Shards vs Mods

It depend.. if u want to stay on top 10 arena, u need better mod. But mod drop in challenge not very good, but plz go ahead if u want to try ur luck at least now 100% drop rate. Speed secondary upgrade to +15 is like jackpot in mod challenge.

potentially getting a good mod > shards for characters you don't have the gear for because they'll be low on the priority list
That said, i've been farming mods like a maniac (3x100 pretty much every day since 100% droprate, only took a brief break to farm hera/ezra for thrawn) without getting many that actually are an improvement for my arena team. Like racerdejak said, +15 speed is like the jackpot and would be an improvement for my arena team.

Do you already have Hera and Ezra for the Thrawn event?

You could farm mods 1 or 2 days per week and the other days farm shards

This is a good idea I hear a lot of people say. During week farm shards. Weekend is mods.

I find farming mods to be incredibly boring and frustrating. So I farm shards. It's more fun. And because I have more characters, I can more easily adjust to whatever new meta comes up. I've had no problems staying top of the arena for the past year.

Farming mods only, need too much credit for me so I do shards 5 days of the week with only 1 try a day for mods with my excess energy and then 2 days for mods.

Mods.

I stopped mods for Finn and Phoenix chars recently, but mods are forever.

And you can switch them around as your inventory grows.

Why does it have to an absolute for either?

If need or want a toon soon, I do 100% shards. I needed Ben so just did that, but once I got him 7* I went back to 50% finishing Phoenix to 7* and the other half on mod farming.

That said, getting decent mods takes a lot of energy. It's rare to get speed, it's rare to get a gold drop and in the small chance you get both, the probability the ending speed is good, is small.

@leef
To entertain myself, i am happy when get what i consider rare mod like:
- Triangle with primary critical damage/chance (to fit in destroyer setup 4x crit damage, 2x crit chance)
- Cross with primary potency (would be nice if the type of mod is potency)
- Health mod with protection primary and big protection secondary (i like to setup tank with prot more than 70k)

Speed secondary is big jackpot.. but i have to be realistic, so that i'm not too dissapointed :#
