New player looking to stay on the right path.

As the discussion title says, I'm a new player, I feel like I'm progressing efficently theough the game but want to make sure I continue to do so.

Currently I'm level 46.
I have 4* Ezra, Chopper, and Hera, 3* Zeb and Kanan(they will both be 4* after store refreshes today).
All five are completely maxed on the gear I can equip at my level and pretty much maxed abilities, a few are still level 3/4.
I unlocked Sebine but havent farmed her much since, other than 5 attempts daily for daily activities. I've been focusing my energy into gear. Worth the farm? (I do want to focus arena)

I have done zero farming for scoundrels, I realize the importance of credits, however I felt starting off strong in Arena as well as GW was well worth it. (I've been landing around rank 50 for the past few days, cant quite get top 50 however with all the pheonix mirror matches and p2p's) Should I start now as I feel like it's getting to be crunch time for scoundrels, or continue to power out pheonix? Maybe just unlock Bobba and ST Han then go back to Chopper and Kanan? Also should I farm Cad Bane from GW or is it unnecessary? Would probably 7* Zeb first as pheonix is my number one priority for legendary characters.

Finally, I'm highly confused about early mod farming. I understand that after completing the third level of mod battles, challenges unlock and farming should only be done in the highest tier. But, I have a friend who says that I will not be able to push that far right away. Is it worth farming grey mod's to sit on until I am strong enough for efficent farming? Or are they completely mistaken. (Casual player, fairly new as well, I could see that being the case).

My ultimate goal, is EP, Thrawn, R2, CLS then BB8 and JTR. Not sure if that changes anything.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to offer advice. I know these questions have been asked a million times, but it seems like its different for every case, would like an opinion on my own.

  • I have a pretty solid understanding of the path to the legendaries as they were the only reason I started playing the game really, but the information is greatly appreciated all the same.

    TaviRus you have been insanely helpful, as have all of you so again, thank you. The community around this game is amazing, and refreshing(I'm a League of Legends player, toxicity is always expected).

    I will start my team for Credit Heists with Bobba. Cad Bane, ST Han(really want to stay on track for CLS asap)and depending on my guild income I guess I'll start on Dengar as well. Once I finish Kanan and get ST Han in SAS, I'll get Gredo to round out BH for elsewhere with IG 88 for a stand in.

    Is this realistic or will I need to pause Kanan to get Gredo earlier? If so 5* kanan? 6*? What should my minimun be for moving on from my Arena team to gather the BH's I need for TB and such.

    For mods I guess I'll do what I can, and hope I can push all the way to Health Mod challenges as soon as mods are unlocked to start hard farming those.




  • I would go to at least 6* and then make a guess depending on what level you are and where you are time-wise in the Thrawn rotation. He shows up about once every 2-3 months, so if you are close, I would push through and get Thrawn. You can always level him later once you've gotten the credits, but with unlocks being hard time gates I would plan around those.
  • Honestly, I'd push your 5 PS until they are 7* and around gear 8/9 (basically when you hit the stun gun wall) they will be able to clear t3 of all the mod challenges and can generally clear GW every day. That will give you a team that at least can hit Hpit and Haat and will net you rewards.

    I'd also find a guild asap, the starter guilds are useless, and the sooner you find a good group of players the better. Even just one 7* toon will allow you to join heroic raids and get loot.I joined one that simply required me to get 600 tickets daily, an easy task, and I haven't regretted a moment of being with this awesome group.

    Also once you can clear the health mod challenge, I would grind out a set of all Hp mods for PS, really helps when you are still lower level to keep them alive.

    Fyi, I'm not a seasoned vet, been playing for just over two months. These are just my own observations as well as bits I've picked up on the way so far. Warriors "4 pillars guide" on YouTube is a good starting point too, although it could use some tweaking now as its 6 months old.
  • @Rath_Tarr I do believe you mean speed arrow - there are no speed triangles (primary stat at least).

    You are of course correct. Thank you for catching that.


  • If you don't have a home yet you can join us for a bit. We're active, you can score your Han solo with us pretty fast. Always have raids going, always help new players. We have a few heavy hitters that just like to chill and help out.

  • I am now leveling my 3rd account (i have a thing with alts..), currently at level 72, and I can give you a fresh overview from a veteran player.

    1. Guilds. There are a lot of guilds that are not full and farming haat and hrancor. You can get into one at your level, which will boost you quite a bit. Look for their discord if they have a higher level requirement, to get a direct invite. Just make sure you promise them tickets :)

    2. Main team. I strongly suggest to go full force on First Order. You can get KRU, phasma, FOX quite easily at the beginning. 4th slot should be Bobba Fett, 5th your choice, but I am aiming for FOSFTP.
    I've started with phasma lead (galactic war) , fox (cantina energy) , bobba(cantina currency), and after 7* fox, i moved to kru and swapped him in as lead. I'm also using normal energy on fost, as he has two nodes.
    Left over normal energy, i'm dumping into bastilla. Will get to that later on

    3. Do not skip Scoundrels! The weekly Credit Heist is the most important event to have it unlocked at the highest tier, otherwise you will be starved for credits. I mentioned at point 2 you should aim for Bobba. From pvp currency you can get STH which will count, and later on (after phasma) you can get cad bane from galactic war.

    4. Long term plans. After you finish FO and you have high enough scoundrels to own credit heist, get the following:

    4a. Phoenix (will unlock thrawn and palpatine)

    4b.Jedi, preferably you got a decent bastilla by now (see end of point 1 above). Keep in mind that you have kanan and ezra as jedi from 4a. Luminara is a great deal as she comes from galactic war, and can be done after securing Cad Bane(see point 3).

    4c. Sith/empire, you have palpatine and thrawn from 4a, you can start building your empire team, which will unlock r2. I suggest palpatine, vader, tarkin, tfp and and thrawn.
    You can also get fillers, like stormtrooper (cantina currency) or even royal guard if you get lucky from friend currency. Make sure you use an auomated tool to farm those packs, as they can get you a lot of gear and chars useful at this level.

    4d. Ships to unlock the zeta challenge.

    And last but not least,
    Research before investing!

    Do not gear chars after they ougrew their usefullness. For example, you will be tempted to gear up the Phoenix squad. Don't. They do not scale well.

    I hope I didn't miss any step. Good luck there.


  • I forgot mods. Unlock the 3rd node from the health challenge asap, and farm that for a while.
    After you get some high level friends (from the guild which runs haat, that you joined), run all the mod battles on auto until you unlock speed challenge.
    After that, farm speed mods for a while (again, only the 3rd challenge)
    Any mod that is bellow 5* is useless in the long run
  • First Order is a lot of fun, and you will enjoy some success with them. Best part is getting Jedi Rey. They will eventually fail you though, just like every team you build.
