Need direction advice

Hi, I’ve been playing a few months now and I’m kind of at a loss as to where to go next. I’ve been working on building my Padme team, and they’re up to g11-12 except gk who I just unlocked, but they just seem to have no hope against the hordes of JKR teams in my fairly young shard. I’m trying to decide if I should continue gearing this Padme team or abandon it to build the jkr team or build a cls team. I have just unlocked cls and han but no chewie or Threepio, so that’s a long way off. Looking forward to getting GG and Shaak Ti teams going, but they’re still a little out of reach for my fleet. Here’s my ally code:
Thanks!
  • Ships-wise, @TheJEFFtm said it very well. Keep up the Geos/Hound's Tooth fleet, which should keep you within the top 50. Then I'd go for Malevolence, which will carry you to the very top. Does your guild do Geo TB?

    I agree with continuing with the Padme team, especially since you have unlocked GK. Putting gear into JKA and Ahsoka will help with fleets once you can unlock Kenobi's capital ship. If you get both his and GG's, then you have the top two capital ships. Just need the two droid ships to go with GG's capital.

    Going for GAS is also a good idea over switching to JKR. For a CLS team, you really need both Chewie's and C-3PO, which aren't the easiest to get when you are farming other stuff. CLS, Han, Chewie's and C-3PO are a good counter to a Padme team.

    Since you are on a newer shard, you will probably find the first one to a GL will rule for a while. You can research counters. I would bet people would go with SLKR first, but that is probably a ways off unless you have some big spenders.
  • Interesting. GAS definitely seems like a bigger step up in power than jkr. I assume it’ll take a few months to get there, but when I do I’ll be in a great place with a strong padme, gg, and clone teams, and be ready to start the GL slog.

    @Old_Ben12345 yes? my guild does Geo tb.

    Ok good; being in a good guild is so so helpful.

    First off - edit out the player ID immediately, your account can be stole with that!
    We need the 9 digit ally code formatted like this123-456-789


    How would knowing a player’s id allow someone to steal an account?
  • I agree! My old guild was strong on paper but half the guild was inactive. Definitely progressing faster now.

    Considering your team, you seem ftp or close to it. So first, accept that you’ll have a very, very hard time in arena against paying customers. It will alleviate with time. If you want a nice crystal income, fleet is the way to go. If you used geos to unlock Padme, congrats, you have what it takes to build a great fleet at your level.

    About farming, you should have several goals at once: your ‘now’ team that you gear (up to g13 for your arena team, I’d stay away from relics if I was you, at least for now), and your ‘tomorrow’ team(s), for which you farm shards only.

    Considering your actual status, going for gas could be an interesting project: you already have a a few prerequisites in your arena team. If,it seems appealing to you, you’ll need c3po and sep droids. In this case, you should:

    - gear up your Padme team (Padme, Anakin, Kenobi, Asoka) up to g13. The 5th one will be fine at g12, you’ll probably replace it later with 3po. Keep farming haat for sweet gk shards.
    - Farm Ewok shards. This could be a long process, start now. The 4 named Ewoks+elder is the best team.
    - Farm sep droids shards: b1, b2, magma, droideka.

    When you’d finish a ‘shard farm’ start farming 501st clones shards. You’ll need them for gas.
  • Awesome. Lots of great advice. Any thoughts on JMK as my first GL down the road?

    You’ll have plenty of time to decide down the road. Lots of stuff could happen till then ;)
