Looking for advice on direction

Long term, guys - definitely finish the squads he’s currently working on first. Galactic Legends are the longest of long terms. Just work on them slowly on the side.

Non-competitive? Rebels are a fine squad that can still more than hold their own against all but maybe 5 squads. Empire is still a staple counter to many GAC teams.

And you seem to really be doubting they’ll release a rebel Galactic Legend. I think it’s an inevitability.

Ok Edward

rebels and empire are garbage right now. giving someone "advice" bc maybe someday down the road after the FO/Res GL's a GL master luke could maybe come even tho iirc they've never even teased it is not good advice.

edit: it's a resource management game. but then again you want new meh characters so guyshrugging.emoji

I get it, it’s easy to paint me as a crazy doomsday sayer with a cardboard sign on the side of the road “Jedi Luke cometh!”

None of you are wrong, especially @littleMAC77, you’re absolutely right about the majority of the rebels being total trash. At most I’d say be prepared, Star but don’t gear the OT guys, and relic only the best and most iconic rebels, most of which he’s close to already.

It might be bad advice, it’s just my opinion, and it’s just one viewpoint. All I can say is that I’ve played this game for a long time, and chasing current metas (in the case of GL Kylo/Rey, soon-to-be metas) as a free to player will almost always leave you in the dust.

The only way to truly get ahead of the curve is to have already built up something that hasn’t even been announced yet. It’s a big risk, but it’s the only way to get such a reward. It just so happens that when General Skywalker dropped I was already sitting on clones purely because I liked them.

Now, that was just luck, and this just is an educated guess, but if you’re a more casual player (the kind willing to step away from the game for months at a time) and you want to play in the arena with the big boys? This is the way.

I'm all for playing the long game, but it’s possible to look too far ahead. You still have to be competitive in GA and TW, you still have to be able to place high in raids, you still have to be able to be a contributor to get into a good guild. Missing out on rewards in the present will slow down preparation for the future anyway.
