Continue to level JC?

Well only other ones I have are Talia, Chewie and underworld police all at 4*. Jawa seems the best among them. But yeah will go for Geo then after 6* JC

IF I were you i would finish my JC 7*. All the top players has him 7*. There must be a reason. He has 1000 HP more than Lumi at 7* and he deals pretty dem good dmg. With his basic attack you can reduce the cd's of your characters. I think JC is better option than Geo.

What top player uses consular on their arena team? HIs damage is really average. He's only good for GW.

Reyne,

One thing to consider is focus on heroes who can help you complete GW as it is the bread and butter for resources such as credits, training droids and mats. Don't know how well you do in GW, but I used to struggle with just three healers in Lumi, JC and Talia (Ashoka doesn't count since her special is so unreliable). One goes down and my chance of completing GW took a significant blow. Once I added a fourth in Daka, it made GW a whole lot easier. I am sure it will become even easier if I can get Barriss.

My point is, Arena gives you some resources and bragging rights, but GW should be your priority.

ATM I'm actually doing quite well with GW. completing it most of the times. But the thing is arena is also pretty important imho, as a F2P player it's a good income for gems. And I need at team that can defend well. After yesterdays rewards I was at rank 39. 22 hours later when I started doing my 5 battles I was at rank 103. Seems my team isn't the best at defending, so thats why I'm thinking about framing Geo Soldier instead.

Sorry for bumping, I do appreciate your replys but I would love to have some more input about this ;)

JC only reduces his own cooldowns not all characters. JC is good now because he can get to gear 8. After the update he won't be that good anymore in pvp (he reaches gear IX at level 73). I got him to 6* for GW and I'm leaving him at 6. At the moment I'm replacing him in pvp and I don't seem to miss him.

The funny thing with GW is just when you thought you are in a cruise control mode, the game throws higher level teams at you. ;)

As for your question, Genosian Soldier hits hard with his with special and works very well with Poe as he draws fire away from GS. Definitely worth pursuing him. Consider Luke as well. He is slower, but equally lethal and provides more versatility than GS.

In the end, you are only 16 shards away from getting your JC to a 6-star. Why stop? It is always better to finish off something before moving onto the next. Besides, a 1* Genosian Soldier (+6 shards to 2*) is not going to help you much in the short term anyway.

Ofc I will get him to 6*, what I meant was efter :) (which I managed to do yesterday btw). But yeah I've decided to go with Genosian Soldier in cantina battles, Think I still will to try and get shards from JCs hard modes though.

Have to point out in the higher end servers very few teams are running jc and lumi in arena. In my server none of the top 20 are.

Jc is worth Luling for a gw backup healer. But apart from that not much else.

Leveling JC has a lot to do with your plans. If you plan to max out Phasma first, or Poggle, then you might need JC with better gear/stars, as you won't max Lumi as fast as others

Im doing quite well in gw, Lumi is 90/100 shards now, so i will soon start with Phasma :). Seems I dont need a better JC atm, but I as wrote before I will probably keep farming his hard modes. Just not from cantina battles

I've played since the first day of hard launch and atm I have a max sid,lumi, 6* phasma, and I left JC at 5* to work on Kylo who is now 5* and halfway to 6*. I found that I can manage my GW battles which are more or less almost always level 60 teams after the first 3 battles are finished, the last six giving 5-7* purple geared teams. I'd work on geo after getting JC to 6*, he won't be much of a big game changer once that patch hits and he can't get better gear while other characters can. Geo seems to be a good solid damage dealer and he does synergize a bit with phasma with his Swarm attack (assist skill). I've also managed to place top 10 almost everyday with JC in my lineup although I'll probably be replacing him once i get the replacements up to par.

Em can you screenshot your roster?

I find it hard to believe is all...
