So there's three pieces that make this work;

Poe's special taunts, removes 25% TM from all enemies, and has a 65% chance to expose all enemies.

Finn's leader Zeta gives all Resistance Allies +35% TM and reduces all their CD's by one, every time an expose gets popped.

R2's AoE is an AoE. And he's Resistance.

So if Poe puts up 3 or more exposes (and Finn and RT can help out here), then R2 AoE's, and everyone gets 100%+ TM and has their cooldowns reduced; Poe's taunt is now off CD and he's up again to put up more exposes, R2's AoE CD is effectively zero. Rinse and repeat.

The main thing that R2 brings that Resistance didn't have is an effectively zero CD AoE, and a huge potency buff for Poe and Finn and Trooper to get more exposed up. Throw in something like Sidious to turbocharge the cycle out of the gate and it gets nasty.

Asked in chat, also posting here:

Would we like to switch up the haat a little? start at 8 am, p2+ starts at 8pm? it'll probably end up being slower though.

If nobody feels strongly one way or the other, we'll probably continue with the status quo.

While 8PM is 4AM for me, I don't see the harm with letting it rotate, if this'd be a better time for some US people. Right now 8AM is really good for me because it's 4PM - but I'm cool with the idea of a rotation so it's really good for everybody. 0 Dam is still going to be GK shards if I miss it entirely, and I can still contribute since I doubt it'll be done super quick.

Spend them on 2x 50c energy refreshes, 2x 100c cantina energy refreshes, and 50c arena refreshes (to get a fresh set of 5 attempts, not decrease cooldowns) until you stop climbing in arena rank

My timezone is such that I either miss the start or the end depending on am or pm start, so it doesn't really matter much to me.

On a related note, I'm going to be moving to the other side of the world in a few weeks, has anyone had experience with asking CG to change their account timezone so that I can keep my arena payout at a time that I'm actually conscious?

True, can give that a shot. Didn't think about that. Otherwise not so bad for fresh start, just wouldn't be contributing much to the guild.

Edit: decided not worth it, since I won't have that device on me and play on the go a lot.

Read the OP, for real. It's not outdated.

7*ing those important toons absolutely should be your goal. Amassing an undergeared and unstarred stable isn't going to get you anywhere.

Focus your rebel/scoundrel squad first.

Lando from Cantina Battles
Boba Fett from Cantina Currency
Stormtrooper Han from Arena
Luminara to 5* from GW (She's great for GW, and not much else.)
Followed by Biggs from GW

Start your Hard Mode fights for lumi (to 5*) boba fett, biggs, RG, and Dooku is my suggestion.

When you can start farming Wedge from Cantina Battles, start farming him so you have a 5-rebel squad

Wedge/Biggs/Lando/Stormtrooper Han/Akbar - This squad at 7* will allow you to unlock Emperor Palpatine.

Scoundrels are also important:

Lando, Boba Fett, Stormtrooper Han, IG-88 +1 will allow you to farm the credit/droid heists that come about usually once/week. These heists are CRUCIAL for leveling your toons.

If one decided to spend the money for the Shoretrooper pack, how would that change your advice? Not much such STH is so important for both rebels (for EP) and Scoundrels for credit heist?

I absolutely recommend purchasing the shoretrooper pack if someone is going to spend some money. He's only going to be good for Arena, and only after you gear him to GXish, but definitely a worthwhile addition.

It doesn't affect the trajectory of the starting characters at all.

Generally, though, I only recommend spending money on the 21 day crystal refresh. It's the best dollars/crystals in the game (even factoring in the May 4th sale). But Shore is loving nuts and you can't unluck him until 9B (which I still haven't even 3*ed) and he's loving GREAT in arena.

One thing about the OP: You can 7* Lando long before you can start working on Wedge in Cantina (requires level 69 but you can finish Lando way before that). What would you all say to do in that situation? Work on Biggs so you're that much closer to Wiggs when Wedge is available or just skip to TFP?

Either one works. Finn, Aayla Secura, or Kylo Ren are also good choices that you can put on pause when Wedge becomes availiable. You'll be thankful for the head start when you double back.
