I think I blew it going Jedi off the bat - advice?

HjobbaTheHut

So I got really excited, I got qui gon and luminara today, and then realized “oh Fish, I just lost all 5 battles and blew the galactic war really early. As I read through forums, it looks like Jedi is great... after you get General kenobi, the hardest player to farm in the game.

So can someone throw me some advice on what direction to go based upon who I have? Because I get the idea that I spent all my resources on jedis, only to get thrashed by Phoenix squad or dark sisters, etc every time.

At your level, I would say Phoenix is your answer. Farming them gets you palp and thrawn too.

Well, you have 5 Empire characters, so you could build them up to make an Empire team and aim to get R2D2. Or you have 2 First Order characters, so you could build them up and add 3 more for a First Order team to get BB8.

But honestly, your best bet is probably to farm Phoenix like the players who are currently beating you

HjobbaTheHut

Ugh, I was hoping that wasn’t the concensus because that feels an awful lot like starting over. Especially because the level I’m sitting on in cantina will let me farm regular Kylie Ren, and I’m not far from getting vador

You're early. Changing course is easier. You don't even have anyone at seven stars yet.

Generally, the best advice starting out is to focus on Phoenix, then Empire, then Scoundrels.

Phoenix (particularly Hera, Ezra, Kanan, Chopper, Zeb) are pilots and get you Palpatine and Thrawn, and are a solid defensive team besides, who fare very well in GW.

Empire (particularly Palpatine, Vader, Tarkin, TIE Pilot, Thrawn) give you a strong dark side team that fares well in the arena. While waiting on the legendaries, decent potential filler characters include Stormtrooper, Boba Fett, and Magmatrooper.

Scoundrels (particularly Lando, Stormtrooper Han, and Boba Fett) are for credit/droid heists. Credit heists can get you a ton of credits, which will always be in short supply.

i put more effort into jedi than i probably should have when i started too. i didn't realize how underpowered they are, and i really struggled in the arena for a while. the nightsister rework happened a few months after i started, and that's what i use now. there are a handful of basic configurations that are viable, so there's bound to be one you like. the ones you'd get to fastest are probably empire and first order

Darn near perfect post - thank you for it!

If you haven't spent more than $25 yet I would start over

Bah. Super premature for that.

Thank you I’m going to follow this plan to a t. Double shart weekend should get my Phoenix characters unlocked Sunday morning. I’m going to use energy after that to stay on luminara and Ashoka because then at least I have a suitable backup for galactic war, then tide fighter pilot, then lando, then boba. (I’m planning on going just total farm mode this weekend).

HjobbaTheHut

Rrrr, lando is in the cantina, so the boba. Lando will wait.

There's always a line for your attention. This game is about priorities; take it one step at a time, and stick to your plan.

That said, there are several standard energy nodes you could farm Boba from, but I'd recommend farming him mainly from the cantina store after you get Chopper to seven stars.
