Returning after 1.5 years

Keep your account you have since it’ll be way easier to keep up with the game that way, even if your quite a bit behind.

- get the light side old republic chars
- gear up Bastila (she carries the JKR event) + Jolee (arena material)
- get JKR
- gear up JKR, GMY, GK and put zetas on JKR (3x), GMY (unique) and Jolee
- mod JKR for max speed, GMY for offense (high special damage) and Jolee for health + speed
- ???
- profit

My honest advice is just find a new game, because you'll never really catch up. Even if you dropped the insane amount of cash you'd need to make up the gear and shard gaps from a 1.5 year absence, you'll be behind the mod and zeta curves forever.

If you want to have a go at it anyway, you definitely want Jedi Revan - he won't be top arena material anymore by the time you get him (he really isn't even now, unless you have truly ludicrous mods), but he's the best Jedi leader by far and can plow through basically anything except Darth Revan.

Darth Revan is great also, but is really a PVP character - his performance in raids is OK, but nothing earth shattering. He also needs Malak on his team to really shine, and Malak is an absolute bear to get and star up. So you don't need to rush for Sith Empire since they almost certainly won't be top arena material anymore by the time you get them.

You'll want to get a Bounty Hunter team going as well - they've gotten much better since you played last, and are used to unlock Chewbacca. Their ships, in turn, are needed for the Millennium Falcon. Ewoks also now unlock C3P0, who supercharges Rebel teams.

Just those unlocks are enough to keep you busy for the next 6 months, by which time you should have a handle on what's what.

Yes, from a catching up with the game standpoint.

However, if you wish to keep up with competition, definitely go the starting over route.

Revans r so op, you can't compete without them. so you need to start over in order to be competitive
edit, u have quite a bit of stuff already i see, best advice was to find another game, but if going to play this 1 you really need to start farming jkr asap, and spend crystals doing it. once to get him everything will get easier, but it's going to take a long time

This makes no sense. They will spend the next 2 months trying to get to level 85. Aside from getting to level 85 you would have to grind out Phoenix to get Thrawn, grind out all the characters needed for CLS, jedi for GMY all of which you already have done. How is that better?

If you come in now as is start grinding kotor characters for JKR with Thrawn you will already be arena relevant and sith raid relevant.

Just my two cents though.

Keep your account I dunno what some people are suggesting... ??‍♂️

You have a great many characters that still are very valuable, but you won’t be too 50 in Arena anymore.

I notice you have a zeta Barriss. Great news is that GMY(L), zBarriss, Gen Kenobi, Ahsoka, and Jedi Knight Anakin are a great B team, since they all (except Barriss) got nice reworks. Work on getting Jedi Bastilla, since she’s the best Jedi leader other than Revan.

There is going to be a lot of clone wars content soon, and as weird as it sounds, work on the clones. Better safe than sorry and miss a potentially new legendary unlock

Wow that is sucky, bad time to start this game or come back to it :|

I last played when Jedi Training Rey came out. I used to be top 50 in arena. My arena team is the gk, cls, bariss, thrawn team (g12 ). Do I have to restart with a new account? Is it worth going for the revans or should I just wait for a new meta? Shouls I change my arena team to palp or something else even though those characters are only t10? Also my account: https://swgoh.gg/p/863479468/characters/

Why would you start over?!?! Your second option is to buy an account from someone that’s quitting.

It’s better if they want to compete because the people in their shard from 1.5 years ago are way ahead of them. If they created a new account, they would be at a level playing field with everyone else.
