What do I go for, Droids or clones?

In your case, I would go with Rex and the Clones.

Rex, Echo and Fives trio looks promising. Throw in RG, GS, QGJ or Rey and you have a lineup of death. Heck, maybe even Clone Seargent.

That is totally dependant on your play style.

Right now, Droids require HK47, IG86, IG88, Jawa Engineer, Poe, Poggle, General Grievous.
There are several combinations of droid teams, so if you dont have one that is viable it is not worth spending cash on it.

Same thing with clones.

Since you listed your clone toon, I would say go with clones.

Unless we have more info on your roster its hard to say.

I have Poggle, 88, and 86 at 4 and 5*, Rex, Fives 7*, Clone Sergeant 4*, other notables are,
Phasma 7*, Kylo 7*, FOST 5*, Boba (only for his leader ability) 5*.

My problem is that I only have 50$ to spend, I can't 7 star echo if I pull packs, I might get unlucky and not even get him. I definitely wont 7 star rex, ill get lucky if I get him to 5 stars, The droids are the safer pick but I like clones more, I just wish they didnt require 1000 dollars to use them

Why limit yourself? The team on my server that is now unbeatable is:
Rex (L)
B2 droid
Sun Frac
RG
Leia/Rey

I wish there were skirmish options, I'd love to play against this team (not saying I'd be able to beat it, but I have a lot of ideas of how I'd attack it).

A clone team requires Rex and Echo, who are chromium exclusives.
If you don't plan on spending more than 50$, don't even think about it.
They require several hundreds, and more likely thousands $ to unlock.

Droids, on the contrary, are f2p besides B2, who is not a must-have.

Most common droid teams are:

- HK-47 (Arena shipments)
- IG 88 (Arena shipments)
- IG 86 (GW shipments and Cantina battles)

Alongside this core, you usually see 2 of the following characters:

- Poggle (GW shipments)
- Royal Guard (Hard nodes and Cantina battles)
- Jawa Engineer (Guild shipments)
- Poe (Cantina shipments)
- ST Han (Arena shipments)

I currently run HK, 88, 86, Jawa Engineer and RG, and it works really well.

Purchasing the pack is a great idea: It has amazing value, and will boost you really nicely.
I did it myself, never looked back.

Bought the droid pack too. Definedly whould spend 50€ on droid pack an rest for crystals again. Now im lvl 74 with 73lvl 7* ig86, 88, hk47, poggle and gs. Im loving it definedly go for it! Im rank 6-40 in arena every day since the begining. Ongly negative thing is that you need to farm couple toons for GW. Pure droid team cant do it reliably and poggle, ig 86 and lumi shards comes from same shard shop, so its bit loong grind. I use Lumi7* (L), ben5*, baris5*, ig 867* and gs7* for GW 100% succes rate so far with some decoys and resets.

Personaly i have spend 35€ during my five months of playing. I do not find that much becouse the game it self cost nothing and i have been playing mmos last 12 yers wich cost intial 50€ plus 13€ a month, not to mention xpacks. But to spend hundres or thousands? Definedly no for me, but if someone can realy afford it... Why not? I keep piling my random 5€ for EA every now and then and hope they will cut the prizes 75% some day :)

Droids man. $50 won't get you anywhere near what you need to run clones.

To lend a little perspective to this, I run a beefed up all-droid team led by HK with the three IGs and Grievous. I do pretty well and usually sit comfortably in the top 50. With a refresh I can break top 20 but the gear bottleneck means I can't push further as all except IG100 are stuck on gear VIII.

About 10 minutes ago I faced off against the 4 clones and Lumi, run by a player called ErikTheRed (if you're here, stand up and be recognised!). Dude smashed the life out of me. I have never been so decisively beaten in the 7 months I've played this game. He had a 1000pt Power advantage and a level on me with every toon but it felt like he had a 10,000 Power advantage. If you've got the cash and/or the patience then Clones appear to be a real contender... He's also probably making an absolute killing in the Battle Event right now, too. Scary.

Thank you for all the advice everyone, I kept my money and am going to wait for a better deal to come around, in the meantime, I am going to focus on Clone Sergeant since he is farmable and I already have fives 7*ed, I am also going to work on my project Boba Fett, because I think scoundrels will get buffed, him in particular. Cantina battles is going toward IG 86, arena is 88, gw is poggle, and i have enough currency to get JE but he never seems to pop up but eventually i will get him.
