Game strategy
I made an elaborate plan that outlined my strategy to get CLS, but lately, I’ve been super frustrated becuase my fleet is lacking and all my ships get killed within a minute. Should I abandon my quest to get CLS and just focus on upgrading characters that can pilot ships?

CLS can Solo Phase one of HAAT
CLS can Solo HPit or be part of a TM reduction team to Solo
CLS is needed for LSTB
CLS comes with an achievement which gives gear, credits and a Zeta if I remember rightly.
Yeah, he’s actually worth it
The game is all about long haul plans. Keep focus and plan ahead.
Dont be scared to change/make new plans, but dont do so lightly.
Ships are a deep project, but can be done in parallel, just take it slow. Ships is one of the easier places to make a come back.
You have plenty of pilots, you can farm without conflicts with your preparation for CLS. Biggs, FOTP, Boba Fett, JC and Vader to name a few
Technically, I don’t have anyone for the CLS challenge at 7* yet. However, I do have one or two characters for the JTR challenge at 7* already, so I’m not sure if I should go for JTR instead.
If you dont have BB8 yet or at least the full 7* squad of FO to unlock him this month then I'd strongly suggest sticking with CLS first. JTR is a MUCH longer road, but with that being said both events are most likely this month and since you probably won't be ready you'll have plenty of time to prepare for the next round, typically 3 months away.
As for ships, have you unlocked the zeta mat challenge yet? If yes, focus on CLS as your main with ships thrown in where possible, if however you haven't unlocked the zeta mat challenge then I'd focus on ships above all else until then.
Stick with getting him. You won't regret it.
Excuse me, but what is the Zeta mat challenge?
Dont shout.
Personally, I think Cls is overhyped. The only thing CLS got me was the ability to solo the Rancor, but as there are many in my guild who can also do that, even that is not really a big deal, putting me to around rank 10-15.
I put cls in tw, but he doesnt stop too many attackers usually, and i dont use him for anything else. So from my subjective perspective, it wasnt worth the farm.
He is extremely useful in Tank and TB and many rebel events. The characters you have to farm to get him are all good. I will agree people seem to have figured him out for TW and he has been getting 1-shot for me recently.
Okay. I’ve been working on Tarkin and Vader lately, so maybe I need to also focus on TIE fighter pilot too. I was reluctant to work on him because of the new ships meta, but he might come in handy later. I was planning to use Imperial Guard and Thrawn as well for the R2-D2 event.
I don’t have the Zeta challenge unlocked yet, so should I try to focus on that? Or just keep working on CLS? I mean, once I get CLS, then I can start farming Zetas for him. Or something.
That said, Vader, Tarkin, FTP are all pilots and needed for 7 star r2. So you're kind of working on both. You can also use all your galactic war node currency to buy ship shards for biggs, wedge, TFP, and the genosian while farming the other things for CLS.
I'm in the same boat (still leveling though) where I'm focusing my cantina and daily energy towards starring up and gearing up CLS stuff, and everything else is going towards pilots/ships.
That said, if your math for how many shards/gear you're getting per day says you won't get a shot at CLS, I would consider focusing exclusively on pilots/ships until you unlock the zeta challenge, then come back and finish CLS farming and aim for the Sept/Oct CLS event.
The whole game is designed to frustrate your plans so you end up spending money to fulfill your goals. That is not a criticism. That is the whole function of the game.
So you can go two ways. Firstly, you can pay up. Secondly, you can work towards a goal regardless of everything else that is going on around you, ignore the shiny new distractions put there to tempt you and grind single-mindedly towards your goal.
The choice is yours.
But...CLS is definitely worth it.
Yes, CLS is beatable in tw and even in a single battle most often.
But it takes a strong team to do so, don’t forget that. Your opponents aren’t taking him out with tuskens, they are using a strong offense team that would otherwise be available for another defensive team.
Even getting one-shot serves a purpose if it eats up a good offensive team.
By the way, how hard is it to get shards for Vader’s TIE fighter? I don’t see it in the Fleet Arena Store, and today, it only popped up in shipments and it cost a lot of crystals.
