Adaptive F2P Guide

I did mention that he's viable if you have powerful units behind him, but they need to be leveled and geared up. Being a f2p user you barely scrape the bottom of the barrel when it comes to credits. I have only my arena team leveled up. You just can't do 10 things simultanously, it's better to focus on 2-3 max.
You already mentioned that it's best to have Palp, Vader, Boba, TFP first - to get Palp you need 5x 7* rebels (I recently got 5th). Vader shards are rare in fleet arena. TFP can be only farmed after Wedge is finished. To add insult to injury you need to gear and level them up + omega their skills.
Getting ShT at around 73rd lvl as Deingesicht mentioned is counterproductive since he won't get any value out of him now.
It can be significantly sped up if you're iOS user and got a starter Wedge.
On a side note - Emperor event is rare, last time in december, now in march. Although your comments are right I fail to see much relevance to a starter guide, relying on rare and hard upgrade units like Palp or Vader. That is not what a starting player should aim for. Undergeared Empire team looses to a geared rebel team.

Of course you swap them in when they are geared and competitve, first Palp and Vader for STH and Lando. Emperor event is closer then you might think (and it's every two months now), I hoarded Mk 3 Thermals and Mk 5 Loronars two weeks before it started. Easy to farm, and Palp actually is overall easy to gear, Vader and TFP as well. Tanks are all hard to gear, Shore makes no exception. I never said to "have them first", on the contrary I said this will be the necessary next step after Wiggs.

Edit: Doitsuyama- you started playing in July and have the right to your opinions and they're probably right from your perspective. We here started in december (or later on) - we can't or at least shouldn't skip any steps in gearing up multiple units. Guide is focused on maintaining at least a top5 daily arena rank to maximize crystal gain. I already lost far too many crystals going with QGJ and Phasma instead of Boba/Biggs in the begining. I won't make that mistake again. Peace out.

The account my guide is based on (and which uses Shore) started end of September, the Palp event which started the transformation of the shard (not just my team) was three months later. It's actually similar to your situation which is why I wrote that.
You mention the "mistake" of going too far for QGJ/Phasma before heading to your target squad of Boba/Biggs. Staying too long on this route before heading to the advanced lineup of Palp/Vader actually would be making the mistake again. I am just giving a fair warning - I geared Wiggs to gear 10 before stopping work on them, my STH still is gear 9.
