It's best to take the JTR farm in stages, otherwise you're likely to just walk away from this game.

Get BB8 over and done with. This means farming FO which is a whole thing in and of itself, and most of the good units conflict heavily with vetbros

KRU/Silencer from Cantina (because the ship owns and he's got a great leader skill)
FOO from Cantina currency (one of the low-key better FO units)
Phasma from GW (she sucks, but you need 5 FO and she's easy to get)

+2
FOX from cantina - is a very good unit, but he conflicts with Matt
FOST from hards - is a poo poo gear and a long grind, but he's one of the best FO units.
FOTP from fleet - conflicts with nothing else and is a very good ship to boot.
Kylo from cantina - is a staple on every FO team in every game mode.
FOSFTP from guild - is good? who knows? He's an easy farm if you aren't after anything else in guild store, but you could be farming scav/finn here in preparation for the next stage of JTR.

You could skip all the cantina farms just farm vetbros and go:

Phasma, FOO, FOST, FOTP, FOSFTP. I don't know how this team would perform, because it uses some underwhelming units, but it's the fasted route to JTR if that's all you care about.

A kru lead FO team is great for twars and battles, and Finn and Scav Rey are a good start to a resistance team. The vet farm is really the stretch where you aren't getting anything out of it besides just the rjt event

Yeah, my advise is to just actually farm a good FO team and then start working on the vetbros for the home stretch

So, uh, what the hell is all this mod energy going to be used for? Not slicing, I guess. Or maybe it will be used to farm slice salvage?

Mod energy will be for mod challenges and battles have switched over to mod energy, so you don't use cantina for them anymore, the max level of challenged will give the mats to slice iirc

my jedi are overall pretty lovely but this event is hilarious. when I put my full speed set on GMY he goes to 267 speed, the event skill gives Offense up, speed up, crit chance/dmg up, health steal up, def pen up, potency up, yoda then adds tenacity up and prot (30%) up and gives it all to everyone for 2 turns. With how fast he is he gets to do it all again before it wears off on any of my other jedi
everyone ends up like this the second yoda gets to go

If only my GK was 7* :sigh:

nah, OP still good right now. Going after phoenix to get thrawn/EP to get R2 to get CLS is still the thing all new players should be targeting.

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
I too have gotten another speed roll on all the mods i have sliced so far.
Also it seems that the slicing materials from level 9 mod battles drop at a rate of nearly 2 per fight. Anecdotal but i have done 2x 14 sims and gotten over 20 materials both times

Honestly was not expecting this.

Yeah. Slicing blue +15’s up to gold is very reasonably grindabke and is going to result in a lot of people getting huge mod improvements.

Yes, when you slice up a tier it randomly rolls one of your secondaries to get upgraded, just as if you had bought a mod of that color and levelled it to 12.

This bastila team in twar is insane. My nightsister team died instantly, the GMY did a 53k crit first turn to one shot my 100% health/prot MT, then gave everyone foresight before MT went so I couldnt even get plague going, went downhill from there. Figured I'd try a CLS/zolo/chaze team since it has decent buff removal and zolo is my go to for clearing a team that already has turn meter. I couldnt even break through the bonus protection bastila gives with my g12+ zolo/cls. Not a loving dent

I hate when I can add a zeta, because I've screwed up too many times so I keep second guessing myself, They are way easier to get now, but still i want to be careful.

I could add it to R2 and double zeta him.

Or put that zeta on FB Luke (probbaly no), Fett (same), Hobo rey (already told bad idea), KRU (probably a good idea) Tarkin, Nihilus, ST Han, Phasma, ANH Leia, BB8, GM yoda, Finn, Old Ben, Maul, Sidious, Vet Han, and Thrawn (though he's only 5*).

I want to expand my teams, and as i mentioned earlier, and I want to finish JTR, CLS and Thrawn missions, so either improve my FO, Resistance or Rebel teams, or throw it on someone needed for those missions.

Of that entire list, really only R2, Matt, Finn, Nihilus (unique, not leader) and Thrawn (again, the unique, not the lead) are non-joke options. BB8's zeta is good once you get JTR but that's a long, long way down the road for you, and you definitely don't want to waste one on anyone else.

zMatt Leader gets you the most from your FO, don't zeta phasma.

If you want to make another good team, start gearing those jedi and zeta Bastilla and GMY. (Bastilla, GMY, Ezra, GK, +1)

Speaking of Zetas, I have enough for a new one as well and am currently stumped on where to put it.

This is my stuff:https://swgoh.gg/u/agayshark/.

It's a bit out of date but basically I have my EzPz/zzDV/zDs/TFP/Thrawn as my main arena team and then a zBastilla/GMY/Hoda/OldBen/Ezra jedi team. Should I go ahead and zeta Thrawn or shift focus over to my Jedi team?
