Any rookies that are starting off the game and want some help or guidance, don’t hesitate to ask! I’m your guy

Genuine question that warrants asking - why are you the guy?

:smile:

I guess it was a figure of speech. I’ve played the game a long time, I get 1st in Squad and 1st in fleet arena. I am able to solo both raids, and have every “legendary” Character at 7 stars. I’m good at the game, I know the game, I study the game. I meant no offense, i’m only trying to help others.

Another genuine question - Don't you think that newbies already have the guides to ask doubts? :lol:

Well since nobody seems to take this seriously, i’m just going to delete the thread. I apologize to those that took offense.

Hey, should I level up my first characters first, or level up gear, or level up their stars? What's the best way to optimize my time in regards to farming?

Umm, I don't know if I'm "THE GUY"®, but I can offer a few suggestions.

Usually, you can do all three at once, and they're not mutually exclusive. But generally speaking, gear will make by far the biggest difference in a character's actual performance. Some characters, such as Darth Nihilus, are absolutely arena viable at 3* as along as their gear is decently high. Of course, a toon with good gear but level 1 isn't going to do anything either. But you'll just see much better improvements with gear than with a few levels or even a star.

Sometimes you might have to choose though if, for example, you have the credits to add a star or do some leveling, but not both. In that case, go for the star. It's usually not necessary to have every character at max level as long as they're high enough for the gear and abilities that you want, and not every character is good enough to warrant maxing their level, gear, or abilities (e.g., only use Clone Wars Chewbacca until you can replace him; dump him as soon as you can). An exception though is your arena team, which should always be kept at max level if you can afford it; anything lower can make you a target.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Gufu, helping somebody out. That was my intentions.

Whats the best way to hit #1 fleet arena?

Im usually around 50-100, and its quite hard going above that. Run 6* Chimaera, fotp, biggs, TP, BF, and DV. Reinforcements are Cassian, Wedge, and scimitar. Farming Tie reaper but its been slow, along with trying to gear the pilots for that one.

Tie Reaper will help you get there, but you are running a great team with 4 of the best 5 ships in the game. To get the ships stats boosted to the max, make sure every character that are the pilots of the ships to be 7 Star, gear 12, maxed ability levels, AND 5, 5 dot mods all at level 15. Doesn’t matter the mods stats, just matters dots and level. I run your team, but have Tie Reaper instead of Boba Fett, and I am able to get first every day. My reinforcements are Boba Fett, Wedge, Phantom, Ghost.

Absolutely no offence taken at all Thunder- and I sincerely hope none was caused, not my intention.

I wanted you to explain a little more about yourself so others could decide if they wanted to field questions to you. And you did just that- so thanks :smile:

Now, of course, the test will be the quality of your advice :smile:

The only thing I would add to this is to build up a reserve of credits. When I was coming up I would have at minimum 1-2 million credits in reserve. After mods came out it was 5 mill so I could buy a mod in the shop. Now, it’s 10 million minimum. Unless I do something stupid and level a toon from 1-85. I do that so that I can always level, add a star, or buy any mods. It just takes some discipline.

Gear is always important. A 7* g6 isn’t going to do much. That being said, still farm hard nodes looking for gear on those nodes. For instance, node 7-C hard on dark side is a good one to farm because it drops guns and detonators, both of which will always be important. Very few people farm it for Plo Koon. But this way you are getting character shards, at least.
