Noob (4 months) diary of sorts! Now updated!

Okay, I clearly must have no clue what I'm doing. I'm hearing people with 6 star this and 7 star that, when all I've got is 4 star crap! I'm a little angry but I'm going to relent and list what I have. I'm hoping for two things to come out of this. First, answer whether I should buy Chromium packs or do I have anything I can work with. Secondly hoping for some step-by-step instructions on what to do daily because I'm obviously not doing what I should be if after 4 months, I'm still sitting on this crap list below. Without further ado:

L49. DS. 5 star
L49. Lumi. 5 star
L49. Talia. 4 star
L49. Dooku. 3 star
L49. Barris. 4 star
L49. Chewy. 4 star
L49. Jedi con. 4 star
L49. Asajj. 4 star
L49. Nightsister Init. 3 star
L49 Poe. 3 star
L44. Finn. 4 star
L45. F.O. Tie Pilot. 2 star
L40. Jawa. 4 star
L40. Resistance Trooper. 2 star
L40. Ashoka. 3 star
L37. Clone Sergeant. 2 star
L40. Storm Trooper. 2 star
L35. Royal Guard. 2 star
L34. Snowtrooper 2 star
L1. Plo Koon. 3 star
L1. GS. 1 star
L1. IG-86. 1 star
L1. Nightsister Acolyte. 1 star

So yes, I have wasted some cash on packs already and a couple of beginner packs. S where do I go from here? Do I have anything to work with?

    Anakin is great at 7 * he is a long term investment though, I would highly recommend doing both hard modes until further notice. Ig 88 is good, but his health is a but low and has no real place anywhere besides a hard core droid team (hk 86 88 poe poggle) 86 however is good on all teams, he crits all the time and his assist is great ( basically another GS) KEEP GOING WITH QGJ most versatile character in the game imo great for both gw and squad arena. Dooku is also amazin and you can start farming him from cantina at level 69. Now my question to you is what shipments are you currently buying ( cantina squad arena gw)


    Thank you for the reply. I do hope to make Anakin work as it was the main reason I bought that recent package but at his current strengths, no way. I will continue to build him up though. It brings up a question as well. Since I just finished GS on cantina shards, I was trying to decide between JC or Anakin. I am leaning towards JC since he seems to be very versatile. I would also like to finish him off so I can replace Dooku. I can't get Dooku's level up right now and he continues to die to quickly.

    As far as Cantina shipments, that is still QGJ who is just the most awesome on my team. For Arena I've been doing IG-88 to use later. As well, on GW, I'm buying Poggle for the same purpose. As for my current team, I most often use:

    GS, DS, Lumi, QGJ, and Dooku. Depending on the battle, Dooku often gets traded out with Barriss, Poe, JC, Talia or Anakin. Whatever I can get away with because Dooku is too weak now.

    Thanks Conor for the info. I hadn't even tried Anakin. Not sure why I thought he was farmable. Excellent advice on Dooku at 69. I've been farming JC on hard mode daily for the dailies. The rest I've been using for gear. Thanks for the advice on the droid team. Not sure if all of these toons will be doable to 70 but I'll throw some cash at it as I still try and catch up.

    One thing that is really starting to suck is GW where the teams are level 70 up to 4 points away to the end. The other tough one is arena which are also level 70 teams. Will this get easier once I get to 70? I assume albeit the time and money issue.

    Chive! Holy hell! I've read your post twice and will need to a few more times for sure. I will figure out the order and how to make this work.

    One thing that does seem to be unanimous is that I should have continued Poe to max first and in fact, I should continue Poe first. This may be true. Well, it must be since so many have said it now. Poe may help get me through GW and arena for awhile. QJG can hold his own for a little while. Wow. This game looks easy on the outside but there really are a lot of options.

    Thanks again Chive for the clarification. Much appreciated.

    Now I need to ask anyone that might know about a quote that Conor made:

    just remember if there is a particularly hard matchup make a suicide squad to soften them up and blown their ability cool downs before you bring in the main team.


    Okay, I need help with this suggestion. It didn't work as planned last night when I tried it for the first time. What ended up happening was I lost my five low level players and it wouldn't let me use another five. I had to wait until restart. Is there another part to this that I need to know?
