https://swgoh.gg/u/brotherkhong/I currently run a 7-star Wiggs/Lando/SThan/Boba team in arena. I was ok at getting above rank 100 until lately when i started dropping ranks faster than I can gain them. This is probably because all my toons are stuck at Gear 6/7/8 while starving for Mk6 Chiewab Hypo SyringesI am doing fairly well in Fleet Arena, being able to maintain above rank 20, sometimes above rank 10 using Boba/Wiggs/TFP/FOTFP as my main pilots. I am continuing to work on TFP and FOTFP because i would like to stay in crystal-able rank but the two of them also require Mk6 Chiewab Hypo Syringes.I am having doubts about continuing to build my Wiggs arena team since anti-rebel empire just got significantly buffed and the relative ease to get EmpPalpatine/Vader/Thrawn. But I have no idea how to phase out of Wiggs. Other notable toons (or lack of):-7 star Poe - I use his ship for reinforcement4 star Finn/Rey/ResTrooper - Building them up for speed mod farming (with R2D2)6 star Tarkin/TFP, 5 star EmpPalpatine/Vader/Royal Guard - Preparing for R2D2, able to farm potency mods4 star Rex/Jyn - halfhearted farming for squad arenano phoenix - i focused on scoundrel-wiggs for credit heist and biggs' shipAny recommendations on how I should proceed from here to help my arena rank and try to maintain fleet arena rank? Thank you in advance for your advice!

If you want to keep your fleet arena rank long term, you better start thinking about thrawn. You’ll need Phoenix to unlock him.

Decent Arena team but you need much better gear.Farm an Empire team (Palp lead, Vader, Moff, TIE pilot and Royal Guard) to get R2 and replace Boba or Lando with him.Farm Leia and replace the remaining either Boba or Lando.Farm Old Ben and replace STHan with him.

Solid advice from both CostalJames and Snarzenal. Furthermore, if you sort your mods out, you could hang in there for a few more weeks, while you farm as suggested. The filtering option on swgoh.gg is a great tool:https://swgoh.gg/u/brotherkhong/mods/?slot_2=1I would focus on having fast biggs and ST Han for early tripple shot and taunt/TM gain — and if course speed arrows for your entire team.

Furthermore, I noticed, that you only did 22 raids so far. That's not a lot. Make sure, that your guild raid frequently — at least 2 of each raid weekly, and heroic tier Rancor pit. The level of activity in your guild is a key factor. Progressing through the various tiers of raids and reward tiers in TB/TW will follow naturally.

... and one final note:Try beating as many tiers if mod challenges as you can with your current roster. Just once is enough. If you beat the final tiers of both the health and defense mods challenges, you will see better mods appearing in the mod shipments. Two of the Phoenix toons are jedi, which helps.

One character you have at 4* that no one has told you to farm who is great is Rex. Rex is the anti-debuff character who keeps becoming meta and I am already seeing him again on my shard (02/2016) against Empire toons and JTR teams. He cleans debuffs, gives your team tenacity up, and if he is the lead, grants time meter to everyone if an ally suffers a critical hit. The best thing is his lead is not faction specific, which will allow you to mix and match characters in your squad while you build faction specific teams.

Thanks Sunnie 1987! So based on your advices, here’s the farming plan I’ve come up with, toons listed in order of priority. Is it an ok plan?

Galactic War:
Zeb
K2SO

Cantina:
TFP (he’s already 6 star, might as well max him first)
Finn (bring him to 5 star to do speed mod challenge with poe, rey, trooper and r2d2)
Ezra
Hera
Old Ben

Cantina Shipments
Chopper
Cassian’s U-Wing

Arena Shipments
Tarkin (he’s already 6 star, might as well max him)
Kanan Jarrus
Cassian
Leia

Guild Shop - nab when they pop up
Rex
Jyn
Resistance Trooper (only up to 5 star)
Scavenger Rey (only up to 5 star)

Fleet Shipments - nab when they pop up
FOTP
Vader
Tie Advanced
Slave 1
Ghost
Phantom II

Fleet Shipments - nab if have more than 3000 Fleet Shipment currency:
Biggs X-Wing
Wedge X-Wing
FO Tie Fighter
Imp Tie Figher

Guild Event Shop - nab when they pop up
Ghost
Phantom II

Guild Event Shop - nab if have more than 3000 Guild Shipment currency:
Wedge X-Wing
Imp Tie Figher

Hard Node

Not a bad plan at all. However, I have a few comments:

Scavenger Rey:
To spend your ressources cleverly, I would farm her from the Millenium Falcon hard node only. You will want to farm the Falcon at some point anyway.

Fleet Shipments:
Don't forget the rare ships and toons like:

Tie advanced
Slave 1 (you have Boba already)
Rex
Vader
Chirrut
(Secondarily Scimitar and Bistan's U—wing.)

You will want them at some point anyway, they are slow farms and particularly Tie Advanced will do well to 4* Executrix on your way to the zeta challenge.

Cantina:
I would delay farming Finn and only farm him from his hard node as long as you have other things to farm in cantina nodes.

Hard nodes:
I would add:

RG (for R2D2's event)
Millenium falcon and Finn (as explained above)
FOTP (primarily for his ship)

Yes, there are hundreds of options, I know :—).
But making a plan like you did is definately a good thing.

Good luck on your journey :—)
