Hi again, guys -So I'm happy enough with my CLS squad. And I'm consistently placing in the top 50 with my NS. I just spent some time getting my Jedis up to G11 (because I felt like it. I know they're terrible right now). But now I don't know where to go next.I'm farming Matt and his ship in the Cantina. But I kind of don't know why. I've got a zPhasma and my First Order is fine the way it is. But I guess I could beef him up, gear him up, and drop a zeta on him (and one on TIE Pilot or Stormtrooper) and say that I'm working on my FO squad.I'm farming Veers in LS and DS battles. I think it could be fun to build him and his troopers up and drop a zeta on him. I guess? But here's the honest truth: I'd maybe rather do Gar Saxon and the Supercommando with the troopers because Saxon just looks fun and awesome. But he probably stinks, right? I dunno.I just finished watching Rebels and even though my Phoenix are ok - all of them G10 - I could focus on them and drop my zetas on Kanan, Sabine, and Hera (or Zeb). I know they'll never be arena viable (none of the teams I'm talking about will!) but they seem like they'd be really fun and they have great synergy. Right?I know I don't want to work on my Sith any more right now. There's too much going on and too many of the options are 3-star un-gettable whale toons. I also hate to follow the crowd. No Sith for me! And no JTR, either. So what do you think sounds best? Who's worth the gear and the Zetas, in your purely subjective opinion?NOTE: people always ask, "for what? For arena? For TW? For raids?" and the answer is: yes. If that helps.SamUX

Well phoenix is a fun squad to play period. Dropping zetas only increases that and gives you better options in LSTB, but if you're not struggling with those I do not see the point.Gar Saxon is ok, but not great. He's fun to play, and can do alright in DSTB, but beyond that he's mostly useful for his ship. Due to a lot of rumors going around about a GM Yoda rework, you might be ahead of the curve leveling up your jedi. Honestly though? If you do not have a specific one in mind, and do not need to farm anyone, try out some weird teams. Are your jawas 7* and geared up? They can be great in HAAT raid, and may have more synergy in the future. And it is just fun to watch those mini monks shoot people. There is a lot of talk about a bounty hunter rework, so how about those? If nothing else it gives you another strong team for DSTB.Speaking of Matt, his zeta/leadership is better than phasmas overall and most strong FO teams do not have Phasma (The usual one I see is zMatt, zKylo, FOO, FOST, and FO Executioner. If no FOX then FOTP, FOSFTPVeterans for JTR? I know they are a horrible grind, but hey if you don't have them you need them. Past that point you're getting into teams just to try them. I am in a really old shard (2016) and there is still a guy who places top 40 with a freacking ewok squad. Try that if you want to laugh a little?I am biased towards clones if you do not have a team of them. I love the clones and can't wait for them to be better in Arena.Tuskin squads are popular "I have noone to focus on" Squads.Essentially, there is a hundred ways you can go! If you do not need one to stay arena viable, or just need another squad for TW or TB, then pick any of them! Go for a Geonosian squad, BH squad, Jawa Squad, and of these can help in TW, TB, and are a fun little break from the "usual" teams you see.

Don't underestimate Matt and the new FO characters...Executioner and SF pilot are Beasty.?FOST and FOTP/ZYLO with them... They're a solid squad.I don't think I've seen a fully zeta'd FO squad under Matt as yet.

Never underestimate the murderbears they are super fun and strong

This was before I knew how horrible they were. At this point, I have so much time (as well as a few hundred bucks invested between buying Jedi packs and Crystals) that I've just decided to deal with it and focus on them. They're playable for the most part even if they are UP.

I LOVE my clones. So much. But I stopped with each of them at G10 because they became so weak so quickly. Lame. Although I'll bet if I G12'd all of them and dropped zetas on Cody and Fives, they'd be aight... it's something to think about! I wouldn't mind getting Wolffe or Hevy or even some of those random red-and-white Clone soldiers I've seen the AI controlling...!

I HATE the murderbears. But maybe just because whenever they beat me I want to fling my iPad out the window. It's such an insult, LOL. ...huh. I wonder if that's how the Empire felt after the Battle of Endor? LOL!

If you no idea and no real direction, farm easy troopers. You’ll want Reaper eventually so Shore should be started early, plus none are really required except Starck, Snow & Veers. Magma and DT are amazing in new raid, and best of all outside of snow they are easy gears. As an added bonus they only need 1 zeta.

I've maxed out all my ewoks with good/great mods.

JTR squads are a pushover, rex squads the same.

Zarris a nightmare, but doable.

New empire? Rarely get a turn.

The more and more I play this game, if you're f2p like me, I can't help thinking - farm what you want, when you want.

Meta-chasing as f2p is pointless and demoralising.

Farm the teams you want and enjoy. Eventually their time will come.

I'm going for Imperial Troopers now because I love em, they look cool, and I want to destroy with them :)
