Adaptive F2P Guide 2.0
This is the second iteration of Adaptive f2p guide. We created previous one, because all other were outdated and since @Raw stopped playing it’s time to refresh it a bit. You can find original one her...

Thank you so much for this guide! It has been making this game much more enjoyable and given much guidance, even though I ask so many questions :smile:
Here is some feedback. I am currently level 78 and in the top 20 or 10 in arena and fleet.
1. I would add a suggestion for starting a new account. Explain the hording phase if desired to get a head start at the beginning. Play the game up to level 27 then don't get any XP but save all the cantina and normal energy. Suggestion is to save enough energy so that you can jump from level 27 to 40 on your first couple of days. This will let you start the Galatic War. This is how I started and it put me at the top 5 arena spots for at least a couple months. Those extra crystals are extremely useful for getting the suggested three cantina and normal energy refreshes each day.
2. Cantina Nodes: I was not able to get Lando to 5* and TFP to 4* before lvl 69 when I started to get Wedge. I also only put about a couple days of cantina energy into mods (I also unlocked almost all the mod battles which I shouldn't have spent the energy to do at the time). I think I missed only one round of credit heist tier III. After Wedge was 7* then I spent more energy on Health Mods then got Lando to 5*. I am just now working on TFP and have him only at 3* but plan to get him to 7* for Empire team (he has been on my fleet but just really weak, mainly use him to try and get target lock at the beginning of the fight)
3. Cantina Store: Followed your order except I haven't worked on Hoth Rebel Soldier because I am doing Stroomtrooper right now for Empire team for R2 event.
4. Squad arena store: I changed this a little because squad arena tokens are harder to get. As I said, I was in top 5 for two months and still seems to be short on arena tokens. So I went 7* Kanan then 7* STH. Since I needed another character for credit heist, I didn't get IG-88 (didn't want to spend the valuable arena credits on him) instead I got Cad Bane from the GW store.I am now in the spot of choosing between AA, Leia, and Tarkin. I use AA in fleet but probably will switch to Tarkin because I am going to 7* Tarkin for my Empire team for R2 (I wish I knew this earlier because I spend valuable fleet upgrade credits on AA's ship). Then maybe Leia for CLS.
5. GW store: followed your advise but added Cad Bane to 5* for credit heist. Right now I am contemplating getting Magmatrooper to 7* just in case I can't get Vader to 7* but really don't know if I should.
6. Fleet store: followed your advise here but decided not to get Scimitar ship shards (after i got about 40) because I didn't want to put more resources toward getting Darth Maul. I unlocked Bobba ship but still need more Vader ship shards. I would emphasize that you need to get Vader shards because at the beginning I didn't get them because I thought you could get most of them through achievements but now it doesn't look like I can 7* him for the R2 event.
7. Guild Store: This has been a hard one to get the characters to the level you mention. I still only have Old Ben at 4* and Luke at 5*. Rex is at 6* and I have also been getting his shards from the fleet store. He is my arena leader so I need him 7* but it is taking forever for the shards to show up. I have not unlocked Darth Maul, partly because I am not getting his ship and partly because I need gear for my arena team.
8. Hard nodes: followed your advise. Unlocked JC at 7* with only hard nodes but took forever. I always get FOST and HRS. I have FOST at 6* right now. I just upgraded HRS to 5* (he will take forever to get to 7* with one hard node).
9. Guild event store: I have never bought anything from here. Just saving until I know what I want to do. Currently have 12.5k
So I kept top 5 in arena with pheonix for a couple months. I struggled to decide when to transition into my Rex, Wiggs, Bobba, STH team. Arena started to become much more difficult to stay at the top soon after all my pheonix were 7* because others soon after were also 7* their pheonix. When I couldn't get into top 5 and it was difficult to be top 10 (because there were so many pheonix teams and pheonix vs pheonix is a pain...race against the clock) I decided to switch arena teams. I fell to the top 20 but then eventually got back to top 10 with the Rex team (much easier to kill pheonix teams now).
Also, I think I was having a hard time staying at the top with my pheonix team because I couldn't gear them as fast as others once I hit the point they all needed tons of Mk 5 Stun Guns. I was preparing my Rex team instead of putting all resources into gearing my pheonix team more.
I haven't even thought about First Order or Resistance. Focusing on Empire team now.
