Suggestions for next farm.
Hello everyone,
Almost have Ezra at 7 stars (49/100) from cantina, working on all phoenixes on each possible shipment except for Sabine.
My question is who to farm next? My current arena squad consists of boba, land, STHan, ezra, and lumi.
I have TERRIBLE dark side characters and I'm currently level 67. I know Wedge comes available at level 69 in cantina, so should I just skip over any potential darkside characters and just go directly to Wedge like I normally planned?
Phoenix btw is great for early level GW.
Even with Kanan at 4 stars and Chopper at 5.

On top of that, if your guild is like mine, you guys probably run into a Platoon situation where they're calling for 2 Wedges in every platoon, so your guild will likely thank you there as well.
I'd definitely start throwing together an Empire team for the sake of getting R2D2. If you have the option, putting together a good Empire Squad that doubles as a decent Dark Side Territory battle team would be ideal (something like a Trooper squad, including Veers, perhaps.)
Alternately, If your Phoenix team is good enough to get you Emperor Palpatine and Thrawn, you've already got a great start there. You'll probably get Vader up in stars as you go too, just be sure to keep an eye out for him in the Fleet Shop. With those three and a couple other easily farmed Empire characters, you'd have a good start on Dark Side. (You can farm Tarkin from Arena and Stormtrooper from Cantina Shop, or Magmatrooper in GW Shop, though I'd recommend Stormtrooper over Magmatrooper, personally).
I'll go for Stormtrooper once I finish up Chopper. Thank you.
Any idea on who the next legendary character will be or an order in which they might come? It sucks I can't get five star Thrawn this time around even though I'm so close. Just behind on Kanan since I went for StHan to 7
I think it is more efficient for you to get palpatine more than any other, just for getting 7star R2.
If you have 7star thrawn that would be perfect, but if you don't, try palpatine vader snow tarkin storm tfp rg
I currently have 7star vader, tarkin, tfp, rg, /and storm at 95/85 shards (lack credits to 6star), palpatine at 5stars
They are all 'decent', but not as good as rebels such as chaze, wiggs, etc.
definitely go for wedge along with some empires for r2, and for cls.
Because many empires are very hard to come by actually, and heard tier 7 is extremely difficult without palp for earlystage f2p gamers like me.
Shoretrooper and Krennic are also good but very hard to get.
The best empire toon is undoubtedly Thrawn. Fracture, Turnmeter manupulation, AB, Cleanse. Keep up the good work and go for him
1. Jawas. Dathcha and jawa can be farmed there and are required to unlock critical damage mods (mandatory). At some point you'll need themn they're quite terrible as a faction but their mods are really game changing.
2. If you're planning to play jedi one day, Cantina is the place to farm them: Anakin, Aayla secura, Bariss Offee and Old Ben.
3. If you don't care about jedi, you'll need Old Ben to unlock Luke anyway.
4. Resistance and FO have two crucial toons there: Finn and Kylo Ren. If you want to play this factions you'll need them asap. Don't underestimate resistance, they're really powerful and quite easy to farm (you only need a zeta to make them viable).
5. Once you're high level Cantina has really strong DS toons, Deathtrooper for imperial (troopers), Assassin and trooper Siths.
6. Low level farmable toons such as Tie pilot or Genosian soldiers are quick farm and also really useful pilots. Genosian soldier is easy to gear and can deal some humongous amount of damage at low level too, paired with Boba double strike and you can kill anything really fast.
What gear should I stop at for Phoenix to reliably get thrawn the next time around and to also unlock EP? I have most at 6 or 7 with Hera being 8 and Ezra being one item away from 8.
40/80 on Wedge because of fleet shipments so that will not be as big of a chore once I hit level 69. Most of my toons are modded with 5* Health mods so far.
Current jedi: 7 Lumi, almost 7 Ezra, 5 JC, 4 Ahsoka, 4 Mace Windu
Don't focus much on jedis at start, i made that mistake and i still deeply regret it. Jedi is a terrible (outdated) faction and to make them viable you'll need a lot of stuff such as General Kenobi, a zeta'ed Qi gon, R2 is a nice option here, rare toons (at least a pain to farm) such as Aayla/Anakin/QiGon/Ezra etc.
As far as i'm concerned i got Thrawn with mostly gear 8 Phoenixes (Chopper, no Sabine) but Ezra was gear 11 (it helps a lot since he's the only one who's dealing damage). Ezra is the only Phoenix really worth the investment so feel free to gear him as much as you can. Thrawn event is mostly RNG so put your best mods on them (the more speed you can) and pray.
I haven't spent more gear on Phoenixes since gear 9 and above is highly expensive (perhaps even the most expensive faction, what a joke !)
Wedge lead can compete against rex.
So your plan is ok.
Yeah, not really impressed with Jedi. It seems their top tiers are nice, but hard to get going.
I do have Biggs currently and slowly getting him up through DS nodes as well as sharing GW between him and Zeb.
I am putting resources into Ezra, but what should my arena team look like in the end after Biggs is up to gear and Wedge comes into play? I know to replace Luminara, but who else? Keep Lando or keep Boba? Drop Ezra?
wedge biggs lando sth boba
and move on to
wedge biggs chirrut baze r2
(in case you don't have r2, you can use ezra or boba or even lando)
and then move on to
cls r2 chirrut baze + 1
and finally
cls r2 gk + 2 (thrawn, han solo, nihilus, fulcrum, rex, zeta barriss (kenobi lead), wampa, hermit yoda (ackbar lead with cls))
Thank you for making that quick and easy.
I'm struggling to get back under 50. I was 47 for a day and then 49 for a day but now since a lot of the early Phoenix users have Thrawn I can see me dropping more and more. I haven't been able to get past 66 so far. Starting to see some squads that I wreck me after I go first turn.
both case wiggs chaze r2
or wiggs boba lando sth
would do well. but the latter will struggle more.
good thing is thrawn is controlled poorly by AI on defense.
You just need good mods. Critical damage, Speed, Critical Chance, Health, Potency (Debuffing team only) mods are all good. But what matters most is speed secondary stats. +29 at best, +0 at worst. +20~29 is a god mod
+15~19 very good, +10~14 decent, +6~9 ok, +1~5 usable but should be replaced in time, +0 bad unless primary is a good one
PS if you go up against empire biggs will get a ton of turns due to his unique Adrenaline Rush. max out his special and unique first
You're telling me! I have to snipe teams that I know I can beat but it's so difficult because my entire shard is FILLED to the brim with Phoenix, Nightsisters, or 3-5 obvious P2P teams of crazy configurations that make me... cry.
Thats the same team i used to use...kill kanan first to end their counters, then ezra, then hera.
Boba is just good for dispelling taunt because his bleed gives health to them.
However Phoenix can be handled easily by Rebels
Phoenix is strong against debuffers due to Kanan unique. Rebels don't inflict many debuffs.
Phoenix gets a ton of health and protection every turn, but they are slow.
Phoenix lacks damage, and when Ezra is gone, their damage gets even 1.3 times weaker and main damage dealer is gone.
Phienix with Sabine in the place of Chopper is even more vulnerable. Kill Sabine first and then Ezra is my recommendation but vice versa is also fine.
Since you have lando, use AOE on and on and on and the moment you get wedge, Phoenix will not be any obstacle for you. That combo is the power house. Biggs will become twice stronger and Wedge will do a massive AOE along with Lando against enemies more than half health.
Ideally, Biggs will go first, almost killing one with his special with one shot, next wedge will do AOE, doing massive damage on all. Lando will come around do his first AOE, Stormhan will taunt, Boba will do AOE or execute, Biggs again, Wedge, Lando again, Game over
Plus if you add Chirrut Baze, due to constant heal and taunt, your team will become the terror of your shard
Even better, get rid of chaze and add kenobi, Chirrut's uncountable Heal over time can give opportunity for enemy boba to execute chirrut, which will mess up the whole team. However GK just cleanse(this is very important part) and dont give a ton of Heal over times and give retribution to allies(very important). The healing part can be nicely done by zeta barriss
Those wouldn't bother you anymore once you get wedge
However, CLS? Well if you see several CLS teams, that's about time wedge and Aoe rebels will start falling apart
CLS is the meta
All of this is true the problem is, I guess for me, Is lack of Wiggs combo right now because of my level.
Gear 8 Phoenix all level 7 gets a huge bump in protection and heatlh (also depending on their mods), right?
I usually take out Ezra first because of the damage and then after that I can outlast anything they do because of Lumi's heal, even with a cooldown of 5. If It even gets to that.
I'm usually fast enough due to Lando's lead to attack with just about everyone. If I get lucky and get two multi-attacks with boba and ezra due to ezra's Watch and Learn and then get at least once crit with Boba i can do amazing damage. Lately though their Ezra's are surviving this barrage barely. Then I have to waste time cleansing new protections and taunts from Kanan, Chopper, Zeb, etc. I try to ability block Hera so she can't do that revive thingy, too.
It's just cringey sometimes. I usually pick on this one dude that has the same squad comp except he has Admiral Ackbar and I destroy him. I guess he has his toons modded incorrectly and his speed is lackluster.
Edit: Then of course I have a good play and then KANAN dodges my Execute with Boba while he has 6 status effects up, including taunt.... you got to be kidding me.
After finishing Biggs in gw should I get cad Bane for my last scoundrel? I’m seriously in need of credits but don’t know which last scoundrel to get. (Lando boba STHan and chewie so far for me)
If you have no other plans for that shop go ahead.
Boba Lando STHan and raid Han (and you can't really hurry him up) are the four best scoundrels the rest are whatever you happen to have available.
IG 88 has purposes in a droid team for certain parts of haat. Otherwise its much of a muchness.
Going empire after I get done with Phoenix from other shipments.
I'm not sure if he is included in your empire plans but the Palpatine event is predicted for early January.
