f2p for new players, thrawn, palp, r2, GM yoda easy

Hello! This is for new players
These are just a couple of steps to get you started after you create your account.
1: Start on Phoenix. This is an incredibly easy faction to farm and level up.
2: Thrawn. Now that your Phoenix is powerful, you can get Thrawn.
3: Palp. Phoenix is rebel.
4: Unlock Vader, Royal Guard and Stormtrooper and adequately power them up.
5: R2. You now have the characters needed to unlock R2.
6: GMY: Your Kanan and Ezra should be powered up, along with Ahsoka, Anakin and Old Ben
7: 7-Star Farmboy Luke, Leia, Old Ben, Stormtrooper Han and R2
8: CLS: You need the above characters for CLS.
9: Geonosians. With 3 important DS ships and strength in GAC, Geonosians are good to farm.
10: Padme: Use Geonosians.
11: GAS? JKR? go for whoever you want next!

  • Just be sure to leave phoenix once you completed thrawn- they are amazing in the beginning but fall off over time. don’t get attached to them. the best jedi forego all attachments
  • Based on my calculations, The Phoenix team would be the best starting team for 6 of the 8 Galactic Legends.

    However, I think the Phoenix team isn’t the best starting team for 2 GL’s.
    The 2 GL’s which I don’t think benefit from Phoenix team are Lord Vader & Jedi Master Kenobi.

    I think the best starting team for Lord Vader & JMK would be a Galactic Republic / Jedi team.
    If you look at the requirements for LV & JMK, you can sort of see what I’m saying.

    The Phoenix characters are not requirements for LV or JMK.
    The Characters the Phoenix team unlocks Emperor Palpatine, Thrawn, & Chimera are not requirements.

    The only benefit the Phoenix team provides is they can partially unlock Grand Master Yoda who is a JMK requirement, but they are not fully unlocking GMY so it’s still not good starting team.

    Also, Lord Vader doesn’t need GMY.
    GMY isn’t a requirement for LV.

    For the above reasons, A Galactic Republic Jedi team would be best option in my opinion.
    The reason why is due to the following:

    Lord Vader has a requirement which needs General Skywalker.
    General Skywalker has a requirement which needs a person to build up Galactic Fleet.

    The game gives players Jedi Knight Anakin, Ahsoka, & Mace as starting characters.
    They are Galactic Republic/Jedi who own ships.

    All a person would need to do is build up Jedi Consular & Plo Keen
    Both own ships and add healing & turn meter to the team.

    Again the main focus is the ships because that is what Lord Vader indirectly needs.
    I’m recommending characters who have ships, but it doesn’t mean they are greatest characters in world.

    The 5 characters I mention could unlock GMY who could Improve the ground team.
    A person could also farm up a Bastila Shan as a lead to help improve ground team.
    Just remember these improvements would be side projects which is fine.

    The main thing is LV needs Galactic Republic Fleet.
    He doesn’t need a specific Capital Ship.
    He doesn’t need GMY

    It’s important to know the above because Jedi Master Kenobi is the opposite of Lord Vader.
    JMK needs General Kenobi, Negotiator, & Mace
    JMK needs GMY
    JMK doesn’t need the Galactic Republic Fleet

    It’s a little weird, but the issue is you can’t have 1 with out other.
    You sort of what them both together.

    If you have this crazy strong Capital ship, you might as well use it to help you in rankings.
    Than when you go to use it, you have to think what pairs with it and you reach same conclusion.

    So yeah - I just want to mention if you want to aim for LV or JMK
    You probably want to start with Galactic Republic team as your first team instead of Phoenix.

    Again, it’s not that Phoenix is bad.
    Phoenix is good team, but if you think about the requirement.
    You can see how that team isn’t really helping you.

    I have a different take on this, but it might be an unpopular one.

    I started with Geonosians as they have 3 drivers - 3 ships, plus they are needed in DS Geo, and they are a great team to have pvp as well as pve early on.

    I also hear that imp troopers are the way to go in the beginning of the game (Please refer to Ahnald's 2023 F2P Guide on Youtube)

    It depends on the focus your account wants to go. I focused on ships mainly for the most important currency in the game, gems

    I did phoenix much later to just pick up Palp & Thrawn, but did not need them after that UNTIL going for Profundity which Hera is needed at R5 to achieve...

    In my LV & Kenobi guide, The Geonosians would be the 2nd team.
    Although, people could argue about that for LV.

    The 1st ground & air team would be Galactic Republic.
    Than I have Geo’s as 2nd ground & air team.

    The reason I put it that way is because Dark side campaign is locked till you get 4 dark side heroes.
    Building Light side team as your 1st team is usually easier because the game gives a lot of free starter light side characters.

    However, I do think Phoenix is a better 1st team for other GL’s.

    For example:
    Sith Eternal Emperor needs Thrawn & Palpatine.
    Phoenix unlocks both so starting with them makes sense.

    Running Imperial Troopers as 1st team wouldn’t help because you would have to go back to building Phoenix team later on for Thrawn anyway.

  • Are you factoring in Captain Rex? With him Phoenix are a top tier team. I killed an R8 Reva team in GAC with Phoenix….

    I’m not really talking about how good or bad Phoenix is.
    I was talking about the starting paths of GL’s.

    If a person wanted to go after Lord Vader, The Phoenix team isn’t really helping a person unlock Lord Vader.

    None of the Phoenix team Is part of LV requirement
    None of the Characters Phoenix unlock are part of LV requirements.
  • I think it was reply to the comment which recommends to drop phoenix after opening Thrawn and Palp. It was true before CRex but very different now.

    i do not have rex but i have heard this. also, rex and hera are needed at relics for journey guides so yes, they may be worth it. personally, i would prob throw rex on an extra rebel soldier team though, instead of working on phoenix. then again, if kannan is as good as they say for leia, he could be good at relics which would leave you without him as a central part of phoenix.

    You should farm Captain Rex.
    Captain Rex is crazy good.
