Ok, but which first @Gifafi

well it kinda depends. If you have strong allies and can get to gba node that sounds best to me, but not sure if that's doable without the phoenix to get thrawn and ep. When I started geos weren't an option but on alt I went phoenix (enough to get thrawn and ep) then geos, mainly for the ships as regular arena was already stacked. Geos then lead to padme but I haven't built her team up that much yet. Geos are also a great early-game gac team that only require one zeta (as opposed to padme or even ep/vader).

I wouldn't build phoenix up any more than you absolutely have to to get thrawn/ep.

Other: Please say

phoenix and geos

I actually started with BH and got my first 7* with Boba Fett at lvl 65!
I also started wth Ewok Elder for Heals and Revives and my arena team is amazing because of it.

BH get you Chewie and heists, not much more. Ewok Elder is nice early game but needs Ewoks (an ishy faction) to work well. There are other reviving toons, which are better than Elder.

I like this idea @TheChild_eats_eggs1 .
I think if at all possible to get both by level 85, that would be idea. But if I had to choose one, Geos would be best imo. They're just a better first team than Phoenix (yes they're not amazing until you get GBA, but Nute can lead them until then.) and Padme is a better 'second' team than an Empire squad.

The only real question is whether or not you farm towards CLS.

I think yes you should. CLS is such a powerful team. Yes you need to farm bounty hunters and ewoks, but both those teams are useful in GAC.

Also @Fett_Kenobi80 I would take Ewok Elder out of your arena team. I don't know what gear your bounty hunters are at, but it would be more beneficial to have a full bounty hunter team. One revive won't change much. If you really need a revive, you'll probably lose that battle anyway. Adding in Greef Karga over Elder will still give you good health and protection recovery, as well as a mass assist. (yes, he's not a double drop farm, but you don't need him at high stars to be viable.)

Forget JML for beginners if he is going to aim for any other Legend, there are 50 toons and ships, of these 20 are with relic minimum 3. There are 12 relics for Rey or Supreme Leader Kylo.

Beginner needs an acceptable team to start the galactic war farms and simulate as fast as possible. A scoundrel team next to minimize the problem of credits and training droids.

I still say starting Phoenix is better.

That said, I wouldn't push them for fleet since you need DS to get Zetas.

To me you should use Phx as your LS team & farm them, but, also have Kylo-U working as you head towards fleet & plan on picking up Geo's at L60 when Fleet opens.

Geo's will shine once you have Alpha open but no reason to farm them crazy before say L50 or maybe even L60-70 outside of the 2 pilots that you get access to from early Cantina.

JML beginner! No no no. I meant JML accidentally was started on, so when you go for him, you’re at a head start
