I'm still not sure what I'm doing, but I haven't really had a chance to try and figure it out. But I'm doing what I can.
Well, the basics are always do the combat missions first. Usually there's 1-2 per sector, and of course sometimes there's multiple sectors. Be wary as some combat missions only allow certain characters, like Rebels, and some require certain characters, like Hoth Scout, Soldier, Han, or Leia. Make sure you do that one first, if you can, so that you don't use up your limited selection of specific toons. Ship combat missions I've found I can do the first 2-3 phases missions with only 3 ships and that usually gives me more to put into Squadrons.
Next, fill in Platoons. Focus more on Platoons that can be completed. Some require some of the new Ewoks, or other rarer characters(that most don't work on) that many don't have to a certain star level. Those Platoons should be filled in later or skipped completely. The same principles go for ships Squadrons.
Then there's the mass deployment of every other toon you have that you haven't use yet. This I always hold until later, possibly even only an hour or two before the finish of that phase. Basically it's a big push to possibly finish a star level, or even if it's not you just wanna get the points for doing it. Ships mass deployment is something that can be done once you're done with the mission and Squadron since there's only one place to put them.
This time around TB's a lot harder. My guild 3-starred the first 3 waves last time, this time we barely got 2 stars on wave 2. The character requirements for platoons are a joke this time around too. Who the heck has starred Paploo and Millenium Falcon except whale guilds?!
Otherwise, things are going well here.
I finished my phoenix shard grind last week, and am looking at 5 Phoenix characters sitting on 100/100 in my collection. Just need to actually drop the 5mil on them now, which I may hold off on until the Thrawn event comes back
(crossing fingers for next month).
I also made it to 30 zeta shards before I manned-up and zeta'd R2Z2. Always knew I would, but kept holding off because I'm indecisive
Now I have to decide who's getting the next zeta since I'm already halfway there
Also managed to gear 10 a couple more toons recently, including my Dooku who is less than 20 shards from 7* as well. I'll probably finish him off soon once I've caught up on some mod farming.
Eh, I find TB about the same as last time. The Falcon was there last time I am sure, and I thought the Ewoks were, but they might not have been. Definitely some characters and ships that are a huge pain.
I would spend the credits and get those Phoenix starred up. I don't remember what phase they were in TB, but you'll want them strong. They need mods and gear. I too am hoping for the Thrawn event as I desperately want him for 7* so I can use him in HAAT P3.
I'm guessing you did Number Crunch for R2? That's usually the best one to do first. You might consider doing his other Zeta, Combat Analysis, if you are indecisive when you get the next 20 Zetas. It only affects LS toons, but it's handy on a team that crits a lot, like a Rebel team.
Oh yeah, TB. Thanks for reminding me, I should go play them. Hasn't really grabbed my interest. I'd take a raid over TB any day.
Shame on you! You're supposed to be helping your guild.
Anyway, I find it kind of fun. It's something extra to do on the game during the day, and I really want some of those rewards.
