arena and Biggs ship is considered one of the best ships in the game.
- TFP ship because it is also one of the best ship in the game, it is dark side and you will use TFP in your empire team for R2.
- Vader/Boba ships, these ones are the hardest to get (80 shards) but I think they are worth it because of the dark side (Challenges) and because they are heroes you will want to have well-geared eventually. Boba for the credit heist event and Vader who have been reworked for R2 event.

4. Questions about crystals spending? The answer is refresh, refresh and refresh! Don't waste your valuable crystals from squad arena or fleet arena in random packs.

Regarding the farming schedules I will write only what I think it should be changed:

1. Cantina: Hera and Ezra 5* then: push them to 6-7* if Thrawn event is near. If Thrawn event is not near, I would recommend to let Hera and Ezra 5* and spend 1-2 weeks farming 5* health mods. They were the key for my Thrawn 5* and to maintain my rank in arena. After farming the 5* mods, I would say you have two options: farm Lando 4* for credit heist event ONLY if you are doing well in arena, if not push Hera/Ezra to 7*. After this, Lando to 5*, TFP 4-5* for fleet arena, push him a bit more if R2 event is near. Finally at level 69, go for Wedge.

2. Cantina store: Chopper 7*, Boba 7*, Stormtrooper 5-7* (very useful and can replace RG in R2 event), then choose between Ashoka/Fives/HRS/Poe.

3. Squad Arena store: Kannan 7*, STH 3-4* (just for credit event if you already have OB/Baze as rebel tank) if not, push him to 7*, Tarkin 5-7* (fleet commander plus R2 event), Leia 7* (a killing machine) then choose whatever you want.

4. GW store: I agree with all except with the idea of farming Zeb 5* then change to Biggs 4*. Zeb 7* straight away, he will be your fastest hero to farm to 7* plus the sooner you get him 7* the sooner you can participate in heroic raids. If you change to Biggs you are just wasting time and believe me, I had Zeb 7* in level 56, you can have Biggs 4* before 60ish level without any change.

5. Hard nodes: Honestly I think this is a personal choice, I have farmed first Sabine 2* just to unlock Ghost II and then I started to farm Boba from this place since I'm already farming Chopper to 7* from cantina store.

6. Guild event store: Cannot say that much, I think it's a good boost for your phoenix farming if you haven't max starred them yet (For instance, Ezra/Hera who share farming place, you have Ezra 7* but Hera is 50/100). If you already have them 7*, I would say classic rebels like Wedge/Leia/STH or ships (I don't know if you can find ships in this store sorry).

I don't know what more to say or add right now. This is just my opinion from a month playing (it's better to say grinding xD) this amazing game following your guide. The best advice I can give to a newbie is to make sure your long term goals, keep focused on them and make the grind of heroes/gear according to the upcoming events. Once again, thanks a lot for all the information this guide provides @wawrzon
