If I could start this game over again from scratch, like many other players, I would play it differently. The first and most important change would be to stop advancing JC as soon as possible and start advancing Luminara. I have a 7* JC, GL 8(4/6). Lumi outclasses him in every area. She heals for more, her basic hits for more, and her special hits for more. She has a valuable leader ability, JC has none.Now that I am lvl 69, JC still figures prominently in my GW teams, but not Arena. The role he serves would be better served by Lumi in every instance. If I had both toons 7* full gear, JC would never get off my bench unless I sent in a team to die in GW. I don't have her and I am doing fine, but gameplay would be better if I had her right now instead of JC. I hope this helps someone just starting the game and looking for a simple post.

You can't make the light side battles only with Luminara.. that's why you have Jedi Consular... I have a LC at 6*, JC at 5*, ashoka 4*, QGJ 4* and Anakin at 4* but I can't make the hard battles at stage 6... Should have got another Jedi or Datcha for that.. JC heals pretty often, he's a good 5* to have just to get all things available.. I wouldn't get him more that than even if you can easily gear him to lvl 6

I still think JC has tremendous value, especially his heal with the short cooldown for GW. You should have multiple healers available for GW anyways. I do agree Lumi is the better toon of the two and between them the first you should 7*, but ideally you should obtain and upgrade both of them.

JC is solid and very easy farmable at the beginning (so is Lumi - great thing is they do not interfer with each other so go for both!). Plus I found him to be one of the easiest toons to equip (first to reach gear XI). In the long run Lumi outclasses him by quite a bit though. Don't farm him above 5* though (unless you have a special plan for him) - I don't think he is worth the energy. I use both Lumi & JC during progression of LS hardmode and regularly on GW.

Well the thing is that you can do both at the same time, and since you have both you prob don't realize how much harder GW would be with only Luminara

Yes, let me quantify my statement by saying that I did get a 4* Bariss from a chromium pull. You certainly need 2 healers to survive the light side battles. Bariss is a beast with extremely high hit points, but hits like a wet towel even at high levels. She is superior to JC at high levels because her heal equalizes health then applies a healing bonus. That can result in massive healing versus JC's paltry heal. If you have the end game in mind, especially if you are spending money, Luminara and Bariss are superior to JC. You should spend your valuable resources there.

New Players, Get Luminara , drop Jedi Consular

Worst advice ever! JC is great for gw (best rewards in the game), you need him for the yoda challenge. And he's easy to level up.
I have a 7* lumi and she sits on the bench as well in arena. Still a good hero

Don't follow this guy!! Jedy consular at 7* soaks up more than 10k damage and heal about 5k every 2 turns.. I'm a level 70 F2P and i use him as a staple character in GWARS, every single day!

+1

I'm a whale, and he is part of my 1st line GW team. Lumi + JC are way better than Lumi+Barriss, in almost every situation.

His heal can be as low as every other turn with his basic and heal leveled up.

He heals for around 4.5k, and will give himself turn meter when he heals sometimes, making the next heal come even quicker.

His Special attack can ignore armor, and both it and his basic hit for reasonably heft amounts.

He's easy to farm from Cantina battles as you level.

He's also incredibly easy to take to maximum gearing.

TLDR: OP doesn't have a clue.

have you ever been hit by a wet towel? it´s painful!

No but seriously your advice is wrong, a good advice for newbies would be to level up both at the same time. JC is one of the easiest farmable toons in the game and doesn´t interfere with Lumi. Also as some people said before me, his short cooldown on the heal is key in GW, he is in fact the bread and butter for most f2p teams in GW, although Lumi outclasses him in the arena, so tip for newbies: take both!!!

@fasterthanyous What is the problem with staring up Lumi and JC at the same time ?? You get Lumi from GW and JC from cantina battles. Getting JC does not disturb getting Lumi as well. Don't see the problem. Yes Lumi is better but I think JC is solid and he should be stared up at least to 6*.
You are talking bout the early game - how would you go further without JC?

You should get Plo Koon in Cantina .. I didn't.. and I'm sorry now
