What characters should you go for?

STEP 1

• I’d still say Phoenix first to unlock EP, Thrawn, Help get Chimaera and 2 Jedi.
  
• Don’t gear them more than is needed to get 7* Thrawn.
  
• Darkside I would want an Empire Team to unlock R2D2
  

STEP 2

• From here you want to farm CLS requirements. He’s still a very good character!
  
• You also NEED to be in a guild that’s doing HAAT, and ideally Sith raid tier 5+ regularly (max tickets)
  
• This let’s you get Han, and GK.
  

STEP 3

• BHs have to be in here —> Chewie, Events, Ships and MFalc
  
• Jedi to unlock GMY makes a lot of sense too —> Kanan, Ezra, Old Ben + 2 more.
  
• Bastila should also be on farm to be your initial Jedi lead and also because she’s needed for Revan.
  

That’s enough to get started with.

The above unlocks: EP, Thrawn, R2D2, CLS, Chewie, GMY and also helps with Chimaera and MFalc.

Above is a post I wrote, might help out in some ways for you.

As far as a farming priority, I would focus on episode 9 content. JTR, C3P0. Bounty hunters are always a huge addition and plus for new players, as well as whatever we can guess will be required for Old man Luke or any related episode 9 legendaries (palpatine, for instance).

If I were starting out right now I would be farming GG squad, 501st, First Order, C3P0, BH (with Bossk/Jango), R2D2, Chewbacca, Han Solo, JTR, BB8, Emperor Palpatine, Bastila (Fallen). That isn't in any specific order.

If you are literally day 1, Start with EP, R2D2, BB8, go from there.

I am somewhere around day 600- 700. I was just going to start sharing some of my own techniques, didn’t have the time at the moment to get started

Even with all the new shinies we have now, it's hard to argue with the Phoenix ---> Empire ---> CLS route. After that I think it's pretty much dealer's choice although it probably still makes sense to go for the older legendaries first; they may not be as godly as they once were, but the rapidly-increasing difficulty of legendary events makes it hard to just skip straight to somebody like Padme.

AGREED.

The reason for that route more than any other factor IMHO is that all those teams have entire 5 man set ups that you can get access to in the first 40 levels.

For everyone that says GG, NS, Geos, JKR, DR, they are forgetting that each of those teams has members that won't be unlock-able till L60-85 & even then might be very long farms (DR)

Stuff like Phoenix, First Order, CLS Rebels, & Scoundrels(BH) all can be formed from low zone farm nodes.
Empire meanwhile basically fills itself with 4 Free/Event characters so you only need to have farmed 1 up from low level node. (Usually TFP or one of the Tanks)

Also, the older events are doable with G7-9 v/s the newer ones where you need G10-12.

Those extra gear levels take a long time to farm & those L85 nodes are going to take a long time to get to 7* so you might as well hold off doing the rest of those teams till your L85.
