Messed up at the beginning, should I start over?

Been playing since a couple weeks before Christmas. Had no idea about the forums or strategy, I was playing for fun and getting characters we liked from the franchise. Well now I am way in the hole and getting waaaay behind the curve in Arena and GW is a crap shoot.

I have 32 toons and it is a mixup of characters. Most are ones me and my kids liked so I got them. I didnt start going after gear and stars until a short while ago and I am getting killed in Arena and elsewhere.

My Arena rank used to be as high as the low 300's but now I keep getting knocked into the 600's or even 700's very quickly. What makes me think I should give up is that there are now a lot of teams of 7*, gear 7 or 8, level 70 toons that are still in the 500's! They may not be a full 7* but they have up to 25,000 power and are still in the 400-600 range.

My top squad has 21,000 in power... see where I am getting? All my fault, 100% just dont know if I can ever compete even grinding it out.

Current "good" toons - all level 62-64 now. (I am level 70 in game)
Sid - 6*, gear 8
Lumi - 6*, gear 7
Opress - 6*, gr7
Poggle - 5*, gr8
GS - 5*, gr8
JC - 5*, gr7
RP - 5*, gr7
Phasma, 5*, gr7 (most of the way to 6* but having GW finish issues)
QGJ, almost 5*, gr7
Dooku - 4*, gr8
Kylo 4*, gr7
DV - 4*, gr7
88 - 4*, gr7
86 - 4*, gr6
Han - 4*, gr7
Poe - 4* gr7

I do have 10M in credits and 2500-ish droids to bring a few up to 70, but what few and if I do will that really help at all? Almost all of those top 10-12 toons have level 6 abilities as well.

I am F2P obviously. So keep grinding or let my kids take over this iPad and start up a new game on my Android with a new perspective of how this game works?

  • You should create a new account. Use a droids team to climb arena leaderboard. With lower power team your GW will be easy. After playing for two to three weeks you can then decide what you should do, whether to abandon main account or to keep playing both for fun.
  • Well I just got slaughtered in Arena. I was up to 360 about 40 minutes ago. Just checked and I was knocked all the way down to 590!! Only had one more chance at it and went for the highest rank I couod to get the next tier in prizes. Got slaughtered with RNG going bad. Way too many dodges and Dooku was double stunning every chance. He was a lowly 4* hitting double and a stun every chance and his lightening double stunned every turn. RP never went, Lumi went once before dead.
  • I'm down to 5M in credits. I leveled up the top guys and also geared up two. All Level 70 now - Sid (L), Lumi, GS, Poggle, RP.

    I am holding better in the 400-500 range better but RP keeps getting targeted right from the start by the AI and never gets a shot off. He's 5* gear 8. The other 4 are good enough to let me win most battles but I dont know why the AI suddenly changed to target RP. He used to stick around a while.

    I did try QGJ at 4* gear 7 at lead as suggested and it worked out OK. He needs more stars and will be 5* tomorrow. I'll try him again then but I was dropping rank really quick when I left him in there vs. a 6* gear 8 Sid.
