I restarted this game - having not played for a really long time. I've been through the OP and added myself to the spreadsheet, but am still a bit clueless. Is it worth splurging all my crystals on arena for an initial boost? Looking at the rankings for my shard, the top 50 includes some really weak teams so I should be able to get there easily enough if I had more opportunities.

Are there any spaces in goon guilds? Although I appreciate I probably can't contribute anything at this point!

Join up on Discord, the link is in the spreadsheet. There's one other guy on the waitlist right now (Omar_Comin) and next up should be you.

The biggest advice for any restarts is start a new game. Unless you have some weird inactive shard chances are you are hopelessly behind your arena meta, which is the best source of crysyal income.

Like, it doesn't matter if you were level 85. Your peers have most likely lapped you by now and a fresh start is the best way to be competitive

depending on where you are, you might be better off starting fresh rather than using an old account. you'll be impossibly far behind in the arena otherwise, unless you never unlocked arena previously

SWGOH frustration of the day: Killed all of Thrawn's dudes and it was down to Thrawn vs Ezra, Zeb, and Kanan. All three almost full health. I still don't have 7* Thrawn.

I guess I don't understand his mechanics. It looks like he gets a turn immediately after stun wears off. Which means stun is worthless.

Yeah I'm not sweating Thrawn this time around, I'll wait until next time when hopefully Phoenix are all at g11 or something. Right now at g8/g9 it's not even fair.

Got my squad ready for CLS, now I need to get the vet smugglers up for Rey's journey.

I think we're all going to miss the first Rey's journey.

Putting both Vet smugglers on 16-cost Cantina was a dick move.

Some guy calculated that if you use all cantina energy from now on on Vet Han and Chewie, and get 1/3 drop rate exactly, and buy their shards from shipments, it will cost you ~13500 crystals to get them to 7*. Atm you can buy ~19k crystals for $100, so if Jedi Rey is worth ~$65 to you go for it.

Don’t forget that a good arena/fleet ranking will give you 5-900 crystals per day though. So, 2-5 weeks of crystals. The million dollar question is when is the event and is there enough time for that daily income to be sufficient.

Could someone have a look at my roster and give me some input on

A. A better squad arena team

B. Better teams for Rancor and (h)AAT

Currently my SA team is
Palpie (L), Thrawn, TFP, Obi1, R2D2.
My SA meta is a lot of Wiggs/leia/lando/obi1 and similar teams. Not a lot of whales except at the very top.

For the raids i use my Phoenix Squad (Ezra, Chopper, not Sabine) and Palpie(L), TFP, Thrawn, StT, GMT.
On rancor i can get about 1,4m points, on AAT its about the same if i am able to get both my teams in on both days.

I have a TON of cantina credits, GW tokens and SA tokens so i am willing to farm up some other heroes as i don't have any particular farm goals atm (I feel ready for CLS and BB8, Jedi Rey is probably not happening but am spending cantina energy on Veterans for the time being anyways)

Do we have actual confirmation of the required characters/ships for Rey's journey? Or are we just guessing based on the general creep of these chained character special events?

You don't really have any of the good arean leaders.

Focus on establishing Wedge/Rex for the time being.

Wiggs/Chaze/R2 would be pretty alright.

Rex/Thrawn/R2 +2 would be alright.

We won't know until the event is upon us, just like last time. But... we're pretty certain it'll require AT LEAST Vet smuggler Chewie/Han. The only real question is whether they gently caress us by requiring a 7* Millenium Falcon.

They did a surprise, way way way out of sequence R2 just before CLS for similar reasons.

My Rex is nearly 7* and i am OK with gearing him up. I don't really like Wiggs but have to admit that getting Wedge up to scratch is probably more useful since he can also be used for TB and what not (my Biggs is GL10 and 7*)

Yes, I was saying wedge/rex are good arena leaders and you should focus one.

Well, shit.
Am I crazy unlucky or have they stopped putting gold components in shipments (implant, data-pad, medpac etc). There's tons of salvage (challenge loot) and full pieces but none of the old '25 components for 500 crystals' bro-deals that I used to rely on to get people to T11.

I've bought a couple of the 25-piece ones for implants recently, so they're definitely still in there. Guess you must just be having bad luck recently.

The clearest path I can see for you for a better arena squad might be Wiggs/R2/Leia/OB with Wedge leading. You can probably do well with them.

You're not all that far off from having the characters for some of the more commonly used teams in arena:

Something Maulful goons, here's our strategy for Territory Wars:

1. Deploy around 4 teams of varying strength to 4 different territories, and one fleet (ships are the back two on the top row).
2. Hold back your resistance team, phoenix team (because these teams tend to do better on offense), and your arena team
3. Tomorrow, when the fight starts, try to select matches where you you believe you will have close wins. Any given offense team only fights once, so there's no need to set up a match where you crush the enemy team while taking no damage.
4. Similarly, don't start a fight where you're going to be crushed without getting at least one kill, because defending teams work like GW, where they keep damage but also keep turn meter.
5. This is a learning experience for everyone, don't get too worked up about it.
