Squad / GW suggestions

lv 81 here, im using mace (l), plo, jc, ashoka (half of my fleet crew) and qgj (they're at lv 70 g7/8) to finish from node 1 to 5 and part of 6, after my jedis got smashed there i throw whatever i can to finish that node 6, or at least kill some guys haha
then change to wedge (l), biggs, lando, sth and boba (they're at lv 80 g9/10), they finish 6/7 to 12 pretty easy atm

I use Luminara (L), Jedi Counselor, Barris Offee, Royal Guard, and Geonosean Soldier or QGJ. I use them until I get to a node that sucks and send in a less than great droid squad to waste a few Specials. Then tray again with my main. Back out if not going to happen then send in the Rebels to tear up a little. Try again with my Main.

Basically, I just send in teams with synergy to break them down. That said Since they updated GW I run into the hacksaw on nodes 6, 10, and 12 so by the time I get to node 11 i may be tapped out.

3 healers, a tank, and a dps seem to help me gain the most resources from Galactic War

Thanks for the responses.
For farming should I farm QG till max, max Ackbar or start on STH in squad?
After maxing CP who should I farm in GW?
I'm farming Vader in ships.
I have 6k in guild. Any suggestions on who to farm there?

Feeling the same as Vegabond. Fairly new player at Level 69.
Having trouble with squad and GW tough to hit 12 once a week. Get stuck 6-10 range a lot.
Playing Phasma as lead, Lumi, Barris, Boba, Quin in Arena.
Any suggestions on farming, which direction to go? Here is what I have. Thx.

Lumi - Max gear 8
Boba - Max gear 8
Lando - Max gear 7

Phasma- 6 stars gear 7
Ackbar - 6 stars gear 7
JC - 6 stars gear 7
HK-47 - 6 stars gear 7
Mace - 6 stars gear 6

Barriss- 5 stars gear 7
Qui - 5 stars gear 7
Old Ben - 5 stars gear 7
Vader - 5 stars gear 7
Daka - 5 stars gear 7
Dooka 5 stars gear 7
Talia 5 stars gear 7
Kylo - 5 stars gear 6
Sid - 5 stars gear 6
Wedge 5 stars gear 4

Leia - 4 stars gear 7

Sun Fac, chewe, tarkin, Luke, Darth Maul, B2, Ima, geon spy, asajj all 4 stars.

The health amount Barris gains when she hits G8 is immense. Looking at what you posted, I feel that is the single best(easiest) thing you could do with your squad. I would also Star/gear up sun fac. I'm level 71 and my galactic war stars are Lumi/Barriis in the heal department and RG/Vader/Sunfac. Tanks take the hits, healers do what they do best. Sprinkle a couple DPS characters with them and be prepared to retreat often while remembering the successful ones so you can change the one where it all went bad. I've had a pretty lucky streak right now, but I think it's because I spend a lot of time retreating and changing the move that went bad. Better mods and more synergy in my teams will alleviate the time it takes I think, but getting better mods/gear has been a slow process.

Thanks. I just got Barriss to gear 8.
I have a four star Baze with gear 6 which I forgot to mention. Not sure if he will be a viable option at 4 stars if I gear him up to 7 or 8.

I normally run a pure Jedi team lead by Barriss all the way through. They are all mod'ed HP mods, so higher HP and her lead ability keeps them going even at the end. Sometimes I will have a certain team ( going to happen no matter what every now and then ) that I send in a different squad to soften them up, break their specials up so on.
JC as much as I dislike him overall, is decent in GW. Just fire off his Heal when it comes off CD, mixed in with Barriss Lead ability and her heal, you are probably going to be sitting rather decent.
I have phased out JC for Ahsoka, but only because I have her omega running, so she keeps most of the team topped off in any type of pinch if Barriss is on CD.

I am curious of your gear levels...I am tempted to try that as I start working massive overtime for the next 8 months and won't have the hour plus I spend now to complete it. I don't want to break my win streak and try it now, but my Barris, JC, and QGJ are all G8 and Lumi and Ashoka/Mace G7. Their levels range from 58-62 because I'm very short on credits and my mods are crap still. I am only level 71 so I haven't faced any Zeta teams in GW yet, but I do see between 2 and 4 level 80 plus, abilities maxed teams per day. I just unlocked Barris yesterday, so she is only 4 stars, but I saved gear and got her to 8 already and boy did she make a difference today. Only having Lumi and JC to heal was starting to fail. If it weren't for the high health of Vader, RG, and Sunfac, I would have lost today for sure.

My advice is to pick 3-4 teams that work well, use each of them once in the first 3-4 nodes so they have turn meter then run your A team for the rest, swapping in a fresh team with turn meter whenever needed.

I'm level 85 so while this is not particularly helpful for you, what I do is I have an empire/sith team which works great vs Jedi, so I charge them up in node 1.

Then I charge a straight DPS phasma lead team in node 2

A rebel wiggs team in node 3

Then in node 4 I use my droid team and keep using them until they are either dead or I run into a team that is much better handled by one of the previous teams.

And finally I keep my arena team in reserve Incase I get into a real jam.

Again I know this is not something you can exactly do but I think the philosophy should still work for you.

Level 72 - In GW I run Lumi (L), QGJ, Aayla, Sun Fac, and Royal Guard all the way through. Sometimes I sub in Ackbar if I need a clense. (I finish GW 9/10 times)

Running Lumi (L) is good for the battle of attrition. Everyone gains health every turn they take.
Having a good tank will go a long way too.

A triple heal would probably let you through most of GW. Maybe try Lumi (L), Boba, Lando, Ackbar, and either JC or Barris.

Also you can always retreat and restart a global war match if you have some bad luck. You can try a different combination.

Thanks. I keep forgetting about the ability to retreat.

For farming should I farm Leia to 5 stars or start on STH in Arena?
After maxing CP who should I farm in GW?
Farm Ackbar to max, Darth Vader or Sun Fac in Fleet store?
