letslipthehounds replied to your post “This won’t last but… I have been trying to break that 1000 barrier...”
Congrats on breaking the 1000 barrier! Unfortunately, you won't get a 5* Rey, she unlocks at 7*, like CLS.
Good to know! Thanks!
Ah well, I’ll just have to wait a little bit longer to be one with the Meta-From-A-Few-Releases-Ago.

Hi, do you have any advice for this unable-to-make-decisions GoH newbie? I'm level 62 atm and just developed 7-star Luminara, and I can't decide what to invest in. (7-star Mace is almost there as well.) I want an actual squad (right now my A-team is Mace, Luminara, Tarkin, Chewie, Jedi Consular), which one do you recommend?
Hello there and Welcome to the Madness! We are super glad to have you with us on our long trek to Rancor/Tank/General Kenobi Domination!
First of all, Congratulations on getting 7* Luminara! YAAAAAY!
She’s fabulous and she stays fabulous for a good long while. She was my first 7* character and I still love her. She’s a character you can level up to a certain point and she stays competitive with everybody else for a good long time. Unlike some characters I am looking at you JK Anakin you pretty, squishy thing you she’s pretty good on her own and mods just make her even better.
Since your Arena team has three Jedi I’m going to make two Suggestion Lists, one based on what you’ve already got and can easily level up and then another Suggestion List based on what’s going to be easy and successful in the long run. I’m not super skilled and well versed in what’s Meta (i.e. what’s popular and super successful in the arena right now.) because I love my Jedi and Clone Sons too much.
But I will try to keep the Meta Game in mind so that later on you haven’t managed to craft some kind of Lovecraftian Horror Zeta Ewok Scout or whatever. XD
I’m also tagging my guild officer @silvergryphon, and my GOH sempai @gffa as well as anyone else who wants to join in the fun! @tygermama, @resistancepilots, @generallkenobi, @dendral, @teapirate, @loverofcake And anyone else who wants to help out and has Thoughts! XD
So without further ado… here’s my suggestions!
JEDI
Jedi are fun because they have lightsabers and do fun flippy things and also LIGHTSABERS ARE PLASMA CHAINSAWS! How is that not cool?
Easy Jedi to Farm
Ahsoka Tano - Hands down Ahsoka is one of the easiest Jedi to farm for. She shows up in the Cantina Store and she has two nodes where she can be found Dark Side 4-C and Light Side 5-D (which has come choice gear on it). Ahsoka can supplement healing for Luminara and she’s also a must have in Fleet Battles. She plays well with others and I’ve often won arena battles where I was down to her and Fives and they made hash of my opponents. Ahsoka is great in mid-game and an excellent addition to your Jedi team.
Ezra Bridger - After Ahsoka, Luminara and Mace, Ezra is probably the second easiest Jedi to farm for. He’s on a low Cantina Node (2-B) and he pops up in the Fleet Store with an annoying regularity. No, Game! I wanted Chirrut Shards! I don’t want Emo Blueberry Shards! Of the Phoenix Squad characters, he’s the one I kill first when I face a Phoenix team and he’s very useful wherever he goes. His bonus attacks can kill Baze and Fives and that takes some serious doing. He also has a ship (Phantom II) so that’s nice for your Fleet arena.
Kanan Jarrus - Okay so with Kanan you’re going to have to balance his availability with whoever else you’re going for in the Squad Arena store but he’s another useful Jedi who can taunt, add protection and debuff your characters. He’s not super easy to get but if you’re going to get the Phoenix Squad he’s tied for second place with Hera after Ezra.
Qui-Gon Jinn - *sighs* Get him. You’ll need him if you want to run a Jedi team. His leadership gives your team speed and he can call assists as well as debuffs. Don’t let my lackluster recommendation of everyone’s Neglectful Hippie Space Dad dissuade you. He’s useful and not hair-pullingly difficult to get.
Difficult to Farm but Worth It
Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker - Oh my precious Rage Baby! So beautiful, so angry, so… squishy? If you’re going to have a Jedi team, you need to have Anakin on it. He does serious damage and he can also inflict healing and buff immunity for 2 turns. He plays very well with clones and Ahsoka. When Luminara gets her heal over time ability, that really helps shore Anakin up. He also has an AOE attack which I don’t think any other Jedi has. He’s only on four nodes (Dark Side 5-B, 7-D, Light Side 5-C and Cantina 7-G) so he’s not impossible to get I am looking at you Aayla Secura but he’s not easy either. Probably just the way Padme and Obi-Wan like it.
Barriss Offee - Eh. Get the murderous wench. She’s the best healer in the game, for a back-stabbing-jedi-turned-terrorist. Like Anakin, she’s not in a store but she’s got four nodes (Dark Side 5-C, 5-E, 8-A and Cantina 6-A). She’s a popular for Zeta when you get to that (and that is still a long ways off for you so don’t worry about it.)
So… uhmm… TL:DR
Ahsoka
Ezra/Qui-Gon
Whoever you didn’t go for last time in the Ezra/Qui-Gon mashup
Jedi Knight Anakin/Kanan Jarrus
Whoever you didn’t go for last time JK Anakin/Kanan Jarrus
Back-stabbin’ Barriss Offee
Holy Crap I went on forever! But onwards and upwards my dear! Here is part two!
REBELS
Because you will need Rebels to compete in all sorts of special events (Empire Themed events, Emperor Palpatine events, the new Territory battles) you are going to need Rebels.
The good news is THERE ARE LOTS OF REBELS. SO MANY REBELS. LIKE MORE THAN WE NEED AND I AM AN AVOWED DISLIKER OF THE SITH/EMPIRE/FIRST ORDER CHARACTERS.
Right now your Squad Arena team is tilted in the direction of Jedi which is fine! I have had my butt handed to me by many a Jedi team before. I swear to the Force Yoda if you don’t leave my precious Wedge alone I am going to reach through the screen and strangle you! But a Rebels team is pretty much required to advance in the game and EA has given you a MYRIAD of options to chose from.
Which brings me to… Easy to Farm Rebels
Biggs Darklighter - Popular recently is a combination of Wiggs (Wedge Antilles + Biggs Darklighter) and Chaze (Chirrut Imwe + Baze Malbus). Now here’s a thing, or two, you need to know about these two combos.
It’s REALLY effective.
It’s kind of a pain in the ass to get.
The good news for you is that Biggs Darklighter is not only in the Galactic War Store (where if you defeat the table you have a chance to purchase up to 15 of his shards a day!) but he’s also located on Cantina Node 3-G and Dark Side Node 4-A. Biggs also has an X-Wing that taunts (I LOVE YOU, BIGGS) and he has amazing synergy with Wedge Antilles. If you can get an omega mat on his Comrade-in-Arms Super-Mega-Killshot attack, he can perform that every other turn. WHICH IS SO AMAZING.
SO.
AMAZING.
So I highly recommend Biggs. Even if you don’t want to run a Rebels squad right now, he is worth it for his ship and that Comrade-in-Arms ability.
Stormtrooper Han Solo - ST Han Solo has the advantage of being both a Rebel and a Scoundrel, which are ANNOYINGLY important in this game. It may not seem like it now but trust me, when you start Mod farming, you are going to need those credit heists desperately. Where is my Dave Chapelle Meme with the white powdery lips and “Y’all got any more of ‘dem Credit Heists?” ST Han is in the same boat as Kanan Jarrus as he’s only available in the Squad Arena store so if you have to pick between the two, go for ST Han while you’re going after Jedi elsewhere.
ST Han can taunt and his taunt is particularly insidious because every time he takes a hit, his allies gain turn meter. I’ve seen him work well with all sorts of teams and I’ve seen him in the top level squads as well.
Princess Leia - Her Royal Highness, the Crown Princess of Alderaan is a beast. On top of her stealth move (which apparently can cleanse some debuffs. *o*) her basic attack “Hair Trigger” allows her fire up to three times in one attack. Remember when I mentioned that Phoenix squad earlier? About the only person I have that is really capable of taking them down to size is Princess Leia. (And Fives, because Fives is indestructible.) She’s also an excellent counter to Grumpy Secessionist Grandpa Count Dooku. She got reworked when they introduced Commander Luke Skywalker so she should be even better now!
Sadly, Our Lady of Sass and Cinnamon Rolls is only located in the Squad Arena store so you’ll have to juggle her against everybody else. I’ve also heard she’s great against Part 4 of the Tank Raid and works well with a team of Clones to form the fantastic portmanteaux of Princess Zody (Princess Leia + Zeta Cody).
Last but most definitely not least is the Baron Administrator of Cloud City…
Lando Calrissian - To call Lando easy to farm is kind of misnomer. He only shows up on two Cantina nodes (1-E and 5-F and for me 5-F had a better drop rate than 1-E) but he’s on Cantina nodes and if you chose to use your crystals that way, you can get probably four to five shards a day for him as opposed to the limits placed on Light Side and Dark Side Battles. I have gotten more but that wasn’t until I opened up 5-F.
Lando is, to put it bluntly, a stone cold mass murderer. Sure he looks all suave and charming and you think, “That man in the open neck blue shirt and that disco-tastic seventies gold lined cape looks charming and harmless! I’ll leave him alone and concentrate my forward power on Darth Vader or Jedi Knight Anakin or something like that.
And then two, maybe three, Lando turns later you’re dead, your party is dead. Your neighbor is dead. EVERYONE IS DEAD.
Not only does Lando have great leadership and a pretty good basic attack, his AOE attack will slaughter YOUR WHOLE TEAM. ALL OF THEM. I’ve seen my Lando take out an entire teams protection in one go! POOF! GONE. ALL OF IT. And then? If he scores a critical hit? (which he does with terrifying regularity when he’s on the opposing team) HIS COOL DOWN RESETS AND YOU ARE DOOMED TO BE PERFORATED BY BLASTER FIRE YET AGAIN.
See? Lando Calrissian: Stone Cold Mass Murderer.
If Lando is paired up with Admiral Ackbar and Ackbar uses his Tactical Genius before Lando, you can perform his ORBITAL BOMBARDMENT OF DOOM TWICE IN A ROW. Lando is the Dread Pirate Roberts of Galaxy of Heroes.
There will be no survivors.
Not only does Lando work great with your Rebels but like ST Han he’s a Scoundrel too so he’ll play well with a Scoundrel team in Credit and Droid Heists.
TL;DR
Biggs Darklighter
Stormtrooper Han Solo
Lando Calrissian
Princess Leia
And then maybe Admiral Ackbar for cleansing and assisting Lando in his mass slaughter of your opponents.
I hope that was helpful, my dear! I wish you all the best in your galactic conquest! Have a great Wednesday and may the Force and RNGeezus be with you!

gffa replied to your post “Hellooooo Sexy Rexy! WELCOME TO THE PARTY!!!!! Now can you PLEASE...”
Thanks to you I'm starting to work on a clone team and IT TAKES SO LONG WHYYYY also UGH GEAR FARMING. Is Rex the one to focus on re: mods + gear then?
JOIN ME. CLONES ARE AWESOME. I LOVE MY BEAUTIFUL SONS.
But yeah, I focused on getting Rex first, since he debuffs and plays well with others. And his basic does some turn meter reduction. I’m currently trying to finish Fives off and while I’ve got Cody and Echo up to purple gear (Level 6? Level 7?) they don’t have as many stars as Rex and Fives do so they’re still squishy.
BUT ECHO ASSISTS (practically) EVERY BASIC SHOT HIS CLONE BROTHERS FIRE. It’s AMAZING. And Cody’s “Everybody In the Pool! It’s Murdering Time!” is also FANTASTIC. I’m not sure they’re Super Mega Extra Top-Level but everytime I’ve tried to defeat a Clone Squad, they have brutally decimated me.
And I Loved it!
XD
So in conclusion, your honor, CLONES.

UGH...
I really appreciate having this R2-D2 event sprung on me EA. I'm sure I can level up my Empire to get the stupid droid unlocked in, oh, SIX HOURS. UGH. There's another event I'm going to have to wait to come around again. At what point do I get to start feeling successful at this game? I was super excited to get Barriss and Aayla and the promise of Yoda but now I just want to fling my phone at the wall. Don't even get me started on Thrawn and Phoenix squadron. I'm going back to pampering the Team and dreaming about having General Kenobi one day.

WHY ISNT PADME IN GALAXY OF HEROES THIS MAKES ME SO MAD
I don’t know, Nony. I just don’t know.
I mean, we’re getting Chief Chirpa for pity’s sake but not Padme? That just seems ridiculous. Darth Nihilus is a character (and mighty powerful at that) and he’s in one half-finished video game! He isn’t even the main character of that video game! They don’t even have Jango Fett and he actually appeared on screen! Hell! HUX isn’t even in the game and he’s in the Sequel Trilogy!
I’m not really sure what EA’s character creation guidelines are, or what Lucasfilm wants them to do. I know they’re focusing heavily on rebel characters because of the Rebels cartoon and I hope that with the release of season 4 we get another chance at Ahsoka but outside of that and whatever mysterious August Event is coming up (I’ve heard it’s going to be about Luke but I don’t know much else beyond that) I can’t really discern the workings of the devs in this.
The only thing I can figure is that they don’t really have a role for Padme to fill. She can’t really play as an attacker unless you want to give her the triple shot like Leia or something similar. You could make her a support but the Republic faction already has Rex, Echo, Yoda, and any number of Jedi. And I can’t see EA turning Padme into a Tank like Fives or a scoundrel like Cad Bane.
It might simply be a case of there being too many characters who are already filling the roles that Padme would if she were in the game. Or EA and Lucasfilm could be waiting for some kind of anniversary date for a prequels film to release her. Who knows?
Either way, I, TOO, WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OF PADME IN GALAXY OF HEROES, ELECTRONIC ARTS!

So while everybody else is off getting the green ottoman because they leveled up their Jedi like sensible people. I was off on a quest to get one of my clone sons because I can’t leave Fives alone! I mean, he and Chirrut have become bosom buddies while Baze gets his $%^ together but only another Brother can truly understand what it was like. So I finally got Rex for Fives and SOON ECHO WILL JOIN THE SQUAD. #SQUADGOALS #IAMTOOOLDFORTHISJOKE
I was also working on getting Phasma who showed up two days ago, I think? Anyway, I got Her Shininess and I’m slowly working her up to being useful, especially since it would be nice to have some assists going on on the Dark Side.
But then... THEN.... The game blessed me again!
So a long while back, I got Ahsoka from the random Bronzium card drop. I squealed with excitement and possibly embarrassed myself but I didn’t care because AHSOKA! I had been talking about her a great deal and since our phones (and the NSA and probably Palpatine) are listening to us I joked with @writegowrite that the game heard me and gave me Ahsoka so that I would keep playing.
So jokingly, we started crooning to the phone “General Kenooooobiiiii!”
And while I have not been gifted with His High Gingerness yet, I have been going on and on about Old Daka this week and LO AND BEHOLD!
LOOK WHO SHOWS UP!
So please excuse me. I need to go whisper “General Kenobiiiiii!” into my phone. Or “Wedge Antilleeeees!!!”

I think some of the Rogue One characters and their synergistic effects are over powered, or I suck and need to level up abilities.
I know I run the other way when I see Baze and Chirrut on a team in the Squad Arena or if I see Jyn with K2SO. I haven’t run into a lot of Finn or Poes so that might add more weight to your theory that the Rogue One characters are overpowered. I’m curious to see what happens when Ep VIII comes out and if they’ll give us new versions of Finn, Poe and Rey or if they’ll add some kind of new effects for them.
Also, I would really like an Old Luke character while we’re discussing things just so we can have a “Crazy Old Codger” team with like Old Ben, Old Luke, Salty Grandpa (Dooku), Yoda and Qui-Gon Jinn. Also I want the Skywalker family to have some kind of special synergy when they’re all on one team and I’m not saying that because for a while my Squad team consisted of Leia, Luke and JK Anakin. Nooooooooope! Not at all! XD

LOOK AT THAT FAMILY! I AM SO PROUD OF MY CLAN OF THOSE WHO WALK THE SKY! LOOK AT MY TINY DYNAMO OF A PRINCESS! And now comes imperial week where I try to level up my baddies because they're kind of whimpy but I'd like to use more of them since I've got a whole team and the synergy would be nice.

Look who has decided the join the party on the penthouse level! Welcome to the big leagues Luminara and Pint-sized Powerhouse Princess Leia! It's a lady extravaganza in my GoH roster! And once I get Ahsoka leveled up Operation Bada$$ Star Wars Ladies shall commence. You're next Sabine. You and that armor crunching dark saber. *whispers* Where do I get Sabine Shards from? With Special Guest Star Anakin Skywalker because he's still my go-to Murder Bot.
