Okay, first:
Never be afraid to ask for help. it's fine.
Second, GW does get more difficult at between-levels. That's normal. When you are crushing the Fleet Arena you'll have extra crystals to spend and you can improve your characters so much faster.
Think of it like this: What if it was going to take you 6 weeks to get each of your characters ready. BUT... you couldn't start for 8 weeks because you're sole focus right now is fleet. BUT... after those 8 weeks you could get 1 character ready per week.
Sure, you're going to be three weeks behind on that first character, since 8 + 1 = 9. But you'll be a couple weeks ahead on the 2nd character since 9 + 1 = 10 but 2 x 6 = 12. And you'll get farther & farther ahead every time you train up a new toon in 1 week instead of 6. That 3rd one would be yours on Week 11 with the Fleet Arena plan, but week 18 if you raced ahead with toons.
Now, those numbers are made up, they're not meant to tell you exactly how long things are taking or will take, but that's just an example to prove the point that if you can increase your resources by taking a couple weeks away from the thing that feels important, you might actually find that you get to your real goal quicker. Your real goal isn't finishing Galactic War today. Your real goals are much bigger than that and GW is just a step on the way. But Fleet Arena is a bigger step and you win in Fleet Arena by getting ahead early. Everyone is going to continue to develop their ships, so if you can't zoom into the top 50 right away, it's going to be harder to get there later. You can make small, everday improvements, but you'll only be keeping up with your competition, not surpassing them.
That's why you've got that big store of GW Tokens. I doubt anyone else you'll be playing against has that much currency saved to get out ahead on Geonosian ships.
it's normal to doubt since you don't have a lot of experience in the game and you haven't seen how good things can snowball into better things into amazing things. it's also normal to be a bit distracted, even bewildered by the multitude of things to do, and all of them feel like you have to do them RIGHT NOW. But that's not true. Everyone else is just as torn in different directions as you are. Take a breath. Get yourself back on the track you want to be on, and everything will be fine. There's no crisis here. Most people aren't planning ahead hardly at all, so if you took a week or two off the plan, you're still way ahead of them.
Things will be fine. There's no reason to panic.
Now, other things: I've sent you an ally invitation. If you accept it, you can play with my toys to get you through your Regular Energy, Cantina Energy, and Mod Energy battles. I haven't set up Dark Side battles yet, so it might have a mediocre character, but in a couple hours I will use SLKR there as my leader which will make him the toon you can borrow. on LS you get GL Rey. On Cantina & Mod Battles you get SLKR again in both places.
SLKR can solo all those battles, so you should be fine. For most of those battles, just put in any character that can survive while my SLKR trashes the enemy. You don't have to worry about your toons defeating the enemy. Just make sure that they stay alive & everything else will be fine. You'll 3* everything.
Unfortunately you can only use my toons 1x per day, but that's enough. Just do one new battle every day. No worrying about how long it's going to take, this is a game that people play for years. I'll try to get you boosted as fast as possible, but it's still a game that never really ends. There's always something to do, even for me 5 years in.
Now, Galactic War is **horribly difficult** with your roster, and it gets harder all the time. Your savior here is going to be Bastila. I know you're working on her. You just have to keep pushing. Once you have Bastila and 4 other Jedi (even if they're bad Jedi) you'll be back to winning GW and things will get much better.
Bastila is your key GW toon, okay? If you're worried about GW, we can find a way to help you farm Bastila faster, but don't worry about other toons. Bastila is the GW killer.
I'll take a look at your plan again, to see if there's anything else we should change, but you have both Spy and Soldier at 4 stars. Get Spy up to g7 and you'll be right on schedule. You also have KRU at 5*, so that is also a great head start on the people you'll be fighting.
One worry for me is that I don't see Sun Fac on your roster yet. I'll check things out to make sure the plan has you picking up Sun Fac.
Now, final step for this moment: You're thinking about spending money. That's FINE. You don't have to spend money, but you can.
The best thing to spend money on, if you're going to, is the Hound's Tooth back that gives you 80 shards of Bossk who is normally only available at level 85. With a 4* Bossk and an unlocked HT ship, you would definitely have an advantage over other people. A lot of your early fights will be easy for you.
BUT... the HT pack with Bossk & Ship costs $25 not $10. Off the top of my head I can't think of a package that costs $10 and would make a crucial difference, although if there's a pack that will let you buy Bastila that's $10, you could buy that one.
So spend nothing, spend to get Bastila, or spend to get HT & Bossk. Any of those three options are good.
Please remember though that I'm not telling you to spend money. Money does buy advantages, and you can turn those advantages into bigger rewards. If you just tried to buy crystals for $25 you wouldn't get nearly as many as you will get from getting Hound's Tooth early -- plus you have the Hound's Tooth on top of all those extra crystals.
But not all spending buys you a good advantage. There are lots of packs to buy and most of them won't move you up in fleet arena or squad arena, and they won't instantly make a difference in GW either.
On top of that, you're feeling a bit panicked right now. Making a decision about how much to spend when you're panicked is never a good idea. Take a breath. Fleet Arena doesn't start until level 60 so you have a couple days. Then look and see if you can even find those packs in the store. (They come and go.) When you're calm, if the packs are there, make a decision then. Whatever you do, everyone on the forum will still be happy to help you. No one is judging you for getting behind on your plan, and no one will judge you for spending money ... or for not spending money. Most people play the game for free.
Okay, i hope that helps. I'll double check the plan to make sure it's as good as can be, then I'll check back in again.
Take care.
