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

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

Fleet shipments
Best to farm should include:
Ezra. He is one of the top Jedi (not quite as good as QGJ, but a worthwhile addition to jedi team, one of the only phoenix characters worth using outside phoneix squad). Needed for thrawn. More generally useful than D. Maul.

Tie fighter pilot - very good ship, good for getting R2D2, essential for Pit (until you have CLS), good in AAT phase 3, good on empire teams.

Decent to farm: FO Tie Pilot (worthwhile ship, need for BB8, but not a lot of use otherwise)

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.

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).

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.

Agree that some characters aren't useful later on, but you can still farm them to like 5 star. This way they are useful in the beginning and you didn't spend much time and resources on them in the end

Rey is still useful, i run my entire GW with Wiggs leia chirrut and rey and i can finish my GW in less then 15 min without needing 2nd tries. She may not be the best but she is certainly a good character. She is imo just better then decent, although she might not be the best.

The problem is that with too many such farms, you will waste too many ressources and take too many detours. I would recommend to consider carefully before you choose to farm a toon only halfway through. Farming nightsisters to 5* only in order to be able to farm Talzin shards in the event could be a good reason f.ex.

I still wouldn't list her as 'best to farm' but... your guide, your decision :—)
