Your definition of high level no longer is relevant.

If you haven't played in 2 years, you should probably start over. Whatever you currently have will be thoroughly obsolete and it'll be ages before you're able to even sort of get any crystal income going from arenas.

Could you be a little more.... Helpful?

The characters you mentioned above(with the exception of Yoda) haven't been viable for a long time.
If we are to sort different characters in groups and we say that the very best meta characters are 'A' and the worst characters, that 0.000001% of the players use are 'G', then your roster currently contains 'E' or 'F' characters. Your arena shard would be from the time you reached the level needed for arena. So the players from back then, who never stopped playing will be at the top with ~80 more top-notch characters.
When you say "High Level" I suppose you mean lvl 85 g10 or so. This has been irrelevant for years now.
Nowadays you have g13(which is super hard to get) and on top of g13 you have relics(which boost your stats like crazy), so you will never make it into top 10(which is where crystals come from). If you want to play you should probably start over so your arena is freshly new, like you.

If your favorite aspect of this game is arena, then I would start over if I we’re you. Will be very difficult to catch up.
If you enjoy everything else about the game, I would stay the course and keep my time already invested. This game is all about time and prioritizing the best squads. Money spent accelerates time. refreshes accelerate time.

The idea is that new account will be put in newer shard, and he will be more competitive on arena, resulting more crystals gain.
Still, my advice is run for your life. You managed to leave the game, just go away, it won’t make you any happier

He has like 15 characters, he can make that back in a month or two. He will never, ever catch up in arena unless he spends like $10k right now. If he doesn't catch up in arena, he doesn't have crystals to build up characters. If he can't do that, what will he play with?

This is not an account that has been inactive for 3-4 months, he's been inactive for years.

Actually I have about 60 characters? I was mainly just looking for advice on who to farm.. not bothered about arena I just play for a bit of fun. What teams are good right now? That sort of thing.

You can't farm anything without crystals, that is what I am trying to explain you. When I say you have 15 characters, I mean 15 characters at mid-gear(g10/g11) which is definitely not enough. I don't count characters that are simply unlocked and sit at g1-g6 and at 3 or 4 stars. Believe me when I tell you, that the time you will spend catching up with this account, will be 100 times more, than with starting over.

Now if you plan to spend a few hundred dollars a week, I will tell you what characters you need to farm, no problem. Otherwise it'll be a waste of time, as you won't have the crystals to farm anything.

If you are just looking to play for fun and aren't really concerned with PvP competitiveness/success, I would suggest farming the characters you like from Star Wars. Since you left there have been many additions, including major updates to the bounty hunters, sepratists, and the entire old republic era.

As for what teams are good right now, the Sith Empire team (Darth Revan, Malak, Fallen Bastila, HK-47, Sith Trooper/Marauder) is at the top of the arena meta, although a shift could be imminent to the recently released General Skywalker and the 501st clones.

Other top end teams: Jedi Revan lead jedi, Galactic republic under Padme, General Grevious (in a "nuke" droid team for arena, and a Sepratist droid team elsewhere), CLS rebels, and the Sith Triumvirate (Traya, Nihilus, Sion, +2 sith)

Outside of the top end the best squads to work on (in no particular order) would probably be:
Bounty hunters + their ships - Unlock chewie, the OT Falcon, help with credit heists and galactic bounties
Nightsisters - solid PvP team, 7* talzin will unlock an event for a few extra zeta mats per month
Old Republic - needed to unlock the Revans
JTR + Resistance - solid PvP, best Heroic Sith Raid phase 1 team, never know what else with Ep9
First Order - Needed for BB8 (gets JTR), also could get a bost with Ep9
Empire - unlocks R2D2 for Rebels, solid PvP team with a zeta lead Palpatine
Ewoks - Unlock C-3PO for Rebels/Galactic Republic

Finally, like another poster mentioned, linking your account to a swgoh.gg profile will help us help you.

You could keep your current account and start a new alt account. Run the 2 accounts for a bit and see which one you enjoy more.
