Hello there...Right ive been playing swgoh for about 6months and primarily used it to while away the boredom of my train commute. But now ive got hooked! Im F2P with the occasional couple of quid here and there. My problem is ive got some high level characters BF, JC, CWC, Mace and Ahsoka all 79/80 with gear 8-10. obviously the synergy here is non existent. i love the ships side of the game and have cracked the top 40 today. i have all the galactic republic ships and use Mace as my capital.But where do i go from here? I dont have any powerful teams like Pheonix Squadron or Those pesky night sisters. and just seem to be ploughing my resources in to ships and a not very synergistic team!!you're my only hope...my profile link https://swgoh.gg/u/erosive/

You answered your own question. Start farming phoenix, then empire/CLS rebels(old ben, Leia, st Han, farmboy luke and r2). As a Side project farm scoundrels foe heists.Then work first order for bb8 and Finn, scavenger Rey, veteran smuggler Han and chewie for Jedi rey

You have a good start to your scoundrels for credit heists. But to get past galactic wars and to advance in arena, you need a team with synergy that can deal damage and is resilient.

Farm two out of these tree teams first, then do the third - PhoenixEmpireScoundrelsThen come back to us :)

Empire and Phoenix lol?You want Empire to get R2 who is wonderful and you need him for CLS. Plus they are very good in Arena right now.You want Phoenix to get Thrawn. And most other parts of the game.

That team will very possibly not be very good. BUT it will mean something to you, and you're going to get more enjoyment out of working on that little side project than anything else, and since games are all about enjoyment.....Good luck!

btw. i didnt find this out at first but on chance as i died in gw and got pissed of and left! it reset battle so none of your guys die :) that have saved my team a ton of times, brining in other heroes or just having another try with better tactics or rng.

Is chewie not a particularly good toon then? Ive started to farm phoenix and have Kanan at 4 star but then the rest at 6 shards so quite a way off yet! how long is the grind? days weeks months? im a daily player but like i said have no luck with galactic war at the moment, didnt even break through node 5 today haha! ive got most of the ships i have to at least 6 stars so will be a ble to dedicate all resources to them soon enough!

As for empire i have Vader at 70 g8, Moff 60 g7, TFP 61 g7, RG 52 g6 and Snowtrooper 49 g6. also ive unlocked ISC but thats it lvl1 g1.

So many teams, so few crystals...

CWC is ok as a filler in your scoundrel team for credit heists. That's about it. He used to be ok in some of the very first TM manipulation teams for Rancor raids almost 2 years ago, but that day has long passed.

In squad arena, you will probably have more success with your empire toons, if you develop them. Vader, TFP and Tarkin form a great base for a team. With EP as leader and Thrawn in the mix you could climb fairly high (not all the way to the top, though). The advantage is that several of them are piloting great ships as well. Which brings me to my actual point:

Since your best chance to increase your crystal income currently is fleet arena, I would focus most resources on improving ships and pilots. If you enter top—20 (or even top—10) you will earn great amounts of crystals. Keep building the pilots that you use and that work for you. At the same time keep farming Biggs, FOTP and Millenium Falcon from hard nodes. That will not conflict with farming Phoenix etc. as others already suggested above.

My pilots are JC, CSP1, Ashoka, Fives,Plo Koon and Unmasked Kylo. Apart from kylo they are 7* or very near to it and the ships are all nearly 6* and the ARC170 nearly 7* Jc Plo and Ashoka as the starting 3. With Mace as my capitalat lvl 75. Im 34th but think im capped out atm as theres no one higher with a galactic team ill see tomo if i can creep up the rankings. My problem is do i finish these off to 7* after grinding for so long or stop and go pheonix/rebels/empire.

At what star level and gear level do pheonix become useful? They are all between 50-60 but seem pretty weak when ever i use em against weakish teams in gw. Thanks for everyones help up to rhis point been farming all the tie pilots aswell so i can get 5star executrix.

Ill give you the same advice someone in my Guild gave me. I too have been playing for 6-8 months or so and in the past 2 weeks I've unlocked BB8 6*, Yoda 6*, Raid Han and am about to unlock R2 and CLS.

I followed the advice I was given by someone who just obtained JTR and he told me to focus on groups to go after those legendary toons. A) get your Rebel squad ready (Leia, STHan, Farm Boy, Obi Wan) to go after Palpatine; B) Get your Empire squad 7* (Vader, Palp, etc) to go after R2. Then, you'll be ready for CLS.

Between events you can find the time to farm First Order for BB8. Jedi are still kind of weak even tho the revamped Yoda is awesome, so take your time on that one. Jedi shards just fell in my lap for me and took minimal effort.

I spent maybe $10 on this game in 8 months.
