Hi all, looking for some help- again!Picking up some nice new characters over the last couple of weeks. Problem is knowing who to farm when you're f2p is so hard. So I'd really appreciate some wise advice from you kind people. Now obviously I understand the concept of synergies...and also that who to farm depends very much on your goals and plans in the game, so - some reference to these would be super-useful. Thanks so much, list is as follows - should I bother or not? Either way, what did you base your decision on? If you don't have the time to go through the whole list then whould be your priorities on the list to farm and who would you not bother with?Veteran ChewieVeteran HanGrand Master YodaThe whole of Phoenix SquadKylo RenChirrutReyMaulOppressPrincess Leiahttps://swgoh.gg/u/coastaljames/Thanks so much one and all!

Phoenix squad is very good when you're f2p because you can do territory battles get thrawn and with kanan Ezra you can get both palpatine and yoda(kanan Ezra both Jedi and rebel) so win-win You can farm kylo for arena gw dark Side battles and kinda end game heroic aat Rey is pretty good if you are planning on using resistance but as by herself not so goodChirrut without baze is kinda pointless so if you are planning to get baze go for him if not leave itMaul and oppress was very good once now not so good but you can farm maul for his ship and for zeta challengesLeia is very good at haat with clones you can use her at TB too Hope this helps good luck :smile:

Thanks so much for your effort, wisdom and kindness!Yeah- had Phoenix for a while and never done anything with them but reading more and more how useful they are...particualrly in regards getting some big names...and fun as well.Kylo sounds worth a farm...plus he's cool ;)Rey seems a like a fun attacker...but I don't have any other Resistance and not planning to really so...might not bother.Yep- no Baze so will ignore Chirrut I think.Might farm Maul for his ship then.Leia sounds like she's worth farming then.Thanks a lot :)

Vet han and vet chewie look awesome. Imagining them under boba lead with offense up and crit damage mode could mean a lot of damage. I think in one of the developer videos, they were each hitting for over 40k and that's probably without decent mods and no boba lead.Too bad they aren't farmable yet and probably won't be until November.With your mainly rebel team though I would probably still go chirrut. You can switch him out for boba and you'd be surprised at how well he manages even without baze. He's constantly healing rebels, he has an amazing cleanse, and he can hit for 20-30k crits at G11. Plus he's not that bad of a farm from fleet store.

Obivously I was tempted to work with him as he looks awesome...but was put off by so many saying not to bother without Chaze. But your post had inspired me - cheers.

IMO your absolute first priority should be getting max payouts for Credit Heist. Looking at your roster, you've got the core 3 (especially Lando), so I'm guessing you can carry 2 more dead weight and succeed. But if not, that should be top of the list.After that, agree with Phoenix as a worthwhile farm for a number of reasons, and very approachable for f2p. Skip Sabine, and work on the others. Ezra and Kanan can also cross over to be used for your Jedi squad for Yoda.Equally with Phoenix, I would work on your ships. Whatever you need to focus on to unlock the max tier challenges (especially the ship ability materials) should be VERY high on your priority list, because that will bring you extra Omega mats, and most importantly, zeta mats.If you've still got farming capacity left over after that, I'd pick a couple from: Leia, Empire needed to get R2, Old Ben, & Farm Boy Luke. Then start working on them. Therein lies the path to CLS, and greatness. Even if the meta changes before you get there, they are all still great characters (well, Farm Boy not so much) that you can use elsewhere or in your arena team.

To Farm or Not to Farm...that is the question...

Yeah- had Phoenix for a while and never done anything with them but reading more and more how useful they are...particualrly in regards getting some big names...and fun as well.

Kylo sounds worth a farm...plus he's cool ;)

Rey seems a like a fun attacker...but I don't have any other Resistance and not planning to really so...might not bother.

Yep- no Baze so will ignore Chirrut I think.

Might farm Maul for his ship then.

Leia sounds like she's worth farming then.

Thanks a lot :)

Equally with Phoenix, I would work on your ships. Whatever you need to focus on to unlock the max tier challenges (especially the ship ability materials) should be VERY high on your priority list, because that will bring you extra Omega mats, and most importantly, zeta mats.

This is very sound advice. As others said also get your scoundrel team up for heists.

Just had to reply on the Rey comment. Once upon a time when she was first released, she was the Queen of Damage. How times have changed.

I'm a long time F2P.
Follow these suggestions and you will benefit I promise.

Get a Max Phoenix squad. (Sabine is good but not a must) get them all to at least g8.

Perks of Phoenix squad:
*TB missions
*Thrawn
*Emperor palps

Get the Rogue one squad, get these guys g10-11. I'm talking about Jyn, Cassian, K2, chirrut, and Baze.

Perks of Rogue one squad:
*Decent in Arena
*TB missions
*Emperor palps

Then personally I would work on Resistance, mainly finn, Poe and RT.

Perks of Resistance:
*Can beat any squad on offence
*Gw is easy to complete
*TB missions
*Separatists events
*Raids
*Probably best first zeta investment

After that you will want R2 so build up empire, you will probably want to use
Emperor palps, vader, thrawn,moff tarkin, magma trooper.

And... If you have no idea what to do after all this. Farm requirements for CLS.

Thanks for all you help and advice.

In the last week I have beefed up my Phoenix squad. I now have them all and am gearing them up nicely. Hopefully I will be able to get Thrawn in the upcoming event.

Then I will focus on getting R2.

In between those things I will beef up my Scoundrel squad for the heists.

I think I've had to learn to slow down and develop a wider perspective. There is so much to do in this game it can seem overwhelming. But I think, for a f2p newbie like me, realising what you can and can't do is vital. In a nutshell- you can't do everything so focus is important, and not stress that everything is not being done!

Thanks again people.

^ That's a great post thanks, clarifies the course of action I'd pretty much decided upon.

Two questions...

1. I'm in a guild. I never really know it it's a "good" guild or not. It sounds a stupid question but how would I know? I must say I engage daily doing everything required and never seem to get an awful lot out of it.

2. Ships. Am I right in understanding that if you have a ship for a weak toon you must farm that toon to make the ship better? For example - I have FOTP but have never really done anything with him...but I guess I must to make his ship good?

Thanks.
