A small FAQ for beginners.
It reflects the position of the majority of top players
If there is "don't farm" it doesn't mean that a char is bad. It only means that considering lack of resources it's better to farm other chars for beginners.
check www.swgoh.gg for more information about chars

!!!The chars inside the fractions are ranked from top ones to useless ones!!!

Rebels – very strong

* Commander Luke Skywalker - farm. Very strong at arena as a leader of rebels, in raids (best for rancor), GW and Territory battles (TB). Crit damage and speed so that to heal himself more often and hit hard
* Wedge Antilles - farm, pilot,, a great synergy with Biggs, strong AOE, a lot of speed (see unique ability) and good leader. Can be used everywhere. Needs crit damage, speed and crit chance because his main function is to produce enormous damage
* Biggs Darklighter - farm, pilot, but only with Wedge, good against those who crit. Very strong 2nd skill. Also has much speed from Wedge's unique ability. Needs speed and crit damage so that to use his 2nd skill more often and hit hard
* Chirrut Imwe - farm. Has a great synergy with Baze. Is cool in p2 or p4 of AAT with rebels and at arena. Very strong. Need speed, crit damage and hp so that to reduce cooldowns of 2nd (dispel) and 3rd (high damage) skills quickly. And health since he is squishy

* Stormtrooper Han - farm, one of the most powerful tanks. Needs speed, potency and tenacity (in descending order, so that to go first granting allies 30% TM, be able to reduce TM (skill «Bluff») and prevent himself from being shocked or becoming buff immune since in this case he is useless

His tenacity down depends only on crit and not on potency. Also cool in raids. Needs crit damage, speed, crit chance so that to hit very hard and very often. He doesn’t need additional potency since his basic one is more than 50% that is ok. Under Palpatine leader it is even more than enough

  • Thanks for that, Zeus23, good guides for beginners about who to farm are sorely missing. :)
    Actually, good guides for beginners in general. :|
    It's easy to find advice about different aspects of the games, characters reviews etc etc but they often apply to players who already have quite a few 7* characters at level 80, with their abilities maxed-out etc etc

    - As a beginner, you should aim at having a good teams of 5 Scoundrels (credits + level droids events), 5 Jedi (Yoda), 5 Rebels (Lots of events, Palpatine) as soon as you can. Some toons are both Rebel and Scoundrel (Han's, Lando), so really useful. Droids also appear somewhat frequently in Events.
    There's no way a beginner should be concerned with getting Yoda—he's a third-rate character who sucks on defence and who requires the extremely inefficient farming of fourth-rate Jedi in order to acquire.

    Agreed, but very iconic he is.
    Also, the Yoda event keeps coming back regularly now, there's no particular hurry even if you want him. He's a decent toon and fun to play (but indeed doesn't do well on an Arena team because AI can't play him).

    Real beginners should probably focus on getting 5 Scoundrels and enough attackers / support / tanks to regularly clear the challenges at the highest available tier. And Rebels, although that might be just today's trendy faction. But don't stick too long with the guys you receive at the start (Talia, Jedi Consular, Clone Sarge, Snowtrooper,...): they're all quite useless once you start to get an actual choice.

  • Hoth Soldier - Do not farm ?? I have him 7* and full gear and he is a beast for me... he weakens the opponent with basic - His taunt gives him counter attack and health heal (in my rebel team with wedge lead he heals on crit hit as well) i would argue with wedge he is one of the better tanks on the game. but interested in peoples thoughts :smile:

    Hoth Soldier - Do not farm ?? I have him 7* and full gear and he is a beast for me... he weakens the opponent with basic - His taunt gives him counter attack and health heal (in my rebel team with wedge lead he heals on crit hit as well) i would argue with wedge he is one of the better tanks on the game. but interested in peoples thoughts :smile:

    Very difficult to farm shards from hard battles for beginners, because they need lots of gears and don't have much time
  • MANY THANKS for this guide.
    I'm new (Lv 47, about two weeks playing) and I found it very very useful.
    (there are too many character on this game)

    But I have a question:

    When should I have to stop farming one character?, (from the same location)
    I mean, once I have one char (at minimum stars), should I start with another? or I should raise this char around 5-6 stars before getting another? or should I totally max him?


    And on each location, which is the best order? (I think that only with the 3 first will be enough. It takes ages to farm, so I think we can have a good idea of the game once we have the 3 first),

    may be... (please correct it)
    Cantina shipment - Qui-Gon Jinn --> Old Daka --> Jawa Scavenger

    Galactic War shipment - Luminara (low levels) --> Dathcha --> Ig 86...

    Arena shipment - St Han --> princess Leia --> Ig 88

    Cantina battles - Lando --> Geonosian soldier --> Royal guard,


    trying to make a good starter team...

    You should look at your opponents. On low levels there is no need in many 7 star chars. So you d better make them like 4-6, collect some others, so upgrade them evenly.

    Though i advice you to make 1 7 star char asap and to enter a t7 guild. They will only need 600/600 from you and you will receive good rewards and han solo shards. They will also be helping you since they are more experienced

    The order is determined by the order of opening battles and your preferences. I didn't write it so that not to make it very controversial and not to raise freedom of choice issues:)
  • Many thanks for your coments.
    I understand your point of view.

    - several useful additions on strong chars
  • Dengar needs potency. His tenacity down ability triggers on critical, but it can be resisted - and often will.
