Yeah I can place 2nd consistently in arena so saving shards isn't an issue it's just hard to not spend them on energy refreshes, but seeing is there are 120 purple mats in the furnaces it seems like it is way more efficient to save crystals to buy them.
True, but like I noted before - it's pointless to have 2-3 furnaces lying around if you need mk5 stun guns or mk7 security scanner. Leveling up is such a grind after 70lvl, that you can get those 1,4k crystals in few days if you rank high enough. Just use crystals on what's needed atm.
Ashoka has been a life saver too so thanks for that suggestion. Ship Arena is much more competitive for me but I don't mind just shooting for top 10, the benefits of 1-5th place don't seem that much better like they are in normal arena. Crystals are so much more important than ship coins.
Last statement is true. However one doesn't exclude the other and you usualy use at least a few units in both arenas. You can easily get extra 600 tokens ranking in top5 in 2 days, thats 5 stun cuffs, which is roughly worth around 200 crystals (2x 100 crystals refills), with standard 20% drop rate. Most ppl forget that there is smth of equal value in those prizes - ship building materials. You can jump from 112k to 200k, which is a significant boost. I place constantly in top5 or higher and am lacking a crapton of those. W/o them you can forget 3* challenges. When it comes to ship strength it's ship lvl>unit gear>=unit lvl>ship rarity=unit rarity (although higher rarity nets more significant power boost).
Do you plan to 7* Ashoka? TFP seems like a good idea for ships because you can use him later on with an emperor dark side arena team.
Overall, Ahsoka is much more important to 7* first than TFP. She is needed for defence mod challenges and Master Yoda event as well as ship arena (only dispeller). TFP needs other empire units to maximize his potential, but is mich more useful in arena than Ahsoka. He shines with Vader ship, but isn't as good with other casts, but still decent (using his ship, even though he's only 2* now).
Also some people are using extra crystals to 'buy' shoretrooper, think that is a valid strategy?
Can go both ways.. I wouldn't buy those being a f2p user. RB can be decent in that regard as well and probably we'll get ShT in a node before we hit 85lvl. Those that can afford to spend crystals on him in shipments usually have pimped up teams in arena as well, so getting him won't help you win against them. A thing to consider for sure, but I wouldn't go for it. Idk when was ShT introduced, but Dev's wrote in forum (couple of days ago) that they put premium units in nodes roughly 3 months after they were let out.
