Came back to the game for about a month now and seems like I'll stick to it this time. Was playing properly till Fleets 2.0, then stopped and had an on/off relationship with the game.
After returning properly, I managed to do a few things: (1) (almost) build a basic Geo squad for Padme/GAC, (2) get JKR (today actually), (3) relic Vader (still @ R2). My current plan is:
(a) Cantina farms:
a.1. Finish GBA (38/100) to get Padme.
a.2. Get Vader to R5
a.3. Finish JKA (9/65, 4*)
(b) Normal energy:
b.1. Get Bossk and Jango (13/30, 3*) to 7* (67/85 atm) for Chewie.
b.2. Get Piett to 7* (0/330 atm)
(c) Fleet energy
- I'm a bit lost here, among the Shaak Ti, Greef/Y-wing and Carth nodes. I lean on Shaak Ti to be my 5th for my JKR team, when GK eventually leaves for Padme. Note, I can't beat Hard 5B yet. Also, I REALLY hate ships!
(d) Stores:
d.1. Shard currency from Cantina.
d.2. Gear from Guild.
d.3. Prestige from Squad Arena.
d.4. Ships and/or Shard currency from GW.
d.5. Omega/Zeta/Cody/Grievous from Fleet (I pivot between those, depending on whether I currently need Omega/Zetas for a squad).
d.6. Gear from Guild Events
d.7. Gear from Shard
General Plan:
My short-term goal is to finish JKR for Arena (use as Leader and replace R2 for defense) and relic Vader (I use a Palp/Vader team on offense). My arena is an ocean of JKR/DR(w/ Malak) teams, which makes it really hard to cope. Same goes for GAC: my GP is a bit bloated from toons of old (pre-Revan) and I constaly get matched with people who have all the new (and much much better) teams (DR/JKR/Padme/NS, even low star Mon Mothmas!). My ships are truly horrible.
My mid-term goal is to build BHs, get Chewbacca up and running and, then, gear/zeta a Padme team.
Long-term, I'm a bit confused: would prefer to go for SEE (since I'll built my dark side as well, which is lacking), but maybe C3P0 is a better choice (my Ewoks are terrible).
To enjoy the game, I chose to ignore Wampa/Hoda/Malak/GAS. While great toons and some required for others (JKL, JML), I prefer to ease the gear grind than get a 2020 Galactic Legend in 2022 or so. The only GET toon I might consider (in the far future) would be Malak (if I ever go for DR).
I don't mind spending a bit (like ~10$/month). My guild is doing heroic raids and Hoth TBs (~100m GP).
That was a long post! Would love some feedback to get me going again! My swgoh.gg is

* = needs gear / lvls
1) your teams:
2) Priorities (teams)
@KorAgaz now it is your turn. This is my recommendations for A GAME. It is your choice what you do, and I cannot make that choice for you. If you can edit the priority list for how you would like it, please say. Based on your priority list, I will start to make fleet options and farming plans.
I think your priority list is spot on, I would just put BH in critical/high because it gives me Chewie for rebels and there's already a solid baseline for that team (it's not like my Ewoks which are at level 1 without gear and, ofc, stars).
ok. Thank you. I'm going to start on your ships and farming guides now.
...
I hate it too, but I just get on, still working for the Zeta challenge, then Stage 5 fleet, then I'm done till division 6 of GAC.
...
I believe an Imperial + Geo and a rebel fleet would be best for your initial 2. You will eventually have a complete imperial fleet and a separatist and galactic republic fleet as well.
First Order and Resistance fleets will only be made when necessary (for SLKR / Rey).
YOU WILL NEED HOUNDS TOOTH FOR YOUR FLEETS.
To start, your energy farming plan.
Ok:
(a) Cantina farms: Here there are some priorities. I'm not the best with juggling characters and signal data, but one thing I know is it is meant to be more efficient to farm signal data through Weekly Shipments.
(b) Normal energy: Do 3-5 at a time, depending on how much crystal income and how many crystal refreshes you spend. The rest is for gear.
(c) Fleet Energy, Let's work it out ... If you cannot reach the battle needed, just go to the next toon on this list, and try for that battle.
I will be making a Store guide soon ...
d.1. Cantina Store:
Bistan 7*.
After that, you won't currently need anything, so just farm Cassian's U-Wing for shard shop currency at the best value. Bistan is for fleet so you want him 7*.
d.2. Guild Store: This will be a farming store first for needed characters, and then gear indeed.
d.3. Squad Arena:
CUP 7*
In all seriousness DO NOT DO THAT NOW!
Prestige!!! as you said.
d.4. GW Store: Do 2 at a time, and more if you have more than 2k
d.5 Fleet Store: Try to earn omegas from Daily Activities and Challenges and Omega Battles and Assault Battles (mythic tier)
d.6. GET Store: I will keep as much as I can to your request, but Malak, GAS, Wampa, and Hoda are important.
- Hoda 7*
- Gear Interval for a month or 2
- Wampa 7*
- Gear Interval for a month or 2
- Malak hoard and 7*
- Gear Interval for a month or 2
- GAS hoard and 7*
- Gear
MK2d.7. Shard Store: Hoard for Stun Guns. Only if you have more than 8k, buy other gear.
@MasterSeedy will probably correct me on this part.
Hope that helps. Anything more just ask.
After some research, I might bite the bullet and get at least Hoda to 7* (only ~150 shards left after all).a
Thanks again and happy new year!
get hoda, wampa, gas, and malak eventually. They are all totally important for your roster
The part I enjoyed the most was making a plan like you did to get those characters.
(You were off the game for longer than me so I didn't miss as much as you did, but still)
Hyoda makes jedi teams great. Wampa I like him, but feel like he doesn't have a place in GAC/TW anymore (both are needed for JKLS though)
Malak is a great character and so is GAS, but I don't think you need to focus on them right away.
Good luck in your return!
Yh I started on and off just before Hyperdrive came out, and restarted in Jan, not realising that I missed out on that pfp. It’s definitely a good feeling, but treasure it before it goes (GAS/Malak/JKL/GL/C-3PO)
If you're not going o buy Wampa shards with GET currency, then you really **must** get Wampa shards from the Galactic Bounties 1 event. It's the only other source in the game for Wampa. There are only 2 chances to get shards from the event each time it comes around, which means you can't get other toons from there, but trust me. All of the other characters are easier to achieve than Wampa. Wampa is on the "deadly" (final) tier of GB1, but beating that tier is a very achievable goal.
To beat the event you can use a g8-9 The Mandalorian (for his instant disintegrate) with a zBossk (to keep Mando alive until the final encounter) + other toons that stun (dengar, cad bane, Aurra) or ability block (Boba).
Or you can use g11 bounty hunter toons that stun & ability block. If Wampa gets off her special a single time, the fight is likely over.
In any case, GB1 offers you only 2 shard opportunities. I strongly recommend that you don't use them on other toons. If you focus on Wampa, from the first time you can defeat the deadly tier, you'll get 20 shards of her every 50 days or so (that's how often the event returns). So in another 350 days, you'll have 160 shards and can unlock her.
It's a very slow way to get the toon, but it avoids spending GET1 which is the second most valuable currency in the game, while still making progress towards Jedi Luke who is one of the most valuable toons in the game, especially comparing the return on investment, since he only costs about 1/2 the investment of GL toons but can win Challenge Tier-3 assault battles and LS Geo TB battles just as well as any GL. The only areas in which a GL is better right now are Squad Arena & the Rancor Challenge Tier.
In truth, you'll probably eventually spend GET1 on Wampa rather than waiting the full 2+ years to prepare your bounty hunters & then get her to 7* through GB1, but gearing up your bounty hunters sooner will get you Chewbacca and then speed up your eventual Wampa farm (and make it cost less GET) for every time you cycle through the event.
