Need advice on what to focus on

Hey, I've been playing for a couple years now and have some decent characters levelled now. I feel really stalled out though because I haven't really put a strong team together. For the longest time I was working with a really random team (Mando, Boba, Kuill, Mace, Darth). I have come around to understanding that you need a team that works really well together. Since I already had Mando and Boba levelled really well I thought I'd go bounty hunter. To that end I'm working on Bossk now as a lead for that team. But I don't want to invest heavily and find out I made the wrong choice on what to focus on.

I haven't won Arena battles in what feels like years at this point. I just set on auto at this point for the crystals since there is no point in trying I feel. I'd like to get competitive. Can any veterans look at my lineup and make a suggestion based on what I have for teams to focus on?

Thanks!
  • Hmmmmmmmmmm

    There's certainly no reason not to get your BH up and running. And Bossk is definitely a better lead than you have. BH are pretty difficult to use though, as they can get outrun badly by turn meter trains.

    So they have to be fast and they have to be well modded, with the characters having the correct turn order. This won't be easy for you. As modding looks to be a bit of a problem. For example you have broken mod sets on Bossk and Vader you've 6 dotted speed mods that don't have speed as secondary bonuses. So modding in the future needs some work.

    The main thing you need to look at, is trying to put together some big teams. Legendaries and Galatic Legendaries. These teams make and break you. You have a Commander Luke Skywalker sitting down in the lower echelons of your roster. You need to rectify that!

    So maybe get that BH team water tight. Work on your CLS. Get Han and chew/3po relic level. Then use the BH to unlock Chewie. If you can get a good working CLS team, and you can see how good that team is, there will definitely be a happiness payout!

    Main thing though, you need to start thinking big! End game characters and end game teams.
  • Are you in a guild that’s doing HAAT on sim and also completing HSTR raid? If not and you aren’t “wedded” to your guild —> move guilds.
    This will get you GK, Traya and Guild Currency.

    Team wise - you need complete teams and some achievable targets! And i’d suggest working on characters with ships where possible —> stronger fleets will help you in Fleet Arena, GAC, TW and TB.

    1) BHs - since your BHs are pretty developed —> I’d do the following
    —> Bossk to Relic and farm his ship! Hounds Tooth is the best Tank in the game. Plus it’s also on a node that will give you Jango shards, and Stun Cuffs.
    —> Farm Cad Bane & IG88s ships…. You don’t need to gear the pilots at this stage.
    —> Final BH to gear would be Jango (who you will get from farming Hounds Tooth). The alternative would be to gear Cad Bane instead since he has a ship.
    TEAM = Bossk, Greef, Mando, Boba and Jango/Cad Bane

    This gives a balanced team. The 4 ships will unlock MFalc

    2) Empire/Sith
    —> EP, Vader, Thrawn, TFP, Tarkin/RG
    Again thinking —> balanced team and Empire Fleet.
    Efficiency wise if you can get Chimaera Capital Ship unlocked then gear RGuard and if not Tarkin.
    For Fleet your aim will be
    Chimaera (Thrawns) or Executrix (Tarkins) —> you will be gearing Thrawn irrespective for EP/Vader
    —> you also need EPs Shuttle — a slow farm, no hurry - which uses EP and RGuard
    —> you also need Tie Bomber at higher stars.
    —> Gauntlet can be low gear as it’s there mainly for its reinforce ability and cleanse.

    3) Rebels
    No rush here but the targets are again based round usefulnesses (ABattles, GAC) and Fleet
    Team 1
    CLS, Han, Chewie, Chewpio and R2D2* (switching to C3PO in the future)
    Team 2
    MM, Biggs, Wedge, Cara, +1 Rebel Fighter e.g. Hoth Rebel Scout
    —> eventually you will change the lineup

    The best H1 Rebel Fleet (currently)
    Biggs, Bistan’s UWing and Han’s MFalc as starting lineup

    4) Separatists
    —> Keep it simple and finish your Geos….
    This will unlock Padme and give you 3 pilots (Spy, Soldier and Sun Fac) + let’s you help farm Wat shards..


    Obviously you can’t do all of this at once! I’ve based the 4 areas on your current roster ( You have BHs, CLS, Cara, Geos, Vader ).

  • Worth adding - I’m not joking when I put Hoth Rebel Scout on the MM +1
    —> the eventual MMothma lineup = MM, Pao! With his Zeta and Hoth Rebel Scout as the core TM engine of the team. The other two spots being for Kyle and Cara.
    —> HRScout also is needed on a few nodes in Hoth LSTB. Do NOT bother gearing Hoth Rebel Soldier…..he’s awful.
  • Thanks a million Shadowscream. I know that must have taken a little time to look over and provide your advice on. Helping out a stranger on the internet is very nice of you. I will focus as above :)
