Returning Player - GAC
Hey all, I have a question about what I should about GAC. I'm in Division 11 with a GP of 598k, which means if I increase my GP then I'll be put in division 10 and potentially fight people with 800k G...

Thanks for the reply. My roster is here: https://swgoh.gg/p/757612489/characters/
You answered a lot of questions I had. I don't feel like I'm doing that well in GAC so I decided to increase my GP today. Hopefully division 10 will be better, we'll see. I'm in an amazing guild already. They've helped me a lot. My arena team is Bastila *6 (close to *7) gear X (close to XI), GMY *7 gear XI, Jolee *4 (close to *5) gear X (close to XI), Ezra *7 gear 8, and Old Ben *7 gear 9. I'm close to Hermit Yoda *5 and General Kenobi *5. I'll swap these two for Old Ben and Ezra eventually (unless I get JKR first - then I'll use him instead of Ezra and Hermit Yoda). My arena shard is one of the originals so I'm fighting a lot of gear 12-13 and relic players around rank 500. I know I won't be able to push this rating much until I get more gear on my Jedi. I'm even further behind on fleets but it's a work in progress. The top of my arena bracket is full of GL and the top of my fleet arena is nego/mal *7 ships.
How I increased my GP: I geared Jolee to X and GMY to XI. My ability material MK III and other gear went to my bounty hunter squad. I unlocked HT *3 and Bossk *2. I promoted characters (Jango *3, Consular *5, Ahsoka Tano *5, Resistance Pilot *5, Ezra *7, Kanan *7, Chopper *7, will promote Hera to *7 soon). I leveled up Vader and my phoenix squad to 85. I leveled up my bounters to 75 (Boba was already 85). I ended up making Mando lead to potentially use my BH on offense in GAC and use phoenix on defense instead (we'll see how matchups work). I used omega abilities on vader and on every phoenix's unique ability. I worked on the pilots Bossk, Vader, Ahsoka, Resistance Pilot and Consular (I only promoted Ahsoka, RP, and Consular to *5) to help me in fleet battles/defense in GAC.
Why I didn't use certain teams: I don't have Traya yet. I'm 90/145 shards on her. It'll be around 2 months before I get her I think. Sion and DN are level 1 and gear 1.
I didn't want to use cantina energy on TFP. He's *5 and I felt like I would need to get him to *7. I'm going to use my cantina energy on Mission Vao and T3-M4 for JKR. Once I have him then I can make a subpar Jedi team on defense with Zeta Bastila (I need 8 more zetas or so). Rest of my future zeta will go toward JKR to increase my arena rating. Also, people say empire teams are not very good.
Your break down of the abilities showed me squads can still be decent with low ability levels. I dropped like 120 ability MK III on my BH team (Mando *3 Lead, Bossk *2, Boba *7, Jango *3 and Greef *3). I'm going to keep working on Bossk and Jango each day. I think in a month Mando and Greef will be farmable so I will farm them eventually too.
Overall I'm trying to be selective on my GP now. Only increasing it on things I think will matter long term.
