Level 85
Since reaching level 85 a long time ago, it is like pulling teeth to make any progress so it do a get frustrating. I can barely win any stages in GW battles. Can't win any level 8 or level 9 battles so can't get to the good characters shards. It takes so many credits to level up anything that if it wasnt for the credit heists I would give up. You always get the low end of everything and energy is so low that you are lucky to get anything you need. 5 million credits don't last long when it takes a million to do anything. I wait for the credit heist every week just so I can level up a couple of characters. Mods are hard to get and expensive too. I am spending more than ever only to find out I am doing worse. Maybe I do not understand the game and am not playing it good enough but that is why I am frustrated. If not for my guild, I would probably give it up. Just keep plugging along at a snails pace.

On the Catina double drops, hard to get shards. I just spent 200 crystals for 120 energy and did not get one shard. Seems the more I spend, the less I get. I will try to concentrate on a few. Thanks
I don't know how to link.
Just go to your swgoh.gg profile and copy the url and then paste it in the forums, im assuming you have an account set up already.
Build a scoundrel team around your Boba Fett, with Han and Chewie. Next, work on a Rebel team with your Leia, Wedge, Biggs, etc. Build them up so that you can get 7* on that Palpatine, and use him in an Empire team with Vader, Royal Guard, and TIE Pilot.
When you have three distinct teams (Scoundrels, Rebels, Empire), you should have a better time working through GW.
Hopefully this helps:)
You need a couple of teams for GW, and the synergy is important. If you focus on gearing and staring the teams below you should be able to go a long way in GW, and the rebel team will help you unlock 7 star Palp next month.
Team One:
Wedge lead (Which will heal all rebels on crit and enemy defeat)
Biggs
Scariff Rebel Pathfinder
Lando or Leia (Lando is heaps better)
JC, Talia, Old Daka as healer (or Leia if you self heal enough)
Team 2:
Emporer Palpatine
Vader
Tie fighter pilot
Sith Trouper or royal guard
Healers as above
Use the Rebels up to about node 7-8 and just make sure they are healed up from crits.
After that EP lead is great against Jedi and Rebels, and you have your rebel team in reserve.
Use those Droids with HK47 lead or Poggle for now, to take out a hard enemy and then go in with one of the teams above to finish them off. Also use lower level characters to go in first to make the enemy use cooldowns on hard nodes.
Good luck!
The people above have given you some great advice including focusing. This is the biggest issue with new players; they don't understand to focus on only a few. TBH, characters under G10 are very useless compared to those at 10-11. This jump in usefulness is the biggest jump you will find for any specific character.
Secondly, to address your specific statement here. You need to save your crystals, and not spend them on energy. The best thing you can use them for is gear in the shop. Save them and for 1200-1400 even some 750 crystals, you can buy full pieces of what you need. Another thing is make sure you are in a guild that is completing Rancor heroic at least three times a week. You will get much needed gear from that raid as well, even if you are in last place.
I hope the best for you and I think you will crawl out of this hole, just remember, FOCUS! don't spread thin your resources. This is as much a resource management game as a strategy game.
My four year old grandson just got hold of my phone and spent half my crystals on a buy that didn't help me at all. He has the game on his tablet and loves it.
I have tri d to gear up my squads. I hardly ever win even tier one on most of thes events. Hard to concentrate on a few players when you keep needing new ones to try to win new events.
Appreciate any advice!
Try buy 20 zeta and give to finn
Then you can finish all.
Man, they're already frustrated, starting a new faction isn't going to help with that.
I took a look at your account. It seems like you are doing better with gear, but are still lacking full squads at G10-11. The problem with GW is that it is based off the power of you're top five characters, so if you only have a few at G11, it will make you're characters below that level nearly worthless.
I would focus on two squads to start off, looks like you have the beginnings of Empire and Rebels. For Empire I suggest using Palpatine as lead, along with Vader, Royal Guard, Tarkin and which ever fifth is strongest. Work on getting some others besides Vader and Palps to g10. This will help you unlock R2D2 when he comes back.
For rebels, you should use Wedge and Biggs along with two others and a tank. Maybe try to work on getting Stormtrooper Han or gearing up K2SO. Han is useful for the credit heist and critical chance mod challenge as well. Once you have to full squads at at least gear 10 it should make GW easier.
Try doing the first nodes with your best teams and use only basics so the specials are ready to go. Then only use lower squads until you hit a node you can't beat. Then you can bring in one of your better squads and they will already have turn meter loaded up. Also, don't forget you can retreat and try again if you need to. I try not to lose any of my main squad until the last three, but if you can't get this for yet, just apply it to your situation. Maybe try not to use your main squads until node six or something like that.
As for the events, it's usually pointless to try and get a squad ready for the current event. The best idea is to make note of what events need what squads and then try to make a squad for the next time it comes around. If you focus on characters with multiple factions, it can make this easier.
For example, Vader and Palps are Empire and Sith, so they will work for R2's event as well as the current places of power event. Phoenix squad's Kanan and Ezra are both Rebel and Jedi, and are also used for Thrawn. Focus on one faction at a time, and then once you get to gear 8, take them up one character at a time. You can ask on the forums what level you need them to be for events, but gear 9 is a pretty good rule of thumb.
Hope this helps a bit, good luck!
These characters will also work great in your arena team too. I don't have many g10/g11 characters either but I complete Galactic war daily with my arena team. And I also keep a rebel team and a Rey dps team to kill the leader of a tough squad I encountered. Also farm some utility characters like Kylo who can be used in multiple game modes(raids, arena, GW and PVE). Also as an F2P following the meta is the best option for us to stay strong in Arena. You can check my roster I don't even have as much as characters geared up as you.
