do you have to refresh in ship arena to reach the top 200?

hi to the swgoh-universe,

home one, fo tie fighter, imperial tie fighter, clone‘s arc and fives starfighter, scimitar.
all 7* lvl 85, all pilots gear 12

biggs/wedge x-wing/ahsoka starfighter/resistance x-wing/jedi consular‘s starfighter
all 7* lvl 85, all pilots gear 11

tie advanced 6* lvl85 vader gear 11

kylo ren shuttle 5* lvl 85 all pilots gear 12


to make it short: i know home one isn‘t the big player in the top 50, perhaps also my fleet.

but i cannot understand, why i cannot reach the top 200 in my arena group without refresh. sometimes i have luck, but normally i have to pay 50 crystals for the 200 tokens more.

what experience do you have? is it „only“ a very strong ship-group?

do you have weaker ships but a better rank without refresh?

i cannot believe that all 200 ranks b fore me have all 7* ships and all pilots gear 12.

  • is good!

    only new for me that a 9* talkin and 6* executrix works better than a 7* home ome with gear 12 ackbar.

    shouldn‘t be...
  • Honestly I finish top 5 every day with home one, just find a lineup that works for you. My starting 5 is biggs, vader, tie fighter, boba, and jedi consular. Backup is wedge, fives, and ahsoka in that order
  • It's important to remember every shard is different (and age of shard matters quite a bit). You won't see JC in many starting lineups in older shards.

    And I say this as someone who still runs him in reserve as an emergency protection/damage option.
  • You can only move up so much without using crystals .

    Example- you win 5 battles each day. Even if nobody brings you down, you can only go up about 25 spots. If you want to move up faster ( if your ship team is ready or you are winning 4/5 battles) spend crystals.
  • hi ayybcall,

    would be christmas, if i could reach top 50...

    but with my home one in this arena group it is not possible or would cost me more crystals...
  • My 5* Chimaera works a lot better than my gear 12 Mace with 7* endurance did.

    I run the typical set up of Tie Advanced, Imperial Tie, First Order Tie, Biggs, Fives and reinforcements Scimitar, Slave 1, and then the final ship is just a random and use Cassian's U-wing.

    Tie advanced is very important for guaranteed target locks and that pesky imperial tie can't dodge it. All the Empire ships also give extra bonuses with an empire capital.

    I'm working on reaper to replace fives, and would also like to work on gauntlet but too busy gearing other characters than to work on the pilots.

    I can get to 1 everyday only needing 1 or no refreshes, though I share the payout with 2 others. Usually drop to around 15 to 20 every day. I feel like having only a 5* capital makes me more of a target, but i rarely lose on offense. Can't wait to 7* Chimaera.
  • I would use 5* Chimera over a 7* Home One with G12 Ackbar. It has much more synergy with my starting line up of Triple TIE, Biggs, Bistan. Scimitar also works better as the first reinforcement rather than the starting line up in my experience.
