Fork in the Road: Start grinding to Padme--> GAS vs DRevan --> Malak??

padme-> gas and it's not close imo. just realize you have a loooooooooooong way to go

With that line up, I'd say dr/malak. That squad is still able to beat just about anybody. Dr, bsf, hk, malak, Han beat gas. Dr, bsf, hk, malak, thrawn beat padme.
For mirrors dr, bsf, hk, malak, sith marauder/sith empire trooper.
They can also take down gl kylo squads without his ultimate.
Obviously getting good droids and a geo squad-> padme->gas would give you 4 top tier squads but it's a long way off and can be your focus after getting dr/malak.
Just my two cents :-)

Awesome thanks guys! Exactly the feedback I was looking for. Yeah Gif you're not kidding with how far off I am. Maybe even a few Os short in your long, but I think Saada's making some excellent points that just happen to also speak to my lack of patience haha. Thank you both for taking the time to reply

Whichever way you go, stick with it! Don't flip-flop or you will never get anywhere.

Sorry, how rude of me. Might help if I lay out where I'm at to give a better sense of current progress toward each:

DRevan:
Bastilla fallen 2*
Canderous Ordo 2*
Carth Onasi 2*
Juhani 6*
HK-47 5*

I have JKR so fortunately that steps handled.

Padme/GAS:
Poggle 6*
Grievous 5*
Dooku 3*
IG-100 5*
B2 4*
Nute 4*

GAS:
3PO 0* locked
Ewok Elder 5*
Logray 3*
Paploo 2*
Wicket 0* locked
Chief Chirpa 0* locked
Ahsoka 7*
Shaak Ti 0* locked
Droideka 0* locked
B1 0* locked


So it's obvious that there's significantly more work to be done before I could work up to GAS compared to Malak, but it'll still be a journey and basically wanna avoid slippin further behind than I already am.

K, now I'm done. Thanks in advance.

I’d second the darth revan/Malak path - you are closer, and they can even beat Ultimate Rey if you mod the snot out of them.

Padme then GAS
Then you have 2 LS teams that people will want you for

Thanks y'all. I think based on your input I'm gonna focus on DR/Malak. I mean, it only takes 70,300 mk GE tokens to get him from 5 to 7 stars, so should be a breeze :-)
