Gear IX - priorities?

I'm level 76 right now, and at the point where I have ~15 characters bumping up against Gear level IX. As I'm mostly F2P, getting the furnaces, stun cuffs, etc… is a real slog.

I wanted to ask the forum their recommendations on who is most deserving of / most benefits from these gear pieces.

My initial top characters: Bariss, Ahsoka, Asajj, Luminara, GS, Boba, Vader, Sun Fac, & Mace.

I've recently been pushing up my rebels: Biggs, Wedge, St. Han, Lando are now some of my best characters.

Rey, Darth Maul and Qui-Gon Jinn aren't too far behind the rest.

What do people suggest as the most worthy of bumping to gear IX?

(Also, any recommendations for a fifth rebel under Wedge's leadership would be greatly appreciated!)

Thank you!
  • I would say boba,ST Han and Lando. My reason is they are all arena useful and they all help you complete the credit heist event which is a major source of credits. Arena success requires good mods and good mods usually means buying them with crystals or credits. Then leveling them up with a ton more credits. Also if your raid gear is lacking I would gear up Teebo or Vader and focus on placing top ten in pit raid

    Hope this helps
  • Thanks everyone for the feedback! Gonna give the next furnace to Boba (5 more shards to go). What you're saying about scoundrels makes sense. It's hard to let go those first characters that you 7*'d, but I want to keep my team relevant as I head towards endgame.

    Any suggestions for a fifth rebel under Wedge? Was debating between Ackbar, Leia or Scarif… I'd love to get Baze/Chirrut, but they're not exactly easy to get shards for.
  • AA if you need him for ships, also dispel, but rex is better for that
    SRP is one tuff tank,but takes a long time to build.
    Leia is too squishy in my opinion, another glass cannon
    if she is prevented by AB from stealth, she dies.
