Quick roster review needed please

I posted this under character strat, hope that's right. https://swgoh.gg/p/596367121/

I've been playing a good while. GP 1M+. I targeted troopers, rebels, and bounty hunters early. And I had much early success. But I've lost focus on what's next. As expected, after the latest Raven event I'm sliding further down in ranks.

I have no Phoenix, FO, Jedi, resistance, night sisters, ewoks, old republic, revans...on and on. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed on what's next.

My focus lately has been ewoks to get c3po for my CLS squad. But not sure if I should develop other teams.

I'm seeking wisdom from the community. Much appreciated.
  • You rank in top-50 fleet (sometimes in top-20) and have a nice crystal income from there. Whatever legendary character, you choose to farm for, I would recommend going all-in on farming bountyhunter ships to at least 5* to unlock HMF to stay competitive (and maybe even be more competitive) in fleet arena.

    Also I would recommend getting your NS and ewok strong enough to do the Wicket/Talzin events. You might as well grab those 2 x 10 free shards every month.


    At your stage, you have several different routes to choose from, depending on your goals:


    • The ewok -> C-3P0 route. C-3P0 is a great addition to your CLS trio in arena/TW/GAC (and also other teams). Ewok are mediocre for TW/GAC.
    • The OR -> Revans route. Both Revans are great for arena/TW/GAC. JKR is great for STR - DR is ok. Some of the OR characters are great for TW/GAC - and some for arena as well (f.ex. Jolee, Bastilla x 2, Zaalbaar).
    • FO -> BB-8 and Resistance + veterans -> JTR. It's a long farm, but JTR is still viable for TW/GA, she's great for hSTR p1 and coupled with C-3P0, she and BB-8 form the base of a team that solo hAAT.
    • Phoenix -> Thrawn and Rebel Ships -> Chimaera. Thrawn is still one of the single best characters for TW/GAC.

    Good advice but I have to take exception with the Ewoks being mediocre in GA/TW. I've been finding that an Ewok team good enough to get C3PO (roughly 85K GP) will easily beat a zKru FO team of 95K GP and I also used them to counter a Carth OR team. The key is Logray and his daze. The Ewoks with Logray can be very useful to shut down any sort of assist/counter based team.
  • I find it most enjoyable to focus on one area of the game and improve my roster based on that. Your farming and gearing choices are going to be different depending on the game mode you like best.

    If you like raids best, I’d go the First Order to BB-8 to Jedi Training Rey route.
    If you’re into territory battles, go for Separatists.
    If you prefer territory wars & grand arena, farm Old Republic for the Revans.
    If fleet is your thing, Bounty Hunter ships for the Falcon.
    If you want to complement your Rebels in arena, farm Ewoks for C-3PO.

    When you make your decision, then stick with it and keep farming & gearing until they’re ready.
  • If you're looking to hold in squad arena, I would focus on your CLS Rebel squad. You only need your Ewoks built up to unlock C3P0 and star count isn't super important for him. Get the rest of your Rebels up to G12, make sure you've given them really fast mods, especially on R2 and CLS, and you'll likely be able to handle either Revan team much better than with BHs. That being said, if you can spare the resources since you already have the BH pilots built up, going for HMF would be pretty doable as well. The reason I'm recommending these as your first priorities is because you're closest to having these unlocked and developed, and you'll be able to maintain or improve in both arenas, grow your crystal income, and then do whatever you want next faster.
