Week 6 - For my Account

You've been playing for 6 weeks and have a G12 character? Did you use hyperdrive?

A whole lotta stuff

I'm not "fearing" anyone, I'm just having fun as a f2p player. Journey-wise I think I've done fairly well, but yes, my gear isn't 100% efficient.

I don't know who to invest in just yet, but I do have a solid first-order team and an upcoming CLS team. I have BH farming as well as mara jade, a ton of ships, wicket, and chewpio in order to have my CLS team and the ships for, well everything it seems like.

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts but I don't want to alter the way I play based entirely on what someone is telling me to do because, to me, that seems like I should just let them do it rather than me.

My BH team is a bit weird because I just hit 85 and just got Bossk unlocked yesterday so he's only at 4/25 and isn't activated yet. I am going to probably use Greedo, IG-88, Dengar, Cad Bane, and Boba Fett. Greedo is a bit wacky but if it doesn't work out, I'll have Bossk a bit higher and I think most BH are used for Jaba in the long run so it won't be wasted.

My JTR progress is getting a bit better, in a week or two I should have her unlocked I just need more credits lol.

My CLS team is sort of put on hold until I unlock the rest of his team.

My BH aren't great yet so they're just being farmed and not upgraded.

My Brood Alpha is getting closer to the maximum level and might get him in a month or two due to the lack of crystals.

Anyway, thanks again, but I will try to go my way just with the addition of help from the community.

Woah, they said it was only worth 4 weeks of f2p? It took me 5 months to get to level 85 dude. And the hyperdrive includes stuff to get the level 85 guys at 5 stars. Bossk, NIhilus, etc.

Hyperdrive to my knowledge saves at LEAST 6 months of progress f2p. You get so many 5-star characters and ships and access to everything right away like zetas, gac, conquest, etc.

And if I remember they give you everyone at level 80 or 85 which saves 5 million - 6.5 million per character.

I just found out it is 65 characters at level 80 and gear 8 WITH ability levels at 5. For new players, the value is over 6000 dollars and saves up to 2 years of time if you were to farm regularly.

I understand if you like comparing yourself to people in terms of progress because I do as well, but maybe pick someone who is around your level and GP. I don't mean to sound rude but that was a wild take.

Also yes, CLS was hard, and I don't have the requirements to fill out his team, but I did get him after about 3-4 weeks. (I had already had Obiwan and a couple of others at 7 star)

CLS is a good team so I'm working on them, if you need help on the event lmk

If you would like to send me over your swgoh.gg acc, I could help you a bit. I've only played 5 months but I've been constantly watching videos old and new, and all these other things that I have a bit of knowledge on early game strategies, goals, and more.

If you don't have a swgoh.gg acc, I suggest going there and getting one because it is an incredibly useful tool to everyone of all galactic power.

It can't be 1-5 months because it took me 5 months of using all my crystals on refreshes, and all my dailies, and bonuses to get to 85.

Plus you get characters and ships that take months to unlock the farm.

I don't know what kind of math you've done, but it's incorrect.

Yeah a f2p player can catch up only if the hyperdrive bundle player stops playing entirely. Even then it would take months to catch up. It's weird that you think that it's not that much progress.

This is incorrect.
I started in January 21.

If you establish from the beginning a good fleet you can very much stay on top. The crystals you earn in fleet will give you a huge boost.

I was the first in my shard with Negotiator, had the Finalizer as a counter for Exe, was also the first with Profundity and have Levi. Exept for holidays or rare occasions where I was busy, I always get 1st place in fleets and before they removed crystals from squad I was in top 20 eventhough I had hoarding accounts with HDB in my sqad Arena and I also share the fleet shard with spenders and they did not stop playing.

The most important things imho are to get into a good guild, which means having an account that can help the guild and focus from the go on fleets. For that it is quite important to know which route you are going to take with your roster to avoid spreading yourself too thin and therefor needing longer.

I knew I wanted to go for Negotiator, so I started to work for example on Anakin and Snips + their ships etc as soon as I could. Which also gave me a good start for Padme, which helped me in squad Arena.
For dark side ships and characters I concentrated on KRU and other FO ships aswell as Geos(needed her for Padme anyway) because I knew I wanted to go for SLKR as a first GL.
