When to promote?

Hi, I have searched but not found an answer... When is the best time to promote and level up? let me give an exampel to clarify my thoughts:

I have a character at star level 4 and training droid level 1. And I use training droids to get it to level 30. OR:

I have the same character at star level 4 and training droids level 1. Befor using training droids to level it to level 30, I promote it to star level 5, then training droids level 30. Do you follow?

My question is then if it is best to promote star levels first, then training droids? or does the increased mulitplier from star promotion added retroactively?

If not, if feels like I will be wasting a lot of characters before promoting them to 7 stars, as they will not get as powerful as they could be...

    In other words: The character will always end up with the same power rating, independent of which improvement comes first

    Depend on ur resources.. there will be a time u can't promote bcause u don't have enough credit.

    As others said, any method used for promote, they will end in same stat.

    it does not matter for their end stats if you level them up first 1->85 or increase their stars first 1*->7*

    Does it make a difference in training droid cost ie a 7* is more credits to level up to say 50 for example than a 6*? I think this is part of what the OP was asking about rather than power level

    Still doesn't matter. Same price for either.

    The key question you should be asking is, "Do I need this toon upgraded right now?" Just because you have enough gear to lvl up, or enough shards to promote, doesn't mean you have to. Only gear/promote characters that you need. Save your resources so you don't waste them on useless characters.

    This. So much this. Don't get ahead of yourself, especially if you can't participate in TBs yet. After that it is a bit different as you want to boost your GP.

    DING! The way the game is structured right now, you should not upgrade a character until you are ready to go all in.

    If you really need them and L30 is your max level, then do that. If it can wait until you have more resources hoarded for additional upgrades, then do that.

    A few days ago I promoted my Teebo from 6* to 7* just for the 50-odd shards so I could buy 6 stun gun salvage.
