Great guide and important to bear these points in mind, especially if a limited investor or a F2P player. I made several mistakes early on and wish I had planned more.
Some of the mistakes I have been guilty of:
- bought chromium packs and burnt through 15K of gems in double quick time with a lot of trash. I'm no gambler so this was a mistake as it only compels you to try again. I resisted the urge!
- gearing and levelling up too many characters. I wish I had known how hard it is to get the energy, shards and gear at the lower levels and had banked my resources for a core team more. The number of times I've been left with no credits or droids to level up a hero as I've spread everything too thin!
- Planning - Learnt my lesson (see above point) and concentrating on a core of 5 (sid, luminara, dooku, JC and Phasma) with a couple of fast track additions - Kylo Ren and QGJ. Next will be my glass cannons - GS and IG86.
- Hero Packs - I started playing around Christmas and wish I had known then what I know now. At the time there were around 3-4 hero packs and it seemed they would always be there. Wish I had bought the droid and heroine packs at least, but hopefully they will do these 'packs' more often. I like the predictability of knowing exactly what I will get for my investment rather than the lottery chromium packs represent.
- spend crystals wisely - spend on a couple of 50 crystal energy refreshes and 100 on a cantina refresh would be the most sensible way to spend.
Looking to learn a lot more and plan my teams better. Enjoying the game but find the RNG gods are most often against me...
