Based on this what should I prioritize? I'm pretty close to having a reasonable scoundrel team for credit heist and I've started working on phoenix. is the OP up to date, and does my random stuff I have farmed change that at all?

Standard advice is to start a new account. You are hopelessly behind your arena shard and arena is the most reliable way to get crystals. Judging by your collection you'll be back where you were and in a MUCH better position in your arena within a month.

After that, check my shorthand newbie guide in the OP.

The other things I said are more germane but that sounds vaguely right, maybe a bit longer. There's a really solid starting strat for new players that involves focusing on phoenix to catapult you into early arena viability and unlocks for several valuable toons. I think it outweighs the relatively modest progress you've made on that account.

If you dont wanna restart, the advice is the same: get yout scoundrels up, then focus phoenix.

The only way I’d tell someone returning with a v old account to keep it is if they happen to have an account old enough to where they have New Hope Rebels sitting at 7* with CLS coming back next week.

First trip out with zJrey(L)g12 bb8(g9) zThrawng12 zzzCLSg12 zzR2g12 to go for the mystical HAAT half solo on p3/4. Started at beginning of p3 and had no issues pushing through but since my BB8 is undergeared and not zeta i was lacking dmg and had to keep shifting r2 stealth to leave CLS open to tank shots in order to not get bb8 killed. p3 in the bag and moving into p4 i noticed i didnt have enough of either SPEED or DMG to fully solo p4 which is supposed to be the easy phase for this team so I was wondering if anyone else is even bothering to try this setup and if so what should the mods look like? MY CLS and Thrawn and R2 are pretty heavily modded and I am working on jrey/bb8. Ended up doing roughly 18.5mil full p3 and 60% of p4.

R2 is your weak link.

Get BB8 up to the point where he can take a goddamn hit and then get Resistance Trooper in there.

Alternately, keep R2 and drop Thrawn. They fill redundant roles.

That list is super out of date.


CLS running solo can do about 500k-2m (gear/mods/RNG) in P1 and retreat and do it again and again. I also use in in P4 with Wiggs, Leia, and Ezra which is a very strong team. Leia is replaceable by raid Han or R2 but you lose a ton of damage and need to micromanage buffs much more closely.

And of course CLS figures into the various superteams that clear 50-75% of the whole raid; CLS, BB8, Thrawn or R2 +2. (Ackbar lead and Assaj, Ackbar lead and Han, Rey lead and R2, Rey lead and T2, CLS lead, Han and Both Thrawn and R2... there’s a dozen variations, but you can see what they all have in common.)

Babbys first top tier HAAT team is probably zFinn Resistance with Poe and rTrooper; the other two slots shuffle depending on what phase you want to run them in (Pilot and BB8 are ideal in P2/4, BB8 and R2 in P3, Can use Rey as well, any combination of those three will be fine). All you need is Poe above 232 speed and G8+ to put up many millions of damage.

I tried to build Chirpantine + 3 tanks on an ftp alt and it sucks to work on. The tanks need a lot of the same gear.

I spend a lot more time on our Discord now than I do in here, so I'm not doing the best job at keeping the OP up to date -- but at the same time, for the first 70 levels, basically nothing has changed since Phoenix came out, which resulted in my last major update sometime around September/Octoberish. Basically, you absolutely need to farm STH, Lando and Boba from the start, and from there, working on Phoenix is a really good idea. Once you have them in good shape, continuing on to Empire so that you can get R2, and then OG rebels (Luke, Leia, and Old Ben).

Whats up with Raid Han? Ever since getting him to 7* and fully equipped I can't have a team without him. He's super fast, has the first turn stun and reduces turn meter. He craps out damage like crazy but is fairly squishy.

I never seem him in arena comps so I feel like I'm missing something, but he's been super useful for me all over the game.

Above 200, it's the wild west. Below 200, you start seeing more recently meta teams. Below 150, it is almost all meta teams. Below 100, it's meta teams with top tier gear, and the top 50 is extremely tuned meta teams. At least that's how my shard seems to swing, and I think it's two years old?

My shard feels pretty stacked, it's a struggle to stay above 500 and I've been level 85 for well over a year now. I can't imagine what the top 50 teams look like cause I'm regularly running into teams with g12 in the 400s.

at this point, G12's are everywhere.

Comp and mods are the only thing that matters and right now GK/Zarriss + 3, Nightsisters, and JTRey, droids, GK, +1 are the toppest meta.

GK/Zarriss has an easier time dealing with JTRey, but it falls hard to CLS, which is the only reason CLS is even sticking around anymore.

I use the same but with raid Han in place of Thrawn, who I'm still gearing up. I usually make the top 50 on my shard but generally fall into the 50's or 60's overnight.

Swapping DN for Han once you have him geared is the main good change you can make.

That gives you a tool to short circuit the “their fastest guy is absurdly fast” situations, removes an AoE that gets DN owned vs. CLS teams, and adds a consistent heavy hitter to replace a wet noodle who occasionally one shots people.
