Howdy - first post. I started playing SWGOH when it launched and stopped playing 4(?) years ago when I couldn’t get 5 jedis in time to fully unlock Yoda. I came back a few weeks ago. I was bombarded with a billion features and systems. I also watched a couple of videos and read posts here to realize that most of my characters suck :)My plan is/has been to:1) Develop a 5th Jedi to 7* to get Yoda - I went with Ahsoka based on where I had her and I just got it2) Farm the Phoenix Squad- This is next, I've been doing some in parallel 3) Get Thrawn, maybe Palpatine4) Build a decent Empire squad5) Build a better Jedi teamThoughts?My main Dark Side team is nightsisters, light side Jedi. I’m obviously clueless about mods, fleet and guilds. Learning that slowly. I would really appreciate if somebody could check my roster and let me know if you identify any potential good teams I’m missing. Feel free to make fun of my 7* Koth and 6*Jedi Guardian :)https://swgoh.gg/p/153658565/

dude just start a new account really. you would be so far behind and in a very old shard

I played SWGOH back when it launched, when the health bars were curvy. :smile: For some reason jedi knight revan is EVERYWHERE. So if you are looking for a jedi squad, that is a way to go. This is the team comp for Jedi at the moment: Mods are quite fun, if you want some just good basic builds, go to a person that has mods (level 50 and up) and click on the mod thing. Then, in that menu, go to advanced, and it should show an auto fill for mods. This should help, but just keep experementing. For ships, I've just started, but from what I can tell it seems to be this for the capital ships:tarken: all about offence, but not good at defenceAckbar: Great at keeping your ships on top, but mostly just buffing your own ships. Mace: good at debuffing enemy ships, but mainly support. you seem to need strong ships for him. guilds are hard to find an active guild, the one i'm in a has a couple very high level player that just kinda exist, but gives advise. I haven't seen that many nightsister team comps anywhere on competitive right now, but that doesn't mean they are not good. The meta where I am at seems to be a Nute gunray sepratist team comp right now, really annoying. :/. O well I hope this helps. It does! Thanks for the detailed write up. That Jedi team seems overwhelming but I guess I’ll take it one step at a time :) the sad part is that the characters are not very iconic. Is it still worth getting Phoenix?"Nadebotfm;c-2011574" wrote:dude just start a new account really. you would be so far behind and in a very old shardWhat does that mean?

Please note: RESTARTING WILL NOT HELP IN FLEET. In fleet you are not paired with people who installed the game on the same day you did. Your shard is full of people who unlocked fleet arena the same day you did. Since fleet arena didn't exist when you suspended your game, you won't have to compete against anyone who installed the game near when you did. However, you will be at a serious disadvantage in Squad Arena for quite a while - basically until the meta turns over 2-3 times and the new meta is one you were prepared for because you skipped one or two metas before it. You'll have to decide if it's worth it to you to start over. I wouldn't, but that's just me. If you stay with your current account, you'll be at an advantage in some ways in Fleet, b/c you are already level 76 and other people starting fleet are level 60. Your level advantage can help you there for a bit, although not as much as you'll lose by not having the right pilot toons geared...if you don't have the right pilot toons geared. ...and I just looked, and you don't have the right pilot toons geared. Okay, it might be useful to you to start a new account. But if you're just playing for fun, then I wouldn't want to duplicate the work you've already done - even if it's only a couple months worth of work, that's still 2 months closer to the cool endgame content than you'd be if you start over. You'll have to decide if that's worth it to you. As for what to work on, I've made previous guides, but the main points are: Phoenix first. You want all 6 and gearing them is tedious (they require a large amount of Stun Guns, for instance), but is incredibly helpful in fleet - the Phoenix ships are very, very good and require you to gear the Phoenix squad to use them. Jedi next - Bastila and Jolee Bindu are your foci here. You've already got other jedi, so just grab those two. Use Phoenix to get Thrawn and Palpatine. Flesh out Empire who will be very useful in Hoth TB (you won't be ready for Geo TB for a good long while). The best strategy for this is to get a good Imperial Trooper squad together, but use your ITs with Palpatine in the short run before you have enough for 2 separate empire squads. This means getting General Veers finshed right away, and zeta his unique as soon as you have 2 other 7-star ITs. Snowtrooper and Range Trooper are your best-bet easy farms for 2nd and 3rd troopers. In addition to ITs, get to 7* and give gear to both Darth Vader and Tie Fighter Pilot. Whenever you have a chance, work on Bounty Hunters. They aren't the very first things you need, but they are very useful for a large number of events that provide important resources (Galactic Bounties, Credit Heist, etc.). Since you have to have Bossk, IG-88, Boba, and Cad Bane to get the Millennium Falcon, you might as well make those 4 of your first BH toons. Since you need 4 bounty hunter ships (Hound's Tooth, Xanadu Blood, Slave 1, and IG-2000) to get the Falcon and since Jango comes free with one of them (Hound's Tooth) that gives your starting BH squad. Unfortunately, IG-88 is less useful in BH squads than elsewhere (esp being paired up with Grievous) and he does very poorly in the very important Chewbacca event. For that reason, you are going to want Dengar as a 6th bounty hunter. Dengar is incredibly useful in Chewbacca's event and lowers the amount of gear (and/or the number of restarts) needed to complete the event by quite a bit. He's also easier to gear than many toons (though IG-88 is as well). BUT... with all that said, if the game isn't fun, there's no point in playing. So while Phoenix => Jedi => Empire => BH is a very efficient way to go about things, if you want to do something else because that's more fun to you, then do the fun thing. Always choose the fun thing. It is way too easy for the game to feel like a job with all the long-term work needed to collect and gear characters, so anything you do to make things more exciting and rewarding emotionally/personally is always going to be more important than the things you can do to shave 7.2% off the farm time of a toon you never really liked in the first place. Take care, and never feel hesitant to ask more questions.

I don’t want to do a whole new squad for rancor but I’d like to have a chance :) Would Ewok elder, teebo, TF Pilot, phasma, be a good foundation for a rancor squad while I wait for CLS / Han?

TFP is good because of Tenacity Down, but everyone else should be focussed on Turn Meter Removal, if possible. Teebo is AMAZING for this, b/c Teebo can remove 100% TM on a basic attack, so long as Teebo is stealthed.

Some of the easiest-to-farm toons with good TM Remoal:

Cad Bane (Remove 50% on special)
Clone Sergeant (Remove 50% on special)
Clone Wars Chewie (55% chance for 50% removal on Basic)
FO Executioner (Special removes 50%)
GA Thrawn (EXCELLENT toon for Rancor - Fracture removes TM and cuts speed 50%)
GM Tarkin (Special attack removes TM = Potency)
GM Yoda (Removes 70% on special, but b/c Yoda gains lots of TM this happens often)
Greedo (Special removes TM = Critical Chance)
Logray (Removes 100% on special)
Magmatrooper (Special attack removes 30% or 60% TM)
Qui Gon (65% to remove 30% on basic)
Tusken Raider (55% chance for 50% removal on Basic)

Fairly easy to farm, but not recommended:
Darth Vader (Only on Lead, and not reliable unless zeta'd, which really isn't worth it these days)
Old Ben (Special has 80% chance to remove 60% TM, but it has a 5-turn cool down, so not recommended)
Ventress (Lead is like Darth Vader's, and similarly undesirable right now ... though Ventress' zeta eventually becomes useful in the Heroic Sith raid)

So, Teebo and TFP are necessary for the squad, but 3 other TM removing toons are your next priorities.

If you wanted to kill the rancor very early, the easiest way to do it is to zeta Vader and make an all-Empire team with TFP, Tarkin, Thrawn, and Magma behind Vader. But Vader's leadership is a very dubious use of a zeta. Again, whatever is the most fun is what you should do, but zetas being a finite resource and with so many other zetas being both more powerful AND more fun, I'd give this option a pass.

If your only about arena then yes starting over is the way, not everyone cares about that part of the game and so play it for fun or to collect the characters they want and go through all the other aspects of the game.

I never gave a crap about arena but I play it twice a day for my daily goal.

Thank you!

I don’t necessarily want to do it solo right away, just have a chance :)

My best toon now is GMY so that’s great news. I’ll put him with Teebo, Bane, TFP and Clone Chewie. When I unlock Thrawn I’ll likely swap him in for Chewie.
