Next steps

Well, I have lot of doubts about my next steps. At this moment I've some options to focus on:
- FO G10 with zKru, currently running in arena, usually top100 but I've been working last month improving other factions so I'm losing positions.
- zFinn Resistance G9, including BB8. Zeta'd recently, mainly to help my guild with HAAT.
- Empire G9-10, no zetas, Palpa still 5* (come back please!!!)
- Rebels G9 with CLS. Han 6* G7. No Kenobi.
Phoenix 5-6 stars, cannot get 7*Thrawn this time.

November 17 shard, 90% Palpatines in top50, most of them zeta'ed of course.

My mods are not crazy but I think are not trash at all.

I don't really know if its late for me to chase the meta: need Palpa return, start farming Nihilus and maybe Shore...
I´ve read that CLS,Han,R2,Leia,Ben+Rex instead of one them could work, at least on offense (recently unlocked Rex). And CLS+Han are very useful for Raids I think.
And I know FO could be arena viable for top50-100, but some people think this will change when Traya arrives...

What do you think? What would you do if you were me? I know here are great people helping ;-)
  • Well, I agree that´s a very personal choice. It may be difficult to say which is the most efficient way for me at the moment.
    I think I´ll gear up CLS and Han (for raids and maybe for arena if I turn to Rebels+Rex), while preparing for Thrawn and Rey (both of them are top toons for raids too).
    Thank you very much @CoastalJames

    Absolutely impossible question to answer because the choice is solely yours. Particularly if you're not fussed about meta-chasing which is the only thing people can give you concrete guidance on.

    But let's see...

    You've got some really nice teams.

    CLS, Leia, Han, R2 and Old Ben are a really good team...I've just started experimenting with a Rex lead dropping Leia (which is painful, she's been a trusted and respected warrior for me)...working well.

    So, you're deiniftely going for Palp- which is a good choice. Forget concerns about chasing the meta - a good Palp-led Dark Side team will be of use for a year and longer. Having Nihilus and Shore would be a huge asset if you do want to go down the DS route.

    So, there's two good teams to work on and farm hard - the Rex/CLS Rebel squad and the Palp DS squad.


    I guess the next question is...who are the next biggies to be coming...well, Thrawn but you accept you won't get him this time around. Sooo...how bad you want him? If so, farm for him now regardless of when he's here. However...presumably we all can consider farming for BB8 or JTR right now as, presumably very roughly in around 6 months, they might be making an appearance. Do you want them? If so you know what to start doing - now.

    The game is all about choices...what do you want to do? Personally, I've given up meta-chasing. I farm what I want, when I want. I think meta-chasing as a f2p player is, essentially, very frustrating and morale-destroying. It's a game, it should be enjoyed. When you're not enjoying it then you're doing something wrong. Do what you want - farm who you like, when you like. And, the way the game works, eventually your squads will be needed and you'll get the rewards relatively easily- no panic-farming required. Of course this means that you will not get things first, second or maybe even third time around. But you'll get them on the fourth. For a game I don't pay for, I can definitely live with that.


    Good luck and have fun.

    No thanks needed, my pleasure.

    Gearing up CLS and Raid Han will never be bad ideas.

    And, yes, looking towards Thrawn and JTR fr the future. Again, will only serve you well.
