To Farm or Not to Farm...

Rolled a new account after having quit for a few months. I need some help catching up with the current meta. Some characters who used to be top tier now seem to get little to no play, so Im not exactly sure of who to farm, and in what order. My plan right now for my arena team is Lando (L), STHan, Boba, then either Wiggs or Leia+RG/Pathfinder. Obviously I'm also interested in other heroes for Raids and pushing the light/dark campaigns, Mod teams, and Ship stuff. Keep in mind I have a huge surplus of light side because of lucky draw on cromiums, what the game gives away, and my initial farming choices. Therefore Im hurting for dark side to a degree.

GW:
1. Lumi - got her to 4 star already. Currently holding progress to focus on Phasma, however Phas seems to have fallen out of the meta?
2. Phasma
3. Biggs - only #3 cause I don't need him till I have Wedge
4. RP or Teebo - RP for easy ship access, Teebo for raid

Arena:
STHan - 4* today. Want to take all the way to 7 before starting anyone else.
2.-5. - Huge toss up between Leia, IG-88, Akbar, or Tarkin. Leia for arena/rebel, IG for scoundrel, Akbar for rebel/ship, Tarkin for dark side/ship.

Cantina Energy:
1. Lando - 4*, will be 5* in a few days. Plan to take directly to 7*
2. Unsure - either Pathfinder, Luke, or a new yet undiscovered node.

Cantina Store:
1. Boba - made big mistake farming QGJ up to 3* before finalizing my arena team plans. Boba at 23/80
2/3. Unsure - between Daka (for Dark side heals), Ashoka (for Ship/jedi)
4. Qui - for jedi/raid
3. Poe - for resistance

HM: putting very low emphasis on HM shard farming, mostly just supplementing other sources. with a few exceptions...
-- RG, Rey (still meta?), EElder, JC

Anyway, I would greatly appreciate feedback on my selections and prioritizations. GW is currently my biggest issue, as I'm so unsure between Phas and Lumi that I'm currently just banking my tokens. Thanks for any feedback!

Here's what I think.

GW: Lumi is always safe to go, Phasma, Biggs, and ships. Ships are essential in GW. Most ships, besides the Slave1, rex's, and the m falcon are found in there. Save the ship shards for the rare ships and the Zeta material.

Arena: ST han first for sure. Then IG88 or ackbar, I would go ackbar if you wanna do a rebel team.

Cantina: Lando for sure, good move. Word of advice though, don't do luke or pathfinder first. There are many better characters to use than Luke, he's not even worth getting. Pathfinder is good, but not worth getting at first. Depending what level you're on, after lando, I would try to go for Tie Pilot (Tier 4 of Cantina), Aayla (Tier 5 of Cantina), or Jawa (level him up for critical damage mods and tank raid)

Cantina Store: really just depends what you want. I would do Boba, QGJ and Daka, then Ahsoka, fives and poe for ships, in that order, but it's really up to you. All are safe choices.

HM: ROYAL GUARD!!! Couldn't emphasize that more. And when you can, Anakin. Other good ones are FOTP, Ahsoka, Barriss and Rey.

Guild store: Sun Fac (!!!), Rex, Jawa Engineer before anything else. Sun Fac is an absolute monster and works well with any team you put him on. You also have the choice to get Cody and Echo, but don't start on them till you get the others. Cody isn't great right now, so I'd get Echo first.

Fleet Shipments: Sun Fac, Rex, Wedge, VADER (!!!), rare ship blueprints (Rex's, Slave1, etc.) and ZETA. The Zeta is literally a game changer. A character with a good Zeta can take you from a 300 spot to a top 50 in at worst. Best two in my opinion are QGJ and Barriss by far.

Hope this helped!
