Level 82 and lost...

Hi all,

Really enjoy the board and all the wise, and not so wise, words here. So many of you know this stuff inside out. Me, I'm a beginner. Level 82. Current Arena rank 592. Finish GW 9 times out of 10. In the last few days picked up a few nice toons - Kylo Ren, Emperor Palp, Chirrut.

My arena team is the dull but workable- Wiggs, Ack, STH and Boba.

In GW I tend to start with a Dark Side team, then switch to a Jedi team and finish with my Arena team.

I'm enjoying the game very much but, like so many I guess, need a bit of wisdom and guidance from some of you much, much more experienced hands.

I appreciate everyone's busy but, if you could spare a few minutes to have a look here - https://swgoh.gg/u/coastaljames/collection/ I'd appreciate it very much.

I guess the obvious questions would be who should I be farming, who should I be ditching? What sort of teams do you think I should be focusing on to help with all aspects of the game. Basically, a few pointers would be really appreciated.

Many, many thanks.

James.


  • Rebels, then rebels, and a bit more rebels. After find some time to get 5 7* empire so you can get r2(rebel).

    Thank you. Which Rebels? Ones I currently have or ones I should farm?



  • Primary concern should be income:
    - credits - scoundrel team. Lando, STH are a must for crossover potential.
    - gear - start with a good rancor team, or multiple teams dependent on your guild and how they run it.
    - gear2 - haat teams, if you are not in an haat guild you should get 1 or 2 teams ready to at least be able to participate.
    - arena - primary source of crystals. All shard dependent but you need to figure out what team you can make that will help you climb the ladder.

    Solid toons to look at
    - resistance team - haat, TB, GW (for now), and all LS missions
    - solid jedi team - Finish yoda, haat, TB
    My favorites

    • JKA
    • Aayla
    • Ahsoka
    • QGJ (good in beginner rancor team)
    • GK (later)
    • zarriss ( good early game without zeta, zeta is great later game)


    Phoenix - thrawn, TB. Ezra is a solid jedi too.


    That should keep you busy for the next year or so. :wink:

    Why is this „for now”? Do you know something about the resistance in the future will not be as effective in GW as it is now? Or am I just paranoid because I just started to farm resistance nowadays? :)
    (Not because the GW by the way, for me R1 works well enough.)

    I've had 7 teams that could solo gw , slowly they fall out and I work a new one the same is bound to happen to resistance . I would hate to see what gw looks like then
  • Thanks for everyone's input. Really appreciate it.

    Kyno, in particular, thank you. Some questions about your reply, please excuse any questions you might think stupid!

    1. So farm up STH and Lando, yes?

    2. Can you see an obvious quality Rancor team out of my roster please?

    3. Same for HAAT? What team of my roster would you use?

    4. So, in regards Jedi - bump up the ones I have and work towards the ones I don't have on your list yeah?


    Dark Helmet - your top 10 rebels I either own or should acquire?


    Many thanks, as ever.

    Sound advice, there. Focus on income of resources and gear. That will help you the most over time.

    Make sure to have a scoundrel team that manages the highest tier of credit heist. You will need those credits. And yes Lando is the MVP here.

    Rancor raid team would not be my primary goal right now — as long as your guild does heroic pit raids regularly.

    For hAAT you have your rebels almost ready (again, Lando and possibly Leia will help) for phase 2 or 4 and with TFP and RG at 7* you will have the base for a strong team for phase 3 under EP lead. That should at least make it possible for you to join a heroic AAT team.

    If you bring your TFP to 5* you will have your empire team ready to unlock R2D2 next time he will be available. He is a great toon for the arena.

    (Yes, TFP, Lando and RG are all farmed in the cantina, so you will need to prioritize).

    Until then you might experiment with Lando instead of Ackbar in your arena team. Ackbar is mainly used for his leader ability and I see, you prefer Wedge as leader. Try climbing as high as possible in arena. The fun starts at top—200 which will ensure you a daily income of 150 crystals (including dailies and GW) which is enough for 3 energy refreshes og 50 crystals each. (Again: focus on income :—) )

    Mods:
    Sorting your mods should give you an instant improvement in the arena. Put your best mods on your arena team. Focus on speed. Make sure that your ST Han is fast enough to move before the enemy takes his first turn. If necessary use Ackba/Lando as leader for the speed bonus. 2 of your 4 speed arrows are not even on your arena team. Buy any mod in mod shipments that has a speed secondary stat. If green it's guaranteed to increase when upgraded. Otherwise you will need some luck (this is where credits will help as well).

    Personally I would prioritize this over Phoenix and resistance for now. You can farm them a bit 'on the side' when it doesn't interfere with the above. However, Ezra is a great toon with his multiple faction tags and a great attacker.
