Little guidance

Mods, mods, mods, mods.

While James has a point, a slightly more helpful thing would be to say that I like the focus you are giving towards legendary event characters. Concerning NS/Empire, I have found that if you can't beat em, join em. You've got a decent empire squad, and that usually wrecks a NS squad, and does well against other empire squads. Thrawn is a long ways off for you but keep at it because he is worth it. CLS seems like a realistic goal if you can manage it. My advice would be to temporarily stop farming phoenix and focus solely on a. Getting Farmboy luke to 7*, b. getting FBL, Leia, STH, and OLK up to 85 and Gear 8 ( 9 would be better), and c. Stockpiling credit and gear. Due to them releasing BB8 and JTR at the same time this event, I believe that will be the same thing they do with R2 and CLS. If that is the case, then you need to stockpile credits and gear to be able to get R2 to 85 and gear 8 or 9 almost immediately after you unlock him. swgoh.gg has a gear by level for R2 so you know what to stockpile.

Awesome - great suggestions. Yea my mods suck so that's one thing I can work on. I've been stockpiling purple ability mats and omegas for R2, but I'll definitely look at the gear requirements too. I have been thinking about switching over to an empire squad, so maybe I'll give it a shot and see how that goes.

The JTR and BB8 joint event was making me a bit nervous since I'm not sure I'll be able to get the CLS team ready if they do the same with R2/CLS, but I'll definitely be going for it.

Thanks!

The only Wiggs Chaze team hanging out in the top 50 in my arena has old Ben as a 5th.

Building for events is always good, cls is if nothing else a simple rancour solo team.

I'm going to pm you a link for our fleet shards discord. Finally I suggest you farm wedges ship simply because you've already invested in the pilot and a level 50 ship would do more on your bench than some ships you have there.

Your empire team is quite ready fir r2d2, you might need a few resets for good rng but that is how palp rolls.
As for your rebel team, I personally would say to keep going with it but replace boba with old Ben. Wiggs can oneshot anyone provided they survive long enough. I ussualy avoid chaze teams in arena because I do not have a reliable taunt dispeller and if you cannot get to wedge fast enough he can beat you on auto. Vader always starts with force crush which will give your wiggs a step up. But the most important thing is MODA. I suggest you stop all cantina related activities and focus on mods. You need at least 5 speed arrows and at least speed secondaries for wedge. I am on phone so I will write more after the weekends. Once again, ALL IN ON MODS

Not strictly true.

True, but at his lebel wiggs can do some serious damage, and if biggs gets his ability off, someone dies,I can guarantee that.

Move the cross from TFP to Wedge.
Move the cross from Vader to Boba.
Move the triangle from Vader to Biggs/Wedge.
Move protection cross/triangle to Baze (at higher gearlevels on Chaze switch to health).

Yes, your rebel will still struggle against EP/Empire, but you should have no problem with NS team.
