So I just read this a few days ago and decided to give it a try. It took me about a dozen tries but I just landed a 4 star Mace Windu. I'm just gonna go ahead and stick with him and start doing step 2.
I'm at lvl 7 rn but can I level to 8 to start getting cantina energy as well, or will that throw me in an arena shard? I guess what I'm asking is will I be thrown into a shard at lvl 8 or 28?
Another question I had was with the other throw away accounts can I check the amount of people in the arena shard at lvl 8 or would I have to get those to 28 before I could check (in regards to step 3)
Lastly.. I've read that Mace Windu isn't too good. He should be alright in the start though right? Gonna stick with him anyway just asking.

You will get mace windu in fleet training . So try for some other characters . Lando , baze , wedge , rex would be ideal.
Yes you can level upto lvl 27 and then stop there . You enter shard at lvl 28.
Throw away accounts will be needed to scout shard and lvl them too till 27. Once you think you are ready(hoarded enough) use throwaway one by one to check you are under at least 1000 , then finally level up to 28 with the hoarded account
I'm sitting at over 7k total energy.... how much is a good saving point to ensure a top 5 spot? Was thinking of waiting till the next 2x bonus rounds so I can make sure I get a ton of good gear on the way up....

You cant ensure a top 5 spot, but 7k is loads of energy, I am personally going to wait until I have enough cantina energy to be able to get boba on day 1, easy to work out and not rng based, he will give you a massive advantage at the start

Right, I'm at 2k catina right now.
So I've already dropped a few hundred to crystals and gottan a few nice drops, i have DN at 6*, and a ton of toons a 4-5*. I already have a bobba and lando. I want a good head start cause I'm not going to be dropping 10k on the game like some do, and I know there will be some massive whales. I'm willing to do a hundred a month or so maybe.
I think I'm good enough now to where I can probably push and get top 5 easily. might wait till I hit 10-12k energy total, and the next complete double drop.

Ok i'm going to make sure I am absolutely 100% not in your shard, i'm sure guys spend more, but to me you are a scary whale, using the perfect start as well you should absolutely dominate your shard.
Please let me know when you are going for it so that I don't end up in the same share as you

I was over the moon with a 4* Rex (and actually a 3* Hoth Rebel Soldier for free ), but I see a long way to go I have still.
To be clear: pre-28 hoarding is just farming Lando and Boba and doing nothing else to keep levelling to a minimum? Or first push to level 20 (am 16 now) to be able to do events daily as well as challenges?

I personally have gone for the 'do nothing but lando' way of doing things. It has taken me 2 weeks to get to level 22 and unlock Lando, but in that time I have saved nearly 2k energy.
Events are good and all, but the majority of them you won't have the toons to be able to participate, but still the ones you can participate in are great (the luke flash event got me a 4 star jawa scavenger, worth having).
I will probably have 25-30 lando shards on the way to 5 star by the time I am level 27, 60 odd boba shards to unlocking and around 3k energy.
(also forget the time zone trick with the lucky Rex 4* pull, don't have the patience to try to achieve that again in GMT+6, so meh (new tries deliverd 3* Poo and 2% Clone Sarg ffs)
So any tricks to the special events... can't get more than 50 shards for R2D2 even though I got a bunch of 5* and all blue g4..... I wasn't around for the thrawn stuff, but both emperor pap and r2d2 I could only get past tier2.
If you're on iOS then you have to keep creating new accounts.
If you're on Android emulator, you can keep changing device ID and rolling Guest accounts until you find one you like before binding it.
ediT: ok, i downloaded bluestacks, i was able to root it (root checker says ok) ... and i tried different id changers... but i still have the same guest account.
can somebody help me pls?;)
edit2: found a working id changer.. works and i can reset my guest account... nice;)
For anybody interested, I have only used cantina energy on lando shards since I got to level 8, and I am now level 27 ready to start hoarding proper.
I have unlocked lando and i'm 35 shards to 5*. I have 50 boba shards and 200 cantina tokens. I have 2500 energy saved, 1 million credits, a large assortment of training droids, 40 mk I, 26 mk II and 10 mk III ability mats.
My toons that I am planning to start using are gear level III - IV.
I am f2p so this is what can be achieved before starting squad arena in around 2 weeks.
Nice to read. I actually stopped farming Lando and instead took the 25 sim tickets per day so as to get a proper jump start when I launch. Am in fact hoarding on two accounts (one with 4* Rex from data card, but bad time zone, other with 3* Plo (sp?) and Jawa, and perfect time zone) curious how long I'll be able to restrain myself :-)
Following up and to further maximize my chance of F2P success: is there a list anywhere where people post their arena start rank to get an idea of new shard creation?
I've been rerolling accounts now and have gotten Resistance Pilot, Cassian, Ackbar, Jedi Guardian, Kit Fisto, Aayla x2, and Rex. I'm wanting Baze but I think I might just stick with Rex. I'm not sure if this is the best or not though.
As far as leveling goes, does one simply focus on Lando in Cantina and do hard missions until you get to 27? And once you get to 27, you just collect the energies, do events and challenges, but don't collect daily achievements? Is there a way to farm crystals and sims without completing dailies, or do you hoard them as you level to 27? I know you don't want to collect XP... Thanks for answering dumb questions!

I dont Think there is such a list. But that would be great as i only got 2 extra accounts to check the shards..
looks like you will be nr1 for a while, seems a soft shard so far...
Yeah, this shard seems soft like you said. I have everyone beat by 5 levels and maxed gear for my level..... even have baze/wiggs with a 7 star DN haha. i've been beat by the 2nd place guy a few times, but that we before I got chaze up and running.

If I'm missing something ???
any reports of current arena data? am i scouting this alone?
I'm at lvl 7 rn but can I level to 8 to start getting cantina energy as well, or will that throw me in an arena shard? I guess what I'm asking is will I be thrown into a shard at lvl 8 or 28?

I plan to launch late August or early September, you?

Late august/Early september Sounds Great to me.
Do you have discord?
@wizzydizzy i am glad i dont Share a Shard with you
You can also pm it to me.
Not half bad, I'd say. FWIW, my 3* Plo Koon was followed some days later by a 4* Boba from Bronzium, so Chromium isn't everything
