New Player Farming Path by Grogu

To test a theory against @Intimmydation and his New Player Farming Path, I have started an alt, with 1 sole purpose: to disprove Timmy ;) !

Details:
Spoiler
This starts as a GAS rush. I go for Padmé and GMY, followed by 3PO, followed by GAS. After him and co. are done, I start on JKR. I probably will ignore DR, but not 100% yet. Then, I go for CLS, Chewie, JKL, JML. I still believe JML is the best GL, as he counters all the GLs (- SEE) on offence, and LV+Maul still is a slightly uphill battle on offence against him.


I will be doing bi-weekly updates myself. I started on the 5th November, and waited to join the 10/11 arena shard.
I might be at a disadvantage due to the hdb discount people entering my shard, but it shouldn’t halt me!

I will recommend you join the Free 2 Play Nation discord: https://discord.gg/aS7tpuKv93

I may also make a new discord for New Player Farming Paths where we can have input etc. and easier convos. I will let you know soon about this.

Just a quick brag: many people find GW hard at lvl 40; I cleared my 1st one in under 30 mins.

    Wanted to just give a tip to those who are struggling in GW. Sometimes you want to use 2 teams, as that 2nd team will help when you’re primary team cannot finish the battle without losing a unit. Use that 2nd team on the 1st GW node, so that it has preloaded tm when you need it. Also, for those who got Dash Rendar in the marquee event, getting him to lvl 44 like I did (or lvl 50 so you can mod him) and using him in GW is soo helpful. I have Nute, Poggle, Soldier, Anakin, Ahsoka on the primary GW team (yet to unlock the other geos), and just put some random lead (usually Old Ben, as the evasion helps the lower-level toons), Dash Rendar, Dark Trooper, and 2 others (happen to use Tarkin and Gideon, at g1, lvl 40something). The 2nd team has rlly high damage, as you don’t have to upgrade Dash’s or Dark’s abilities to do the 3* or 4* damage respectively. If you do lvl up their abilities it just makes the, better. Whilst you’re lower-level and don’t have 2 full teams, putting these 2 together can help clear some problematic toons off a problematic GW team.

    On another note, I think if I put a full breakdown of my plan, with my farming plan and strategy, it will definitely help you guys who read this thread. This will come out sometime tomorrow.
  • Do you have a farming path laid out like timmy or like a more focused idea? I sort of started a jedi focused account that I think can easily transition to follow along https://swgoh.gg/p/293396773/

    Well I'll add my swgoh.gg: https://swgoh.gg/p/223759378/.

    Also, only been playing on this alt for 10 days. Don't expect much.

    And I'm proud to say I'll be way more focused than Timmy. Way better. In every aspect ;).

    Really, it'll be quite similar. I'm going for more hard farms though, as they're only 60 energy each.

    Cantina: Geo Soldier 7*, Geo Spy 7*, GBA 7*, will add more after this
    LS Hard Nodes: Ahsoka 7* (LS 1B), Ewok Elder 7* (LS 2C or 2D), Greef 7* (LS 3F or 3G), and Vulture Droid (LS 4D).
    DS Hard Nodes: JKA 7* (DS 1B), Dooku 7* (DS 1C), Mando 7* (DS 3C)
    Stores are Ahsoka, Nute, Sun Fac and Poggle in their respective stores.

    Very good, excited to see how it progresses and the lessons learned along the way!

    Be sure to document along the way, and I found it good to use the new squad management GUI in the game to show the current farms.


    Thx for the tip. You better be ready for this competition

    WEEKS 1 AND 2 UPDATE


    Squad Arena Update:

    • Managed rank 1 on day 1 of Squad Arena
    • Managed top 20 on day 2 of Squad Arena
    • Managed top 50 on day 3 of Squad Arena
    • Managed top 100 on day 4 of Squad Arena
    • Managed top 200 on days 5-7 of Squad Arena
    • Managed top 500 after that
    • This is now going to get worse, as many people will be getting the hdb sale and going into this shard


    What I learnt: Nute Gunray and Dark Trooper are absolute Gs in GW (their uniques reset at the start of each battle, and Dark Trooper also restarts at full health at the start of each battle).
