Farming advice for new-ish player

Hi I'm looking for some general advice from you more experienced players. I'm level 45 and trying to progress in both pve and pvp.

My characters:
45 Darth Sidious 4*
45 Nute Gunray 4*
45 Talia 4*
45 Captain Phasma 3*
45 Clone Wars Chewbacca 3*
45 Jedi Consular 3*
44 Stormtrooper 3*
43 Royal Guard 2 *
42 Hoth Rebel Soldier 3*
42 Jawa 3*
41 Resistance Pilot 2*
38 Resistance Trooper 2*
38 Snowtrooper 1*
31 Ewok Scout 1*
20 Nightsister Initiate 1*
12 Clone Sergeant 1*
12 IG-85 Sentinel Droid 1*
11 Geonosian Soldier 1*
2 First Order TIE Pilot 1*

I'm currently farming Old Daka in cantina shipments and Chewbacca shards in cantina battles, Luminara Unduli in GW shipments, and just unlocked Darth Sidious in arena shipments (should I keep farming Darth Sidious shards to upgrade him or farm another character?). What leader abilities should I be using for GW/arena/squad cantina/light side battles/dark side battles? My light side character team is weak (3* Chewbacca/3* Jedi Consular/3* Jawa/3* Hoth Rebel Soldier/2* Resistance Pilot) and I'm struggling in level 5 light side battles, how can I improve this team? Any other general advice would be great as well. I'm not very experienced with these types of games but have been enjoying this one quite a bit.
  • Get chewie, jawa & consular to 4*. Then focus on consular. You should get genosian to 3* but too late now.

    You need to get another tanky light side team coz later on, first & 2nd round you will up against multiple aoe that will kill 2 or 3* gear v. You need those nodes to farm purple gear. Maybe hoth rebel soldier & jawa can handle it should you upgrade them to 4*.

    I have 2* resistant troopr/pilot. 3*jawa/plo kloon, they just melt at 5 lvl higher. I'm not upgrading them beyond gearv. Or else I can't maintain top 100 position.

    I guess I have to manually farm it without sim.
  • Thanks for the replies guys I appreciate it. Should I use Chewbacca or Sidious as my leader in GW? I usually use Sidious in the other modes but wondering if Chewbacca is better in GW for more long term survivability
  • What should my priority be for ability leveling? Is it better to focus a single character or spread it out across my main team getting the cheapest ones first?
