Grand Arena Issues?

Hey everyone, I am fairly new to SWGOH, I joined in May 2023, and I am finally nearing the point when I'll hit level 85. I have a couple of teams that are good, but I am not sure I'll be ok enough for Grand Arena. I'm certain there Is a ton of rewards that help me progress from Grand Arenas and now the panic is setting in.

Teams I think are alright:

First Order : Leader - KYU, Phasma, First Order Officer, Sith Trooper, Kylo Ren
Phoenix : Leader - Hera, Zeb, Kanan, Chopper, Ezra
Empire (weaker) : Leader - Palpatine, Darth Vader, Moff Gideon, Grand Moff Tarkin, Stormtrooper
Rebel (CLS Event Team - weaker) : Leader : Han Solo (Stormtrooper), R2-D2, Princess Leia, FarmBoy Luke, Old Ben

My ships are not as great as I would like them, so I'm aware I need to work on them.
If anyone can tell me how Grand Arena works in the early leagues, that would be great, and any tips and tricks are welcome. Thank you all in advance.

    a whole lotta stuff


    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.

    I have been playing game for 7 weeks so far.



    Awesome..... Post your GG


    I never created one.
    It’s unaffiliated to the game.
    It could be a site filled with hackers.


    You don't have to
    That's irrelevant
    It's not
