Hi,I'm at level 52 and my team is as follows right now:5* Jedi Consular5* Luminari4* Rex4* Luke Skywalker4* LandoI'm farming Boba Fett and Count Dooku to replace Luke Skywalker for one of them and potentially Jedi Cons. or Lumi if i want to put both in them. I also would like to have Darth Nihilus as he seems a very dangerous character. I don't quite understand all of these stats like yet, so I was wondering if this team would be any good. A bit lost right now.I also have a 5* Ackbar, but since I already have Rex to dispell all neg. buffs, would he be of any use to me??Thanks for helping out a newbie.

Rex, lando, DN and Boba are all characters that will work later stages of the game.JC is good for ships when you open that up. Other than that, he's not someone who you will use after level 70 except for ships. Luke and Lumi don't really have any pratctical uses in the game.Start farming Wedge and Biggs as soon as you can do you can unlock EP. ackbar will help with that too.Read through some of the threads on here. There's a lot of great advice.

Thanks all for the advice. Greatly appreciated! So it seems Ackbar is only useful for the emperor's demise event. Why is this event so important? What do you get out of that?I've seen a lot of people recommend Wedge and Biggs....they seem so boring to me compared to some of the other chars like Darth Nihilus, Kylo Ren etc. Also Dooku seems to hit my team multiple times per turn and always counters...should I not use him? I also get a lot of damage with Lando, but you don't recommend him? I was also up against a full phoenix team...incredible synergies...not sure how to beat them ever...Since you mentioned a taunter, I also still have a royal guard somewhere with 4 stars...I'll probably use him. Can I also use Old Daka as a healer? I have her too already. Hopefully I'll have enough training droids and credits to activate so many new characters.

Focus on a set of characters with a goal in mind. A team of rebels for the Emperor palpatine event is something good to work towards.

Alright. Thanks again to take the effort to help me out....I understand now that based on everyone's feedback, I should first create a rebel team.Since it still take ages before I can start farming Wedge and based on what I have right now, my team would consist in the interim of the following:Ackbar(5*) - lead (?) Lando(4*) - attackerLuke (4*) - attackerBiggs(2*) - support (?)Stormtrooper Han - taunter. Don't have this character yet.I should get them at least all to 5 stars and max the mods out of them for the event to get Emperor Palpatine...hopefully I still have enough time to do that..In the long run though...I should go for this team which is going to be a lot more fun than the previously described overused bread and butter rebel team :)Rex - leadBoba FettRoyal Guard - taunterChirrut - healer (ideally) or otherwise BarrisEmperor PalpatineSome questions: - can I only farm Chirrut by paying with crystals in shipments? If so, that's going to be a bit expensive and long process.- is EP farmable after the event or do you constantly have to wait for the next event to get some more shards?- why is Royal Guard such a badarse? he only seems to stun...I also had a look at the following website https://swgoh.gg/meta-report/#squads They suggested the following:Rex · GK · Chirrut · Baze · Darth Nihilus. This combo seems to be the most used rank 1 squad.Is Darth Nihilus not a better character than EP?Others were:Rex · Kylo Ren · GK · Chirrut · BazeRex · Biggs · Wedge · Chirrut · Baze

Chirrut is available for ship tokens in the fleet shipments. Unlocks with ships at level 60.

Hi guys, I now have 5* Lando, 5* Ackbar, 5* Luke, 5* Biggs and in the process of farming ST Han, but I'm wondering if it's not better to have K2SO as a tank for the EP event...Any thoughts? He seems to do more than ST Han.

St Han will do just fine I found the event to be way too easy to beat just make sure your gear and abilities are up you will do fine with that team. Eventually I would switch to a wedge lead and drop Luke unfortunately he is your weak link in that team. Just imo

Thanks for the advice you both...I'm glad you can relate to my situation...I guess I'll stick with ST Han for now. K-2 seemed appealing with the counter attacks. I'll make sure I get the gear to level 6. Level 7 seems to take forever right now with XP level 59 and eventually it's not the team I want to keep. I wonder how many shards I'll be able to get from the emperor palpatine event. Will I be able to even unlock the character after the event?

Thinking about the squad he wants at level 85 isn't a bad idea though. For example, JC and Lumi are great to have decently geared and fully starred in order to unlock Yoda, if Jedi are your persuasion. They are both killer mid-game GW characters. If you prefer Sith, then as stated a rebel squad to get through the light side battles and unlock Emperor Palp would be good.

Right now, the squad teams I had in mind for top levels were:

Rex(L), Boba Fett, Emperor Palpatine, Chirrut and Royal Guard (to be replaced by Baze maybe in the future) or
Rex(L), Darth Nihilus, Emperor Palpatine, Chirrut and Royal Guard .

Not sure if the second option would work too.

By the way I read that ST Han is very fragile and doesn't have a lot of health as a tank. I don't have any healers in my current rebel team.

Hey guys, do you have any tips on the fleet battles? I just reached lvl 60 and don't know what ships to go for.

Before getting to ships, I'd say keep farming StHan, Boba and Lando for the credit heist, you'll not regret it, free credits and a ton of them. Even if Han isnt in your arena team, the credits you'll gain by having him geared and levels for credit heist will help you progress other characters so much faster. Believe me, as you level up you'll really feel the credit crunch as each level costs more than the one before.

As for ships, try Rex, Boba, Biggs and JC for a start since you have the toons well developed already, or are working on developing them. Geo soldeir is an easy farm (ships and shards) and does some decent dmg in both battles and ships. Ashoka is another good ship to farm, as is vader, now that his shards and ship are available in fleet shipments.

Alright...ST Han it is....

With regards to the ship, should I go for Adm. Ackbar, Mace or Tarkin as fleet leader? Is it worth to buy one of those fleet starter packs? I read somewhere that you need Tarkin for zetas(??).

In regards to arena, a high damage output could be Rey... if you choose. Her only thing is she really can't take too many hits. If you use her, I'd suggest slapping Hella health and defence on her. Maybe some critical avoidance.

Just a thought from a single player in a lonely guild.

Thanks for the advice. I now see a power up pack for a Jedi bundle, Anakin or QGJ bundle.
The Anakin one seemed appealing...you think I should buy that one?
