Returning after 1.5 years

I last played when Jedi Training Rey came out. I used to be top 50 in arena. My arena team is the gk, cls, bariss, thrawn team (g12 ). Do I have to restart with a new account? Is it worth going for the revans or should I just wait for a new meta? Shouls I change my arena team to palp or something else even though those characters are only t10? Also my account: https://swgoh.gg/p/863479468/characters/

- gear up Bastila (she carries the JKR event) + Jolee (arena material)
- get JKR
- gear up JKR, GMY, GK and put zetas on JKR (3x), GMY (unique) and Jolee
- mod JKR for max speed, GMY for offense (high special damage) and Jolee for health + speed
- ???
- profit
If you want to have a go at it anyway, you definitely want Jedi Revan - he won't be top arena material anymore by the time you get him (he really isn't even now, unless you have truly ludicrous mods), but he's the best Jedi leader by far and can plow through basically anything except Darth Revan.
Darth Revan is great also, but is really a PVP character - his performance in raids is OK, but nothing earth shattering. He also needs Malak on his team to really shine, and Malak is an absolute bear to get and star up. So you don't need to rush for Sith Empire since they almost certainly won't be top arena material anymore by the time you get them.
You'll want to get a Bounty Hunter team going as well - they've gotten much better since you played last, and are used to unlock Chewbacca. Their ships, in turn, are needed for the Millennium Falcon. Ewoks also now unlock C3P0, who supercharges Rebel teams.
Just those unlocks are enough to keep you busy for the next 6 months, by which time you should have a handle on what's what.
Yes, from a catching up with the game standpoint.
However, if you wish to keep up with competition, definitely go the starting over route.
edit, u have quite a bit of stuff already i see, best advice was to find another game, but if going to play this 1 you really need to start farming jkr asap, and spend crystals doing it. once to get him everything will get easier, but it's going to take a long time
This makes no sense. They will spend the next 2 months trying to get to level 85. Aside from getting to level 85 you would have to grind out Phoenix to get Thrawn, grind out all the characters needed for CLS, jedi for GMY all of which you already have done. How is that better?
If you come in now as is start grinding kotor characters for JKR with Thrawn you will already be arena relevant and sith raid relevant.
Just my two cents though.
You have a great many characters that still are very valuable, but you won’t be too 50 in Arena anymore.
I notice you have a zeta Barriss. Great news is that GMY(L), zBarriss, Gen Kenobi, Ahsoka, and Jedi Knight Anakin are a great B team, since they all (except Barriss) got nice reworks. Work on getting Jedi Bastilla, since she’s the best Jedi leader other than Revan.
There is going to be a lot of clone wars content soon, and as weird as it sounds, work on the clones. Better safe than sorry and miss a potentially new legendary unlock
It got so bad for me that I asked for a perma ban from the game on here. Somehow my topic was deleted
It’s better if they want to compete because the people in their shard from 1.5 years ago are way ahead of them. If they created a new account, they would be at a level playing field with everyone else.
Same account = same shard= many are way ahead.
Just a thought...maybe it's way off base
no no no, you have it wrong, it's collect underpants, ???, profit. See:
Except the people who whaled out in the new shard. Defeating the purpose...
That’s an uncertain factor, and no matter how many people “whale out” in the new shard, the OP is guaranteed to be behind a significant amount of people in their current one. It’s take a risk to compete or don’t at all at this point.
I would also recommend keeping the account you have and just start being laser focused on your next choices. JKR would be my next recommendation, but it’s obviously up to you what you do next
Unlocked the CLS classic team
6* C3PO.
Working on KOTOR now.
Still don't have RJT and Thrawn. Almost at 5* Phoenix though.
It sucks.
I will never catch up.
The game sucks that way
i would honestly stay away and continue being a player that quit. If you spent before on this game at all for a meta... times that by like 5. If you spent like $500.... get ready to spend $2,500.
Top off your current teams, get in a Guild and prepare for the next meta when it drops. Literally next meta might be seperatists or GR or Clones. Can start farming X character that will be next meta get it second time, and be caught up.
We have a guy with 1.5M GP that has DR. You can get him with an old or new account if you focus and that wont change with whatever the next meta is.
Again, starting over is just silly.
May have already been said but the next TBattle is going to Separatists and then GRepublic.
Your Arena team is GR
Revan and DR won’t be undisputed top forever and if I was you I’d gamble and go for GR and Separatists.
I’d work on 4 Areas:
1) Fleet (Linking to BHs and Separatists)
- The 3 Geos - ships and pilots (SunFac and Spy especially)
- Finish off Scimitar since you have a highly developed Maul. Not the best ship but it meshes well with the Geos.
- Slave 1 and Boba - Still a useful Reinforcement, plus you need all 4 BHs eventually.
2) BHsBounty Hunters are used in so many areas now - Events (Rebel Roundup, Galactic Bounty), Chewie Legendary, Their ships unlock Hans MFalc, needed in DSTB, useful in HSTR.
The leanest approach is to farm the 4 pilots and their ships:
3) Separatists
4) GRepublic
What nonsense - I started 18 months ago (2.6m GP. Arena Top 20 daily, Fleet Top 3 daily). I’ve spent £40 to £50 max over 18 months. If you plan well, are in a good fully active guild and accept getting Legendary characters 2nd time round (never panic) then you don’t need to spend like this!
This is a good plan. Play casually, have a lot of fun. Enjoy!
Wait , did you quit and come back after a long stretch?
That’s not the point — there’s zero reason to spend £100s catching up!
Last ran 60 days ago. 90 days is a decent guess so could be around a month from now, but it's just speculation until it actually hits.
