Think I might be stuck...
Been playing for a few months now. I am focusing on Phoenix squad but I think I may be stuck.
Here's a link to my roster. https://swgoh.gg/p/511976973/characters/
I can't seem to get anyone past gear level 8 and even with Hera, Zeb and Kanan @ 7 stars, Ezra and Chopper are 6 I can't complete the Galactic War anymore. I get to the last battle and get wrecked. I hover around 900 ranking in arena.
I thought by switching my priorities to an Empire team I could do better but no dice. Just not sure where to go from here or maybe I don't know exactly how to play with my current roster? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

And finally, MODS!!! Almost all your mods are terrible. Come on, read some of the online guides, they're amazing. With good mods you can easily double the value of your squad.
The only thing I disagree with in this is the gear requirements for the padme lineup. You only need a gear 11 Nute gunray seperatist team to get padme.I actually used a gear 10 Nute as the leader and everyone else as a gear 11. I would say Nute Gunray, Dooku, Assaj, Magna Guard, and either Grevious, or Geonosian Spy. Nute is a beasttttt
I don't mind spending a few dollars here and there but the $100 hyper drive bundle seems ridiculous to me.
I wouldn't mind trying a decent guild to see how much faster I could progress because at this point I don't see how to move forward no matter how much I play without paying.
Use bastilla lead with ezra/yoda/anakin/ahsoka or swap one with kanan. I just started another account and finish galactic war daily. And arena top 500. ships in the top 50.
I use geos to get padme cos i can use their 3 ships as well.
This is my current account

And i just started another one still in level 80
Regarding your roster:
If you take Ezra and Chopper to 7* you will be able to also take EP and Thrawn to 7*. Those two along with Vader, Tarkin and a 5th empire character will help you unlock R2D2. Add Leia, Old Ben, ST Han and Farmboy Luke yo unlock CLS - your first major mile stone. You will need them all at 7*.
I see you're farming jedi for GM Yoda as well. Luminara is not really worth it. You will need Old Ben, Bastilla Shan and Jolee at some point any way, so farming those 3 (along with Ezra and Kanan) you have the 5 jedi required for GM Yoda. Ahsoka and JKA are great too. JC might be OK still, since he pilots a shop which does well midgame.
Biggs' ship is great. For your ships a milestone is to have 5 non-capital dark side shops at minimum 4* and 8 non-capital shops of any alignment at 5* to gain access to the zeta ability material challenge. Another milestone is farming rebel shops to unlock the Chimaera, and bountyhunters shops to unlock Han's Falcon.
You will need a team of scoundrels for the credit heists which will reward credits that help build your roster. ST Han and the BH pilots (especially Boba Fett) are great choices.
Took Ezra to 7* today, 50 more shards to get chopper there. I've been using Dooku as the 5th empire character. Should I switch him out for someone else?
I can't do anything with my roster of ships. Most of the time I can't even win in fleet arena.
I started farming Old Ben and I'll start on Bastilla asap.
Thanks again guys. I figured there had to be a better way to play. I finally hit the 50 milestone in GW today, so that's one good thing. lol
I'm a network engineer by trade and it took me less time to learn how to setup and configure VPN's and firewalls. ugh....
Arena top 500, ships 50?! You got to be kidding! This is a shard after the launch of the hyperdrive bundle! to achieve ship top 50 it's impossible because top 70 are all hyperdrives. Proved in three different accounts. It is possible only if you start focusing on ships starting from level 20
For primary speed mods, the only place you can get them are the arrows. for others aim for speed substats.
For guilds, go find one in this forum. Most of them are good.
For 5th empire character, go for TFP if you aim at R2 and CLS. Otherwise Dooku's fine.
For ships Chimera lead; Ghost, Vader, Biggs starting; Phantom, TIE Silencer, Ahsoka reinforce is solid and tested in both 2019 and 2020 accounts. Anakin's great as well.
If you're going for Old Ben and Bastila, try out this arena team: Bastila Lead, Old Ben, Ezra, Thrawn, Palpatine. Yoda's a more than ideal substitute for Palp or Old Ben. It holds the record of defeating zNihilus lead sith that had 63% more power. I had the speed advantage though.
Some guilds may have a set of rules which often include participating in guild events, and contributing with up to 600 tickets daily - but it varies from guild to guild.
Dooku's not Empire. He's Sith and Separatist. Although he has some synergies with EP and Vader through his Sith tag and shocks he won't be available for unlocking R2D2.
Not necessarily. My ship shard has 16 hyperdrives in the top 50. (I started in February). I was getting top 50 easily ftp. Same with top 500 in arena. Top of arena is impossible though. I have a kraken with both GLs in my arena, the rest of the top 50 is reliced revans, padmes, geos, etc.
I'm no longer ftp, but 500/50 is attainable ftp
@Desertfox1024 arena not in top 500 currently still got 4 hrs to get to top 500. Im start attacking just half an hour b4.
I also want to note that Jedi Bastila (not Sith) is amazing in Galactic War because her protection up refreshes between every battle. Once I got her as my leader I never struggled with Galactic War again.
Oh my I never thought about that. Going to try it out in my late March account right now.
I just tested it out in 36 battles. It mainly depends on what type of team you're using. The main problem is that when you send in the trash toons to waste their special, you're also giving them pre-loaded TM. This way you lose you enormous speed advantage, which is always crucial in Galactic war.
So if you're using a power team, which means a team that just hits and hits and hits, feel free, because ruining their specials make your life way easier.
But if you're running a control team, (i.e. TM oriented, relies on debuffs), never, ever to this. Losing your pre-loaded TM advantage means you can't stun all or most of them (in the case of Dooku) before they start killing you. Don't forget that the last node's brutal and your pre-loaded TM is the only reason Galactic war is even playable.
You don't even have to have a full squad, just Brood Alpha (L), Spy, Soldier + 1 more (I would go with Sun Fac b/c he has a ship).
The last toon can be Poggle, if you have him, but can also be someone who uses stealth and has decent self-heal (even just high HealthSteal). NightSister Acolyte and Princess Leia and Dooku are all fine choices.
Remember that whatever Turn Meter you have at the end of one battle you get to start with in the next battle that character fights in, even if it's not actually the next battle. So you should give Turn Meter to a few backup squads on Nodes 1-3, where it's easy and they won't lose much (if any) health or protection. That way when you hit the limit of what your Phoenix squad (or your Geos, later) can do, you have toons with pre-loaded turn meter to help.
BroodAlpha Geos are also excellent for other things, like GAC. They're not spectacular for Arena, but they're a lot better than Phoenix, even backed up by Dooku instead of a 5th Geonosian.
Background on me: I played the game in the first year but quit until several months ago. A lot of the synergy teams we have today didn't exist back then.
But when you don't have these, every single HP is precious. I prefer heavy control teams with lots of stuns and ability blocks and fears and TM reduction, and attempt to get out of a battle by keeping the enemy controlled and suffering 0 to 2 basic hits (heavy control teams can easily take care of the special abitilies with ability block and cooldown increase). In this case any enemy that even takes a turn can ruin everything. I don't want even basics hitting me; the gear disadvantage is often too large and even basics deal considerable damage.
I've ran into Ahsoka and the clones. They whip me bad.
