Hi !
My advice is to work team by team.
If your first team is Phoenix, you have to gear min gear 8 atm. Maybe more, because Thrawn event is difficult ( i think i did this event with gear Ezra 10 and chopper 9).
When you work a team, it's important to know what team you will do after. Because you will know what you need ( what kind of energie) . With Phoenix, you will have Thrawn and Palpatine. The main road is to farm Empire character after. Maybe Tarkin / Dark vader / TIE Pilot ( i think it's good pilot with Biggs). With that at gear 9 you will have R2D2.
Neither needs to farm hard nodes, so you can farm gear until you need to farm hard node.
Ii depends what you want after :
- farm for CLS ?
- have a meta Team With Nihilus/Sion ( you will need to let gear farm and split your energie to farm shards in hard node).
There is no miracle solution, and we all alternate energie use i think. It depends of the situation and your goal.
What it is important to understand is gear the good character and good team. Because you cant gear everyone G12.
And my last point is : farm a character 7* in hard node may be very long ( some month if he is in only one hard battle), so choose well what you want and stick with.
