SWGoH Day 6 (60 min of gaming a day)

Hey Star Wars fans!

Day 6, I've almost covered a whole week!

Session 1 (15 min)

Simmed the cantina battles for Ezra and did the battles for Sabine (some of them). I couldn't beat the STR challenge with Veers and Tarkin still. Bought all gear pieces for credits and some Chopper shards. And basically that's it for this session.

Session 2 (45 min)

I've added a column to the template which calculates whether you've applied all zetas on a character or not. As I'm having 45 min for this section I decided to go for doing all battles without Sim tickets in order to save some. Finally managed to get to the Events and pass as much as possible of them. I've unlocked some ships and some pilots for those ships. For now they are going to stay at level 1. I've finally managed to get both Hera and Talia to gear level 4. Now waiting eagerly for Ezra, Kanan and Chopper to be unlocked so that I can start gearing them up.

SWGoH Day 5 (60 min of gaming a day)

Hey Star Wars fans.

Session 1 (30 min)

Started with the Squad Arena battle, so that I can make 3 (10 min between each). I've been mainly focused to pass my challenges for gear and Ability Mats and also to use all my energy in LS, DS & Cantina battles.

Session 2 (30 min)

Missed the arena battles again, due to the fact that I went to a cinema. Still managed to keep around 7000 as you can see below. Also focused all my ability materials on Hera, and all 3 unlocked abilities are now at level 3. I'm feeling very proud with that achievement! I've been focused mainly on doing all hard battles for Sabine and Talia and after that gathering gear for Hera and Talia. Also passed some Rebels missions. Just follow the instructions, nothing complicated there.

💡Tips:

• If you have to choose which battles to make and which to sim at the beginning before you are earning enough sim tickets. Go for those with less energy to battle and those with more energy to sim!
• Keep your sim tickets for the challenges, cause they take more time than battles for farming (shards or gear doesn't matter).

SWGoH Day 4 (60 min of gaming a day)

Hey Star Wars fans.

It's day 4.

Session 1 (15 min)

I've been focused on passing some cantina, LS & DS battles. As the time is limited when I see I'm approaching the deadline I'll sim the rest of my energy.

💡Tips:

• When borrowing an ally be sure to get one with leadership ability which benefits your team.

Session 2 (45 min)

Got 25 crystals, because I was too busy at work and couldn't participate in the Squad Arena before the payouts. Still I'm not expecting miracles to get into top 100 so fast it will take some time.

Battles get more and more complicated as I'm gearing only the pillar characters, so I can't auto them anymore. Still able to 3 star them though! I managed to pass the Rebels (Basic Training Event) it's awesome!

💡Tips:

• Make sure you have 1 gear piece ready to equip for the next day, because it is required for the daily activities. You can see below I have one waiting for Hera.

SWGoH Day 3 (60 min of gaming a day)

Hey Star Wars fans.

Welcome back for another episode of 60 minutes a day SWGoH!
Let's get started.

Session 1 (15 min)

Very interesting day ahead of us, I started to farm Hera so that I can finally start gearing her up as well. The plan is still once I unlock her to move to the next character from Cantina (Ezra). In the mean time I unlocked squad arena. Currently only doing some battles to get my daily activities passed. Talking about daily activities let me give you some tips.

💡Tips:

• Just buy all the gear with credits in the Shipments store! This should continue until you have stockpiled at least 50 of both white and green gear, 100 for blue and 200 for purple.
• Pick easy opponents at the beginning of the Squad Arena. Usually those with much less GP than your team, or with less toons on the team.
• Use crystal energy refreshes (max 3 x 50) to speed up your farming process. I usually try to spend less crystals than I earn per day, that's why it's helpful to keep track of those stats.

That's all from session one, it was quite short after all.

Session 2 (45 min)

Finally started focusing more and more on gearing characters. Mostly Luke and Talia. The main idea here is to collect as much gear as possible from the battle nodes I have already unlocked. After that when I have them well geared and hopefully have several more toons unlocked I can focus on pushing the harder nodes in the Light & Dark side battles.

Here are some tips & tricks I've stumbled across during this session.

💡Tips:

• Focus fire on 1 target when doing Auto battles unless the opponents are really weak
• Preserve Sim Tickets for one of  your sessions to keep it fast (mine's are the mornings). I usually keep around 20 tickets. Used for cantina, hard battles & challenges.
• Gear is what makes your character strong, so focus there as much as you can without hindering your farming process.
• Abilities are the second most important thing, and leveling comes third.

One interesting thing I come across, not sure if it's a bug 🐞 or not but I'd like to share it. I decided to shift my Arena rewards time with 2 hours, so that I have enough time to focus on my main account. This done, the arena rewards were already distributed when I did that and after hour and some more minutes I got another rewards drop. Sad that we can only change time zones 2 per year 😁.

SWGoH Day 2 (60 min of gaming a day)

Hey Star Wars fans,

Here I am for day 2!
I'm pretty excited because I'll unlock guilds most probably today and will try the system with progressive guilds. Although my guild mates will welcome me with this account in our guild. Still, I want it to be as difficult as possible, so that you guys can see what it is. I might migrate to a different schedule for the weekends: 15 min in the morning, 15 min lunch time and 30 min before Squad Arena. I'll be doing this from the next weekend forward in order to be able to get the Cantina energy.

💡Tip: Speaking about Cantina, make sure that you use Royal Guard at the beginning, his Defense Up ability will make your characters much more durable!

Session 1 (30 min)

I've managed to finally start using sim tickets, which significantly increased the energy spending. With this speed I'll manage to use all my energy in the afternoon session. Started farming my first character from Pillar 1: Hera! Pretty happy with that result after all it's only day 2. The strategy for the Cantina farming, as there are 4 characters to farm there will be as follows: Unlock Hera & Ezra, then until I start to unlock Kanan, Sabine and Zeb (Chopper optionally) I'll start farming Qi'ra & Kylo Ren (Unmasked) in order to get them unlocked, so that I can start gearing them up.

💡Tip: Since I mentioned gearing up, at level 18 you'll unlock Allies! Make sure you find someone strong for an ally in order to be able to clear the stages in light side and dark side both normal and hard battles. This is crucial in order to 3 star them and start farming with Sim tickets. This approach will significantly reduce the time which is needed to spend your energy.

💡Tip: One additional tip. Once you start farming materials from challenges, be focused on the most important characters first (those from the pillars). As your materials will be scarce at the beginning, don't put ability mats on toons that you'll not use in the future!

Last but not least from my first session. I've managed to pass all daily activities. This should be your main target each day to pass all daily activities.

Session 2 (30 min)

The second session really got me excited! I've managed to unlock Sabine's Dark Side Hard Battle and Talia's Light Side Hard Battles (yes plural!). So, I'm farming them like crazy. Also bought my first Chopper shards from the Cantina store. Things are really lining up. The only problem I see for now is that I'm running out of Sim tickets, which will slow things down. I did skipped the challenges except those for the ability mats and the credits, but I'll catch up on them later on. You'll usually have tons of those in the late stage, so don't be hasty to buy such gear. The only one really worth buying are the Carbanties, as they are really hard to get by.

Have fun and May the Force be with you!

SWGoH Day 1 (60 min of gaming a day)

Hey Star Wars fans!

It's been a while since I last posted. It was a busy year and as we've progressed with my guild to finally beating the Heroic Sith Raid I've been quite busy coordinating and documenting guild members roasters and so on. Still, this time is now in the past and we're constantly beating the Heroic Sith Raid. So, I decided to take on a new initiative and here is day 1 of 60 min a day Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes gaming series.

First, let me share what these series will be about. I hear often that people don't have much time to play. That's perfectly fine in our fast paced days. So, I decided to prepare a series where I'll try to see whether it's feasible to be competitive with only 60 min per day gaming. I know it's a challenging task, but let's see if this journey can be successful. I've organized my gaming sessions to be 2 times 30 min each during the weekends and during the work days it will be 15/45 minutes. You can go for 4 x 15 or whatever suits your daily routine.

What I'll be doing in these series: 

• I'll try to stay ultra sharply focused as a free to play player. This means I'll be using Warrior's Pillars System and I'll put my PvP rewards around the time where I'll be actively playing my second session.
• I'll be using an excel template to track the progress on the pillar system, heroes galactic power (GP) and how much crystals I earn and spend per day (Crystal Flow, similar to Cash Flow 😊). Here is a link for you to download if you wish (the texts are vertical, so in browser it's not very pretty). And here is a link to my main account for SWGoH if you're interested to check. Similar excel to the one I'll be using for these series.

Okay! With this clarified, let's get to day 1. You start with 290 crystals of which you have no choice but to spend 190 for Clone Wars Chewey. And of course you'll have to get through the tutorial. It's kind of a slow process but keep updating your characters equally and focus on getting to level 4, where you unlock Luke Skywalker (Farmboy) who is the first character on whom is good to keep spending more resources. Focus on gearing and leveling him up first (he'll be needed in the second pillar).

Session 1 (30 min)

As you can see all characters are level 6 or 7 and with two being Gear Level 2 (the green color of their icons shows this). I managed to pass all Light Side 1 Normal and Hard battles.

💡Tip: To be able to do that faster, once you've unlocked the speed icon in the battles, put it to 4x and also use the Auto battle as much as you can. Those first battles are pretty easy to beat if you spend all your resources gearing and leveling characters.

Session 2 (30 min)

Here I unlocked my first Pillar 1 character (although they gave Talia for free from the achievements!). I also managed to put some gear on her and bring her to level 15. On the other hand, for the rest of the characters I brought Luke to level 15 and gear level 2 and all the rest to level 10. Which is nice! The main problem is that you will 3 star tons of battles, which you can't sim afterwards. Hope I can address this with sim tickets early enough, because this will speed up the process a lot.

Day 1 at a Glance

• Unlocked: Allies, Events, Challenges
• Pillar 1 Progress: 
• Talia: 3⭐(Stars), 15🔱(Level), 1👘(Gear Level)
• Galactic Power (GP): 4244 (increase of 4244 what a surprise huh 😅)
• Player Level: 13
• Crystals Balance: 385 (0 from yesterday, 575 earned, 190 spent)
• Cantina battles reached: 1-D
• Light Side Normal battles reached: 2-H
• Light Side Hard battles reached: 1-D (Unlocked, but can't progress to 2-A)

That's all from day 1. I've got an excess of both cantina and normal energy. 

Hope you all enjoyed it! Have fun and May the Force be with you!

Your's truly, 

Ksarhaz!
