First critical turning point at lvl 60

I think you should get phoenix past gear 7, and 7 star them as you gonna need them for thrawn, ep, kanan and ezra for yoda, and ships ofc. You should prepare for ship as well they payout alot of crystal given that youre at the top

I'm not sure about when to stop farming Phoenix. However, since only 1 of them is located on a hard node, you really should farm some more usefull toons there, f.ex. Biggs for his must—have ship, Boba Fett (scoundrel and nice ship), RG (for R2D2), FOTP (ship) and such.

It might benefit you to put Phoenix farming on hold for a while to farm a team of scoundrels to at least 4* for the highest tier of credit heist. Those extra credits really help while you still level up and develop your roster.

You need to finish off Phoenix team at 7* to unlock both Thrawn and EP at 7*. They can be used at 5* yes, but eventually you want them at 7* anyway to unlock 7* R2 then CLS.

4) Should I have more emphasis on ship preparation? I don't even know if it pays crystals lol.

It pays crystals, but only at top 20. However, you should reach it if you're prepared.

You will start with two moderately strong ships (phantom and ghost), after you farm 25 shards for both from ship store (shouldn't take too long).

Now, my advice would be to try to hit two birds with one stone:

Cantina store: Bobba Fett (scoundrel, ship, mid-game arena), finish chopper (no need to rush to 7 stars if you're not making Thrawn team ready)
Arena store: StHan (Scoundrel, mid-game arena, CLS) , Ackbar (capital ship, needed for chimaera, arena viable even end-game), Kannan (same as chopper)
GW store: Biggs, Zeb, ships after 60
Hard nodes: Sabine (for ships), FOTP (ships), rest for gear
Cantina: Lando (get him at 4* for Credit heist), TFP, finish Ezra\Hera. Mods must be included, 5* only.
Ship store (after 60): Ghost, Phantom, Slave 1/Tie Advanced/Scimitar, Vader shards.

Get your scoundrels first (StHan, Bobba, Lando). Get them unlocked and switch to other characters, level them up, gear them up to g7/g8. Skill Bobba (usefull for ships) and Lando (if you find Heist too tough). StHan can wait.

Get Kannan to 5* and do Health mods. I don't know how many shards you need to 5* Kannan (Swgoh doesn't show it), if it's like 5 or 10 then do him first.

Then generally focus on where you think you begin to slip. Heist too hard? Improve you scoundrels. Ship arena? Star/gear/skill pilots. Normal arena? Farm better mods.

Thanks for all the great responses. An update of where I am today:

Lvl 56
Ezra 6* 2/100 to 7*
Kanan 5* 0/85
Chopper 5* 60/85 to 6*
Zeb 5* 30/85 to 6*
Hera 5* 2/85 to 6*

I spent a couple day's worth of energy farming 5* health mods and upgrading them looking for speed. I think I spent too much and blew through 3.5M upgrading to lvl 12 looking for speed. I'm broke now so back to cantina farming. Targets right now:

1) Cantina: Grind Ezra to 7*, then Lando/Mods. Maybe some TFP?
2) Cantina store: Chopper is close so I'm going to finish him at 6*, then Ahsoka to 5*, then Boba
3) Arena store: I stopped Kanan at 5* Now doing STH to 5*
4) GW store: I stopped Zeb at 5*, Now doing Biggs to 5*. Will be doing ship shards at 60.
5) Hard node: Jedi Consular x 15 a day for ships. Rest of energy goes to gear
6) Guild store: Farmboy Luke + gear. No idea what I'm doing here really. Mainly hoarding

So I've mostly stopped phoenix at 5* (except from getting ezra to 7*) to prepare for ships in 4 levels. Then depending on how that goes I'll come back and finish phoenix. Also stopped mods farming for now until I have more credits.

I need credits to upgrade the ships pilots and when that's stabilized I'll do more mod farming. How far do you guys level up potential mods to peek at the secondaries? I was peeking at level 6, then got greedy and looked at lvl 9 and lvl 12. Peeking cost a fortune.

Thanks for the advice. Here's my current strategy:

Cantina: Stopped mods. Ezra 6*: Going to push Ezra to 7*, then Lando/TFP, with some mods
Cantina store: Chopper is 60/86 to 6* so going to finish that. Then Ahsoka and Boba to 5*
Arena: Stopped Kanan at 5*. Farming STH to 5*
GW store: Stopped Zeb at 5*. Farming Biggs and ships at lvl60
Hard node: Jedi consular x15 a day (to 7*), rest on gear
Guild store: Farmboy luke + gear. I don't know what I'm doing here.

I spend 2 days farming 5* health mods and completely broke now. Spent 4M peeking at secondary attributes (looking for speed). I guess I shouldn't peek to lvl 12 :). What do you guys peek to? lvl 3, 6, 9? It got expensive fast.

Right now stopping phonenix at 5* (Except ezra to 7) to concentrate on ships and scoundrel. Once that's stabilized at 5* I'll see when I can get back to finishing Phoenix... What do you guys think? Do I need to level pilots to max player level as well? (going to be JC, Ahsoka, Biggs, TFP, FOTP, phoenix ghost). I have Thrawn at 5* but don't really have use for him yet.
