Order of Toons for Events

I am looking for advice on what characters i should aquire in order of priority for upcoming events.
Currently level 74 and have a 7* rebel for EP.
Since I need EP as my 5th empire for R2D2 (no real way to level any other) i am going to prioritise 7* my other 4 Empire toons.

So when EP comes back around i will have 5 x 7* and i can focus on the R2D2 event. Assumably id then get everyone to 7* for CLS.

Should i ignore old Ben for now and farm up TFP from Cantina and should i get Tarkin from arena store instead of Leia? Both Ben and Leia arn't needed for arena or ships so currently makes sense to me.

Or am i missing something? Thanks.

  • Get your EP first and build the Empire up for R2 After that work on R2 and everyone else required for CLS. Only get TFP and Taking if those 2 are included on your empire team for R2, otherwise work on Old Ben and Leia.
  • Remember you could use fleet currency for TFP if you are in a rush. He appears quite regularly. RG is a common bronzium drop as well if that helps any.

    He really does appear a lot. If you go this direction OP, TFP will be 7* relatively soon.
  • Thanks for replies. I have sth 7 and leia 4. Tarkin almost 5.

    I figured there is no point in maxing leia yet since i need Tarkin for R2 even which i need for CLS anyhow.

    Currently focusing fleet tokens on Vader, slave 1 and tie 1.

    I think RG will take the longest for me so ill prioritse hard modes and any time he hits shipments.

    I think TFP on cantina will farm him up quick enough. I doubt using fleet on him is worth it since RG and vader will be lagging behind anyhow. Vader takes some time to max i assume i need to be level 85 to unlock relevant achievements to max him.
  • What I think is, finish Tarkin from arena store, then Leia. Farm TFP from Cantina (and fleet store if possible). RG from hard nodes and lucky bronzium drops (and cantina once TFP is done). Check out any achievements within reach for extra Vader shards. Old Ben now appears in guild store, so keep an eye out. Farmboy luke is also there, if you haven't finished him yet.
    From what the devs indicated, CLS event may come around in December.
    Good luck and may the force be with you!
  • I’m in the same boat you are right now, I’ll tell you my plan so you can see if it would fit your situation any.

    My first step when i created my account was 7* rebels for Palpatine. I now have palpatine 7* so next on the list was Thrawn. I started farming Phoenix after rebels but unfortunately I was only able to get him 5* this last time around.

    So, originally the plan was to have Palpatine lead, Thrawn, Vader, Tarkin, and TFP for R2D2 but now I have to substitute RG for Thrawn.

    Currently, I have Kanan, Ezra, and Chopper maxed. So my farming plan is from cantina to get Hera done (~40/100) then get TFP & RG up to 7 together (get both to 5 first then both to 6, etc) just bc even if I can only get them to 5 by the next R2D2 event, 5* R2D2 is better than no R2D2. From Squad Arena I’m currently farming Tarkin (~40/100) then I’m going for Leia. And I’m farming Farmboy Luke and Old Ben from guild store together. Luke is ~30/100 and I’m still working on unlocking Old Ben. And I have StHan maxed already so then that would complete my toons needed for Commander Luke.

    I know for a fact I won’t get the new Rey the first time her event rolls around so I’m just going to farm First Order where I can to get BB8 and the rest just whenever.

    sorry for the essay, but hopefully my plan lines up with something you were thinking of doing.
  • Phoenix is a good pick for every new account. They cover palp, thrawn, and 2 of them even yoda. And thats just for events. Not to mention their use for lstb and lowie arenaranks.
