Thanks for the advice, Jetlife. Is there a fast way to obtain these characters? The only way I have been getting their shards are from GW, Cantina, and Squad Arena depending on the character.

I also have two more questions:

What should I spend my Ally Points on? I have been spending them on Bronzium Data Cards, but I'm not sure if I should be spending them on something else?

Also, I have been hoarding Crystals ever since I started the game, because I have no idea what I should spend them on... Any specific characters that I should get with Crystals through Shipments, or should I save them and spend them on something else?

Ally Points can be spent on two things: Bronziums and tournament character refreshes. At your level bronziums are a great deal since they will provide you with training droids, white gear that you actually need and character shards for good starting characters. Tournaments are suspended for the moment until they get the cheating sorted out, but you used to be able to spend your ally points on refreshing your characters for another battle to climb up reward tiers. The rewards for tournaments were awesome and provided lots of credits, gear and character shards for whatever the amazing character was for it and saving ally points for those would be a great idea, but the problem is we don't know when or even if they are coming back.

My personal opinion would be to spend your ally points on bronziums.

As for crystals, there are a couple of ways you could go with them. First of all, do not buy character shards out of shipments with them. The shards in shipments are overpriced and it is a waste of the most important currency in the game. There are three options in the game for your crystals that are a good deal (this is coming from a F2P player who hasn't spent a dime) and they are the following: refreshes, gear from shipments and mod packs. The last two you will not need to worry about until later in the game but the first is the one you should focus on right now. Refreshing your energy is the best choice for your crystals since it provides energy for simming LS/DS nods and cantina nods which provide character shards, gear, training droids, credits, ability mats, etc.

You need to star, gear and lvl your characters that you are focusing on in arena ASAP and buying refreshes with your crystals will allow you to do so.

Biggs - GW store (fast farm if you can complete gw each day)
Stormtrooper Han - Arena (slowish farm depending on where you place in arena)
Wedge - cantina battle 6-F which costs 12 energy (slow farm for him but you should buy his shards out of fleet shipments asap when you unlock it as well)
Lando - cantina node 1-E which costs 8 energy (very fast farm and you should start him now if you want to go with rebels)
Boba - cantina shipments (medium farm, depends on whether you do high energy cost nodes in cantina or low energy cost nodes. High energy nods provide more store currency, which makes his farm faster)

If you want to go with rebels you may need to start farming them now and drop whoever it is you are farming now. Rebels aren't amazing until wedge joins the team, but you won't be able to actually farm him until level 60 something when you unlock his node.
