So, I'm at the point where many of my characters can't do much of anything. They get crushed in Arena and Galactic War along with the normal battles. So obviously I need to gear them up more.The problem is most of the gear can only be found from doing high tiers of raids such as the Sith Academy and said raids are far too strong for my characters ((they can't even break through shields before the shields come back)). So I can't get the gear because I need to raid and I can't raid because my gear isn't good enough.What should I do? Is there anything that can make them stronger or am I doomed?

If the raids aren't being completed, you need to find a new guild.

Your guild is only 33 members. So that is almost always going to be a raid problem, and on top of that you will not be raiding as often as you could due to low ticket counts.You should work on that as your first real problem. If you fix your guild situation, I feel like your gear problem will solve itself.

So obviously I need to gear them up more.I just reread your original post. After seeing your roster it also seems like you need to find out WHICH characters to gear up. Don't waste gear on characters, you won't be using much any way.Furthermore, you are level 85 but only very few of your characters are higher than level 80. If you wish to climb in arenas, develop a team with good synergy, level them all to 85 and gear them up. Don't spread your gear and credits all over the place. Work on a few select characters at a time - with only a few 'side projects', which you may focus on later/next. Edit: "You will need credits to level up your characters. Make sure, that you can beat the highest tier of credit heist. You need those credits. A steady income of resources is key to success in this game."

I'm not trying to; I'm just confused by all of this.no worries. we are here to help.as we have said, you need to find a better guild. that is the starting point to getting on a better track. Like i said earlier, new guild with a full complement with a minimum goal of 600 for all every day. that will get you going. https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/categories/player-guildsplenty of guilds would love to have an interested player, take a look.

Are you still in a "starter" guild? Most "real" guilds should be finishing whatever raid they start, barring failed heroic attempts.

Even joining and getting a 0 will give you rewards.

I suggest looking in the "active guilds looking for players" section of the forums

Do what I do - spend crystals on gear from shipments instead of energy.

They're not appearing in the shipment is part of the problem. I would if I could but many aren't there.

You do have to sometimes wait a few days for what you need to pop up, but it's just more days to save up more crystals.

I would also add, you should start some sort of plan, your roster is spread out and you are missing some solid toons. Pick somewhere you want to focus and ask for help in the Arena and Character section of the forum. You can get some great guidance there.

What exactly do you mean by this? Like, what sort of areas could I possibly focus on? I've been doing groups lately ((Sith, Jedi, Scoundrels, etc)0 but always run into the gear problem and have to look elsewhere.

Please sign up for and post your swgoh.gg, it is likely you are spreading out the gear you are getting from the other raids too much and so it feels like you are not getting anywhere.

You could also focus on mods, good mods can really help in many situations where gear is lacking, at least to some extent

https://swgoh.gg/p/546399927/characters/

I'm not getting this high level raid gear I need because the raids aren't being completed. When I gear characters I tend to focus on a few at a time and then the character needs this really high level gear I can't get, so I move on to another character and it goes on and on.

Raids not completed? Like heroic tier, which are not completed within the two day time limit? Or non-heroics thst take days with refreshes? Or....what tier raids, is your guild doing? (Rancor, tank and sith).

Sometimes they're time limited but i think this one resets every day. But it's still far too strong for me to do anything. I can't even break through Nihilus' shield before he wipes me out.

So, Tank raids and Rancor raids are time-limited (heroic tier) while the sith raid is non-heroic? Is this, what you mean? If it is, then that's good for a start. Non-heroic sith may take several days. That's not unusual. And your problem with Nihilus' shield is a quite common problem until you learn the strategy and build suitable teams to perform well in that phase.

How often does your guild raid? If it only has 33 members, and if not all of them are active every day, you may not raid very often. I would still advice to join a guild that raids heroic Rancor at least twice a week and at least 3 heroic tank raids every two weeks.

Pick a game mode, build up to conquer it, then pick another one. Arena should always be a focus too, but let's start with raids. Can you solo the Pit raid? No? Look up a good team build up to meet that goal.

Do you have a fee good teams to beat the HAAT raid? No, build them up.

All of this can be done without HSR gear. But you need a guild that is at a minimum 50 players getting 600 each a day. If you dont have that standard than you have bigger problems then highest end raid gear.

Do you have all the teams for each legendary toon? Pick one, focus be ready the next time they come around.

Other areas to focus, TB special mission teams, TW teams, and ships. You cant pick too many, you need to prioritize and work up slowly. Again, all of these teams can get to a great place with the high end raid gear.

If you and your guild dont have HPit and HAAT on farm with 30k a day regularity, then you are missing the key steps to get you to where you need to be to get the highest end gear.

I know there is a lot going on in the game, but you have to focus on one thing at a time, and build up to the top. It's a long road, but with patience and focus you can get there.

I would suggest to read one of the beginners' guides found here on the forums to get an idea of what a good path for collecting and developing characters would be. It could give you advice on which legendary characters to unlock and in which order, as well as which teams are needed to unlock them.

none of them are timed. but the Sith raid is still really strong. I've helped before; they must have done a higher level this time. I've been able to help defeat all 3 bosses but not this time.

We almost always have a raid up. This one has been a loooong time though
