Fastest rebel farm

Hello guys!

First of all see my roster here: https://swgoh.gg/u/switcheroo/collection/

The EP event is coming up. So I started concentrating my farming to finish Ezra to 7*. Then I realized that I'm using Boba who is not a rebel... -.-

So my arena team (highest toons) atm is as follows: Lando, Boba, STH, Biggs, Ezra
They are 7* and Ezra is 7/100.
So now I'm saving all crystals for cantina refreshes and dumping everything in Ezra so I can get him ASAP to 7*.

So please help me do the math. If I understand correctly I get 550 cantina energy every day if I get 2 refreshes (I might be able to get 3 sometimes). So to get the 83 missing shards for Ezra with 33% drop rate it means 83*8*3= roughly 2000 energy or 4 days. So I would have 10 days left until the end of the EP event.

Now I need another rebel... As far as I can tell I have these options:

1. After I'm done with Ezra go for Wedge (which would be my next farm anyway). I just doubt that there is enough time to get him to 7*. He is at 42/80 so I would need 288 (?) more shards so that would be 288*3*10= roughly 8640 energy so that means 16 days.
2. Use cantina currency to buy Chopper shards. He is 4* 35/65 right now but I will need him eventually for Phoenix anyway.
3. Buy Ackbar shards in fleet and arena store. He is 4* 5/65. Not my favorite option because it would slow down other farms.

So which would be my fastest rebel farm? Is it even possible to get one to 7* (without spending real money) before Feb 14th when the EP event ends? Is my math flawed? Please advise.

Thank you for your time!
  • I did something like 63 Hera shards with 2 days/15 hours remaining on Thrawn as 100% f2p. It's definitely possible.

    I’m level 80 and don’t have wedge or Lando since they’re unnecessary for me right now with the teams I run. I prefer to spend cantina energy on mods challenges

    One, yes. Two, probably not. You get 5 cantina energy per hour and 100 per Refresh. Makes 320 per day, not 550. So, yes, your math is wrong.


    The cost of the refresh is 100 crystals, you get 120 energy per refresh. Plus, you get a bonus 45 energy once per day. Works out to 405 energy every day.


    Ha the "your math is wrong" person got the math wrong.
  • Well whether or not you believe ackbar or chopper will be ready in time, I recommend you keep farming zeb from gw in the meanwhile
  • Yeah, that's what I'm doing anyway. However, I can't clear all 12 nodes every day lately. So GW is not such a fast farm for me at the moment. I think once I get Wedge up and running I should be able to clear more.

    While challenge farming is a necessary chore, the sad part is when you realize that 95% of those mods are trash and that your best mods almost always come from the Mod Shop.
  • But that's only because you pick and choose from the mod shop. Think of all the mods you didn't buy. 95% of those are also trash.

    Ok maybe 90% ;)

    Even if the mods end up being useless selling them gives you a lot of gold. Win win, since if they’re good I’ll just level them up. I haven’t bought a single mod from the mod shop since they all look pretty trash.
