Changes to the pillars since publication?
Hi
As a fairly new player working my way through the “pillars” (I just got Phoenix to 7* except Sabine who is still at 3*)
I was wondering if some of the “side projects” are still relevant given all the other options that have been released since.
For example do I need Lando? Surely there are so many other options now that old republic are available and needed for Revin.
Not that I will be able to get revin for about 2 years 🤣
Welcome any thoughts on who isn’t as necessary and why.

Shadowscream posted a good thread last month about the pillars and how the game has evolved and stuff which can be found here:

Hope that thread can answer some of your questions!
The most important issues I note are.
1) BHs are much more relevant than in the past - Credit Heist, Bounties, Rebel Roundup, Ships, and Chewie —> so Boba, Cad Bane and Greedo in particular are more useful in the long run than someone like Lando (which the pillars recommend).
Also, you will need Dengar for Chewie —> he’s not a Legendary beginners can easily get (G12/11 Gear 7* BHs). You might as well slowly build up Dengar as he takes ages....
2) Darkside ships need enough focus to Unlock Tarkins Capital ship sufficient to get Zeta mats from the zeta ship challenge. Again not an early game goal but very important midgame to start amassing Zeta Mats.
3) Bastila should be slow farmed (probably) after Phoenix, Empire, CLS requirements. This is because her leadership ability once Zeta’d makes a weak faction strong. Once you add in GMY you have a solid team.
As a recently returned player I was way behind on the pillars. Given that I'm a huge fan of the Thrawn character I latched onto the pillars quickly and started grinding Phoenix. I almost have the core 5 Phoenix squad (no Sabine) to lvl 69, 5* and G8.
And I'm basically broke.
GW is very difficult for me to complete. I haven't finished it completely since I came back (got to node 12 once), and some days I can't even get through half of it before some lvl 85 7* squad decimates me.
The credit heists have helped a bit, and I've been trying to side-project a scoundrel team to increase that source of income, but those seem too few-and-far-between.
I've read that Resistance teams do well in GW, and given how critical GW is to maintaining any sort of cash flow, I'm thinking my second pillar should be Resistance. Naturally the same problem exists here: until they are viable for GW I would generally lack the credits to fuel leveling and star increases.
From those with more experience than I: does that sound viable, or would I just be wasting my time?
It will take some time before you will have one team that can just waltz through. And usually by then you're almost to the sim point and it all becomes rather pointless.
Credits are always a bottleneck for leveling/starring. Pick and choose wisely. Being in a guild that generates their tickets and runs frequent raids helps quite a bit as well, the guild currency and credits add up quickly.
Yeah I'm in a pretty good guild. Got a 500k payout for a completed Sith raid earlier today. I had forgotten about that.
Thanks. You've given me some more stuff to think about.
This is great advice, I did the same to make it through at least one node almost every day.
Yeah I do use suicide squads and retreat/retry strategies.
Starr GW with a low power squad... the game decides how hard your next battle is based on your teams power. So instead of starting out with your best 50k power team start out with a simple 30k team that can still beat it.
Second... Phoenix basically heals itself. Once you use them to unlock thrawn & Palp (by then you’ll also have Vader). Then it’s time to switch to empire when necessary.
But always always always start out with low power toons. Retreat if necessary or they are too weak. No penalty.
You have not heard about it because it is wrong.
I can complete GW with just them 2 out of 3 times
Usually if I can’t its because some ridiculous team shows up that wipes my entire roster
Yesterday I got a Traya led Sith team including nihilus and Sion, with zeta Vader and boba fett
Needless to say they whipped me so badly I barely got a shot in 🤣
