I started in February 2016, I rank top 3 at my payout and I pay the 21 days subscription as a support for the Devs. Here is my advice for beginner.
First of all, this game is a marathon. You will have to be patient.
Then set your expectation: you will be able to maximize 1 toon per months more or less, so plan well.
If you want to know who to farm, let's describe your main source of bottleneck to your progress and your main sources of income.
Credit and gear will be your limiting factor at low level. You have two ways to overcome this: GW and arena (with crystals).
GW and arena live in a difficult balance: if you focus only on your arena team, your GW will become impossible, whereas if you only focus on GW, you might lose on crystal rewards.
I personally think GW brings you more income for you energy and hence should be prioritized first.
At low level and at the time of writing, I would recommend to farm the following:
- Guild: Rey
- Cantina: Lando
- Cantina shipment: Boba
- Arena: 88 (unlock), STH (unlock), HK (unlock)
- GW: Teebo (unlock), Luminara (unlock), 86 (3*), Cad Bane (5*).
You absolutely are not allowed to use these in arena: if you improve them and use in arena, they will increase the difficulty of your GW.
This will set you right to get credit income and crystal from GW at a good pace.
Once you have reached these results, you can slowly work on a rebel team to complete the Empire desmise challenge.
Moreover focus on your gear: you won't be able to gear everyone unless you pay a lot of crystal.
