It's an alt account/new shard, the max level guy is like 50.

That loving chaze/wiggs/lando is gonna higher in a day or two, but the top 10 are just now getting into protection, so it might take him a while longer.

Why do we even get the training droid event? After all this time, do they still not understand that we don't need them? I mean, I still run it, because who knows, maybe someday we'll all get 100 million credits, and it takes me like 1 minute to run while I type this up...

Also, just cause I was curious, I have enough droids to level 17 heroes from 1-85, which is, in fact, 100 million credits.

This is a reminder that QGJ doesn't do damage other than a single suicide character in the first 24 hours of the Rancor raid. This is to make sure everyone gets at least a participatory reward.

I didn't understand the Wiggs/Chaze appeal until I managed to get Wedge and get him caught up to the rest of my people.

Now with the Biggs Assist and making GBS threads criticals everywhere I can finally crack the stupid loving Nihilus/Dooku/Vader/Trooper/Sidious teams that are apparently the entire top 50 on my shard.

Dooku is much less threatening when I get a nuclear bomb every few turns, especially when it's Boba assisting Biggs and Wedge so I hit for 20,000+ and one shot dooku before he can stun/block/double counter my entire team to death solo.

No worries. P2 is separated because in general the phases after p1 go pretty quickly.

I'm relatively new but I've seen them call you out a few Rancors in a row in guild chat, by name, for doing the same thing after every rancor comes with an announcement that nobody is to damage it the first 24 hours.

They said you can re-apply and it was mostly to get your attention because you had apparently been ignoring guild chat and the thread for weeks now.

How do you get it to where guild chat doesn't pop up? I find it annoying that messages stay up until I read them but you have to have seen "MORALE HAZARD" callouts the instant you do damage the past couple times.

Dave does a really good job of putting exactly what time a raid will be kicked off or when damage starts in the MOTD. For example, "Rancor damage starts 8pm pacific 3/20".

For some reason only the guild leader is able to change the MOTD :v: People still gently caress up sometimes but it definitely helps.

I was starting to save up arena and cantina currency, but then I decided I should finally get FOO and Savage sharded up -- FOO is really good in Rancor (and maybe AAT P1 with Teebo), while SO is really good with Zaul. I don't think Cassian should be a really high priority, he does a couple things alright, but he is a bit lacking in both raids and PVP. I think there's an AAT P1 comp that uses Jyn + Cassian, but I don't really remember what it is.
Chirrut and Baze should be your highest priorities from this latest batch. After that, probably Jyn and Bistan. I know I've been beating the Chaze drum for awhile, but we've yet to see anything push them out of the meta. I might actually start putting crystals into Baze again because 1 shard per day is super slow. Start gearing them asap -- they do work at 3* G10.

I did run out a couple times months ago. I think it was mostly because I got 10 mil twice from the credit heist, and already had stuff starred up, but not leveled. I am nowhere close to running out now though, most of the chars I care about are 85. When they raise the level cap, if they give us a new source of credits I guess people might run out again, but I doubt it.

Priority Heroes (Roughly in order):
LS/DS Hard mode: Jedi Knight Anakin, Royal Guard, Shoretrooper, Baze.
Cantina battles: Lando, Wedge, Tie Fighter Pilot, Jedi Knight Anakin, Royal Guard, Geonosian Soldier, Old Ben, Chief Chirpa
Cantina credits: Boba, QGJ, Bistan, Ahsoka Fives, Hoth Rebel Scout, FOO
Arena credits: Stormtrooper Han, IG-88, Admiral Ackbar, Leia
Galactic War credits: Lumi, Teebo, Biggs, Phasma, IG-86
Guild Credits: Rex, Darth Maul, Sun Fac, Jawa Engineer, Jyn, Clones
Fleet shipments*: Chirrut, Rex, Darth Maul, Sun Fac, Wedge
Ships from GW credits: FOTP, TFP, Biggs, Fives, JC, GS, SF...basically anything but GSpy is decent
Ships from Fleet Shipments: Slave 1 and Scimitar. If you're still working on unlocking the Zeta challenge, FOTP, TFP, Fives, Biggs are all worth focusing on.

Scoundrels for Credit Heist (THIS IS SUPER IMPORTANT): STH (Arena), IG-88 (Arena), Lando (Cantina), Boba Fett (Hard, Cantina Tokens), 1 more of whatever crap you feel like farming. You really just need a couple of those first ones at high power to get through it, and STH and Lando double as rebels, so worth it.
Easiest Jedi for Yoda event: Lumi (GW), JC (Cantina Battles/Hard), Eeth Koth (Arena), QGJ (Cantina), Barriss (Cantina Battles, Hard)
Best Rebels for Palp event: AA (Arena), STH (Arena), Lando (Cantina), Wedge (Cantina), Biggs (GW). Alternates: HRScout (Cantina Credits), Leia (Arena).

*I would recommend farming ships with fleet shipments (see the next post down for more info about ships) so that you can unlock the zeta challenge

Meta Arena Squads
New section here, and I'll try to update it every month or so (if you are reading this and think it's out of date, call me out in chat or PM me). Anyways, here goes. I'm separating heroes into Tier lists so you can get a sense of priority as well. Tier 1 means OP. You can run these heroes at basically any star level and they will improve your team comp (exception: Chirrut. He needs Baze, but Baze doesn't need Chirrut). Please note that the lower their star level, the more gear you'll need to compensate for low health. Tier 2 means that unless a team is only T1 heroes, you'll find these guys in the whaliest of team comps. These guys are generally really good on their own or with others. Tier 3 means you'll find these guys sprinkled into other team comps. QGJ is a perfect example -- he's a solid hero in virtually every aspect of this game, and is great at debuffing. You will still see him in top team comps, but you might see him once in the top 10 of your arena, as compared to Wiggs, who are probably in at least half of your top 10. Tier ? means no one really knows yet. For example, Bistan and Cassian are currently in there. They could be really good, but I don't know anyone that's running them yet.

Tier 1: Baze, Chirrut, General Kenobi, Darth Nihilus, Darth Maul
Tier 2: EP, TFP, Wiggs, RG, JKA, Vader, STH, K2, Barriss (with Zeta), Rex, Sun Fac, Aayla, B2, Sith Trooper, Sith Assassin, Shoretrooper
Tier 3: QGJ, AA, Lando, K2, Han Solo, Fives, Old Ben, Clones, Droids, JE, Ahsoka, Rey, Daka, EE, Yoda, Jyn
Tier ?: (e.g. newer heroes): Phoenix Squad

Top Meta Squads:
Zaul, DN, SA, SO, SiT
Zaul, DN, Chaze, GK
Zaul, DN, 3 Sith
Wiggs (L), Chaze, +1
EP (L), TFP, +3
Rex (L), +4
GK (L), B2, Aayla, Barriss, Fives
GK (L) Aayla, Fives, Chaze

With the recent changes I'm curious what the pros think I should do in the future.

I whale'd it up a little to boost my level up quickly and get a baby Chaze going but have since stopped once I hit the longer stretches where money required becomes exponentially more for less gains.

https://swgoh.gg/u/shabadadeepoo/collection/

Regular Energy - Currently gearing out Wiggs/Chaze/Lando and my main focus characters rather than grinding shards. I do the Royal Guard hardmode for my daily activity though.
Cantina Energy - I'm currently pushing straight for 7* Wedge then moving to the mod farming everyone detailed
Cantina Credits - I haven't decided between QGJ or Fives. I have more of a Jedi team going than a Clone Team right now and need to know which direction to proceed. I did waste some credits on getting Ashoka since I needed her ship starred up for ship arena.
Guild Credits - I got most of Jawa Engineer before switching to Rex then Darth Maul. I've got Rex at 60/80, JE at 60/80 and Maul is lagging behind but what I'm focusing on right now for his dark side ship.
Squad Arena Store - I pushed Ackbar before I joined the guild and can 5* him, but after getting enough shards to 7* STH I don't know if I should be pushing Leia or IG-88, or hell Savage and Sidious since I'm pushing Maul and already have Sidious at 4 stars.
Galactic War- After getting Lumi and Biggs to 7* I've been completely focusing on Dark Side ships or grabbing up Biggs X-Wing blueprints anytime I see them as he is a ridiculous tank keeping me in the top 10-15 on my shard in ships
Fleet Store - I've been grabbing any Vader/Scimitar/Slave 1 shards that appear but spending the rest on the occasional Wedge shards or Sun Fac's ship. I'll be grabbing Chirrut now that he appears there and I won't have to pay like $200 to 7* him.

Major adjustments in strategy i should make or anything?
