@crzydroid, you said:
I think that quote assumes that I win, correct? I do not think that you get Squad Arena Tokens if you lose (but Please correct me if I am wrong, like I fervently Hope that I am), and Lately, I win one battle out of the (what is it, five) that get allotted before Squad Arena cooldown period. And that is if I am Extremely Lucky...
By the way, my Squad Arena “rank”, which was about #78 last time we talked, is now #140, and dropping by the minute. All the battles that I do not lose, the A. I. is handily losing for me; (so now even fighting on “auto” is not saving me), so I am afraid that I can no longer rely on Squad Arena Tokens to farm Tarkin.
I cannot even remember the last time I earned any Squad Tokens. But since I can farm for Talia shards in both Cantina and Regular energy fights, (and I have been doing Really well with that), I plan to have her Sixth star very soon now, and then... "To Infinity; and Beyond!"
Galactic War is also suffering, by the way. I used to always win at least Ten battles before my “A” team gave up the ghost. Now, the A.I. have ramped up their defense to where I only win five battles, (only enough to win 200 GW Tokens, and some other stuff), and then they bring out the heavy guns, endlessly regenerating Zombie Nightsisters, etc.; the “whole enchilada”, and shut me down.
I truly think that my only lifeline is going to be farming Talia, getting that 7* character and getting into some Raids quick, so that I can start Earning in my Guild and get some Materials and Loot, which is why I joined a Guild (on Everyone’s advice) in the first place. Oh and by the way I do not think that “Talia is awesome”, as you suggested, I have no Idea why she has five stars, it is just that some characters seemed to drop shards more often when I did activities, like fights and cantina farming for Ability Materials, and stuff, and she was one of them.
By the way, please do not think that I am “arguing” or denigrating your excellent advice in any way, I am just explaining that while it is excellent advice, it no longer fits my unique circumstance of just being too weak in fighting ability at the moment to take advantage of it. But hopefully Soon that will change.
And thanks for the info about healing and about Lando, and for taking the time to do All of those complicated equations to help me out, I appreciate your support!
P.S. just before I posted this (I write everything in a Word document first now, in order to cut down on “Edits”), I lost All of my Arena Fights; I did not even have a Chance. Here is the latest lineup that butchered me; Hera, Chopper, Ezra Bridger, Zebediah “Zeb” Orrelios, Kanaan Jarrus. Chopper kept “taunting” to pull attacks away from the others, and when I Did finally kill him....He revived!
By the way, through that new “First Order Execution Promotion” that just opened up at level #54, I got enough shards to get and promote a First Order Execution character to three stars, with a Gear level of VI!
Because of the enormous materials needed, It would take Forever to get his Gear level any higher, and shards are now only available “from data cards in the Store”, so this is the level that he will be stuck at for a while, but, hopefully I can make a difference with the level that he is at now? In this game, you seem to need four stars to make a difference!
Oh and so you know, This is what awaits for my next battle; notice the First one? Ouch-ie!

“Well, let's say they are both exactly at 5*. That's 185 shards. For Tarkin, that's 14,800 arena currency, and based on your rank, you are getting 600-625 a day, plus your 200 from activity. That's 18-19 days.”
