Getting back to swgoh

[cinder ledge]

Hey ya’ll, I‘m on my way back to swgoh. Sending my swgoh.gg and would appreciate if someone would take some time to take a look at it and give some advice on how to get back at it and what to Focus on. I literally have no clue on what’s going on in the Game right now as I didn’t play it for like 2-3 years. Thank you in advance and have a great day ya‘ll!! https://swgoh.gg/p/188556153/

[last prairie]

First thing to focus on is to complete the anniversary quests. It will give you alot of Lightspeed Tokens to upgrade missing characters.

[cinder ledge]

I don’t even see any anniversary quests right now

Where do I find them?

[last prairie]

Should be in this section.

[cinder ledge]

Ahh yh see it now

For now it shows zeta as rewards

[last prairie]

Yes, there are a lot of quests and rewards.

[cinder ledge]

So are lightspeed tokens following those zetas?

[last prairie]

Yes. You can see all rewars here: (Around 3/4 down the page)

Just found the picture overview

Further points you can look into:

• Complete Executor and increase your fleet rank.
• Requirements for the next GL. Could be Jabba or Leia.

[cinder ledge]

Oh Yes very helpful

[cinder ledge]

Yh definetly thought about going for Leia soon

[torn ocean]

Yeah map it out so you don't accidentally upgrade a character that later in the chain gets their own lst. There are other graphics I think offering suggestions on how to deploy.

[last prairie]

There is this one

[cinder ledge]

I don’t really get what’s happening here

[last prairie]

Quest teams and lightspeed token is what you get through the anniversary quest, as shown on the other picture before.
Valuable targets and the three characters column are an indication on where it might be worth to use other lightspeed tokens, that you might get hold of.

[cinder ledge]

Appreciate it!

Another question: what’s the main or Most important stuff to spend the crystals on right now?

[cosmic mulch]

Refreshes on stuff you're naturally farming

[cinder ledge]

Alright

And how is the GL Situation looking? What are the Most powerful ones and weakest ones right now. I don’t know those new ones yet

Like Ahsoka or Hondo

[balmy drift]

From what I've heard, Leia is the best one at the moment.

[cosmic mulch]

GLAT and Hondo are very powerful as well, though GLAT needs to be revisited with the changes to Ezra. Was a very strong defense team

[torn ocean]

For extra clarity on the attached diagram. At the end of a quest line they give you a faction lst like jedi. So it's usable on any qualified jedi. The diagra shows for each faction pictures for several good candidates for a faction lst. Then all the way to the right are some early farms players are chasing. If you are pursuing one of those, it shows the unit you probably want to choose over all the other faction options. Obviously you need to take into consideration whether you already have a toon at relics etc but this really tries to narrow it down.

[cinder ledge]

Ahhh okay I get it

Thx Ya´ll

Also, does it make sense to use crystals on the era store?

Like for the era level currency

[lost lava]

It does not if anything use it for the characters star levels

[cinder ledge]

Alright!

What’s the best to spend episode currency on?

[cosmic mulch]

Omicrons, kyros, mod mats

[lost lava]

I’d personally say Omicrons first then Signal data

[cinder ledge]

That’s good to know

Thank you

[torn ocean]

Omicrons there is no debate as it's the cheapest source for them. Early game it may feel useless but as you unlock conquest toons you feel the inventory crunch. The other stuff players may argue about based on where they are in the game. I think the best value based on availability is the mod mats especially the 6 dot mats since the mod battle drops are horrible. I never buy kyros and the value of kyro rapidly drops when you join a Zeffo/Mandalore ready ROTE guild. Shards used to be an interesting early game choice but with the prevalence of lsts it's become far less valuable. Today I think the only exception is if they ever seed the store with single drop/era characters which cannot be lst. I haven't looked in forever but I believe signal data is pricey in this store.

[cinder ledge]

Thx dude appreciate it!

[cinder ledge]

Who should I use it on?

[cosmic mulch]

Paz or IG-12 if you're going for BKM

[cinder ledge]

Ah Alright makes sense

And this one?

[tepid plover]

Could do 50rt if you go for leviathan

[lost lava]

Yeah 50rT or even K2 if you already have the rogue one team up

[cinder ledge]

This one prolly Raddus right?

Krrsantan?

Iden or Gideon?

ANd here Qui gon or obi wan?

And then thats it lol

[tepid plover]

Raddus or Saw

[tepid plover]

Typically I prefer Boushh but yeah either of them

[tepid plover]

Scout Trooper

[tepid plover]

Yeah either of them

[cinder ledge]

ohh yeah need him for Leia

What was Krrsantan good for again?

Jabba right?

[tepid plover]

Jabba, Boushh is for both Leia and Jabba

[cinder ledge]

Yeah imma go Boushh

And scout

So I´m very close to leia with that

[tepid plover]

Yeah you should be pretty damn close after that, throw a coliseum token on Kneesaa and it shouldn't take more than 6-8 weeks to do it

[cinder ledge]

Yeah for sure! Got a lot of stuff hoarded right now too

Lot´s of relic mats

[tepid plover]

As long as you have some blue SD saved up you should be good

Make sure to do the new cantina nodes, 20 zeta and omi mats for free

[cinder ledge]

Is there a better choice between Qui Gon and obi wan?

[cinder ledge]

yh already did them, got plenty of zetas and omis right now

[tepid plover]

Only if you wanna throw an omicron in the mix, in which case obi wan omicron makes conquest feats super easy

But you're gonna want to get both of them up and running anyways, their assault battle gives out insane rewards

[cinder ledge]

ahh alright idk if I would give him that one

[cinder ledge]

yeaa i saw that

Just thought about giving krrsantan the token

As he is 3 stars

And boushh already g12 7stars

[tepid plover]

If you can get her g12 out of the way easily then sure why not

[tepid plover]

It's one of the highest ROI omicrons in the game if you can spare it

[cinder ledge]

Oh okay that´s crazy

What exactly does it do

[tepid plover]

Basically as long as PoW is above 50% stamina it inflicts every debuff under the sun on the target enemy whenever an ally uses a special ability and that ally gains a ton of buffs as well

[cinder ledge]

Ohh okay that sounds very interesting actually

[tepid plover]

It basically makes CQ battles easier if you're struggling and is sort of a cheese to do feats that require you to "Inflict x debuff y times" or "Gain x buff y times"

1st omicron I ever applied, so far no regrets

[cinder ledge]

Damn okay

Good to know

He just got the token 😌

[cinder ledge]

for droids I think imma go Huyang

[tepid plover]

Huyang is pretty good if you wanna get GLAT

[cinder ledge]

Still cannot decide for droid and rebel token 🥲

[tepid plover]

You just gotta decide on the farms you wanna set up. If you do Raddus you're setting up Profundity and he's also a good slot in for Leia. If you do Saw you start up a rebel fighter team and can go for JKCK, who is a pretty important unit for JML

[cinder ledge]

Hmm yeah i have to look more into it

Got another question

Do we touch these?

And in General: If spending, what’s the most valuable stuff out there? Is the Episode pass up there?

[tepid plover]

Episode pass is the best non-lsb purchase value-wise you can make

Getting marquees to 4 stars gets you access to the journey guide unit at 4* which also gives you 2 relic 6 LSTs

There's also a bunch of good LSBs available for all players under 7M gp

[cinder ledge]

Damn that sounds crazy for 23 bucks

[cinder ledge]

Yeah that’s what I thought

[tepid plover]

You need the first 5 marquees tho, but it's doable with crystals too

If you don't wanna spend a single crystal tho you need 3 episode passes

[tepid plover]

Also getting those same marquees to 5 stars gives you an extra 3 of the same tokens, totalling 5 tokens for any non-journey and non-conquest legacy era unit

That basically means anything released before Huyang that isn't in proving grounds or the JG section

[cinder ledge]

How do you mean that? You mean per era?

[tepid plover]

Yeah eras last 12 weeks now and there's a journey unit released for each era, the era spans 3 episodes with 2 marquees each episode

So every era we get 7 units, 6 being marquees and one being a JG

[cinder ledge]

It´s crazy how much happened to the game those last years

[tepid plover]

This journey is gonna be Rotta the Hutt AKA Stinky from the clone wars movie AKA Jabba's son

[cinder ledge]

So one pass is 4 weeks right?

[cinder ledge]

haha that´s a fun toon to release

[tepid plover]

It's the past 6 months really, this system was implemented in November on the 10th anniversary

[cinder ledge]

At least it´s something new, I kinda like it

[tepid plover]

https://tenor.com/view/fighting-the-enemy-the-mandalorian-rotta-the-hutt-pedro-pascal-jeremy-allen-white-gif-8001308055277348426

[cinder ledge]

Oh yeaah he in the movie

[tepid plover]

Yup, it's a new republic era, setting up the Mando movie

Probably gonna be Mando as a GL soon too

[cinder ledge]

I like that system

[cinder ledge]

I understood that right?

[tepid plover]

Yes

[tepid plover]

Overall the best way to play rn with light spending is to get a good fleet to get top 5 in fleet arena, save up crystals for your marquees, buy the episode pass the day it releases so you get shards every day of the marquee event, spend crystals to get them to 5*, and in the end you will be getting like between 900 and 1500 era currency daily to get yourself some r5 tokens as well as getting 5 r6 tokens and all the new units at relic

For context an r5 token costs 3500 currency so you're gonna be getting a ton of those to feed into your other farms

[cinder ledge]

Damn so farming is way way faster than a few years ago

It feels like that

[cinder ledge]

Ahh alright so this is where my fleet problems kick in

[tepid plover]

If you choose to go full f2p at least you can do 4 stars through crystals and get 2 tokens and you should be around the 300-600 currency mark near the end

[tepid plover]

Build home one, it got a lifter back in fall 2025 and is the best non GL fleet you can get

Counters everything that isn't a GL ship and if built correctly can also beat executors oftentimes

[cinder ledge]

Only GL ship I got is Exec but just at 5 stars right now

[cinder ledge]

I ask all that cause I think about getting the episode pass because that acount has to get back up there and I wanna grind that game again

[tepid plover]

Even that can go a long way if you play your cards right. I've heard if you get the mk6 interceptor even without any upgrades or stars you can counter leviathans with exec

You should also try reaching out to the top 10 of your shard, they may have a discord set up for fleet arena

[tepid plover]

It will definitely help you out

[cinder ledge]

I appreciate you dude

[tepid plover]

Yup, I unlocked Baylan like 2 weeks ago, probably unlocking BKM tomorrow, Executor on Friday and after that I have a straight shot at Leia

[cinder ledge]

It´s way more fun when you have something to unlock that´s not like half a year in the future

I´m gonna get that episode pass today

It sound like a must have

[tepid plover]

I'm more scared I'm about to run out of things to unlock soon

[cinder ledge]

haha yeahh for real

I still got a lottt of stuff I need

[tepid plover]

I mean there's still like 9 GLs I can go for but I have finished most of the journeys now

[cinder ledge]

Yea that sounds nice, GL hustle is always the biggest

[tepid plover]

Gonna be a lot easier to take on nowadays with the tokens, I love not having to farm freakin URoRRuR'R'R to relics manually for Jabba

[cinder ledge]

yeah this is annoying as hell

the tokens are actually great for the game

[tepid plover]

It’s certainly improved the pacing of the game, as long as they can pump out enough content over time the game may get healthier but if they underperform you may end up reaching the endgame much quicker

[cinder ledge]

Yeah that’s true too. But I think they got a good base with this era Release format

So you say It’s still worth it buying the pass that is active right now?

[tepid plover]

Yes, it gives a shitton of rewards

It’s just gonna be a bit hard to catch up on R5-D4 shards if you decide to go for 5 stars

[cinder ledge]

What’s the difference again if he is 5* and not 4*

[tepid plover]

3 more kyber tokens and you can get him to relic 4 instead of relic 2

Also I think the level that gets you the zetas during the era is only achievable with 5 stars

And of course all these affect coliseum performance and income

[cinder ledge]

Okay good to know

[tepid plover]

You need to know anything else just lemme know

Also make sure you get in a good guild, it’s still a game-changer

[cinder ledge]

Yeah already found a great one

52 shards to go for that reva unlock

[cinder ledge]

Appreciate that dude

Probably gonna have some questions on what to omicron and zeta soon. Got like 600 zeta mats and 130 omi mats

[tepid plover]

Ayy that's pretty close

[tepid plover]

HOLY

That's enough for like 5 GLs

[cinder ledge]

Yeah Like 2 TBS with this guild

[cinder ledge]

Yeah it’s crazy how much it got

Just bought the Episode pass btw

[tepid plover]

Make sure to do all the episode quests so you can progress faster

[cinder ledge]

Yeah of course

[cinder ledge]

What’s the best way to spend Episode currency? Like those bronze ones.. I always buy the omicrons but is there something else that’s valuable?

Got a lot now from the episode pass

[lost lava]

Signal data is great especially if your buying the episode pass

[cinder ledge]

Light blue or green ones?

Or in general all of them?

[lost lava]

Both of them

[cinder ledge]

Alright yeah, they seem pretty expensive though

[lost lava]

Yes they are a bit but if you bought the episode pass you should be fine

[tepid plover]

Typically I buy omicrons, signal data and kyrotech. Mod mats in extremely rare occasions AKA when I desperately need to upgrade a mod like right before GAC lock in

[cinder ledge]

Aight probably gonna stay with omis for now

[tepid plover]

SD are kind of a must if you have the currency for them, unless you got a shitton saved up

[cinder ledge]

Yeah okay I´m gonna think about it

Should actually be no problem with the pass

Okay now let´s get to those other shops

This

And this

Idk the shops got way bigger those last years

I don´t even know what´s good to buy where anymore

[tepid plover]

The first currency is typically used for relic mats for r1-r5. The second is for g12 mats and r6-r7 mats. Third is for r8-r9 mats. 4th is for scrap gear for the scavenger

[tepid plover]

I use the 1st one for Malak Shards and the 2nd for negotiator shards. Third is mostly for kyrotech

[cinder ledge]

Yeah I got all the toons finished

[cinder ledge]

Ohh yeah another question: What‘s the main or best datacron income?

[tepid plover]

Hard conquest

It has some farmable nodes at the end of each sector

[cinder ledge]

Ahh yeah I remember

So I don’t understand how they are releasing zeb now and the other toons of this era?

Are they getting released the same way as R5?

[cosmic mulch]

Yes exactly. New marquee event first week, challenge second week

That's how all the era characters release

You'll need the first 5 to get the new journey Rotta at 5 *, all 6 era characters for 7 *

[cinder ledge]

So always a 2 week cycle and that six times?

[cosmic mulch]

Yep

[cinder ledge]

So it’s one Episode pass for 2 characters?

[cosmic mulch]

Yep

[cinder ledge]

Is there any way to play swgoh on mac?

[cosmic mulch]

I assume you have to run BlueStacks or another Android emulator

[tepid plover]

Is ea launcher not on Mac?

[cinder ledge]

Nah, I now got the account on bluestacks but It´s not running that good I don´t really like it

[cinder ledge]

How the heck do I know what datacrons and what sets are good?

Never cared

[tepid plover]

More word equal more better

[lost lava]

That and a lot of YouTubers have put out guides to see what they think the best datacron ones are

[tepid plover]

Palpatine cron is looking pretty good this time around

Same with some GR crons (the lvl 6 protection up one is insane)

[cinder ledge]

Like I‘m just leveling up those daracrons I get from conquest

And Idk what to focus on

[tepid plover]

If you get a Dark Side lvl 3 try going for the palpatine cron, otherwise try to get the one that gives you bonuses for protection up at level 6

[cinder ledge]

Guys what’s the best way to spend the conquest currency nowadays?

[tepid plover]

The current conquest unit’s shards if you’re aiming for a day 1 unlock, otherwise I spend it mostly on signal data and g12 mats

[cinder ledge]

Should I still spend my currency and mats on R5 or is it possible to use them on the next era unit zeb?

[cosmic mulch]

Yes the era mats can be saved. However I'd try and push R5 to unlock his abilities sooner as you want to be pushing the current Coliseum for more mats. Don't just save mats for days because you'll just be losing progress

[cinder ledge]

You mean R5 = Relic 5?

I don’t know the System yet

[cosmic mulch]

R5-D4 the current era character

You get daily loaned unit power, along with the upgrades to R5 - so you should be seeing good incremental progress in your Coliseum

[cinder ledge]

OHHH

Lol

Yeah of course

Thx

[tepid plover]

Yeah I don’t think you should save the mats for Zeb but it’s up to you

[cinder ledge]

Yeah got him to 44 now

[cinder ledge]

Is it worth to farm up Qui Gon and Obi wan for the assault battle?

I see they give some great relic mats

[slim dagger]

Absolutely.

[cinder ledge]

Alright I‘m gonna get that token for qui gon soon

They good with qamidala too right?

[tepid plover]

They’re amazing units and their AB gives amazing rewards so definitely

They go pretty well with Kelleran Beq until you get Quadme

[cinder ledge]

Alright perfect!

Two relic upgrades on Scout away from GL Leia

[tepid plover]

Awesome, make sure to save up some Shard Shop Currency

For the entire unlock and ultimate you’d need about 60k total

[cinder ledge]

Yeah I‘m on it!

[tepid plover]

Make sure to get on Jabba afterwards, gonna help your mods so much

[cinder ledge]

Yeah I will definetly take a look at my roster

Idk if I´m gonna go for the next GL right away

ALso one question: How does the thing with the next era unit work? We can´t really use him cuz he is mad underleveled right? Or am I missing something?

[cosmic mulch]

We'll get enough mats to upgrade him to your current era levels

That happens every new marquee

[cinder ledge]

Ohh alright so up to R5 level?

[cosmic mulch]

Yes

[cinder ledge]

So we can level both units at a time?

[cosmic mulch]

Yes that's what happens

[cinder ledge]

But independent of one another right?

[cosmic mulch]

Yep. You can focus one or the other or both. Usually just wait a bit for feedback - someone will figure out if a character is the best damage dealer for pushing

[cinder ledge]

Perfect!

Yeah I kinda thin Zeb is gonna have some more impact

[tepid plover]

My speculation based on what the era level rewards are I think we’re gonna get enough mats to take Zeb to level 35

[tepid plover]

Probably gonna replace R5 on most bosses, although idk how zeb does regarding debuff infliction so R5 might still be the way for Krayt Dragon

[cinder ledge]

But are we not using both units?

[tepid plover]

Not necessarily you just need to have a minimum of one unit that isn’t loaned on the team

You CAN use both but you only NEED one

[cinder ledge]

Ahh yeah okay! Cuz my R5 is like 10lvls ahead of loaned right now

Like I don’t know if I can keep both above my loaned

So yeah maybe one unit is better

How was it in the last era when more units released?

[tepid plover]

You’re gonna have plenty of mats coming in, in fact near the end of the era you have too many mats and not enough currency to level your units

[cinder ledge]

Ohh alright didn’t know that

Yeah okay I will see what to focus on

[cinder ledge]

So I just give him all of this?

[tepid plover]

Yep

[cinder ledge]

But now I feel like getting more dmg done without him..

So who should be getting the mats..
