I have come to a stalemate around 1,000-2,000 now and trying to work out how to go forward.
I have my Bastila L team, and Palp L Empire team.
Bastila L, GMY, Ezra, Jolee, Hoda/OB
Palp L, Vader, Thrawn, Tarkin, Snowtrooper
I also am 2 toons away from CLS: OB 89/100 and Snowtrooper 67/100 (for R2).
I am 4 toons away from JKR for my Bastila L team: Jolee 34/100, Z 18/100, Mission 28/65, T3 51/100.
I have geos as an option, and Padme 5* but no GK/JKA for her yet.
For CLS, I am 123/145 on Han, and for Padme, I am 131/145 on GK.

I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding, but if you are looking to improve in the arenas, you need to pick one team. Not 5.

Of those teams listed, I would go with either JKR or Padme. Whichever you choose, that team is the only thing you are putting resources into gearing. I would pick Revan, much faster for you.

Do AT LEAST one energy refresh on Mission/the droid until they are done. Your goal right now is to unlock JKR. Put gear into your Jedi; you will get them all to gear12/13 ASAP. HYoda will be fine around gear 9 for now, 11 eventually. He doesn't need much gear, just enough so he doesn't get killed by a random AoE.
Your next arena team should be: JKR, Bastila, Jolee, GMY, HYoda. (yes, ik you have ezra geared, but eventually, HYoda will be more valuable.)

The reason I'm not saying stick with Vader is: your empire team is gear 8. That's not good enough for squad arena. Sure you have one gear 12, but that's obviously not cutting it right now.

Hope that helps

I'm giving options. Empire was developed for GAC and R2. Jedi was passion. Geos was for GAC and in turn Padme. CLS was becaue I was planning to eventually get there, and JKR is for my passion.

Ok, JKR it is. I'm one toon away from CLS now, but that's ok, I can pause it.

I'll try for 1 refresh, but considering the amount of crystals I get per day, it's not the easiest. I understand my Empire team, I really use it as a suicide squad where Vader remains and just whacks down geos/CLS/Bastila zetaless.

JKR is the way I guess. I g12ed Ezra cos I needed a decent damage dealer. Got OB and GMY 7* today, so he's back to doing decent damage. I'm mod-farming for GMY so he'll be better soon. I'm also aiming to g12 GMY today, before going and farming more stun guns for Bastila g12. Then for my Jolee, and I'll save up for JKR. I'll get to work on Hoda too. Thx.

Okay, I see what you're saying. I totally understand the want to have so many teams, but for arenas that's not going to help that much.

CLS can hold for now. I know he's super awesome and everything, but I would circle back to him and Chewie once you're finishing up JKR team gearing.

That refresh is super important. Try and do it when you can. Also, do both the regular and fleet energy battles for zaalbar and jolee. That will speed up the process significantly.

You can probably find ways to use Ezra still. Against some teams, he might be more useful than HYoda. Plus, he's 7 stars so he can be used in raids. Yes, you really need to work on your mods. Get all 5 dot mods on him, 6 dot when you can. Get a speed arrow, offense primary cross, crit damage/offense triange. You need to work on your mods. Make sure you use all your mod energy each day, and sell all of your sub-5-dot mods for some extra credits to upgrade some new 5 dot mods. Gear 12 Yoda is good. Does your guild do Heroic sith raid? You should be. That will help you get him relic.
