Have not played since October 2018

Rago

Greetings,
I have a request.
Could someone perhaps help me to be up to date?

I haven’t played since October 2018.

I am not asking for every new character, that has been introduced, but for every change in the game that needs to be known to be able to play the game good again.

Thanks.

Kind Regards.

Farm Old Republic characters if Arena is important to you. For the past 12 months this game has been nothing but Old Republic characters and Revan Mirror matches.

Bounty Hunters and Ewoks are now needed for Legendary events to unlock Chewie and C-3PO (both of whom make CLS very viable again)

Bounty Hunter Ships are needed to unlock the OT Falcon, which needs Raid Han and Chewbacca (see above) as crew. The Falcon and Hounds Tooth have pretty much broken Fleet arena.

Grand Arena (can't remember when that was introduced) - decent. Rewards aren't great but the experience is good. Very important to not inflate your GP un-necessarily as this effects who you get matched with.

Malak has been released and is pretty much the latest topic of major frustration.

Latest news is farm Separatists for a new Padme Legendary and be making a start on Anakin (who along with Ashoka and General Kenobi) has just had a rework. He's likely needed for a Fallen Anakin event at some point.

General Grievous finally is half decent.

It's been nerf city lately. Finns leader ship has changed so doesn't work how he once did. Nest got a nerf something to do with her being able to stand up to the shiny new Revan at the time and the devs didn't like it. Also pretty much any team that is capable of beating Malak will likely get nuked also... (said with a tongue in cheek)

Think that's about it.

Hey DarthJelly,
A great thanks for this very good summary. I think I will now be able to learn how to play the game again.
Kind Regards.

Hey Waqui,
will check them as soon as possible.
Also thanks to you.

Honestly...you are probably better off starting over with a new arena shard.

Really depends what his roster looks like and how much time/money he has invested in it.

As I have played the last time (2018), my arena-power was/is 102.000. I hope it is still much.

I find it very difficult to think that his roster could be in any decent shape being out for 6 months. Arena and ships are basically a loss at this point.

How long had you been playing prior to Oct 2018? And also do you have an swgoh.gg acct? We could give you better advice if you posted it here.

Arena power is not a good measure of arena viability, unfortunately.

That doesn't look too bad.

If you want to stay Rebel, farm Bounty Hunters to get Legendary Chewie and Ewoks to get Legendary C3PO.

If you want to go meta Jedi, power up Bastilia as interim lead and farm Old Republic toons for Jedi Knight Revan.

Even if the meta shifts before you get there, both teams will serve you well in other areas of the game.

I would start over.

When I read this post:

Have you looked at the swgoh.gg profile provided? Maybe used some reasoning before spam-posting? Like, I don’t know, noticing that he has a G12 CLS??????

I find it difficult that you didn’t look at the roster.

Also good luck Rago, you should look for a new guild as well. If you are planning to continue with rebels, a pretty potent faction, then get C3PO and Chewie as others have mentioned. For that you will need Ewoks and BHunters, both of which can be found in the guild store. By the time you get a new meta squad, a newer meta could come out, but it’s entirely up to you. Best of luck in the game.

DO NOT START OVER

DarthJelly

Rank 422 after 6 months out... Stay on Target my friend, don't restart anything.

Get Chewie, he really makes CLS and Han pop. Then get Threepio. What you do next with the 5th slot is up to you.

Thrawns is ...well Thrawn so = Awesome
R2 has great synergy with the Rebels and Threepio
Old Ben would be great as the team is missing a tank.

I switch between those three regularly depending on my needs. I usually leave OB in overnight.

Vanitas

I would not start over if i were you... That is alot of G12 characters you have! I would try to get C3 and Chewie as fast as possible. Having C3 and Chewie will boost your arena rank alot! Have fun and again...
DO NOT START OVER!!!

Rago

Hey Everybody,
Thanks for all your advice. I think that I have now a clear picture of what to do. And thankfully my rebels team can still be used.
Kind Regards.

I been out longer and I just learned alot reading this to get back on target.

I'd keep working on your Home One in addition to the bounty hunter ships. After you unlock Chewie and Han's Millennium Falcon, you can switch to the current fleet meta (all rebels except for Bossk's Hound's Tooth. You already have a well-geared Ackbar, Biggs and Wedge plus the Phoenix ships, so that's a pretty solid basis in fleet too.
