Another guy lost in the galaxy with his first zeta ;-)

First sorry for my poor english, i'm a french :-)

To start, yes another guy lost with this first zeta and others questions :-)

My roster is here : https://swgoh.gg/u/captracole/

1) I mainly hesitate for zeta between Palpatine or KRU.

But I also have all the heroes at seven stars except Thrawn (i farmed in reverse of all, no phoenix and first order first...)

I'm very confident to unlock CLS this week :-) after R2D2, who will be like a walk in a park as you used to say in states :-)

So why not zeta CLS, new Yoda, R2 crunch number (or keep zetas for GG i will also have 6 stars next week :-))

To help me to choose my priority is fleet :
- because before fleet 2.0 i was always between 15 and 30.
- now i'm 20 - 40 and i want to keep this rank for the 50 purple rewards.

I play of course Tarkin since start for zetas with classic first line biggs, vador, tie pilot.
Reinforcments : FOTP or Bob, and KRU.

So I'm gearing Tarkin, Vador, FOTP for the moment, and KRU after.

For the moment, I am "nerfing" my arena power to limit galactic war difficulty (I will post in one other topic to explain that).

But after in one month, as i'm gearing both empire and FO, i think i will play together palpatine, vador, kru, tarkin, and FOTP or Kylo masked.

--> In this configuration, i think Palpatine lead is better choice with his zeta ?

Or it is preferable to play full empire or full fo ?
--> In this configuration, as i'm playing in young shard (i play since december), must i go for FO or Empire ?
--> A player with very very similar roster to me in my guild play full FO KRU lead and is between 150 - 250.

As I have not the time to play every day just before payout time, i would prefer better defense team.
--> Again Empire or FO ?
I was thinking to FO with maybe second zeta on kylo masked or my queen Barris.
Team like zKRU zylo FOO Zarriss and FOTP gear 12 must be terrible no ?

If i go on empire, on which toon put second zeta ?

If you have other better ideas with CLS, new yoda or others in my first team, i take :-) ?

2) Second question : With my ships, i play good ? I was thinking maybe to replace Vador by KRU in first line to use offense down from Vador as first reinforcement ?

Thanks in advance for your help :-)

And for recent players with galactic power between 600 000 and 1 M, my guild recruit : Arkane Holocron :-)

    First of all, arena rank does NOT directly impact Galactic War difficulty, so do not sacrifice rewards for that. The key to GW is to preload turn meter on multiple teams so when you need to switch to a new team, they have that advantage. Also, getting your zeta on can help there.

    General Grievous is considered one of the most disappointing characters, and there are no sugns he's actually getting a rework anytime soon. I don't think Yoda's rework merits spending a first zeta.

    I could see either of those you mentioned (Palpatine or KRU leadership) being a good first zeta given your teams and either would help you in GW. Although Palp lead is the dominant meta in arena right now. You can also put more gear into your Sion, and that would help your team even at 3*.
  • GW just goes by your top five toons.

    Sion, even at 3* is a major nuisance to opposing teams. So I'd maybe work on him, plus he'll benefit from Palp lead, Kylo won't.

    With regards to ships, assuming you're using Biggs like literally everybody else in the game who slightly knows what they're doing. You'll want Vader out on the field from the get go for target lock spam. Bring KRU in to lay down the hurt once Biggs is tanking. Silencer is a little fragile after all.
  • Hello,

    Thanks for your answers.

    Arena rank doesn't impact galactic war difficulty, but arena power does !!!

    So I put my first Zeta on Palpatine lead and since I'm easy top 500 while i play my poor magma 6k to limit my arena power. I still have 15 galactic war to complete and after I unleash the power replacing magma by my Tie pilot and up Tarkin gear 12.

    I unlocked CLS with Old Ben, Han, Luke gear8, and Leia + R2 gear9.
    Only 3 tries. Key was for me good mods and speed --> Thanks to this forum :-)

    I will have my second zeta next week.
    I think i will put it on KRU to try to stole third place on haat in my guild.

    Or as I'm blocked on 9A light level, put it on CLS IBAT or R2D2 crunch number, yoda, other light toon ?

    For rancor, it's not easy but i can solo now phase 1, 2, 3 and also be 3 :-)

    I always play fleet and I'm now easy 25 - 30.
    Big change after biggs and FOTP shuttle 7*.
    I'm now on TIE Pilote last star and geonosians to get last star on executrix.
    As vador shuttle is too long to farm...

    Arena power doesn't affect GW either...it's power of your top five characters.

    Do yourself a favor and farm that ship. It's only 20 purchases from fleet store to unlock it, and you can also farm shards from the ships table. You've already got a good Vader, and his ship is really good too.
  • Arena power does NOT matter for galactic war. What matters is the combined power of your 5 most powerful characters, whether you use them in arena or not. So I’d make sure your best characters with synergy are in arena.

    Vader’s TIE Advanced does take a long time to farm, but it’s very worthwhile to do so. Don’t ignore it just because it’s hard to get.

    I’d only put zetas on characters you plan to get to gear 12. A zeta is an investment in a character, so make sure the character is worth it. I’ve also been following advice to first zeta out my arena team and then work on other characters.

    Congrats on unlocking Luke!
  • Hi again, there was misunderstood.

    Of course i farm tie advanced in fleet store and fleet battle. I just also farmed geonosian soldier to unlock zeta challenge more fast without waiting vador tie. And it worked :-) my geo soldier came to 5 and then 6 stars with also sun fac for executrix 7 before vador tie came to 6 :-). But i farm vador battle every day.

    Now there is the day of third zeta. I think i will go with cls ibat. Just a little precision : when he gains tm after applied buff, it is 10% for each buff (20% on his special) or just 10% per turn, of course if he succeed his buff(s) apply ???

    Thanks in advance for answer of those we know please not suppose like me.
