Hi There. In 40 old father who started this game with my son. Need help playing

As I said it will be hard if he’s not getting GWar cleared and low Arena Currency - so my teams above would take ages...if you definitely won’t go the Phoenix route:
How about something unorthodox using characters from different stores and easier nodes:
This whole idea fails if you can’t reach and 3* Cantina node 3B (Qi’ra)
—> The team I’m suggesting is a Scoundrel team with regenerating Protection thanks to Qi’ra lead. It will let you 3* the credit Heist, and training droid Heist, move up the Arena and clear Galactic War. It’s a mixed lightside/Darkside Team.

Qi’ra (lead) Cantina node 3b
Boba - Cantina Store
Cad Bane - Galactic War
Lando - Cantina node 1e
STHan - Squad Arena Store.

This team has plenty of DPS, stuns, Taunts and Protection recovery. All on easy nodes. What do other people think??
Comments please :)

I have:

max boba 100'/100
young lando 2/25
SThan 26/65

still un opened:
zero qira 0/25
cad bade 27/50

I did open EZRA.. 11/25

I realise that my problem is bad healers.. jedi consular is not very good.
Luminara Unduli is easiet to open 36/50. Worth it?

What you can do and how quickly depends on how many energy refreshes you can do. What is your daily crystal income and are you prepared to supplement it with $$$?

Daily is 200? I really dont know how much comes from dailies.

Not a whole lot to work with. Squad and fleet arenas are the best sources but you have to get high in the rankings which requires a stronger squad / fleet which of course is what you need to work on. Catch-22.

Whatever you do get should go on energy refreshes to speed up your farming. Do not waste crystals buying shards and definitely do not waste them buying shard packs.

I did spend 50EUR, but hopefully not too much... I have learned my lesson about these games and unlimited payments.... with Clash Royale... Game is same no matter how much you pay..

Money can be effective here, if spent on energy refreshes. Each day you can refresh light/dark side energy and mod energy 3x for 50 crystals a time (then cost doubles to 100) and fleet and cantina energy 3x for 100 crystals a time (then cost doubles to 200). The first tier of each is a worthwile investment.

This is why I suggested a single squad based on low nodes with regeneration and the ability to do credit heists and GWar. Not what I’d normally recommend but I think
Qi’ra, Lando (not young lando), Boba, Cad Bane and STH would let him stop sinking?

Thank you for your time. I did manage to complete LVL8 mods (speed) so from now on im able to get speed items as primary. So far I have done my charactes as game suggests in basic mode. I havent had much luck on speed as secondary so far. But hey will come..

About GW. I read that your arena rank means how hard opponents you get in GW? Then I read that your top 5 characters only are counted for... Is there definite information? If its top 5 chars, it just means that i have digged my self pretty big hole... because those chars are not in synergy with each other and are rather poor anyways, execept Boba as leader with his son are killers when boba leads. I have used Jedi couselor, luke farmboy and Kylorenunmasked as support units. My secondary and third pillar is rest and used to make suicide missions for mains squad.

I have used every day for past few weeks all my daily chrystals to refresh those 50,50,100 cantina and light/dark. I did too calculate them best way to get everythig little... Those packs with 6-330 is just robbery (i looked at drop% early on).

My fastest route now seems dark side, because those lightside char are are from shop.
Best one seems to be Royal guard. I can farm him, light/dark/cantina. and second best it TFP.

if you like old school toons..i'd recommend the 'danger zone': biggs and wedge. biggs is farmable in the GW and wedge in the cantina and fleet store....throw in a really fast STHan and 2 toons of choice and you got a good squad.

Biggs is actually available in a Dark Side node, a Cantina node, fleet store and GW store, making him a quick and easy upgrade to farm.

I'm thinking start with:
Boba(L), Farmboy, Vader, Consular, Talia

Speed farm Biggs from all available sources.
Farm STHan in arena store (slower)

Upgrade to:
Boba(L), Farmboy, Vader, Consular, Biggs

Farm Wedge in Cantina and fleet if he shows up there (I think he can).

Upgrade to:
Wedge(L), Boba, Biggs, STHan, Farmboy/Vader

* Wedge lead gives Rebels health regen, Vader self-heals, Boba self-rezzes.
* STHan has taunt, Boba ignores taunt and has AoE ability block, Farmboy has stun, Vader has ability block
* Wedge + Biggs give great DPS and either Farmboy or Vader can add more

Kind of a riff on my arena team but working with what he has.

Spare regular energy can either go to gear or towards building up an Empire squad.

I think A go with BIggs+Wedge

Unless I'm misreading what you put - that's not how mods work.

The different challenges give you mods of a certain set - each set of 2 (or 4) mods confers a bonus when complete.

A speed arrow (the only speed primary mod) can be of any set. It doesn't just come from the speed mods challege.

These days they removed the faction limitations off of the challenges - so you can pursue whatever sets you want. But back in the day the only one that was really open was the health one - which is why everyone told newer players to just farm health mods.

Also, please keep in mind that this game isn't about instant gratification. I played without any resources (never went on the forums), for about a year and made some poor farming choices. I'm in my 3rd year now and actually really enjoy the grind.. You won't always get the toons you want immediately, and it will take time to get to end game activities, you just need to enjoy the experience as you go. If you're not enjoying the "grind" maybe the game isn't for you.

Take the advice on this forum and you'll be knocking down GW in no time. I've been able to enjoy the game as a f2p player and be effective in raids for end game. It took me a little longer than most, but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

I will. I have been playing Clash royale fo 3 years also and now im at max.. it takes time.... =)

BTW. I do have set combos on all main character. luke and boba: 2x crit change + 4 x crid damage (or was is vice versa?)
