Worth abandoning farming plan for GMY?

Hi,
I’ve currently got
1) Strong 7* Phoenix Team (lvl 82) - they unlocked 7* Thrawn
2) Reasonable Wiggs /STH/Lando/Ackbar Team @ 7*
3) Reasonable Empire Team - Vader nearly at 7*
4) Scoundrel Team

My current priorities were
Cantina —> Old Ben then Farmboy Luke
Cantina Store —> Leia (after 5 more Tarkin shards for 7*)
GW —> Phasma then Magmatrooper
Fleet —> Rebel ships & Vader/Rex

***Is it worth abandoning this and farming Mace to 7* in Cantina/Fleet and JC with normal Energy to have 5 jedis for the upcoming Yoda event? ***

My Jedi team would be a well geared Ezra,Kanan.....and QGJ,Mace,JC —> I hadn’t really planned for GMY to be honest....should I divert?

Thanks
  • Grandmaster Yoda is generally a character you get incidentally to other characters.

    He's generally regarded as the worst legendary, and isn't really viable for any major teams right now unless you go all in on a zeta Qui Gon Jin team. Even that is dubious.

    There are some Jedi worth getting to seven stars eventually for their ships, but I wouldn't suggest abandoning your farm plan for it.
  • I did it with Ezra Kanan Mace QGJ and Luminara. Timed it so nicely accidentally, but unlocked Yoda when they were all at G7 and under. Event was a joke.

    No, Jedi all suck.

    Patently untrue. There are a lot of solid and viable Jedi units. The issue is that it's much more difficult and less effective to make a coherent Jedi team, especially without heavily gated units like General Kenobi and Hermit Yoda.
  • Why do you need Stormtrooper? IMO Tarkin, Palp, TFP, Vader, Thrawn is the best option for the start.
  • Stormtrooper is a solid and flexible unit who slots cleanly into a lot of Empire teams. The team you list works, but running it without a tank is still quite the risk.
  • My current priorities were
    Cantina —> Old Ben -> Farmboy Luke
    Arena —> Leia
    GW —> Phasma

    I would stick with this part of your plan, but then add

    Cantina
    Masked Kylo Ren (when done with the other 2)
    MKR can is an amazing character that can go in pretty much any squad.

    Cantina Store
    Poe
    If you don't have a Resistance Squad yet, you're hurting yourself pretty badly. Especially if you ever hope to get JTR.

    Boba (depending update)
    This guys leadership skill is the cat's meow! 50% critical damage with a 10% Critical Chance. This works amazing with Asajj in the AAT.

    Arena
    Stormtrooper Han
    You need him for CLS

    GW
    Resistance Pilot
    Need this little fella for a Resistance Team.

    Tusken Raider (For Rancor)
    This guy is probably one of the most underrated characters in the game. His basic has a 55% chance to remove 50% of enemy turn meter. His Tusken Ambush ability calls in a random Ally and has a cool down of 2. And none of his abilities require Zetas.

    Magmatrooper's second ability has a cool down of 4 with a 70% chance to remove 30% more TM on top of the 30% that will get removed. So you can remove turn meter every 4 turns with Magmatrooper, or have a 55% chance to remove 50% every turn.

    But I've had GMY for a long time now, and he never gets used. Keep in mind, I focus a TON of my time on Darkside Characters. They're supposed to rework some of the Jedi, so hopefully he becomes better. But as of right now, he's a weak link any arena squad.
