I am a level 72 player. I play daily but not endlessly. I have spent 95 dollars, and contrary to what many say about moderate spenders, it has helped me a lot. I just got Barriss Offee today. Im running
QGJ 6* Leader
Tier 7 Gear, level 69
Luminara 7*
Tier 8 Gear, level 71
Sidious 6*
Tier 7 Gear, level 69
Yoda 6*
Tier 7 Gear, level 66
Then I have all these characters that I switch out for my 5th spot...
Eeth Koth 6*
Tier 7, level 64
Jedi Consular 6*
Tier 8, level 68
Talia 5*
Tier 8, level 70
Fives 5*
Tier 8, level 68
Dooku 5*
Tier 7, level 66
My Barriss could soon be an addition to this, although she is only 4*, gear 5 right now, and like level 40. She seems really good, as when my EK and JC were dead in galactic war, I subbed her and she did really good. I am currently trying to level up
Ahsoka
Barriss
Poe Dameron
IG88
What I need help with is who to spend my GW currency on? I have Lumi maxed. Poggle at 4* dont love him but hes not terrible. NS Initiate at 4* (3* was circumstance and chromium figured might as well do 4*) and shes not half bad. What do I do?
Also, my arena ranking is hovering 6-700. I would like to be top 50. Thanks!

Strongly recommend being patient for a few days. Combat is going to change dramatically this week and you may want to completely change who you develop for your team.
Also, how should I do my arena thing? I can't manage to work my way up.
1. Luminara- essential healer for the game
2. Phasma- Leadership skill works with almost any team and is great for Arena if you can't build good synergy yet.
3. IG86- Can star up quickly and deals some of the most damage in the game
4. Poggle- A great support character and once you have IG86 can may start building a droid team. Also Poggle and IG86 are the only two characters in GW shipments that have team synergy.
At this point players are more to start building synergies or help with other areas of the game.
5. Res Pilot- Another high damage player that works well with evasion meta right now
6. Teboo- This is more for tank challenge. I find him as leader with his TM reduction allows me to cost through it. Also find him helpful in GW to take out problem characters with high speed.
7. Nightsister Initiate- I used to have her last but she is extremely tough and who I am farming now. I think after the update she could see a boost
7 1/2- I have thought about framing Grevous because everyone else not as excited about. Also this allows for me to get more Vader shards in shipments.
9. Biggs- I hope that ship synergies will be relevant at some point and this will help
10. Datcha- In case droid teams become meta again will help to have a counter
11. Magma trooper- Could be higher has some of the highest health it is just going to take extra long to get an Empire team max due to Vader will hold off.
12. Tusken raider- until I am able to farm 5 tusken characters don't see a point in farming him. Luke is much better and can be paired with Biggs, Akbar, Hoth Soldier and Scout.
This is just my order I know others will be different. I review it after every update and when I get a guy to 7* to adjust. I would say the first 4 right now are highest priority for everyone. After that It just depends on who else you are farming in catina, light, and darkside to build a team.
To go up in Arena you need to max out players. If you are in the 6-700's this will give you the biggest boost. I would think almost any maxed out 5 would help you move up. After that you need to choose to either chase the meta or anticipate the meta. Either works as long as you have a team that works well together.
P.S. I have spent about $200 and I am in the top 20 almost daily and have been #1 a few times in my ladder.
Phasma (L)
Old Daka (bonus attacks = bonus stuns)
Luminari
Geo (more bonus)
Stormtrooper Han
I use phasma's speed down the first round, then han taunts, then I use victory March second round.
Most of the time daka will have had 4 attacks to there teams 2 attacks even with a QGJ lead and has landed a couple of stuns. Time luminaris heal right and it's game over.
For Gwar I use Barriss lead to counter all the sids, plus the extra health is key. I'll usually alternate SHan and Phasma but when Phasma is in I can handle the teams easily because of the extra turn meter.
Waiting and hoarding tokens might sound like a wise decision but it's hard to play catch up when it comes to spending GW tokens. Unless you wake up in the middle of the night for the 4th buy, they replenish with GW completion
Good post
