Newb Squad Help

I've been playing for a couple weeks and so far I've been able to just coast along by throwing my highest power characters together for LS, DS, arena teams, but now I've hit a point where that isn't good enough any more. I'm a bit clueless on which characters I have are worth farming shards to upgrade and which other characters I should be trying to unlock to come up with at least a halfway decent Light Side squad, Dark Side squad, and a mixed squad for Arena if one of the 2 side specific squads isn't my best option. Top 5 on each list is what I'm using now with my mixed squad made up of Windu, chewie, JC, Opress, Talia. Any advice?

Light Side:
**** Mace Windu
*** Chewie
** Jedi Consular
** Kit Fisto
* Clone Sergeant
*** Jawa
* Ewok

Dark Side:
*** Savage Opress
*** Talia
*** Veers
** Royal Guard
** Magna Guard
* IG-86
* Geonosian Soldier
* FO TIE Pilot
* Snow Trooper

  • I would using cantina energy to farm GS and grab Poe or QJC with shipments. In arena shipments max Sid asap. I would farm JC up to 4-5 stars to help you with GW and max Lumi with the shipments asap. Use your energy to feed your top 5-7 toons to their current level max. Good luck!
  • alright so first of all, are you high enough level for cantina/Galaxy Wars? Will reply based on what you say to that.

    As you have it now, your light side team should be Windu as a leader, Consular, Fisto, Chewie, and Jawa. if you want more defence have chewie lead instead of Windu

    Your dark side team should be Savage Leader, Talia, Royal Guard, Geonosian Soldier and IG-86. FOTP is tempting but at his star hell be one hit by most things.

    If you can do Galaxy Wars, you can farm shards for geonosian soldier(highly recommended) IG-86, and a powerful lightside healer/attacker called Luminara Unduli. Also Captain Phasma a strong dark sider leaders who can help your characters attack multiple times.

    If you can do Cantina, get shards for Qui-Gon Jin as he is possibly the strongest jedi in the game. For dark side start farming for either Boba Fett for damage or Old Daka for heals.

    Once you find a good team, farm them up to get as strong as possible.

    hope this helped!
  • I just got to galaxy wars. I haven't beaten it yet, but i do get most of it done.

    Up to now i've been farming for mace/jc in hard battles and savage from shipments. Geo Soldier wasn't farmed for, but i only do the first cantina battle for the daily bonus so i do slowly build up his shards.
