I could use some advice. I love this game but I feel like I've made some mistakes getting to this point and don't know if I should continue or start from scratch.I'm level 71. I'm at #1603 in squad arena and struggle to stay there. I'm #1017 in Ships and I hang around high 900s to low 1,000s. My squad is not harmonious, but I don't have many options because my toons that are strong enough to be taken to battle don't really match up. On top of that, I didn't play swgoh for a while and just started up again. Last time I was here heals still mattered. I've been working on Phoenix for the past few days, so I can hopefully be ready for a Palpatine and/or Thrawn event in the future. I keep seeing this advice everywhere, so I've been going with it. Is it just me or did Galactic War get 10x harder? I used to use it for a lot of my income but I can't get more than a few nodes in, now. Any advice there? I'm very lucky to get to 300 GW tokens in a day.That's indicative of my biggest problem. I feel like the game expects me to be a lot stronger than I am, so everything feels difficult.Here is my swgoh.gg link: https://swgoh.gg/u/tarasca/ Yeah, I know. But at the time, Jedi Consular seemed pretty good.Thanks for reading this! :)

Ok, looking over your roster, you really just need some focus. You have a couple of team bases (Rebels, Sith) that could probably move you up in Arena and help you get through GW, but they're not developed. Rather than starting over with yet another faction, maybe build on what you have so you can get your income sorted out.If you want to salvage this, I think your Rebel team can bring you up (and can get you Palp someday). Leia, Biggs, STHan, JC, and K-2SO or Boba can get you along if you develop them better. In the meantime, farm Wedge from Cantina. Another option would be Vader, Sidious, Dooku, KRU, and JC. (Until you get a self-healing mechanism, a healer can help.) Use both of these squads in GW, mix and match as needed, and use the restart button liberally.It looks like you're having a credit crunch problem. You've got a lot of toons unlocked, but only a couple are leveled up. Getting a squad of 5 toons to your max level is going to make a big difference for you. It will put your potency/tenacity on par with what you're facing in GW and arena, and well as increasing the stats of your toons overall. Scoundrels let you complete credit heists. You want to complete the highest-level heist available to you. If you can't do that, you need to focus on getting your scoundrels geared and modded.Be very focused in your gear and credits. Don't unlock, star, or level toons unless you're going to use them immediately. Don't add gear on them just because you have it. A little discipline goes a long way.Finally, are you in a guild that's helping you grow? At your level, you'll benefit a lot from Heroic Pit raids 3 times a week and AAT at least once a week. If your guild can't do that, find one that can.

Thank you so much for the advice, everyone! @nobodyfromjakku I took your advice on the Sith team and I'm doing much better in GW which is a relief. The rebel team isn't quite up to scratch--especially with STH being as weak as he is. At any rate, I think I'll be back on the path to success, soon!

Build a farming sheet, I spent up to maybe level 60-65 just random farming characters I liked just to unlock them and had a lot of low starred/geared toons with no value or synergy. I then got an Excel sheet of this forum with which shop/node each and every character/ship is available on and prioritised each one so I wasn't wasting resources and it made a massive difference just to have a focus. I suddenly was getting teams instead of individuals and opening up a lot more game content and rewards as a result.Also switching guilds as mine was only half full and the additional raid rewards have sped up my progress a lot.

Thank you so much everyone for your help. As of five minutes ago I unlocked Emperor Palpatine at 6 stars! My rebel Wiggs synergy team has gotten me above #1000 in arena and I think I can push a little higher. I'm about #850 or so in fleet arena. I never thought I'd get there. I'm in a new guild and I'm contributing very very slightly to raids and territory battles and gaining a lot in return. I can get through GW with no trouble almost every day, which is giving me the credits and materials to get my abilities and levels to a more reasonable level. No Thrawn this time, but I didn't expect to get Palpatine so i'm at peace with missing him for now. :)I have a farming sheet now, I'm focused and the game is a lot more fun. Again, thank you everyone for your help!

Dude i was in basically the exact same position as you! near enough everything you said i could relate to. And thanks to everyone on this post and those who comment on threads i had posted i am in a much better position now like you. GW is a breeze to complete each day and ive also broke through the 1000 barrier in arena! I just unlocked palp at 6* as well and the game is a lot more enjoyable for me now too!Did we just become best friends?

I know I'm mid game due to GW. The last few days it's been a real pain to complete. Really got tougher at about 79. Level 85 Zeta teams have started turning up.

Nest got me 2 days ago (I basically only have Nihilus 3* and he can't be kept alive long enough) and last night at node 12 it was a Zalpatine lead FO/Empire mix team (KRU and OG Kylo).

Phoenix are starting to not be all that.

I'm keeping a few million around so I can level them once I hit 81. 7* Thrawn is just out of reach.

Phoenix can pretty much solo GW....HOWEVER, against an anomaly Zeta team it really helps to have a couple of backup teams that can take out 1 or 2 from that team, then roll out your Phoenix team. E.g. Wiggs, Leia, TFP etc can usually eliminate a high priority target like Palps.....then your Phoenix is 5 vs 4

I also disagree with people saying “running Phoenix at 80-85” is not midgame. I kept pushing my Phoenix to G11, 7* Sabine whilst replacing with Empire in Arena. I don’t regret having pushed my Phoenix to the limit....they are helpful in other areas of the game.

My backup Empire team is around 70 ish, Thrawn is a recent addition so he's not geared up yet. That got annihilated by last nights node 12 team without ever getting a turn. So that was my Palp (maxed lead sans Zeta), Vader, TFP, Tarkin and Boba (placeholder for Thrawn basically).

I got it eventually through sheer persistence but lost Ezra early so you can imagine how long that took in the end. Had to throw a team away to slow them down a bit and hurt Palp enough to bring him down fast.

Normally Phoenix do indeed smash it but there's a discrepancy in gear between G8 (Zeb) G9 (Kanan and Chopper) and the other two at 10. Too many stun guns needed.

The Nest I came across the night before was G11 with about 50K protection. I have nothing that could hit hard enough to deal with that. If I had Thrawn usable I could have fractured her and kept her locked down long enough to set up annihilate (I know fracture is generally a bad idea against nest, normally).

Just got Zebs unique omega'd which leaves me two uniques left to do. Ezra and Chopper. Once those are done I might end up back at easy mode GW with some mod adjustments.

Not really, personally two of my three main strategies for nest include fracture, yes one is anihilate but still.

1. fracture, tmr, stack debuffs, let her take a turn, culling blade one hit knockout

2. Fracture shut her down anihilate

TBH, If I could have got that protection off her she would fall over in one hit.

She was completely wrecking face though, she pretty much soloed my Empire team (not especially well tooled up). Tarkin was outta there fast (no culling blade setup). TIE pilot forget about it, Palp falls over if anybody sneezes.

It's a moot point anyway that was the first node 9 loss since maybe level 50 ish. I may need to setup a Nest destroyer team next time. Thrawn is a ways off being ready to take on an 85 anything though, even CUP.
