By this I mean which tables I should sim. I usually recharge Cantina energy once per day which makes for a total of 30 sims per day. I just got Talia to 5*, an upgrade I felt she really needed as my only dark side healer and my tertiary healer for GW (behind Barriss and Luminara). Not sure where to go next. Possible options:
1. Keep going with Talia to 7*. She's not a primary healer though, so this would be mostly for dark side battles and backup in GW.
2. Chewie. Unexciting but useful character. I do use him (currently 4*) but he's no longer in my PvP starting five, so not sure.
3. Consular. I have him currently at 3* and want to get him at least to 4*, beyond that again not sure.
4. Luke Skywalker. I've seen him hit hard but just can't see him making my starting five, especially with Boba Fett about to unlock.
All of Talia, Chewie and Consular can also have their shards obtained through regular missions, but increasingly I am reserving that energy to farm equipment. Especially now that I am into the "you need 20 bits and pieces for each item" stage. So where I go with Cantina energy from here is pretty important.
Between Talia and Consular, Talia seems a better choice because of her special dark side role, even if she is annoying as a healer. Consular also costs 10 energy per try rather than 8. Chewie I am really torn on. I love using him sometimes, but I can't see myself using him long-term.
Is it possible that either Talia or Consular at 7* would outshine Barriss at 4*? I can't see getting Barriss to 5* any time soon.
Thoughts?
Quit 7/14/16. Best of luck to all of you.

Calling @Slushie !
I use Chewie too, but at 4* he seems as resilient a tank as I need him to be at my current opposition level. Not sure additional stars for him will be more useful than getting the other characters stronger. I suspect I'll need to replace him anyway with someone more offensive when I outgrow his current strength.
As for my long-term plan.. who knows? The game is brand new and they are going to keep releasing characters that will make our current ones useless. To be honest I am inclined to just keep leveling Talia up because I feel like at some point having several 5* characters will not be as useful as one or two 7*. And I don't plan to farm Old Daka any time soon.
I'm with this guy. If you have a couple of strong faction players (Ventress/Talia for me at the moment), maybe you build a full Nightsister team. Maybe you're building an anti-Jedi team and focus on Sidious/IG 88/IG 86 (teams well w/ sidious's increased crit%).
Because we're still on the first run of main characters, it might be good to just focus on one or two characters that can team well with multiple factions (sidious, boba fett) and add them as crown jewels to your faction teams whenever you decide what faction to roll with.

I am just going to stick with Talia for now I think.
At 4* he actually has quite a bit of health
I've mainly focused on Consular with Squad Cantina and have him at 5* since he's in my main team along with Lumi as the 2 main healers.
I haven't really put much effort into Talia even though she's currently the only healer on DS because my DS roster is so strong I can clear most campaign missions without requiring a healer (or I can borrow an Old Daka ally) but if you feel she's a strong option for you then go for it.
I view Talia as a solid damage dealer that can heal in a pinch but I wouldn't consider a main healer due to the fact that if she gets targeted first and is low on HP her heal doesn't do much to help herself.
Consular is a solid healer that does decent damage for me so I'm happy to keep working on him. Plus a heal every 2-3 turns has saved me more than I care to remember in Arena or GW.
Jawa is pretty solid too if you're using with Sidious or any debuff team set up.
Then again I have Barriss and I don't think you do.
I heard something about Consular getting faster heal cooldowns, it's not on SWGOHCantina yet, can anyone tell me what levels he gets what? Thanks.
Guild: Fear The Boot
I have Barriss. I just don't use her because I think Lumi+Consular is better.
I think Consular heal -1 cooldown is skill level 3 or 4 I can't remember now. Although I've read a few reports that permanent -1 cooldown upgrades are bugged and instead does +1 so maybe hold off a bit on that for now.
But his basic attack has 25% to reduce all cooldowns by 1 at level 3. (this one isn't bugged)
The drop rate relative to energy is also exasperating. I just tried 8 times on Consular in Cantina and got 1 shard. That's 16 hours of energy recharge. This needs to change.
Well yeah that is good luck. I've also gotten streaks of bad luck. It's random. Averaging 8 shards per day isn't bad, as we were talking about in the other thread on the same topic.
While I don't see him much on my server (in the top 10), he has served me well. Plus the rest of my team minus Lum is dark side, so having 2 all-star light sides helps me progress through the campaign.
Is this really true? Anyone know?
