Adaptive FTP Guide (to be reconstructed)
Several ppl messaged me because the guide has vanished: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/86926/adaptive-f2p-guide/ I hope @CG_Kozispoon can get it back.
Forum Discussion
Here is a copy:
This guide is thought to be for new accounts. We start with rebels because those have multiple purposes, e.g. Lando and STH are scoundrels you need for events, Wedge, Biggs and Ackbar are good pilots, and all together will master the Palpatine event. Furthermore if you follow this guide, you get the pilots and ships for the zeta mat challenge, Jedi for the Yoda event and to unlock 5*-mods in the mod store. You will also get EP, Vader, TFP, RG and Tarkin who will open the doors to the R2D2 event. Both your arena squad and fleet will profit from synergies.
-1) You may want to manipulate your time zone so you have your collection/fighting time at more convenient hours. See below when these hours are.
0) After you start a new account, pull a chromium pack for 350 crystals.
Optional:
There are different spots to farm your toons:
Hard nodes, Cantina nodes, Cantina Store, SquadArena Store, Galactic War (GW) store, Guild Store, Fleet Arena Store (lvl 60).
1) Farm Lando in cantina 1-E
2) Farm Boba Fett in cantina store to 7*
3) Farm STH in the Squad Arena Store to 7*
4) Farm Biggs in GW store to 7*
5) Farm Jedi Consular (7* but no haste) and Chewie (4* is minimum, 5* recommended, because of crit mod challenge) from hard nodes. Optional: Royal Guard/First Order TIE Pilot (FOTP, lvl54 req). But gear is more important than shards generally speaking.
This leads to your Arena team of Lando (Lead), Biggs, STH, Boba Fett, JC
Always keep level, abilities and most important gear of your arena team to maximum!
6) In Guild store farm Rex (req. lvl 60, as an alternative lead against debuffing teams) and alternativel Sun Fac or Darth Maul (5 dark side ships+pilots are needed for the Zeta mat challenge later), see details in point (13). Farm IGD (Ima-Gun Di) to 5* for for the Defense Mod Challenge (to unlock 5-dot-mods) . Before lvl60 you can save tokens or buy prototype mats. Farm Luke Skywalker (Farmboy) for the Commander Luke Skywalker (CLS) event (time this with the other toons needed for the event, see below).
7) Farm Princess Leia in Squad Arena Store after STH is 7*.
Also farm IG-88 so that you have him ready at lvl 70. IG-88 5* would also be sufficient. This gives you a Team for the Credit Heist event of Lando, STH, Boba, Chewie, and IG-88 at lvl 70.
Farm Mace Windu 5* after IG88 5* for the Defense Mod Challenge (to unlock 5-dot-mods).
Farm Tarkin (GMT) as your Fleet Commander, for the Rancor raid and for the R2D2 event (see below).
8) After Lando ist 7*, farm Kylo Ren in cantina 4-C and also gear him (as a fighter against Dooku that provides stun and healing immunity).
Farm TIE fighter pilot (TFP) in cantina 4-B to about 5* (dark side pilot). Continue to 7* later for the rancor raid and events that require empire such as R2D2.
At level 69 farm Wedge Antilles from Cantina 6-F.
Not before you have a reasonable mod situation, farm Old Ben for the Commander Luke Skywalker (CLS) event (time this with the other toons needed for the event, see below).
9) Farm 5-dot-health-Mods as soon as you manage tier III of the health mod challenge.
You should use half your cantina energy on mods and the other half on char shards now.
10) Farm ship plans in GW store for Biggs', FOTP, TFP, Ahsoka's, Sun Fac's (optional), JC's, Umbaran Starfigher (Fives' ship) after Biggs is at 7* and you achieve lvl 60. TFP, FOTP and Umbaran appear not as often as the other plans, so prioritize these. Farming ship plans until your fleet arena team is all 7* will grant you access to a lot of mats (zeta) and shards (Wedge and all the other pilots). If Biggs is 7* before you are lvl60, safe the tokens.
11) Farm Wedge (char shards), Slave I, TIE advanced x1 and Chirrut ÃŽmwe in Fleet store. If Vader shards occur in fleet store, also buy them (stop at about 6* 40/100 until you have the shards for rewards). Level all ships equally so you have them at 3 stars each on lvl68. You will need this for the challenge which rewards you a 2nd reinforcement place, so you can use 7 ships.
12)
* Farm QGJ from Cantina Store (after Ahsoka). This will give you a 5-Jedi-Team: IGD (L) JC Ahsoka QGJ Windu. Do the defense mod challenge as soon as all are 5*.
* Farm Fives from Cantina Store (after QGJ)
13) One of the following:
* Darth Maul (Guild store, Fleet store) and his Scimitar (Fleet store). Very good reinforcement pilot, can be a game changer but is also countered by Fives/Ahsoka.
* Sun Fac (Guild store, Fleet store) and his ship (GW store). Very good tank but costs a lot of gear. Fast farm DS ship, also very useful as a tank (ship).
14) If you have a good rank, spare crystals can be used to buy Baze shards (50 shards x 50 crystals = 2500 needed for a 3* Baze). This would lead to the Chaze combo (Baze+Chirrut).
**Short summary:**
*Pre-Level 60*
* Hard mode nodes: JC 5*, Chewie 5*, if you have energy left also RG, FOTP
* Cantina nodes: Lando 7*, 5-dot Health Mod and/or Kylo, TFP
* Cantina store: Boba 7*
* Arena store: STH 7*
* GW store: Biggs 7* (save the rest)
* Guild store: IGD (save the rest)
*Post-Level 60*
* Hard mode nodes: JC 7*, FOTP, RG
* Cantina nodes: Wedge 7*, TFP 7*, Old Ben
* Cantina store: Ahsoka 7*, QGJ 7*, Fives 7*
* Arena store: Ackbar 7*, IG-88 5*, Windu, Tarkin, Chief Nebit
* GW store: Ship Plans: Biggs/Wedge/JC/FOTP/Ahsoka/TFP/Fives Umbaran, Sun Fac (optional)
* Guild store: Rex, JE (optional Darth Maul, Sun Fac, depending on you dark side ships)
* Fleet store: Wedge/TIE advanced x1/Slave 1/Vader (optional Scimitar, Sun Fac)
**Additional Hints*
* Think twice if you start with a different time zone.
* Collecting/Refreshing hours are: 0 h (all activities reset, Arena and GW store refresh, shipments, new challenges), 6h (shipments, GW store refresh, Arena store refresh), 12h (free energy, free cantina energy, all shops refresh, shipments), 18h (collect arena reward, free energy, new shipments, guild + fleet + arena store refresh), 19h (collect fleet arena reward), 21h (collect free energy, guild + fleet store refresh)
* Spend crystals on cantina and energy refreshes, each 2x a day is good (300 crystals needed).
* For a first good rank in arena and fleet arena, use also crystals to refresh. Get a pole position.
* No further chromiums needed but the first ;-)
* Aim to have 5 Rebels at 7* for Palpatine Event. https://swgoh.gg/db/events/emperors-demise/
* Aim to have 5 Jedi at 5* for the Def Mod challenge. Tier II will allow you to buy 5-dot-mods in the mod shipments, Tier III will increase the chance for 5-dot-mods in the shipments.
* Aim to have 5 Empire toons at 7* for the R2D2 event (EP Vader RG Tarkin TFP).
* Aim to have Leia, Luke Skywalker (Farmboy), Old Ben, STH and R2D2 at 7* for the CLS event https://swgoh.gg/db/events/luke-skywalker-heros-journey/
* optional: aim to 5 Jedi at 7* for the Grand Master's Training Event. https://swgoh.gg/db/events/grand-masters-training/ (Yoda is not really needed)
* Aim to get Critical Damage Mods: after all other priority characters have been farmed from these locations, farm Chief Nebit from the Arena Store; Dathcha from the Galactic War Store; Jawa Scavenger from the Cantina Store; Jawa Engineer from the Guild Store; and Jawa from hard/cantina nodes. Improve these characters to 5*, level 60-65, g7 and complete Tier III of the Criticial Damage Mod Challenge.
* Aim to get Speed mods (soon after lvl85): Finn (also good for the hAAT raid with zeta), Poe, Rey, RT, R2D2)
* After lvl85, aim to get Thrawn: Farm Hera, Chopper, Zeb, Ezra, Kanan (for 7* about g8-g9)
**Zeta Challenge:** (hard, probably need lvl 80+ but start preparing earlier), aim for 5 dark side ships:
* TFP, FOTP, Slave1, TIEx1 and Scimitar/SF
* Aim for 8x 5* ships (Biggs, Wedge, JC, Ahsoka, TFP, FOTP, Slave 1, TIEx1, optional Scimitar/Sun Fac)
* The starting characters not mentioned in this guide (e.g. Talia) may be needed for the challenges and nodes, but should be kept as low as possible and be replaced as soon as possible. Level 50 and gear V would certainly be enough.
**Guild **
* Enter a good guild early. 30k raid tickets a day are maximum, if you guild does not reach at least 25k you should change it. If you get the chance to enter a heroic AAT guild, do it. Look at the guild activities and plan your resource spending accordingly.
* Look at your guild activities and prepare yourself. Always provide 600 tickets. 540 are given by free energy (120 cantina energy refill + 45 bonus, 240 energy refill + 3x45 bonus). For more you need to invest at least 50 crystals.
* There are some tricks, e.g. the next day will be "galactic war", you just start the first GW fight and retreat (via settings button). That gives you the daily challenge, but saves the GW for the next day. By this, you can collect 36 GW knots as guild activities.
**Endgame Teams**
See https://swgoh.gg/meta-report/#squads for the current meta
A good endgame team is Rex (L) DN (4*), Chirrut, Baze, GK. If you aim for that:
* At about lvl80 start to buy Baze shards with crystals.
* Buy every Chirrut Shards in fleet store.
* Save all shard shop tokens for DN.
* Look out for a hAAT guild.
* Farm Baze in hard nodes.
* Save gear for GK in advance, look at the gear list at https://swgoh.gg/characters/general-kenobi/gear-list/
**How to mod your arena team:**
*Stormtrooper Han*
You want your STH to go first with his special "draw fire". This fills the other players turn meter (up to 30%).
Also when he gets damaged, the others get (up to 20%) turnmeter. Although he is a tank, you need to give him a speed primary arrow mod (receiver). Protection on circle (databus) and cross (multiplexer) but with a speed secondary. The triangle (holo-matrix) can also be protection primary with a speed secondary.
*Boba Fett*
Boba can ability block the other players, even STH. He should also be very fast. At level 78, omega the "death from above" ability, so if you are faster than the enemy's STH, you can block him. So he also gets a speed primary arrow. He can use a potency cross, so his ability block will come through against the other team's tenacity. Boba will be revived with a percentage of his health (up to 100%), so give him some health secondaries. The triangle can be crit dmg primary. Boba Zett (zeta boba) also can use high protection.
*Lando Calrissian*
Lando needs high crit chance over all, and a crit dmg primary triangle. If you can farm cc (crit chance) mod sets, that would be great. Protection primary on the cross and circle. Speed or Protection primary on the arrow are both possible.
*Biggs Darklighter*
Biggs needs to be very fast. He also gets a huge speed up by Wedge's unique, so that you can maybe oneshot a squishy (especially in lower levels) with the "Wiggs" attack. He also needs a speed primary arrow. Protection primary on circle and cross. Speed secondaries are even more important, but also cc secondaries are very good here.
*Wedge Antilles*
Wedge is often the target no. 1 for your enemy. I prefer mine to be well protected. As long as Biggs can call him with his assist (omega gives Biggs -1 cooldown), he has his greatest value. So give him cc mod sets, a cd (crit dmg) triangle and protection on circle, cross, and maybe even arrow (others say also speed, but I like protection more).
