Start *ing up your Jedis
"First Event – Featuring a New Character!
One of the most-frequently requested characters is now available! In this inaugural Event, players can Battle to win Shards for this character in their customized training Battles.
This Event features seven stages which must be unlocked progressively. Only Jedi units are allowed. The requirements for each Stage are also based on the star rarity of the Jedi units.
The first Battle in this Event requires five Jedi which are 1 Star or above. Completing that Battle will award Shards of the new character, and unlock Stage 2.
Stage 2 requires five Jedi which are 2 Star or above, and so on up to Stage 7 which requires five Jedi at 7 Stars to get the final Shards needed to Promote the new character to 7 Stars! Once players have completed Stage 4, they will have enough Shards to Activate the new character at 4 Stars."
So, it appears that the only way you can unlock the new character, is by having five Jedis at level four or higher, about two weeks from now. So work on getting that Jedi youve been putting off, up to 4*

I love my Jedi!
Tibi Jedi! Huehuehue /Jabba
What do you have now, and how many *s are they? There are a few options to grind out that I listed, and both Luminara and JC are extremely easy to farm.
Edit: nvm, thought you said "up to 4*" not past 4*
Who should fill up that fifth spot dont have any other jedi
Would finish QGJ to 4* and then use all arena tokens on Eeth Koth. Which is exactly what I'm doing.
I think with the way it is setup, I may actually be able to progress my QGJ, Lumi, JC, and Anakin along with Yoda (Jedi Luke, Jedi Rey, or whoever else they give us) and get them all to 7* together.
Can just farm Cantina 3-A for JC, meanwhile getting the currency to level up QGJ, Lumi I'll pump my Arena tokens into, LS/DS missions for Anakin. Completely takes away from progressing my arena team so we will have to see how good the new Jedi is to see if it is worth it.
Hopefully you can 'enter' the challenge with as many 4* jedi as you can. I presume it'll be some battle or something. Similar to other challenges, it's ok to enter with less than 5.
I got four 4*+ jedi...
Although I'll have to run through this event with Plo Koon :-/ I'd even prefer Jedi guardian to Koon.
Do you not like the character (in like the universe) or the hero's IG abilities? Or both of course.
Yeah it was very deflating for me to find out they freaking changed it from 4* to 5*. Having the five at 4* was very easy fr me, but the five at 5* simply is not going to happen
Hopefully I'll have anough time to get it up to 6 before it's up and going!
Getting Eeth from Arena. Undecided between Mace and Ima to grind away at.
It's the best place to farm. But Dooku is a must have. The Mace CAntina is quite generous. It drops more Mace shards than many cantina maps. Try it. One refill. It'll get u 5 to 7 shards.
QGJ and Eeth are also good. And Ashoka. Plenty of good jedi for the free player.
I think my goal for the first attempt for the Jedi Challenge will be to have the full 5* team to unlock the characters.
I have around 4k of each resource stocked up for Arena/GW/Cantina.
I have a ton of gear stock piled so it shouldn't be hard to gear them to at least VI maybe a few to VII
Right now I'm looking at defaulting to use Lumi / QGJ /Ahsoka / Barriss / Mace
Would it be worth switching to Eeth Koth? Does He unlock at the 4* level?
It would be roughly 105 shards total if he starts at 4* to get to 5*
7* - Lumi
5* - QGJ (10/85)
5* - Ahsoka (19/85)
4* - Barriss (43/65)
4* - Mace (46/65)
4* - JC (25/65)
4* - Obi-Wan
4* - Kit Fisto
4* - Aayla
2* - Jedi Knight Guardian (16/25)
I know I can't farm Obi/Kit/Aayla but they might be useful for 4* or under
Missing
Jedi Knight Anakin - 28/80
Plo Koon - 17/50
Eeth Koth - 10/50
Ima-Gun Di - 3/80
Even if you *could* successfully farm a new jedi or two from 0 to the 145 shards you need for 5*, you will still need to spend most of your energy and refreshes on grinding the gear, you will still need to have the droids and credits needed to train them up, and unless you want all of your abilities at 1, you'll need a massive pile of mats to make them strong.
And even though you can farm different jedi in parallel from different sources, then you're just doubling your requirements for gear, mats, etc. Unless you've been stockpiling your resources for a while, that's just not going to happen.
This *might* be possible for a few players, but if you're an average player excited about Yoda, and you're just starting to try an farm an Eeth or a Mace or a QGJ in the hopes of getting them to 5* in time for the challenge, fair warning: you may be disappointed.
Lumi 7 Star
JC 5 Star 35/85
QGJ 4 Star 30/65
Mace 4 Star 8/65 I figure he is ok to level, it's not that many resources. Redesign maybe good.
Options for 5th
Ahsoko 2 Star 13/25
Bariss 5/80
Eath Koth 1/50
I have Fisto at 3 stars, 41/50 on ayala and other pay to play options but, I am not too interested in that.
I've borrowed Bariss and she is ok. Not sure on the viability of the others. Thanks.
A lot of people have been stockpiling for a month or two at this point. If you invested early into a solid team you ran out of things to farm. I know personally I could raise an entire new team from scratch and fully gear/lvl their abilities to VII/5th rank. Just considering resources however time would limit me more than anything for getting the shards.
Lumi 7*
JC 6*
Bariss 4*
QGJ 4*
And that's it! Apart from having Ashoka at 2* I'm gonna really struggle getting my 5th Jedi in there. I've been saving arena tokens for the past few weeks now and currently have 4.5K. Maybe it's time to go Eath Koth?
I think this is a fun kind of challenge, although having 5 7* of a certain faction is quite the prerequisite. But, giving players incentive to work on characters for different reasons is something I really like.
Luckily I was working on some Jedi already. I finished QGJ and I have a high level Kit and Aayla. JC is ready to be promoted to 7*. I'm working on Luminara and Mace right now.
I wouldnt be suprised if this is the case. Only 2 levels unlock at one event or something.
That's my situation exactly. 4k arena tokens saved. Seems like the best/only option for my 5th jedi as well
6* Luminara 9/100
5* JC 32/85
3* Ashoka Tano 26/30
4* Barris 27/65
Also have 36/80 Anakin and 10/25 Qi Gon Jin and 11/80 Mace Windu.
fastest way for me would be to farm Ashoka in Cantina, but QGJ is obviously superior. And there's a little problem with Barris and Mace sharing Cantina. I suppose I'd hit Barris hard nodes while farming Windu, and see if I'm lucky enough to get both in time.
