Phoenix team transition

I strongly recommend you go for fallen Bastilla shan to put in your Vader and ep team

Off the top of my head (and ranked in terms of usefulness):
Logray
FO SF TIE Pilot (needed for SLKR)
Dengar (excellent for Chewie event but not needed if you have Bossk)
Colonel Starck
Jyn Erso
FO SF TIE Fighter
Young Han

this is terrible advice for a new player.

don't buy all these characters. just the ewok (and dengar, maybe). a long ways down the road you can think about FO.

yes for 3po. he's a big piece for multiple teams, and Logray/wicket/paploo/elder and chirpa are the best ewoks to get him, and the best ewoks overall. Since logray (iirc) is only available there you don't want to spend on gear there, just on toons you can't farm elsewhere. same for dengar, who helps a lot with chewie bc he stops r2's stealth. the newer BH might work too, they weren't around when I got chewie

edit: if you are focusing on geos, for ex, you want to just work on them and just buy logray/dengar when they are there. the main thing is to focus on what you are working on now. It's just that if you get to the point where you want 3po/chewie, it's very hard to just wait and hope the chars show up in the store

@trustme707 Personally, I would keep focusing on Phoenix at least until you have Thrawn and Pal at 7*. Yes there are better arena teams but at your level in the game, this is a solid path. Use your crystals for energy refreshes for either extra character shard farming or gear farming. If you do decent in arena, you'll have enough for Kanan, and relaistically, he takes precidence over Tarkin since you can't get thrawn to 7* until you have Kanan 7* and without a good thrawn, the empire team will suffer. As soon as Kanan is done, go after Tarkin. Your goal is not just to get certain characters but get those characters and their supporting cast at about the same time. Phoenix is not the worst investment where you're at in the game. They make Galactic War super easy. They're good for GAC where you're at. They'll do fine in the arena climb. They have decent ships. They're not end game but they're a great stepping stone.

Forgot to add about the guild store. I would say it depends. You can start on some good teams there. So it depends on what you want and where you're lacking which is everything because you recently started. Dengar is a decent choice. Reason being is he's a scoundrel and that will help with getting more credits as you'll need a team of scoundrels for that. Another easy pic for that is Cad Bane from the GW store. Finish Zeb first then I'd say go after Cad. I can't remember if you need a full team of 5, but more is always better. Again, full teams are the goal. Get Boba out of the Cantina store, he'll be your lead and is a good character for a while. Again farm him after chopper. If you do Greedo and IG-88 after Tarkin, you have a full team. This will also help you towards Chewie but that can come later.
If you're not liking that option, between the cantina stores and the guild store you can get a full clone team set up which is good. A few even have ships which is a bonus.
If you're not liking that option, you could do Geos/Sepratists. Poggle, Nute, Asaaj, Sun Fac, B2, IG-100, Geo soldier, geo spy and Grievous are are in the stores so you could throw a team together based on which stores you'd rather pull from and what team you'd like to create.
No matter what you do though, pick a path and stick with it. Set a goal of getting a specific team together and follow through. If you waiver between different teams you'll suffer and and the game becomes less fun then. Knowing when to switch over is good too though. If you start seeing another team regularly in arena, fleet arena, GAC or TW and you haven't started on that team, ask yourself what your plan is in that game mode. I'm starting to suffer in both my arena's because I took too long to move on to the next step in both and now I'm behind.

swgoh.gg has meta team reports, and is a good resource, but since you are new it will show mainly GL's etc. EP(lead zeta) vader (with merciless zeta at least), thrawn dbast + 1 (tarkin maybe bc of his ship, not sure where you are on that, unless you use thrawn's ship) is a pretty good team. You should also think about farming the bugs, for both arena and ships.

guild store look for ewoks, there are some that pop up (wicket/paploo/logray, not sure which pop up)

Vader shards only come in small bunches from achievements, and are sometimes available in the stores iirc(can't remember which, sorry)

you should transition to empire/sith or bugs as soon as you can probably. try teams out and see how it goes. Geos will also get you to padme, which is a much better long-term arena team than empire or bugs.

try and get some high level allies so you can beat tougher missions to get the rewards (regular, cantina etc)

Don't buy anyone in the Guild Store that you can get elsewhere. Only buy gear or store-specific characters. It's a waste of currency otherwise, especially considering the higher price.

Never said get them all right away. So don't go saying that's what I said.

I said don't buy characters from there that you can get elsewhere.

The point of my list was moreso: if you're going to buy someone from there, consider Logray or Dengar over Young Han or Jyn, or the ship.

What I actually said was "buy gear OR store-specific characters" (extra emphasis on the or)

this I agree with. It seemed like a "buy these" list, not an ordered list. A new player should focus on the ewok and dengar (for chewie) imo. yay we agree lol

Thank you! Why is everyone recommending ewoks? For C3PO? I might not get the point but is he that OP?
Also, I understand that buying gear in GS is not a waste?
