The initial Bronzium 5 placement level is 1.8m GP and my back of napkin math says I will be around 1.4m GP when I unlock SLKR. My prediction is that I will do "fine" (55-60% win rate) in Chromium with Padme, Bastilla Jedi, CLS, Empire, First Order, and Geos punching well above my GP through Carbonite.
Once SLKR unlocks around 1.4m GP I expect to jump up into Chromium but as you said I will be lacking teams at that point as instead of building more meta teams I was Relicing first order toons.. I HOPE that my strong fleet on side and SLKR blocking the other, that will only let them clear the one area right above fleets and I can steal many fights with just clearing two areas while I build out the post-GL depth. Its going to be a struggle for sure when I move into Bronzium and need 10 teams.
My post-SLKR plan is probably to continue the GL to GL plan and go to SEE or GL Rey but maybe take a few months to get the low hanging meta teams like JKR or even invest in a DR/Malak with all my saved up GET1. I haven't done any significant plans past SLKR as I want to see how he does in a thin squad in GAC first.
Iniital Chromium placement is 3.4m GP and 14 squads I doubt I will reach that before 3m GP even if my roster is AMAZING. No idea how I will have 14 viable squads at 3m GP however no matter what I do! Have you planned on how to get to 14 squads for Chromium on your F2P account yet?
Well right now you are starting in Carbonite I assume, but any competent player I am sure will move to Bronzium after the first season (so after the 1st month)....from there with 5+5 teams needed, it will start to be very thin with the GL rush, until you actually get the GL which you will then place on bottom zone and doesn't matter the other defense, you can save the rest for offense.
The real challenge will be once you get bumped up to Chromium, which I am sure most players with a GL will not spend more than 2 seasons in Bronzium as the MM levels out. Once in Chromium the jump to 14 total teams and 4 fleets needed is steep. That is where I am now at 3.45M GP but without a GL (though I should have in 3 months). While I have a few non-GL meta teams like CLS and GAS and Padme CAT, I cannot field a full 14 solid teams, there is still HDB garbage I have to leave in some places in order to have enough on offense.
But, this is a problem pretty much everyone will have and it will start to level out eventually.
I assume you start in Carbonite 5 when you hit 85? Maybe Carb3? . I also know that "top 10% are promoted and bottom 10% relegated" but not sure if that means from Carb5 to Carb 4? In which case it would take 5 months to get out of carbonite? or if its all of carbonite and the top 10% of Carb is promoted to Bronzium 5?
My main is about the same as yours (Chromium 4) and has the same issue placing crappy HD toons I leveled to 85 on defense in a lot of spaces.
I fully expect to suffer in the 3-4 months before SLKR is unlocked against similar age accounts. I THINK it will be worth it for the 10-2/11-1 runs up the charts when SLKR is unlocked though. That won't last more than 2-3 GAC seasons but will be a fun ride till I equalize again with other GL's.
FYI: I did some research and you can indeed promote from Carbonite to Bronzium in 1 month. It might be hard to do with the GP range you will see but its certainly possible. My F2P account is about a month away from 85 so next GAC I should be in it on day 1. So see how far I can move in one GAC 4 week event. 12-0 is the goal to get into Bronzium for 2nd GAC and totally suck with a slim roster.
