Where to place gear (a few scenarios, optimal G12 piece placement for now)?

https://swgoh.gg/p/413765196/characters/ - not updated today yet - notable change is G13 CLS (though mostly irrelevant to this post)

I can nearly G12 Asajj, or use some of the same stuff to move 3P0 to G11. 3P0 is 6* right now, not sure when that will change.... is it important to gear up 3P0 at this point (I do use him, still seeing how long it will last, but he holds up okay, it seems), or do I just keep gearing Ewoks and ignore everything else (though notice the missing Logray and Wicket.... not sure how far I push the current team and hope for RNG, versus turning it into a much longer farm after all that just to get the extra star with other toons on the team) until 3P0 is 7*?

I read about focusing and not deterring in many threads.... what is "finishing the job" when basically no toon is ever finished? I mean, it would be madness to ignore everything else until someone is R8, I have other farms to attend to.

I can also take either Palp or Thrawn to G13 soon, and not sure which to do first. I feel like Palp is the more obvious choice, I don't use Chimera except TW defense, and only plug Thrawn in to a CLS squad for Arena, or in certain events But, that said, I use him more than Palp, maybe, as Palp I only use in the leader slot for a full Empire/Sith squad, but that squad is used often enough (Palp, Vader, Thrawn, plus two).

Just looking for some insight from those who are there... It's just a matter of order, I guess, but as it can take a little time to get this kind of gear, and I'm just now (after a long break from the game) starting to focus more on G13, I want to start making the right investments. I've been Ring LS toons, so another option is a push on Chewbacca to G13 next, but I do have some DS G12 components beginning to add up to pieces, so will have some choices to make on that soon (hence the Palp/Thrawn question).

Thank you!

  • My thing is I always get every character and ship to 7*. I would get 3P0 to 7* and then move on to another project. You have CLS and Han at relic levels so I would get Chewie, C3P0 to relic levels and then go after Chewpio. Those 5 make for a nice team. After that you can focus on your Empire team. Then JKR and/or DR teams or Padme team.

    3PO gear after a certain point isn't really important at all except as a requirement for Journey characters. I would say the biggest advantage to having him at g12+ is to be able to put faster mods on him (I tend to slice my fastest ones to 6*, meaning my 5* mods aren't as fast). Threepio often gains stealth and protection up which keeps him alive, and obviously he doesn't need damage. I think you can wait until he's 7* to put more gear on him.

    As for "finishing" a character, I never thought it was irrefutable advice even when the cap was g11. Obviously, you don't want to spread yourself thin, but in a game with limited resources, at some point you want to work on multiple teams. Like you say, now characters never really get finished since they keep adding relic levels. I'm a big proponent of a "good enough" mentality--if a team (especially on offense) is behaving just as well as you need it to in the situations where you use it, then no sense in wasting more time and gear on them. Even many the characters you take to g13 can often rest between r0-r3 because taking them to relic 7-9 won't be worth the time and resources you put into that.
