I spend 150 per day on normal energy refreshes, and once a week I spend 300 on Cantina refreshes. Besides that, I save, so that I have a bunch when special events like double drops show up, or when I need to panic farm.

I'm 100% F2P and this has served me well thus far (and yes, I blew my whole savings during this double-drop).

same here F2P but saved about 2500 cristals and spent all on the double drop sion talzin and cantina to get my CLS team ready.

got plenty of shards halfway Sion 5 now so guess ill try to level him up to add to my arena team
as I dont have a tank in my empire team (EP Thrawn DV Tie Pilot and GMT)
will switch GMT with Sion once he is high lvl has all the mods and gear X

As a newer player, the best way to spend crystals is on energy refreshes to build up a good arena team. As your arena team gets better and ranks higher, you’ll get more crystals. Then after fleet arena opens up, you can get more crystals from there. More crystals = more energy refreshes, which means faster character farming. Top players spend 450 crystals a day to refresh dark side/light side energy and cantine energy 3 times each. But for now, spend according to your income. Each (of the first 3) LS/DS energy refresh costs 50 crystals, and each (of the first 3) cantina energy refresh costs 100 crystals. So if you get 50 crystals a day total between dailies and arena, then you can do one LS/DS energy refresh a day. If you keep focusing on one good team, then you’ll get more crystals to spend and you’ll progress faster.

I read Phoenix was the best for early-mid game so that's what I'm focusing on right now.

Yes Phoenix is very important, with them you can get thrawn which you can then use to get r2 and then cls, and you can also use Phoenix to get EP (which is now great for arena), so definitely a thing to do, unfortunately I didn’t do that and now i still don’t have cls, (I am working on empire to get r2 to 7*). So don’t do it like me

Here is my swgoh if you want to have a look?!
