Jtr or cls?

Which of the characters needed for both do you already own?

CLS is very much viable everywhere (not as much for sith raid though I guess). I think toons needed for him are a lot quicker to farm than the ones you need for JTR. For that reason I’d go get CLS first.

I have r2, leia and han for cls, and i have rey and finn for jtr, while i have fo team ready to obtain bb8.
I understand vets are a harder farm than old ben and luke, but is it worth it considering luke fell off in arena due to palpatine and vader updates?

If your guild is ready or close to ready for hSTR go for JTR. If not go for CLS. (Almost) fully maxed CLS, Zolo, R2, Chaze is a pretty ok counter against Palp meta. JTR, R2, BB8, Chaze might also work against current meta (never tried).

Pretty sure based on what I've read on the vets + how easy it can be to farm Luke (farmboy) and old ben, think they are both on 8 energy nodes, they would be a quicker farm. I'm about to finish old ben and only started farming him 3 weeks ago although I already had him 4*.

I use JTR lead with CLS BB8 raid Han and R2 and beat palp lead pretty easily. They are both game changers really.

JTR R2 BB8 is holding ok if you look at the meta report. Variants don't include Chaze though, they're too easy to deal with now. It's usually GK + 1, either Thrawn, CLS, or Han. Looks like some Scav Rey in place of GK too.

I use GK Thrawn and went from top 200 to top 50 overnight (managed to hit 20 when I had time over the weekend). CLS teams are a cakewalk, other JTR teams are easy as long as my BB8 is faster, and EP teams are generally easy as long as my BB8 can go before Vader. The one team I seem to not be able to beat is NS, or really anyone with MT, as her plague eats away at me and I can't get rid of it. I haven't tried much Rex yet.

I sit in the top 20 between payouts and can take 1st with my CLS squad. I run zzzCLS, zRHan, zzOB, zzR2, and zzThrawn.

The quicker farm would be CLS and would be my first suggestion. Still viable in a lot of modes and great in LS TB, HPit, HAAT and can be used a little in Sith

The Vets farm is quite long and while your gearing CLS etc you could start on the 3 month farm of vets (assuming not many refreshes and starting from 0 shards)

I still use cls team (cls r2 han solo thrawn gk) all gear 12 with 3 g12 gears, fully zetaed except thrawn's unique. Yeah this team can't rule the shard anymore like in august 2017 but it still can beat pretty much any other team lineups in the shard. I've even beat a traya team (palp, thrawn, sith trio, all gear 12 except 5* Gear 11 traya, fully zetaed and omegaed)
Hardest enemies are those with very very good mod sets. Like +130 speed thrawn. But they are still beatable depending on rng. And there are only 2~3 such players in my shard so usually I can climb to 3~5th with no problem (all win) and take 1~3extra trials to take nr 1. Or 2. (Since I and another player with same payout time take turns to take 1 on rotation)

I usually spend 50 crystal for arena attempt refresh everyday

(Some days when my rank is below 2nd is either: 1) I was too busy 2) I fell to 5~6th before my rank was submitted on swgoh.gg, but still after the actual payout. The .gg rank actually reveals my rank at (my payout time+7min)

Sure everyone else above has been talking sense...

Both are end-game characters.

You're likely to be able to get CLS first.


So do so - he's great :)
