Are you farming pheonix or seperatists

Now that I have 7* thrawn and palp mixed with the Vader buff I am stoked that I went phoenix. I have decent light side and dark side teams for a noob.

Yes it only appears at level 60, but the fact remains that you can farm the geo pilots very early (except Sun Fac) and get them geared to G8 by the time you get to 60. The soldier ship is given to you, so no problem with that; the spy ship takes only 25 shards to unlock, so you'll get him first week. It'll take two more weeks to get Sun Fac. But during that first week, unless you're very lucky, all you'll be doing is climbing through stupidly weak lineups to the top 50.

Besides, I don't recall being able to farm Phoenix ships before 60. To be honest, phoenix ships are actually a longer farm than geos by far (the difference being at least a month, I tested it, Phoenix ships don't even appear at GW store, which is the easiest place to farm ships).

Also, the ship button appears at level 20-30; while the ship nodes appear at 60. Nothing to do with 40 at all, 40's where you unlock GW. Zetas appear at level 81. For one who just created two new accounts three months ago, I'm very sure about what I'm talking about.

When it comes to early ships, my #1 suggestion is KYLU KYLU KYLU.

Unlike every single other ship in the game, Kylo-U + Silencer are available BEFORE L60.

So having Kylo as your 3rd farm from Cantina energy after Ezra/Kera is really important IMHO.

Getting him to 4* at least by 60 gives you a huge advantage for early fleet.


Now, aside from Silencer, first ships is up for debate, as long as its a focus on DarkSide.

Gotta go Exec & 5 DS ships initially to get Zetas


I started before Brood Alpha was released so I didn't go GEOs but I could see why people would these days for sure.

I went Silencer, Vader, Boba, Imp TIE, & FO TIE.
Mostly because I had an Empire team & Imp TIE became my 5th for R2D2.

But I would gladly trade in those TIEs for a pair of GEOs if I was starting a new acct today.


My suggestion for farming ships is to work on 2 DS ships first with GW Coins & then follow w/ Biggs.

Fleet Currency I would put towards the purchases to start (TIE-Advanced, Slave-1, Sun Fac, Sun Fac's Fighter).
Once Sun Fac is done, then I switch over to Phoenix Ships.

Getting a solid DS fleet up early is key for being able to get Zetas.

Then work on Rebels once you have the Zeta challenges completed.

i'm doing phoenix rn with the hopes that they can be better than my current team (https://swgoh.gg/p/839194799/) and because i can get thrawn, palpatine, and yoda(7*windu, 6*jc, 5* ashoka, hopefully 5* kanan and ezra soon)

@BB6 Im in the same boat. Started about two months ago with no strategy. Kinda just went with the flow. Farmed Vader naturally and went after Plasma and Boba. Now I’m at level 64 with a so-so neutral team, crappy fleet / ranks, messed up mods, and low resources.

After some research, I also started farming Phoenix. I’ve been continually farming their shards and I’m going to get them to four or five stars before I start gearing / adding abilities.

Only plus side, like you, is I have a decent start on a good Empire / DS team. DV, GMT, Plasma, and ITF are all moving along nicely. BF and IG-86 also have a good start.

LS isn’t going as well. Mace and JC are my two most powerful toons, but it drops after that.

Anyway, this game is definitely addicting but can be damn frustrating with the constant resource crunch and slow pace / grind.

Good luck!
