Start hoarding Arena/GW tokens??

So I will finish Sid/Lumi both tomorrow. Outside of building a droid squad nothing in arena really interests me. In GW I previously planned on starting Phasma. BUT with the release of QJC in cantina shipments I am kinda thinking about just saving up for a month or so. Any thoughts?

    I dont understand why to hoard any shipments. Ok, example: I get to pick 3 GW shipments (1,2 k GW tokens) a day, which is max. After every time you spend 400 on a shipment, you have to wait 6 hours. So by the time you are done spending the 1,2 k tokens, you get another(except if you ain't sleeping ;-) ) 1,2 k tokens from a new GW. So whats the point of hoarding those tokens if you basically have a constant income of tokens?


    because GW is a volatile environment. They might fix it again to make it tougher and more difficult.

    See my post in the Guides section.
    Also, GW has the cheapest "speed buy" option in the game. Cantina and Arena refreshes cost 50 crystals. In GW you give up 5 shards and get 40 refreshes. You can catch up fast.
    I'm hoarding in all modes for two reasons: 1. I can barely keep up with the credit cost of leveling my main 10 or 12 without more new chars; 2. Big changes are coming.
    I have enough GW tokens saved up to 6* any new character immediately. Less in other modes.

    I agree totally. I am going all-in on QJC but I won't be spending any arena/GW tokens.
  • It'd be great if Rey, Leia, and FOTP could be dropped into GW and Squad Arena shipments. Thanks!

    GW Shipments = 15 shards per day, assuming you complete GW
    Arena Shipments = 1.75-12.5 shards per day, depending on ranking
    Cantina Shipments = 2.5-7.5 shards per day (no refills to 2 cantina refills)


  • If FOTP was in GW alongside Resistance Pilot I'd be ecstatic.

    I can't see Rey being in shipments for at least another month or two. Three nodes is pretty good, I got 6 shards of her yesterday, that's better than cantina shipments on average.

    Leia is kinda poopy but if she was in arena I'd totally go for her.

    P2W rage is coming I can smell the salt in the air. :*

    You post assumes they wont add 2 new heroes to GW, if they do you can buy 3 shipments of each for as many days as you banked. Also assuming you dont need the heroes right away, worst case is you have lets say 52,800 tokens saved up and they dont add a single hero to GW, you can then pull 3 heroes from each of the 3 pulls for 22 days and have 3 7* heroes, so if you dont need heroes right away at worst it costs you 22 days from when you decide you want one.

    Did you notice you had to restart the client today? I did, apparently they changed the refresh costs. Take a look.
