Casual player turned addict
Title says most of it. TL:DR version - very long time Star Wars fan and gamer. Tired of lackluster SW games and thought the appeal of a phone based SW game might be fun for a minute... Well 3-4 mon...

This game is all about resource management and focus. Now that you're looking to do more than just have some fun collecting characters, you need to prioritize how best to spend your resources. Arena is one of the keys to being successful in this game as arena pays out crystals that can be used to farm for more gear. So first thing first is get your arena team right. I'm a believer that rebels is a great team to begin with because (1) they are easy to farm (2) they are easy to understand and play (3) several of them are usable in other parts of the game (ships, credit heist, AAT raid) and (4) they unlock Palpatine. So if you decide to go that route then you'll want to farm for Wedge (Leader), Biggs, Lando, ST Han, and the fifth is up to you but I see a lot of people run with Boba (also a good versatile character to have).
The second thing is you'll always want to maximize every chance at getting resources. Always do all of your challenges and always complete Galactic War every day (or get as far as you possibly can with your roster). When ships unlock always complete those challenges too.
The third thing to work on is a Scoundrel team for the Credit Heist. If you go with rebels then you'll already have 2 (Lando and STH). IG-88 and Boba are the next two you'll want to have and are worth investing in. The fifth toon can literally be anything, and I would recommend that you NOT sink too much resources into the fifth toon. As long as you level the first four you'll be able to beat the final tier of the credit heist eventually. Credits will become an issue for you as you further level and you'll need to be very mindful on how you spend them.
The fourth thing to be mindful is FOCUS. The singular biggest mistake new players make is they lack focus and are unlocking every character to four stars gear V and then never seem to be able to get anywhere. Focus on a character or squad at a time and get them high leveled and far before doing research on the next character/squad to farm and gear.
The last, but certainly not least, is go find yourself a good guild. There are guilds with already established players that don't mind taking on low level members so long as they are completing their 600 raid tickets a day. I cannot stress how important it is to find a good guild as all of the end game gear will come from guild raids and this is a good way to get a head start. You can find recruiting guilds on the separate guild page on the forums.
Good Luck!
