Separatists: Dooku or GG

Hi...yeah that's right.....GG and the Droids ( Magna / B1 / B2 ) give you a good team. Especially later in teh Game with an R7 GG ;-) Also GG is a better choice in regards to Fleets.....his Battleship ( Malevolence ) is a real offensive PowerHouse

So I do not need to invest in Dooku?

You could invest in Dooku now if you want since Grievous is more down the road.

But I personally recommend the 5 geos. Since Brood Alpha's node is unlocked later on I would run the 4 other geos with either Nute or Dooku lead.

That would mean farming Geo spy instead of Magnaguard from cantina nodes and Sun fac from guild and fleet shipments.

Go for Doku now and for GG later on. Iirc ships dont unlock before you are Level60 and the fleet store is the only place where you can farm GG at a reasonable price (alternatives are the Shard shop for 75x value or $-Packs). Also GG is not thaaat viable at low gear and you probably wont be able to unlock his Capital Ship for the next 7months or more as you need to hit Level 65 to be able to participate in guild events which currently are the only place where you can earn the needed currency.

I would farm for Dooku, because you can get an earlier game lead with him and Nute Gunray. Nute Gunray is available from the Squad Arena store, and is super valuable.

@Bytestream @TheMaster12345 @HTWarrior @jawa7778 Thank you for your replies! I also have some other noob questions if you could please:
- Are ship battles that important? I don't even have them unlocked;
- What is the best way to spend my pink crystals - energy I guess? Is it wise to spend it on coupons (green)?
- When you say "go for Dooku" or any other character - does taht mean 7 stars max equip? Or smth different?
- With my current setup, I feel like I'm out of energy except morning/night so there is basically nothing to do in the game during the day - am I doing smth wrong?

1. Ship battles are important - they are like normal hard battles, they unlock characters and ships for you by giving you shards.
2. Best way to spend crystals is to get energy refreshes. When you hit level 60, you will get plenty of green sim tickets every day from fleet arena. Until then, buying them is very helpful, although energy refreshes will give you 20 of them each refresh (i think its 20 at least).
3. Yes, that means to get them 7 stars. You want dooku for the padme event, and getting padme is the goal of these separatists. Which is why you should hold off going for Grievous, the only way to get him is from the fleet store, and he rarely shows up there. He will take SUPER SUPER long to get, especially to get 7*. His droid team is a more end game team.
4. Youre not doing anything wrong, just spend you energy farming your characters, and gear for them, otherwise, you'll unlock galactic war soon, so you can spend your time doing that as well.

Hope this helps, farming B2 once you get magnaguard to 7 stars is a great idea, he is the most usefull character for padme event, and is just solid in general. He will replace geo soldier.
Also getting ventress once you get nute up to 5 or six stars is a good idea as well, she does lots of damage, which is one thing that team lacks. Then get nute and her to 7*.

Happy farming :)

Thank you a million! At least I have a better picture on what I'm doing!
Everyone is saying getting Padme - what changes after I get her? I would still have to upgrade her? What about the team that I must use with her?

So, imagine I get her in a few months, what would be my next goal?

Ok, so, the reason people are saying get Padme is because she is a pretty meta team. Her leadership applies to all light side allies, but she has bonuses with Galactic Republic characters, and there are a lot of Galactic Republic characters. The change will probably be in your arena rank, you'll be able to beat a lot more teams. Yes, you'd still have to upgrade her, but because she is meta she is worth it. Like I said, you can technically use any light side team, but I'd use a Galactic Republic team. Most people use Padme, General Kenobi, Ahsoka, Jedi Knight Anakin, and then sometimes C-3po.

You could also put in Yoda instead of C-3P0.
