Things I've been wondering about as a new player

Hello everyone!

I am a new player who started playing Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes 11 days ago. So far I got to level 42. And I'd like to ask you a couple of questions!

1. Can someone please explain what is a "roster", in detail? I received very bad and minimal explanation so far
2. As a starter squad, is it good to use Fulcrum Ahsoka with Phoneix (Hera, Ezra, Kannan and Sabine)? Asking because that's my squad right now. I maxed her out, she is currently the most powerful character in my collection. Should she be replaced with Chopper? I really don't want to do that...
3. Is my squad good enough to take on Palpatine as I keep upgrading them?

Hope you're all having a great day!

    Thanks J! This clarifies many things!

    I got something more that bothers me...

    Today I got my first 2 dark side ships, and I unlocked this achievement. But I'm afraid to collect it as I fear it might dissapear, and not count in the actual ship building materials once I unlock them. Same goes for the fleet arena tokens. What should I do? Should I just let them hang there for now until I unlock ships?



    Claim it.

    Also check out the swgoh wiki site. Lots of info for new players

    If you're going for Phoenix, Captain Rex is an insane character to get, but he is only a 1 shard farm right now so if you are going that route, use at least 1 refresh a day but be careful as you don't want to waste all your gems. I have a Phoenix team with Hera, Ezra, Zeb, Chopper, and Kanan. They are all alright, but I'm not going to have them long-term and am just using them for Admiral Thrawn.

    As for your ships, PLEASE work on them. All ships are only 1 shard farms and take months to complete so start as soon as you can. If you need help, check out Ahnaldt101 on YT for his farming guide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlUgfFiU_Nc

    Something that will help you and the people in the forums is for you to make an account on swgoh.gg
    This site allows everyone to see what you have unlocked, their power, stars, and overall any stat they need to aid you on your journey.

    I started about 5 months ago and it's been a blast. I know it may not seem worth it right now, but work on your Bounty Hunter teams as soon as you can. I'm currently at a spot where I can't progress that much because of them.

    I hope you enjoy your stay and don't give up too quickly, as everything can be extremely overwhelming. But lucky for you and I, this is a great time to be playing swgoh for beginners.

    If you need any help, I'll gladly help you with anything. From beginner to beginner, I can give you some tips I have received from when I was brand new to this game and from what others have told me.

  • A node is just generally a larger spot along a line, like a bulge in a branch where a flower bud grows from. Sometimes a hinge point too.

    Thanks so much for this very detailed explanation! This was amazing!

    Yeah I already begun working on Bounty Hunters, just got Boba to 5 stars today! Focusing on him and Cad Bane until I max them out, then I'll probably go on IG-88 and Greedo!

    I saw Anhald's guide! It was very helpful! Also Star Wars Dad's guide on the Galactic store abd what to spend my tokens on! Both have been very careful!

    only farm cad from galactic war- not sure if there is a node, but if there is, don’t use it


    What is a node?
  • A node is what we call a battle point along a line.

    For example Light side normal battle 1F is a node where you fight general veers for some mk1 gear. There are 12 nodes on the gal war track.

    Ooooh so a node is one of those circles then where you fight enemies! Like how there's a "node" for dark side hard mode 2B where you farm Boba Fett! Right?

    Also, what is a node in general context? I've never came across this word in English before.

    Or actually I have, in Musical class!

    ...No wait, that's a note... But there should be nodes too???
