I promoted 3 Resistance toons to 5* today. That's all of them except resistance trooper. I still need a ton of gear though as most of them are below Gear 5.

I only have Rey at a decent level (7*, 85) and gear (X), all others are way too weak with Finn not even unlocked yet.

I don't really think that the speed % mods are that neglectable. Remember, the higher your overall speed, the better for the speed % mod. And you can get speed as primary and secondary stats on those. It kills two birds with one stone - speed modding with speed stats plus the 10% bonus is always better than speed modding without 10%, isn't it? Of course, you need the full Resistance squad first, which is very hard to push to the level needed for Tier III. I promoted 3 Resistance toons to 5* today. That's all of them except resistance trooper. I still need a ton of gear though as most of them are below Gear 5.

You are correct in your math. Your second statement is what rings more true for most people. The effort needed in building a Resistance squad that can handle Tier 3 of the speed challenge is one that is makes it less efficient to try and go for those. Not to mention their usefulness(or lack thereof) outside of the mod challenge. Rey is of course popular and useful. Poe has gained popularity with Ships. Finn is a little more useful now, but still not used very much. The other two are even less so. Health, Defense, and Crit are 3 easily farmable categories which all provide very useful stat boosts without having to go to all the extra effort. Some day I might have a Resistance squad that will try and go for the mods, but until then there are other toons that are a much higher priority.

Point because you used a LEGO picture. And congrats! This cantina energy refresh thingy just got a lot more attractive if you got 13 shards that quickly. . .

What's worse than having 79/80 Jawa Engineer shards? Also having 60/65 Slave 1 shards, knowing I'll be 64/65 shards because of the stoopid 4shard packs.

Yeah, I hate when ships is like that. As for character shards, I know that I'll always be getting 5 at a time, and JE is only gotten in the guild store, so if I know in the end I'll be 1 or 2 short I start looking in the shard shop or the shipments to see if I can snag 2 or 3 and get it so I'm 1 or 2 over so that's 1 less shipment I have to buy in the end.

Yeah, I might look for it in the shard shop for a while, especially as I don't have enough guild currency currently to buy another pack. I haven't had enough shard shop currency to buy much from there so far, and when I have had 300+ it's gone towards Vader shards. It might be my best bet atm though.

I don't push the Resistance team either. I'm focusing on Jawas for the Crit Dmg right now...need it especially for the IG droids, Lando, Wedge and Biggs. Maybe Rey, too. But I'm trying to get most of the mods from the Mod Shop. Especially those "A" grade mods are extremely beneficial, with the existing secondary stats also increasing instead of adding them randomly to the mods from the challenges. You can choose those whose stats appeal you...maybe I can get some speed mods from there, too

Same here. Resistance is a waste because of my arena I can't use them. Better to gear and level up characters I can actually use.

Already got the other 3 and Ugnaught done. Engineer is of course committed to my droid team. Crit damage is another one of those that requires a set of 4 so I haven't gone far with that, but we'll see eventually. I imagine when my group is tank raid capable, then I'll be ready to do the challenge. I've been eyeballing the mod store, but I am very picky about which I spend my credits on. Unless it's got a primary stat of speed, or unless it's purple or gold already where I can see if it's got stats I want, I don't buy in.

I haven't posted any little progress updates lately, certainly not like I used to. But I just Omega'd Biggs special, so now I can do the double assist every 2 turns. MWAHAHAHA!
