New level 85 w/ a plan... is it any good?

Warning- this is gonna be long

https://swgoh.gg/u/deeziee/collection/

I hit level 85 about a week ago, and making sure I would get Thrawn and GM Yoda interrupted farming for my higher level toon.

I have no zeta's and I won't get any soon. Didn't realize it would take 20 zeta's and that I actually had to pay attention to ships until level 82. I'm getting there though.

as my swgoh shows, my high level chars are g8 lvl 83, with a mix of Sith and Rebels. I've been highly favoring the Sith, with many about to breach into the realm of g9 and they have my better mods (all of which are crap). I've been holding off on swapping them into my arena team until I can zeta DN leadership, but I'm not committed to that until I see what units I have once I actually can start zeta-ing things.

I just joined a fully populated guild a couple levels ago, so I'm pretty raid gear deprived. They clear the heroic rancor with ease, but they haven't gotten the HAAT yet. I'm planning on waiting to level a HAAT team until I have other guys that HAAT level. Not doing raids commonly until recently have left me gear deprived, with raid gear being one of the things holding my units back from g9.

I did manage to get Thrawn, and while I don't really care for chasing getting those top scores/ranks, I'm thinking of switching from my planned primarily sith team of DN(L), EP(not committed to him yet), SiT, Dooku, Rex to Imperials. Thrawn, DT, Shore, and not really committed to the other two Imps yet, kinda wanna experiment but I don't have the resources for that. And I mainly wanna use Thrawn, so I might not commit to those other two or emps in general. They are the plan for now though. Long term.

Short term is to get the Sith able to pass cantina 8 and ds 9. I'm hoping that with a good borrowed leader g9 can pull it off, but I'll get them to g10 if I have to. I have a good idea of what units to use, but I'll make a post about that once I get closer to higher gear levels. (Mainly leaders and to SiT or not to SiT)

But that only takes up energy. For cantina energy, I can get my last 50 or so shards for RG, as well as Ezra and Hera to 7 stars so I can max out thrawn whenever he comes back around. I'm not to concerned about Snowtrooper even though I've seen a couple events he'd beast in. And after Phoenix/empire I have a list of who I want but no idea how to prioritize. Ben for CLS? Kylo for BB8 and also he's Kylo? Barris? those last 30 shards of geo soldier? While I know my mod situation is laughable, I'm planning on getting a few decent health sets before I concern myself with raising Jawas and Jedi and whatnot.

For the cantina store, I'll need to get chopper to 7* but after that I'm lost on who to get first. Stormtrooper can fit under my whole empire thing, and I've already got him to 5 stars. I've heard both good and bad things about him, and looking at him he doesn't look to great. Like he'll tank for me until I get Shore, but I don't think I'll be using Emps for a while until and might have shore then.

For arena, I'm gonna get those get those last 13 shards, then switch to Kanan, but after that... dunno. Mace is the only fleet commander not 7*, and Leia and Han needed for CLS and barely started on them... could start getting droid shards again now that I actually know how the game works

I'm still at the point where GW is an easy clear, and I've been throwing resources at ships. I'll start throwing some at Zeb, but I might finish phasma or IG when DS TB comes around. Don't really need help there.

For Fleet, with the exception of 5 staring phoenix, I've been working on just ships. That'll go back on until I get zeta's for sure. But after I can get zeta's? are they worth leveling any further? I still need many toons offered through the fleet store, and the only real thing I can see worth leveling them after zeta's is TB six star requirements.

For TB store I've been creeping R1/pheonix/CLS required rebels along, while nabbing any tasty gear pieces along the way. I've thought about investing in the long term and going for Hermit and g12 gear. Not sure which way to go, but I'll probably just keep doing the way I've been doing.

I don't have a plan for getting LS 9 done. My rebels can nuke down cantina 8 until the boss with a good leader assist, and get mass murdered by one boss aoe. Big reason I wanna use Sith and their defensive leaderships.

I think that's everything. Thanks for reading that and I appreciate any advice.

  • You just need to focus on gear now. A lot of gear you need to work on breaking in to gear 9 and 10 it will help out a lot with your raid teams along with your arena standings
  • I have read the whole thing but I can’t answer at each one that you mentioned, but you should know what are your priorities,
    If it’s HAAT there are several teams that do good scores so you can start farming it faster:
    P1 is for Zkylo or Zsavage, just keep leaving the battle when you can and you are good to solo P1 with just 1 toon.
    P2 has several teams:
    Hk-47, ig 86, ig 88, chief nebit and Jawa engineer.
    Zvader, Zsidious, Phasma, Chamán Tuksen and boba or Ewok elder.
    Resistance team as per Finn, Poe, Resistance trooper, resistance pilot and Rey/R2/BB8.
    P3 is really difficult but:
    Chirpa, palpatine, and 3 tanks, as per Stormtrooper Han, Royal Guard and Sun fac being the most common. But bet you could add old ben there now.
    Teebo, Tarkin, TFP and 2 tanks two of the names above
    Jedi teams with Ima Gun Di leader do pretty well
    P4 is for rebels and clones:
    Wedge, Biggs, Lando, Leia and Raid Han or Phasma
    Clones go with Zcody, Clone Sergeant, Echo, Fives and one of Jawa Scavenger/leia/Datcha in order of better to worse.
    Your guild should be farming those teams to complete HAAT, thinking 50 people are in a guild and there is just 8 teams to use, that is 6 of each team and 2 people farming kylo or savage and you are done with HAAT in 2 months.

    As per ships you need Most importantly 5 ships at 4* to get executrix and 6 ships at 5* to get the Zeta challenge so it should be that first farm, then you need 6* LS ships for home one and endurance at 7* and the 6 DS ships for executrix and Chimera, then,
    You should be farming Light side ships for TB

    And for TB first of all you need Captain Han Solo at 5* same as Hoth soldier and a minimum of 6* Hoth Scout to be able to enter all bonus missions, latter when you get Rebel Officer Leia Organa to 7* you’ll need a 7* Captain Han.
    You need Phoenix team at 7* and gear 8 but Ezra at g X to get 6/6 at least first 4 days of TB, then you need Rogue one at similar levels to get extra battle, they are not that important at lower levels because the mission on phase 6 is difficult as small guilds won’t fill many platoons.
    And as per arena, it’s very particular there and you having no General kenobi or CLS won’t help you but you can pull some good Rex teams or empire with Sith Assassin and Zvader depending on your shard and your willing to farm.

    Hope I haven’t missed much and that this is the order of farm I would go for, talk to your Guild mates and make a combined plan, together we are stronger.
    Best regards and good luck!!!
  • Thanks for all the advice.

    I don't think they are really coordinating the HAAT. I'll go for Zavage and then let them know for P1.

    Is it really worth farming up for TB when there is supposed to be a DS TB coming?

    And do you think it's worth the time to get the DN team up just for the last cantina/dark side and then level/gear a Thrawn team? Or should I push the Sith to gear 11 or something?

    I don't know if I'll start focusing on HAAT teams until I have something for myself, but what gear level should they be? I know it recommends 10 with 5 dot mods...

    You cannot easily pass Cantina nodes 9 with Sith.. the tuskens destroy them. Trust me, I main the Sith and they get destroyed. Maybe with all G11 they can do it. They can 3* all the Dark Side Hard Nodes at level 83 or 84, around G9 under Nihilus lead (except for DS level 9, Hard Node 2 which is resistance and very difficult to even complete)
  • What Sith are you using? I was thinking of getting SiT up, leading with Nihlus and Savage. SiT will end up with huge defense and def up, taunt, retribution.
  • Maybe get an empire team so you can unlock R2??? And yes you want the DS team but maybe you prefer to have the Phoenix at 7* to get thrawn so you have to farm one empire less, then palpa, Tarkin, Royal Guard and then I think is either Stormtrooper or magnatrooper, someone that uses them can tell you who is better, and as a borrowed leader if you used a Vader with Zeta would be awesome, even a thrawn could be leader too if you don’t have him.
  • I have r2 at 5*. Ive got enough 7* emp toons to do the last battle, but they probably won't be geared enough when r2 comes back
