Leveling is a process of learning and you're in your way.
Keep up the good work and rank the ones you focus on to 7* and use em.
I totally agree with this. Also once your get your abilities to 3 or 4 be sure to scroll to see the necessary mats. I didn't know that there was a scroll bar(that u can't see) for a long time.
Beat GW today for the first time! 3rd time being eligible...
He probably purchased the 11k gems deal.
If you don't mind me asking...what is the trick?
When facing a team with Chewy, I kill everyone except him and try to make sure he has almost full health. Then I sub in Daka as lead with my most heavily damaged toon, just the two of them. I go back in and the added toon usually goes first and gets a hit on chewy, then Daka goes and casts heal, chewy goes and if his cool downs are reset, will taunt or heal.
My now healed toon goes next but instead I retreat. I put Daka back in alone against chewy. She and chewy take turns, and with her stun(leaving mine at level 3 for the added stun bonus, but not a lot of dmg), chewy stays stunned most of the time while she cools down her heal. The stun stops chewy from doing action, but the turn still counts towards his cool downs. When he doesn't get stunned he usually either taunts or heals beacuase his cool downs have reset.
Daka may get hit once or twice so you need to have enough levels and gear to survive. Once her heal cool down is reset, I retreat and put her back in with the next hero that needs a heal. That hero goes, hits chewy, Daka heals, retreat, Daka back in solo to reset cool down, over and over till everyone is healed.
The one hit from the to be healed hero helps reset their cool downs and is not usually enough to kill chewy, but sub your highest hitting guys in last to be healed and be sure you don't put in a guy that can one shot your current Chewy until your are done with him.
It can also be used to reset cool downs on your other healers by putting them in with Daka. If Lumi needs her skill cooled I put her in last after any needed healing on other heros as she has a pretty hard hitting main attack and may kill chewy.
Won today with only JC and Talia as healers. Another will be critical. I am only level 43 and somehow beat low 50 teams in battles 8,9, and 11

To open a new hero it works like this: heros that require
10 shards open at 1*
25 shards open at 2*
50 shards open at 3*
80 shards open at 4*
To add stars it works like this:
15 shards to go to 2* and 10k credits?
25 shards to go to 3* and 50k credits?
30 shards to go to 4* and 100k credits
65 shards to go to 5* and 250k credits
85 shards to go to 6* and 500k credits
100 stars to go to 7* and 1mil credits
So Lumi will start as a 3*.
****...didn't realize I was THAT far away...haha
Thanks for clarifying.
Honestly, these forums are amazing. Tons of helpful guys and lots of info. Read as much as possible about who to go for (farm) and who to upgrade, how to spend energy to maximize results...I only complete light and dark missions in spare time...the rest is sim to get gear/shards. 2 energy and 1 cantina refill a day and I am able to replenish daily from arena winnings. Usually finish in 30s, once finished 19. Use those gems to purchase energy.
I also play a TON...and, I got lucky on 1st day and pulled a Dooku from bronzium. He helped my foundation.
Ask any questions and I will try to help with specific questions as I can. I'm still learning everyday. These forums are only reason I was able to beat GW...retreat baby!
Nice. I'm trying to farm Dooku atm because I don't have enough dark side characters and he seems the easiest one to get. I haven't tried refilling (using crystals) to get more energy. But I heard a lot of people do. So I might try that.
I do have one question but its not really relevant to strategy and its if you are playing without money or if you are using money. If you did it without money that's really impressive. But either way you sound like you're doing really well
You're right about the resources of the forums though. But half the time i Struggle to understand what people are talking about lol so that's a little frustrating but hopefully it'll get better in time. I only just picked it up a week ago
Black Jesus saves!
I got SUPER lucky on day 1 to get him. He is a beast! Actually hard for me to farm. Only 2 battles, and I am lucky to get 1-2 shards...sitting at 22/30 to get him to 4*.
I bought a crystals fa sho. I refill energy quite a bit. Mostly because I am impatient as hell, and don't want to wait 6 hours for my energy to fill back up...
I also struggle to understand what people are saying sometimes...they say a word/acronym and I then have to go search the forums to see what the hell it means. Lol
I would definitely spend crystals to refill energy. The chromium are too much of a gamble IMO, and nothing else worth spending them on. Do the two 50 Crystal regular refills and 100 cantina refill for sure. You should make that back with dailies, GW, and arena.
More refills means more xp, training droids, credits, gear, shards, and ability mats. The more refills you do, the faster you level and equip your toons. I do refills depending on where I place in arena for the day. I usually do the regular 50,50,100 and sometimes the extra 100, and the cantina 100 and sometimes 200.
I bought the droid starter pack that came with some crystals, but have never bought crystals.
I bought the droid pack and DS starter pack when I first started, and I think the droid pack came with some crystals, but I haven't bought anything since. Been playing 26 days and I'm now lvl 57. Hoping to hit 60 before they raise the cap.
I definitely recommend using crystals on energy refills. The chromium packs are too much of a gamble IMO and nothing else is worth spending on.
You get 77 crystals from dailies and GW. Finish high in Arena and you can substantially increase your daily gem gain.
Each energy counts as one xp point, so the more you use, the faster you level. Also gets you more credits, training droids, ability mats, gear and shards.
I reccomend doing the two 50 Crystal regular refills and the 100 Crystal cantina refill at a minimum. The regulars for the gear, and the cantina for shards, ability mats, and cantina crystals.
I have been doing well in arena lately, finishing top 5 for the last week or so. The extra crystals have been great to do more refills and level and gear toons faster and get more shards and ability mats.
What terms are you struggling to understand?
