Thoughts on my Alt Account
So, i started the Account a bit after characters became double drops, to see where i could get by being very focused, compared to my main. Now i have been 85 for like a Month and a week, and i feel comfortable talking about how it has been doing so far.

The cornerstone of planning for this account was the premise, that i did want to do as good in both arenas, as i possibly could, at the earliest moment, and that i wanted to contribute Wat Shards, so i could get/stay in a guild doing Geo TB as early as i could. So lets take a look at both areas, and how i got there, and what the future plans are:
Squad Arena Development:
My Plan was getting JKR as early as possible, and then riding JKR, till i could get DR + Malak going, for that i started farming the Hard Nodes for both Bastilas, Zaalbar, Jolee and Carth as soon as i could. It turned out, that i barely managed to get the last shards for the JKR unlock by the day i hit 85. To carry me through early GW i got phoenix, but phased them out at lvl 70, when i got my Bastila Jedis good enough so they could do the job.
A early relic and good modding on JKR does secure me top 50 Squad Arena Payout pretty reliable, and i expect to get into the top 10, once i get my DR + Malak team rolling, which is probably another month out. So far, i can say, the plan is working very well, and i feel like i am on track.
Fleet Arena Development:
After using the Geonosian Ships on my main, i realised how insanely powerfull they are, before people can get GET 2 Capital ships. So my plan for this area allways revolved around them. I saved quite a bit of GW currency for them before lvl 60, and got them going instantly after. I also started farming the vulture droid as soon as i could, as i knew i would need a tool to deal with HT. I managed to sneak into the top 20 by lvl 70, and into the top 10 since like lvl 75. And i think i got top 1 payouts for over a month now. As i managed to secure myself a spot in a guild doing both geo TBs pretty early, i do have the malevolence allready, and i think i am at least 2-3 months ahead of everyone else in my shard with that, so this area is pretty secure. I started farming the Hyena Bomber a bit too late i think, and its only now getting close to 5*.
Future plans for this Account:
I do think, the most reasonable route for this Account after unlocking Malak is pushing for SEE. With that in mind, my next Teams i would get to relic levels are gonna be Imperial Troopers, and then the EP-Vader Empire team. That would leave me with 5 very strong GAC Teams: JKR, Geos, DR, Troopers and EP-Vader. As a 6th team, i plan on using the OR toons from the malak unlock, and might replace them later with Padme, when i find the ressources for that team.
For the Fleet side of things, i think the best idea is farming the Tie Bomber, and building a Empire fleet under tarkin as my secondary fleet for GAC. But here i am honnestly still open for a few suggestions, and not fully sold on a path.
Conclusion:
So far this path has worked out extremely well, partly becouse i had the advantage of being in a great guild from a very early stage on, but also due to the priorization of what teams to build etc.
And i do think it is a path i feel confident now in recommending to basically every new player.
Also i didnt build this account specifically with GAC in mind, but so far i have only lost one round due to banners, so i am happy with that as well.
Also feel free to leave your own comments about the account. I will keep updating this thread probably like every 2 weeks or so, and talk about the progress, how different areas are going etc.
