New Player Guide

This post is for new players that want an easy farmable squad.The Phoenix Squad you get a squad that can do well in all game modes for the beginner and midle part of this game.

Much of the info is from experienced players thats posted in forums. Mainly Anakin_Skywalker all credits got to him.

Its a long Post so use it as a guideline so you wont get of-track at the start and during this game.

This game is longterm it can take weeks months even to gear up or get a Heroe depending on how much money your willing to spend. this guide is made for Free to Play.

How to get them: 3 heroes you can get before lvl 28, Hera and Ezra from Cantina. with the points from Cantina you get Chopper in Shipments.

At lvl 28 Arena unlocks from the Arena store you get Kanan.

At lvl 40 Galactic Wars becomes available the first few runs you might struggle a bit to get to the end depending on your heroes.

Galactic wars gives you the 5th Heroe Zeb. with the complete team you can make it trough Galactic war.

Sabine is the 6th member and the hardest to get she comes from hard battles which is max 5 per day per Heroe so she should be a side project.
She can replace Chopper in the future for arena.

This team can get you in to some decent ranks in arena, so you can get a steady income in Crystals each day.
Crystals should be used to reset energy from cantina, for Ezra and Hera and light side darks side battles for gear.

CLS is comander luke skywalker, GK is general kenobi ,RG is royal guard, TFP tie fighter pilot. FO stands for first order FOTP first order tie fighter. G stands for Gear 7/8/9 for example. TB Team Battle.

Gear the Phoenix up to all G8 Ezra can go upto G10 if you want. Get Palpatine and Thrawn when you can. Beating thrawn will need some good mods but doable.

Keep farming the Empire. Add this guy: Stormtrooper. Make an Empire squad for R2. I used Tarkin, TFP, Vader, RG, Stormtrooper for 7* R2. The good about this team is that 3 of them are pilots of important ships in fleet arena. So farm those pilots to G9, Tarkin to G10. The rest two tanks at G8. Plus If you have Palpatine, you will do it much easier but I still recommend farming the five members I told. 3 of them are pilots anyway, and the two tanks are quite useful in TB anyway.

Now you have Thrawn and even R2.
At this point you could change your arena from Phoenix to Thrawn lead Empire team. Consisting of Thrawn, Palpatine, TFP, Vader, Stormtrooper or RG. This team is very viable because they get 20% turnmeter whenever they resist or take a debuff from the enemy. So this team is strong against most, if not all, teams that rely on debuffs. This team doesn't need crazy mods compared to others because the leader ability builds up speed by itself.


Then work on other CLS journey characters: StHan, Leia, Farmboy Luke, Old Ben
When you get your CLS, change your arena team from empire to CLS,R2, Han Solo, GK, Thrawn team.


Then you will have to work on Resistance and FO.
First work on Resistance so that you start to farm speed mods. Then farm FO for BB8.
FOST will be a long farm so you should start farming him from right now.(after you get phoenix maxed out)
Or if BB8 is likely to come soon, farm FO first, then Resistance. BB8 is needed for Jedi Rey, along with the two veteran smugglers, Finn, and Rey scavenger.
Then you can change to Jedi Rey lead, BB8, R2, OldBen,GK team.

For fleet arena, use Tarkin fleet. along with vader, boba(Or fives), fotp, tfp, Biggs for front lineup for reinforcements: Maul and plus random 2(2 U wing, Wedge, Ghost, Phantom, JC, Ahsoka, Clone Sarg, Sun Fac, Geo soldier...).

Then after you get thrawn, start farming Home One, Ghost, Phantom, and other 3 Rebel ships. There are 6 noncapital rebel ships now so you can skip one Rebel ship and I recommend to skip Bistan, since it's relatively a long farm.
Once you get Chimaera, Start using him in arena right away if your thrawn is over G11, and Chimaera ultimate annihilate ability maxed out.
