@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.

Wow that's massive - thanks! When you say doing good in the arena - which place should it be? I'm balancing somewhere around 350-450 rank all the time and just can't push further to top 200 so I get 500 currency for Kanan + 200 for daily quest.

Honestly, that's where' I've been most of the time and I say I'm doing decently. Of course, getting closer to the top is better. I've more focused on a spread of characters than pushing my arena team though so pushing past 200 hasn't been a priority. That being said I was in the 100-200 range for a while which was nice but I wasn't dropping too much prior to payout so it wasn't painful to get back to it. The reason for pushing to better in arena is not for the SA currency although it is nice to have, it's for the crystals. This is more for long term but crystals get you eng and node refreshes as well as can help you purchase gear you need to gear up your characters quicker from shipments. I use all my crystals for eng refreshes as I see that as the best investment for me based on where I'm at in the game and how much I want to commit to the game. But, you like me get 60 crystals a day from arena whereas the no. 1 spot takes 500. I mean, ya 900 vs 500 SA tokens is nice and will basically double how quick you can get Kanan and the others but the main thing is the crystals and unless you're pushing into the very top, is it worth that much extra effort? You have to decide that for yourself. I'd love to be top 100. I did it once, but the climb and what not isn't my thing and never has been. I'd love the extra crystals but it's not realistic for how I play. I've included a table of payouts for reference. I never added the credits as I wasn't that worried about it ever, by comparison.
