Very Basic Questions From A Very New Player

8. Just a title

Thank you MrSender! :)

Don't underestimate the power of a good guild. Being in a good guild will get you crazy good rewards from raids, territory wars, and territory battles.

Get ONE seven-star character, and as soon as you have that first 7* character, or even a few days early, go find a good guild. Getting a good guild early is one of the 3 or 4 most important things you can do in the game.

If you would like to be allies with me, I do have some characters that will almost certainly be more powerful than anything you have access to, if I can judge by the questions you're asking.

Just click on my name, choose to send me a private message, and give me your Ally Code. I will then send you an ally request and at that point so long as you accept, you can start using one of my characters in each of the following modes:

Light side battles
Dark side battles
Cantina Battles
Mod Battles

The character you can use is always the last person I've used as a leader in that game mode. So which one of my characters might change between modes, but it won't change from Monday to Tuesday in the same game mode unless I've actually gone in to play a battle by on that game mode and I chose a different leader. That rarely happens for experienced players since they have all the battles completed at 3* so they can just sim battles instead of fighting them by hand.

Hope that helps!

Some more specifics:
As said directly above, the character available to be used as an ally is the last character that player used in the leader (first) slot for that type of battle (e.g., light side, daily challenges). Once you use a particular ally in a battle, they go away as an option until their availability refreshes. If you have your own version of a character in your team, an ally with that character won't show up. You can usually fix this by picking someone and going into the character screen, taking that character of yours out and replacing them, then backing out and try going into the battle again. Borrowed ally characters will contribute their leader ability in addition to your chosen leader's.

Guilds are the best way to progress, but not the robot starter guilds they put you in. Try going into the guild recruitment section to get in a good guild run by real people.

A "patron" in this context just means a user. The conceit of the game is that you are playing holotable games in a cantina somewhere. So you are a patron of that cantina.

Pretty much never use auto unless the timer is running out and you are so close to winning even auto can't fail as long as you beat the clock.
