Tips for a new player?

Hello and welcome,

The biggest tip I can give you is to be concentrated on what you farm and level up. Just levelling up characters because you have them is not the way to go.

You could have a perfect team and a terrible team at the same GP and the perfect team would beat a million of the terrible team.

So find out which characters and teams are good and which aren't. There's no point working on those that aren't.

Lastly look at the journey characters. Legends and then galatic legends make teams great. So see what you want and are viable and work towards them.

So in short, do your homework and prioritise.

Night Sisters is an ok team. You'll get use out of them for your whole SWGOH journey for sure. They don't lead you anywhere though.

Daka is essential to Night Sisters. Acolyte.......well she's lost favour in the last few years. Her strength is her stealth (being invisible). If you use that with the zombie that doesn't die if another NS is alive..........it's a not bad cheese defence, but a bit old fashioned now.

How big is your bank account? In all seriousness, you need to determine if you want to be competitive or just to enjoy the game for the Star Wars sake/ collection sake.

It is impossible for any of us to say where to start as the game has changed and evolved (some might say devolved) a lot recently. My advice is pick a faction (both dark and light) and go from there. Look into the Galactic legends and their requirements if you have an end game goal in mind.

Get yourself into a decent guild, away from the imposed starter guilds. This may take a while as a majority of guilds have a minimum requirement, and don’t aim too high or you’ll find yourself out before you even say hello.

The ingame chat is garbage, so get on discord and look up the plethora of swgoh servers and start there. A ton of resources and help.

If you’re discouraged easily, swgoh may not be the right game as the power dynamic heavily caters to those who have deep pockets, sure you can get by as free to play, but you will have those days/weeks where you feel like you’re not making any progress.

A good rule of thumb, HOARD EVERYTHING. Unless you’re actively working on a faction for a legendary/galactic legends etc, hoard hoard hoard. The gear crunch is a massive turn off for this game, even with the promised changes (get used to CGs lip service and then not doing anything)

Lastly, don’t over extend yourself trying to grind/gear too many characters at once, this goes back to hoarding. You will find you will hit a wall constantly as a vast majority of characters require a lot of the same gear and large amounts of it, and it only gets worse the higher you go into relics and newer releases.

I started playing this game yesterday and it is really fun, but I can’t find tips anywhere on this sub. Every thread says to stop playing this game, which isn’t very helpful to a new player who actually wants to play the game. I’m currently level 27 and have most of the characters you get f https://omegle.onl/or free at the beginning of the game. I also have Old Daka, who I got out of a pack that I had to open to finish a daily challenge and I’m trying to farm Nightsister Acolyte from the Cantina Battles (I’m currently at 19/25).

issue got solved!

@endros77 This forum is extremely negative and toxic at times, I'd say ridiculously so. I think you need to be selective about what you read here, anything with a negative topic header, that doesn't directly affect you........just avoid. I've been playing for over 4 and a half years now and I'm still motivated.

Team synergy will kick in more and more, the better the team gets. So don't get disheartened by early ineffectiveness. Also it's important to put together the 'correct' team, and not just choose them because they have the tag. Saying that the Night Sisters line up can be situational.

Old Daka is a dead cert, with that zombie is also. Acolyte used to be very popular but has fallen out of favour. Her big thing is being stealthed with a perma reviving zombie and therefore untargetable. The further down the road you get though, the less that becomes useful.
