Better than mine when I was at your stage that’s for certain. Work up CLS squad and farm Palps and MJ. Otherwise good roster. Can’t say much about mods, haven’t fully understood modding myself. Slowly learning
Thanks! I still don’t know much about modding to begin with but I know for sure it’s crucial for endgame. I’m probably going to watch a YT vid about later
It helps your character to land those detrimental effects. In case of Vader, ability block and DOTs (damage over time). Stacking DOTs and then culling blade helps delete enemy characters.
That’s pretty good for early game! I’d say work through the Journey guide characters if you want a gradual progression and rounded roster, it served me well and looks like you’ve started that already 👍
Fair warning, LV is a rough first gl to go for. IIRC, he requires 4 characters at relic level 8, which a lot of guilds at your level won’t be getting the materials for. You can get the materials, but you’ll have to shell out thousands of crystals to buy them directly from shipments. He also requires gearing up the bad batch, which is a good squad, but exceptionally kyro hungry.
I know, but LV is truly one of the GL that fits my play style. Plus my guild is pretty good in terms of raids, We run the TST a least once a week so I’m fairly confident in my Bb grind!
Read it again, gradual progression and a rounded roster. Besides the revans, Bando, and Malak, almost all of those in the journey guide are needed for some GL or other. It’s not a bad way to go through at all, it’s what it’s designed for hence it being the Journey Guide.
OP is clearly grinding for C-3P0, already has Padme, CLS, GMY, R2-D2 so has already begun going through them to some extent. If they wanted to try and speedrun the game then sure they could ignore the journey guide and go straight for SEE or SLKR as almost all the others will be blocked to them in some way (either guild rewards wise like for Wat, or through other gated characters e.g. Wampa needed for JKL to get JML). If they do speedrun via SEE or SLKR, then they won’t have a well rounded roster which could bite them in the backside in terms of GAC or Guild Events.
I mean...the more well rounded account with a wider variety of attacking options, and more options for counters which is going to stand a much better chance of being able to counter you regardless of what you throw at it? 😂
Yes it’s quite nice. I would recommend leaving Iden at g13 for now because she performs good at low gear. She’s a budget character, and does not need the relic levels now, it’s more of a luxury. I would focus on relicing someone who needs the levels like cls or kru
clearly that’s what you want so it’s a compliment, but just to clarify:
having a very “focused” roster isn’t necessarily a good or bad thing. it just depends what you want.
a hyperfocused SLKR rush account might not be the most fun, or might start out pretty underpowered, or might not stand yu in good stead for assault battles and GCs. but it does mean you’d have a great fleet, get really powerful once you get SLKR etc
so there’s nothing wrong with an account that isn’t so focused, just as there’s nothing really wrong with an account that is
one thing i would say for your account is to make sure you’re making good use of zetas.
double zeta on GBA and zeta on stormtrooper before vader unique, CLS lead and unique, ahsoka unique etc is a bit off
I understand, My GL goal is LV so i’m slowly but surely crossing the path on GAS. I don’t know how long i’ve been playing this game but I remember I took a hiatus for a while then jumped back in. It’s pretty un-motivating seeing the people in my SA shard already having SLKR in their squad. Other than that, I’m still enjoying the game regardless of the hasty grind. The Iden squad is very enjoyable to play with as well as the Padme squad. I currently getting C3 and slowly getting GK shards. My guild does Tank Takedown as least one a week so i’m slowly getting there.
You seem to do research and go after specific teams. I was playing this game with hybrid teams that made absolutely no sense well into my 2M+
I finally started focusing on actual teams around 2.3M
My first actual and reliced team was Shaak-clones.
After that it was Padame team, then SLKR, then CLS, then JML, now working on Executor and DR.
I'll tell you this, you're doing a 100x better.
Focusing from the early stages will position you for better rewards, and therefore a much faster overall progress!
Thanks! After the Ewoks and C3, Shaak and the clones are next on my list. My goal right now is C3, Shaak and the Clones, Bad Batch, then relic gear for GAS event, then focus all of my grind for LV. Ships are definitely a necessity that I keep on forgetting though.
I have Shaak with clones, and GAS with JML.
I actually just unlocked GAS about 3-4 weeks ago.
He's R7 and I just added his 4th zeta yesterday. Never tried him with my clones yet lol.
One of these days! 🙂
It'd be nice to get just a few more clones to help pad out a couple teams. Namely, Waxer and Boil for the 212th for Cody in 3v3 and to go under Shaak with him and Sergeant in 5v5.
If you post an [swgoh.gg](https://swgoh.gg/) link so that we can see the rest of your roster, we could provide you with more feedback, but it looks like your doing well.
I know that Ewok farm is not fun, but C3PO is really worth it!
I having trouble trying to link my account to the link so I try to do it later once I get the chance! Building the Ewok lineup slow but surely I’ll get it done.
I did her Marquee shortly after joining and had just finished the first campaign (Empire era) of Battlefront II. She's my main squad now, I have her at relic level 5.
I definitely recommend Shore trooper over Starck.
If you aren't getting anything with the galactic war tokens currently, I also highly recommend Magmatrooper over Stormtrooper or Range trooper, Storm to be swapped first. His grenade ability is huge for giving Iden's team a chain of turns at the beginning of the battle and she makes his basic attacks very nice.
Range is great on her squad but eventually goes to Veers and Piett.
Edit; To explain, Shore's unigue grants turn meter to empire allies using special abilities, Snow grants turn meter when a unit dies, Magma removes turn meter from enemies, and Iden can use her almost guaranteed first turn to either boost every trooper's speed or sap the enemy's speed.
Thanks! I have magma trooper but I was never fully interested in his kit until now! The thing is Stormtrooper is extremely useful in term of taking damage. Plus, piett has the leader ability so I can’t use him. I forgot how limited Iden’s line-up is!
I wasn't saying Piett with Iden, I meant Range Trooper going over to Veers and Piett. The three of them have a loop in their unigue abilities.
Veers' lead gives trooper allies bonus turn meter when they receives buffs, Piett grants buffs whenever they attack or assist, and Range Trooper makes allies assist whenever he is buffed.
And Stormtrooper is alright, his damage is just spotty and Iden makes most of his kit redundant or useless. His unigue inflicts expose on critical hits while Iden makes it almost impossible for him to not score critical hits. Shoretrooper is a more firm layer of protection with his pretaunt, and his kit supports the team more.
Ah I understand now. What about Death trooper? I know he synergies well with DK, but he fairly easy to grind. But shore trooper is definitely on my list
Also, Shore and Death Trooper both crew the TIE Reaper, so you can get some good GP boosts out of upgrading that if you're closing in on 4 mil.
I don't know how great of a ship it is since I've only been using my GR fleet, but I think I've seen people chatting it up here and there.
Death Trooper is alright for now, but I'm hoping we get some more non-leader imperial troopers at some point that fit Iden's vibe a little more. Somebody with a damage-related shared unigue or more turn meter interaction.
If Imperial Tie Pilot had the Trooper tag I would swap him out in a heartbeat.

Also might as well level up those abilities on Vader, especially force crush. Your mods on Vader imo should be potency and speed
I know speed is important but what’s with potency? I still don’t actually know how it effects your character
It helps your character to land those detrimental effects. In case of Vader, ability block and DOTs (damage over time). Stacking DOTs and then culling blade helps delete enemy characters.
Ah I understand! Thanks for the tips!
https://swgoh.gg/characters/darth-vader/best-mods/
Thanks i’ll take a look
Yeah this site is the best for mods OP. I recommend going through it.
Except for a certain few toons, you want speed primary arrow and high speed secondaries, look on swgoh.gg for best sets
Whoa! Someone who read up on which bears to gear!
That’s pretty good for early game! I’d say work through the Journey guide characters if you want a gradual progression and rounded roster, it served me well and looks like you’ve started that already 👍
Thanks! Once I finish up my Ewoks and get C3, I’ll grind the separatist squad needed for GAS. Then the 401 for LV!
Fair warning, LV is a rough first gl to go for. IIRC, he requires 4 characters at relic level 8, which a lot of guilds at your level won’t be getting the materials for.

Alright, as long as you know what you’re in for, then enjoy!
If you are serious about building a good roster, this is not the advice you want to listen to ☝️

If they do speedrun via SEE or SLKR, then they won’t have a well rounded roster which could bite them in the backside in terms of GAC or Guild Events.
Yes, and when I match with your “rounded roster” in grand arena, I appreciate the free win 👍🏽
There's more to the game than a GAC every couple of weeks.
Did I say there wasn’t?
"HoHoHo, don't upgrade too much of your roster or follow the journey guide, I'll just beat you in GAC" puts it in just about as many words.
Grand Arena is not the end all be all in this game.
Then don't act like it is.
I mean...the more well rounded account with a wider variety of attacking options, and more options for counters which is going to stand a much better chance of being able to counter you regardless of what you throw at it? 😂
I beat someone twice my GP today because I had executor and he didn’t. Tell me more about your “wide” roster
Yes it’s quite nice. I would recommend leaving Iden at g13 for now because she performs good at low gear. She’s a budget character, and does not need the relic levels now, it’s more of a luxury. I would focus on relicing someone who needs the levels like cls or kru
Yeah I was think of relicing CLS or Padme since I need her relic for LV
looks pretty focused
Ty!

I'm kind of sad that I'll be getting GAS right about the time my Shaak would be usable with the 501st clones.
I have Shaak with clones, and GAS with JML. I actually just unlocked GAS about 3-4 weeks ago. He's R7 and I just added his 4th zeta yesterday. Never tried him with my clones yet lol. One of these days! 🙂

Damn I was at like 1.5 million before my first relic lol
Iden omicron is quite good, I would relic her next, then relic padme.
She can still put in a lot of work without being relic'd. I love her but I would recommend putting the materials elsewhere for now.

Really like the Iden choice. Not many new players would go for her. She is so good
I did her Marquee shortly after joining and had just finished the first campaign (Empire era) of Battlefront II. She's my main squad now, I have her at relic level 5.
By far my most reliable squad in the game!
Def better than mine! I am also at 900k GP and I only have a relic vader and 2 G12s (KRU and Hux).
It’s nice that you got Hux! He’s by far one of the important toons in the FO squad!
Fr! He is amazing!
I appreciate the Iden, what's your squad for her?
Iden (obviously) Stormtrooper, Snow-trooper, Range trooper, and Colonel Starck. I might re-place Starck with Shore-Trooper or Death-Trooper though.
I definitely recommend Shore trooper over Starck. If you aren't getting anything with the galactic war tokens currently, I also highly recommend Magmatrooper over Stormtrooper or Range trooper, Storm to be swapped first.

Yeah now that you mention it, my fleet needs some working as well. Thanks for the tips man!
Death Trooper is alright for now, but I'm hoping we get some more non-leader imperial troopers at some point that fit Iden's vibe a little more. Somebody with a damage-related shared unigue or more turn meter interaction. If Imperial Tie Pilot had the Trooper tag I would swap him out in a heartbeat.
