Wonder if, as a f2p player, I am able to get higher in the rankings. I can stay under 500 easy enough, as long as I'm doing 2+ battles a day, but I've never been under 200. I'm using Nihilus (g8) with Dooku (g10), Palp (g8), Maul (g9), and Savage (g10). Vader just over took Palp today when I geared him to 9, but not sure if he's a better choice or not. I have no a star, and I'm level 84. I have decent Rebels too: Wedge, Biggs, ST Han, Cassian, K2, Leia (all g8), and 6* Lando and 5* g7 Chirrut. Other decent characters I have at 7* and higher gear:Kylo g10Boba, IG-88, Phasma, Royal Guard all g8Tarkin and Magma at g7, but if my pitiful 7* R2 attempts are any indicator they aren't great lolTips on best team combos from above and how to mod them, as well as what teams I should try to face are appreciated. In my arena shard in the 500-200 range there seems to be a lot of Wiggs/Chaze, Phoenix, and some Clones... and variations of those.

Can't figure out how to edit. "I have no a star and and I'm level 84" should read "I have no zetas"

At that gear level, your sith under DN seem to be your best option for now. Not sure if vader is a better choice, but st han might be useful.That team may not be viable for you for long, though

One thing I've noticed is that when I look at the top of my arena shard, there are no Nihilus teams. I figured it wasn't a team that could have that kind of success... I guess Rebs are my future lol

CLS, enough said. If you don't have him you better try to become a TB god because you won't stay top 50 without him. Then again idk what good TB guild let's people in who doesn't have CLS. Just thank CG for your new player experience

@Savage281 i'm afraid i don't have any great advice at your level. However, i do want to tell you that as f2p, you can absolutely get higher in the rankings. This is me, https://swgoh.gg/u/sfenrir/ absolutely f2p, but i've just been at it for longer. Patience and playing efficiently will work.I was always around 20 to 50 range, 'til the rex anti sith meta came to play, since then always in top 20. eventually found my arena mates and it became much easier. there's simply no team that i cant beat on the top end. You will get there too.

What you want and need are mods with speed secondaries. Check out your top ten teams of your shard and see what they are using and copy them.

Here is my https://swgoh.gg/u/savage281/

I tried for R2-D2 for CLS, but my Imp team got crushed on the final level of the R2 mission. I haven't even touched Old Ben, so that will take a minute. I got solo'd by Dooku under Nihilus a bunch, so now that chromium has gifted me a 6* Nihilus it's my turn lol. Rebels arent high gear, all 8. Really want to get the Chaze combo going but its a long grind.

DN will be your key for a while.
He works great with many teams, like rex/chaze or gk/zbariss or behind r2.
Before reaching CLS teams, i would say rex teams are the toughest, so you wont go wrong building that or keep building rebels

Perhaps Rex lead, ST Han, Nihilus, zKylo, and...? Phasma maybe, or Chirrut. Maul, Palp, Vader... Boba, or Lando? Not sure who'd be best in that last slot.

Would Tenacity up stop Kylo from Debuffing himself? Cleanse doesn't work well for him the more I think about it.

Would really like to get him in on it though.
