Since an update about a month ago gw has been extremely hard. I like a challenge but when I can't crack a dent in these team's it's not even fun which is the purpose. Today has gotten worse. Node 6 had to face The 4 Rogue one toons and Gen kenobi. And all of them decked out to make it impossible. Wish they would fix this or take out the toons ppl spend tons of loot to get.

^Then you have this. GW is what it is. I have most every faction 7* and Zetas and some days I get it handed to me and GW is a PITA. Other days I prance through it like a shimmering unicorn in a field of sparkles.
Also, you probably need to work on Boba Fett... he fixes things for you.
The reality is that Galactic War caters to players who have a large inventory to select from. Some players are not building an inventory, which is fine. But if you are struggling to break the top 200 in Arena, then the difference in crystals is what... 5-15 crystals????? I think I get 10 crystals each day for beating the last node of GW!
Develop a few teams, especially ones that have other uses, like Rebels, Jedi, Empire (now) for events, and you'll need tanks/support/attackers for the challenges, look at crew members because they have fleet uses... Get a few unique teams that have gear 6/7, most of their abilities and attacks to L5+, make sure they all have mods appropriate for their role.
I know I have a pretty deep roster, but I'm facing zeta's QGJ, Yoda, GK, teams or zeta'd Kylo Ren, nihilus, dooku, so my Rogue One can not beat some of these teams on the purple nodes at times, so I send in one of the others to soften them up a bit.

I use the exact same squad for both arena and GW, and rarely have to sub in a 'B Team' or change up individual characters. However, the Sith synergy is powerful right now. My Dooku is speed modded up and runs like a chop saw under Darth Nihilus lead. Baze? Dooku cuts through him pretty fast when he himself gets hit often by the opposing team, even with his friend healing him up. That's the great thing about battling an AI with weaknesses... it doesn't understand the advantage of not using an AE attack, or the futility of attacking Dooku when you can only scratch him.
I think its all about finding a powerful synergy that also takes advantage of the AI's weaknesses, and is also broad enough to deal with many varying circumstances. Then if you have a few other key characters to fill in when circumstances call for it, all the better.
They sometimes call arena 'Player vs Player', but really.... you're always playing the AI. There's one point where you actually can impact another player's efforts in PvP, and that has to do with influencing the choices they make before the battle. In GW, that's never an option... its just you and the AI.
Don't forget characters that dispel taunt either. Some options there.
