General Advice

I have been playing this game a while and probably started a month or two after the game was released. I'm ftp and have a pretty competitive shard in both arenas. I am currently trying to plan out my farming for the next few months. One thing I'm working on his my next five zeta plan. Barring new characters my thoughts are finishing Nightsisters and Nightmare teams so I need (in no particular order): Palp unique, DN unique, Sion, Daka and Talzin unique

My current zeta list is: CLS x3, R2 x2, Maul, Kylo, Leia, Savage, Vader x2, Finn, Cody, Assaj x2, Talzin (leader), Thrawn (unique), Han Solo, RJT x3, BB-8 (roll), Palpatine (lead), Veers

Any other zetas I should look at over the five I listed?

As for arena, I still run Titans in character arena. That is mostly due to not being arena ready with my nightmare team. I find that even without having the best mods, I can handle a lot of the nightmare teams more effectively with Titans than with trying to match speeds with a mirror squad. Titans can handle JTR teams as well depending on the opponents speeds. Titans do make me a bigger target, but I can generally still hit top 50. I have let mod farming suffer since I am prioritizing finishing cantina toon farming. At this point I'm down to needing the following shard amounts: Dooku (118), FOE (139), NS Spirit (151), Saxon (185), Imp Sup Commando (238), and Sith Marader (250). I have been trying to 7* everything just because of "never know who you will need" nature of the game. I'm currently working on FOE, then Dooku, then Sith Marader. I think I may start mod farming again after that.

As for ship arena, I maxed out Thrawn's ship first. I'm currently working on Ackbar's abilities. Sadly I run the same old TFP, Vader, Biggs like everyone. Unfortunately, my TFP is only Gear XI, so it seems I'm always behind in a battle. If I don't get a target lock on my first hit, I'm usually toast. Then, it is still a horse race to see who's Thrawn hits the major ability and takes out a ship. I'm working on gearing up my geonosians and working on their ship abilities. Do they work better under Ackbar or Tarkin? I like the protection up from Ackbar but Tarkin has the better ultimate ability. I just want to make an arena change since I struggle to hit top 50.

I would appreciate any general advice on how I can improve overall as well.

Thanks.

    I'm assuming the better FO teams have KRU lead, with Kylo, FOE, and two others.

    Which other two would you recommend?


    For a pure FO team you want zKrum (L), FOO, FOE, zFOST and either Kylo Ren or FOSF (in your case you already have kylo geared so I would use him). For a hybrid FO team you can switch kylo ren for Thrawn since he is a better option but you are probably already using him in other squads.
