Just started playing on Sunday so I'm level 31 with a generic generated name.

Ally code: 865-839-979.

questions:
- I have been running a LS squad of Plo Koon, Jedi Consular, Poe Dameron, Jawa and Ewok Scout. (with some DS snowtrooper or Talia). Is this an ok lineup that I can just dump all my materials and credits into?
- Is it okay to just focus on LS until I get better DS heroes? (aiming for sidious at this point)
- Is it okay to just use my SIM on Hard and Cantina battles?

Chewbacca loving owns as a starter tank.

Poe will be good with the right pieces around him, but ultimately, he's just a much less durable tank who gets himself killed using his taunt, because it lasts too friggen long.

gently caress IOS. They give you Poe instead of Phasma (the android reward). That's like being born with a 2 inch dick and your android bro's watch porn to laugh at the tiny penises.

Hey, muchos gracias to whomever mentioned sending waves of chumps at people in galactic warfare. I don’t know if I ever would have noticed the ‘retreat’ option hidden in the upper left, much less the way it impacted GW gameplay. It definitely encourages having a roster that is both broad AND powerful.

Someone mentioned hoping the chump squad could kill a single enemy unit. That’s asking way too much in my opinion, I levelled up my 1 star ewoks and clone troopers and all I ask them to do is soak up a single turn’s worth of taunts and special attacks while making the Whilhelm Scream and panic’d R2D2 noises before retreating. If they manage to successfully hurt the other squad, that’s just icing.

Then my A-Team comes in, snipes the main DPS, and then can whittle down the tanks and supports at their leisure. Very useful (to me) when you’re to the last 4 battles.

You don't need a Phasma. Is Phasma nice? Yes. However under no circumstances does Phasma come before Luminara, unless of course you'd like to slow down your overall progress in the game. Phasma is second unless you have some other weird goal, but Lumi is too strong in too many facets of the game to come second to Phasma.

No, I just -want- a phasma, so I'll probably divert ~4 days of GW I need to finish her off.

Use dark/light missions to farm gear-ups to rank IV, at least, on the toons you use regularly.
Use Cantina battles to rank-up your Chewie and may be your Talia
Use your Arena marks to buy Palpatine
Use your GW marks to buy Luminara

If you can, buy 1 cantina battle refill/day and 2 50 crystal regular refills/day.

Ally code: 184-685-291

I recently started playing, and I'm level 20 at the moment. It seems that it'll take days/weeks to get some new characters, so I figure it's good to start earlier rather than later doing it. Which data cards should I be buying for Arena points, and which ones should I be farming hard mode battles for? Any specific advice here, or just try to upgrade those I have?

For Arena marks, Palpatine all day, every day until he's 7-star.

Don't farm shards in hard-mode battles, use that energy to farm gear instead.
Once you unlock cantina battles, use that energy to farm shards for Chewie, and use the cantina shipment marks to buy Old Daka shards.
Once you unlock Galactic War, use those marks to buy Luminara Undili until she's a 7-star.

Also, spend gems on 1 Cantina(100)/Battle(50) each day, to smooth along your gearing and getting Old Daka.

Is this not somewhere in the OP? Maybe it should be.

"What you want to do is start with the highest star training remotes you have and apply all of them minus 1, then the next highest star remote minus one, and so on until you’re using the 1* training remote to cap off the training level. That way you’ll minimize any left over XP and credit loss due to player level or level cap. Do NOT use the Auto “Assign All” feature or you’ll find yourself in a situation where all your lower training remotes are used up and will waste credits and XP."

Everything else is 1-star trash. I could start farming shards on this Geonosian Soldier, but I'm going to be farming JC shards for a while.

Like others have said, Kit is good but almost impossible for us non-whales to level up to 7. I still believe that they will rotate characters offered in Cantina/GW/Arena, so we can get Kit shards sometime, just not now.

Overall, though, out of those mentioned on your team, you'll want to replace Chewie first because you won't need two taunt (and Poe is better). JC/Lumi/Luke/Poe are all top notch characters and well worth leveling to 7 stars. You just need another DPS on that team.

I should have Sidious in a few days, so that pretty well rounds out the team.

I got a Darth Maul today as well, but he's going to run into the same problem as Kit. I'm going to level him anyway, because my dark side stable is loving ABYSMAL.

The P2W is really strong with this game. i don't mind dropping 5 bucks here or there but the game is really stingy in general and packs are very lean. I spent some play store credits up front but I wont do it again, it's not worth it unless you really want to whale hard.

I spent a bunch of free money I got from a dumb work thing buying Chromium packs.

I got some cool poo poo, but ultimately? It didn't help me at all, as the best meta right now revolves around poo poo you can farm. Unless you luck into a free Palpatine or Old Daka, you're pretty much wasting money. The story could be different after they change-up what's in the arena/GW shipments and balance the game next month.

Yes and the problem with PAD was that you basically needed certain characters to efficiently do
Certain levels/bosses. So annoying and expensive.

PAD throws stones at you, though. I roll 2-3 times in each and every god fest. I've only spent 10 bucks on the game.

The real trick to PAD was to remake your account over and over and over again in the beginning, until the first thing you rolled was like a Horus or w/e. I did this. It took me a week before I could actually play the game, but it proved to be the single best investment, as I'm now level 300+ with a 400+ monster stable and I've never seen another Horus. Point is, you can play PAD without paying a dime, if you're just playing for a few minutes every day.

I've beaten nearly every descended dungeon with either Horus or Athena (which I couldn't have gotten without Horus).

I thought the consensus was that Dooku is great mid-game, but tapers off later? Has this changed? If I don't have Dooku at all, should I start farming him?

Right now I'm farming Lumi, JC, and Rey. Once I get JC to 5, should I just leave him there and focus on others?

For Cantina, I've been farming JC, but I just unlocked Luke, so I feel like I should farm him there. He seems pretty good. However, I've noticed that I get better ability shards from farming JC than Luke (But, JC costs 2 more). Since I've been really short on Ability shards, should I instead just start pushing through Cantina levels so that I can maybe get better drop rates on level 2s? Or should I just keep farming JC/Luke?

Get him. He's a great character for dark-side poo poo and is real, real good until your whole team is 6+ stars.

His attack speed is so loving stupid, he's great for trashing an opponents healer from the B-squad in GW.

I seem to always pull some god tier team and can't do anything to stop it.

Use the A-team to blick their deeps and retreat, if someone dies or a roll doesn't go your way, force close and try again. Once the deeps goes down, your B team will probably be able to get another kill before the enemy gets it's rounds (or at least seriously hurt someone), so drop it and retreat, get your A-team back in and charge skills on your way to the next fight.

You probably know and tried all of this. Sorry for your luck, man.
