Best character to farm in each store (lower levels mostly)

I would farm Phoenix, they are really good if you are a new player...
I think they are maybe the best F2P team for new players

I have to disagree with Scavenger Rey being a best farm from the cantina store. The best characters to farm are more or less the best in slot for a team and Rey is basically always the Resistance member to leave out when raiding (R2 is good for p4 HAAT resistance squad with his group buff), and not recommended for PvP either (She's too one-dimensional). Whether you are running raids or pvp with them Resistance trooper is always necessary.

Recommended all resistance tank team: Finn, Poe, trooper, pilot, BB8. Recommended all resistance PvP team: Finn, Poe, trooper, BB8, R2.

Rey just ends up being a standalone heavy hitter in your roster, and those are honestly the characters that I never end up using outside of Galactic War when I'm at my wits end. She should really be one of the last characters listed in the "decent to farm" category in the guild store just because her potential uses are so limited regardless of how fast she is and how hard she hits.

I would tell every NewB not to farm her until after they've already farmed the clones, Jawa Engineer, Jyn, etc. because otherwise they are just wasting resources they could be spending on a character better suited to opening some facet of the game up like the HAAT or ships, or mods, etc. (I know she can be used for speed mods, but she's still the black sheep of the Resistance for the time being).

The best characters to farm as a newB will not only do you well at beginning levels, but also still be really effective end game, and Rey doesn't really fit that category anymore.
Basically the first members for each team that you should farm are the ones that are most effective for your current level that won't have to be replaced at later levels. That means that characters like Luminara, Scavenger Rey, Darth Sidious, & Clone Wars Chewbacca should not be recommended to Newbies to farm.

Cad Bane is a better farm than Chewbacca because he is also one of only 6 Bounty Hunters, which constitute a pretty effective team and Chewie doesn't really fit on anything but rare non-faction specialty comps.

Yes, i've put all of them decent, but together it's really good

Good guide but some of your decent list should be top farms.
Galactic war: Luminara is a great one to farm for beginners but she quickly loses relevance when you can farm baris. Phasma and teebo are essential for raids and should be top farms.
Cantina: Ashoka should be a best farm. Teamed with Anakin she is a must for a decent Jedi team in tank raid.
Squad: Savage is a best farm for sith and dark side teams, especially zetad.
Guild: I'ma gun di is the second strongest Jedi leader after a zetad qui Gon. I always recommend farming Rey first and him second for any new player.
Fleet: ahsoka and rex should be among best farms. Once again essential raid characters.

PS are a must-farm for new players; needed for Thrawn and can be used for EP and 2 for GMY, TB platoons, great arena squad. Personally Luminara is small compared to Bariss, Zeb is more important.

Agree with most of that, but this is primarily beginning players

Beginning players? Even beginners don't need Luminara. She's far from as important as she was 18 months ago and it's not like she has a ship or anything. Phasma and Teebo are far more important than Luminara after Biggs. Sun Fac has also been surpassed. Now he's decent but hardly among the best. Also I wouldn't recommend 5s over Ahsoka for beginners (cantina shipments). 5s is decent, yes, but not a best farm. Ahsoka helps you unlock GM Yoda.

You put Rex as a best farm from guild shipments. Why is he only a decent farm in fleet shipments? He's the exact same toon and you can only farm him those two locations.

Darth Sidious is not more important than Savage Opress. I would put both as 'decent'. However, if you listed Maul as 'best' due to his arena leadership then his sith friends Sidious and Savage should also be. Maul is nothing in the arena without good sith around him. However, if you listed Maul as 'best farm' due to his ship, then I would suggest to have both SO and DS as 'decent' only.

Instead of Cad Bane I would recommend Chewie for a scoundrel team and then save GW tokens for better toons. You receive Chewie as an intro toon and will probably farm him to 4* (at least 3*) anyway as your introductory tank. I would list Cad Bane as 'do not farm'.

Luminara is a good healer to get you through GW and will help unlock GM. Agree that phasma is really good, but teeboo isn't that useful till you have a good raid team wich will take a long time. Sun Fac also has a ship, wich makes him useful. Ahsoka is good but fives has one of the best ships in the game and is a useful raid character later on. Also ahsoka is best with JKA, someone newer players probably don't have yet.

Rex has put decent and good since there are way more good things to farm in fleet then in guild. There is always 8 ships and 8 characters in there with only 5 characters in guild store.

Sidious has a better leadership and inflicts healing immunity, while most F2P beginners use healers.

For 5th scoundrel both chewie and cad bane are fine

Ok, we tend to disagree on the usefulness of Luminara and Ahsoka. Fair enough.

If you put fives and Sun Fac in the 'best' category because of their ships, then you should also move Tarkin up there instead of in 'decent'. Postponing Tarkin until after Ackbar (who is already ranked as 'best') is just a detour from acquiring the best admiral ship (until Chimaera).

Good raid team takes a long time to assemble ? You already put Rex, Jyn and QGJ in the 'best' category. With them you're almost there. All you need is then *ta—daaaa* Teebo. Surely, you put Jyn in the 'best' category for a raid team, since her R1 friends Cassian and K2 are only in the 'decent' category. Why not Teebo then? Teebo is significantly more important than the other 'decent' toons in the GW store.

5s good in raids? Phasma is way better. Not only does she apply speed down, she also grants TM to your team when they need it to get ahead of the Rancor and she ensures a crit for TFP to apply tenacity down. (I don't suppose you refered to AAT raids, since cody, echo and sergeant are ranked lower).

Sidious might inflict healing immunity, yes, but farming him early is a detour away from farming the far more beneficial rebels in same store. Sidious has already outplayed his role as debuffer in mid—game long before you have him at 7*. If you switch to another toon when he becomes obsolete, you will just have an almost useless toon sitting at 5* instead of a rebel, you can develop further.

Just my 2 cents :—)

I woud put tarkin as good if there weren't already so many good farms in squad arena store and ackbar is a better fleet commander IMO, especially since most people will farm rebels and therefore also rebel ships.

Jyn is in my opinion better then cassian and K2 as character and is also good besides raids, while teeboo is pretty bad for arena, GW and anything else then raids.

Both Fives and Phasma are good in raids, but there are more important farms in GW then there are in cantina. Fives is just above decent while Phasma then is just below good imo. Also Sidious doesn't need to be 7 star to be good and is just like fives just above good
