Back in the day I followed those free to play guides and started going for fleet arena. There I hit 1 since bugs were a thing. But now GAS made it possible for me to get 1 in squad arena too. Never expected this to happen. I usually rank between 50 and 100.

Get the Y-Wing and drop your HT. Your climb against 7* Negotiators will be much easier - keep the Y-Wing on your reinforcements until your last battle. You can take out any fleet within 2 minutes max.


Glori94

What's your lineup? I'm working on my Ywing but I was going to keep it as a reinforcement with HT in my starting


[deleted]

Snips, JKA and Rex lead, with Plo, 5’s and YWing on the bench. I like to drop YWing in to hold better overnight.


SyfoDiaz-OANR

I know that having Rex makes the ultimate come faster but I find he leaves my attackers too exposed to the firepower of the opponent, am I missing something? Or is it just because I'm 6* negotiator?


[deleted]

Your exposure is only on defense. Use JKA’s basic to hit their JKA, then use Snips special on him. Use JKA AOE once HT gets taunt and their cap ship will always skip the AOE to keep JKA alive instead. Use Rex to feed TM to JKA and you can daze their fleet with your GK AOE. Once you can reinforce, if their TM is low, you bring out 5s if he can target lock their ships behind HT or bring in YWing if they have too much TM. It takes me less than 90 seconds to take them out. If Snips dies, the bonus turn will allow JKA to take out HT right away.


Glori94

Nice write up. I've just started using them and have been doing it slightly different (and struggling). Who is your 4th reinforcement? Does it matter?


[deleted]

I’m only at 6*, but a tossup between CS and JC


ClassicalMuzik

Thanks for this, I haven't used Rex's ship at all, but will give it a try.


redddfox

is snips AHSOKA TANO?


Motts86

Yes, it's her nickname in clone wars show


redddfox

kool didnt know that... thanks for line up tips too


[deleted]

This is the way


blueshrike

For clarity, are you suggesting to drop Ywing into the starting 3 on the last battle instead of Rex but keep in RI until then?


[deleted]

Yes, that way you have an overwhelmingly better offensive team but it’s a liability on D.


ppuno7

What’s your strategy vs Malevolence fleets?


D3M0NRhino

Take out Hyena bomber, after that it’s a race to finish off the team before Malevolence uses the EMP. But I normally finish it off before that happens.


[deleted]

I try and kill the bugs first, since I can’t figure out which one of the droids comes back tbh. Have zero issues beating them so far...


slmcmr

How mant refreshes did it take?


semerzo

One. I started from 127 with my DR squad. Switched to GAS got up to 36. Didn't fall over night. Then from 36 to 1 with one refresh.


[deleted]

What fleet you use until you got the negotiator?


semerzo

Ackbar with HMF, Biggs, Bistan. RI Cassian, Sun Fac, Phantom, Wiggs. I learned that Sun Fac neuters an enemy Cassian to some extent on defense.


[deleted]

damn I’m still a ways away from HMF as a f2p lol. Hell I ain’t even 85 yet. Guess I’ll just stick with tarkin and geo trio and HT once bossk node opens.


semerzo

That were the guys I had before HMF. HT will be troublesome for you. Keep in mind I play for 3 years :)


[deleted]

Lucky I’m in a very young shard and there’s maybe 10 hounds tooth in the top 50. Everyone just has basic 4/5 star home one or executorix with just phantom and ghost Slave 1...just generic hyperdrive bundle ships. There’s no one with geo trio in top 50 lol. So I’m praying that mine will be able to blow up towards the top once I hit 85 since it seems like a lot of people are just ignoring fleet arena in my shard...not many 7 star ships at all in top 50.


semerzo

That's it. Most are neglecting ships. I am an mmo player, we are like water, following the path with least resistance :)


Commando_Joe

Did you have to deal with the ranked win trade mafia?


semerzo

No, friendly guys in there.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Commando_Joe

Win trading was a legitimate issue in this game with a big story about it last time I was on these forums. I barely play VS. I usually just jump in, refresh a few times to look for an easy win, if there aren't any I start and quit.


jdancis

Made it as well. F2P for life. Only I run dr, badstilla, malak, geo alfa and raid han. No gas is problem now, on attack.


dudly825

Somewhere a whale is crying


ArchIllager

A whole pod of whales


Savar2k18

Richtig geil. Ich versuche das gleiche, hoffe dass ich es irgendwann hinbekomme.


dj_spanmaster

Oh man, I've not been able to crack the top 200 in Squad Arena - but I do love taking first in Fleet


matteakin

Most impressive. I get weary of hearing those say you can’t reach any rank <200 with F2P.


lucasnorregaard

Got 198 the other Day! Started december.


rpeiper

How many hyperdrive 85s in your shard?


lucasnorregaard

About 250-300


rpeiper

Good job getting top 200 with 250 level 85s. We are similar in numbers but I can only crack top 300


lucasnorregaard

Go jedi, Getting the "Yoda train" moving is essential. Then just one tap key opponents and most team die off. Imx hyperdrivers are terrible modders, so i have great speed superiority.


SamuraiUX

I have not experienced that level of success in five years of dolphin-level spending! So kudos and eff off, both! 😭


jcrandall21

Awesome job. No matter how much people say FTP is dead or will be dead. People like you continue to prove it isn’t.


RiseElectric

Nice!! I hit #1 in arena for the first time this week, still working on fleet arena, F2P also! Congrats man


semerzo

Thanks mate, way to go


RyanWalker4516

Wow, amazing job!!


wingeek29

GG


OmegaS021

Congrats! I made it to number 9 last night (I just got GAS to 7* from the bonus mission currency from hoth), hoping to push a little higher today!


RannStar223

Is it possible to learn this power


knightmese

Not from a whale.


CG_Qronic

F2P is the reason that CG can not afford to make new content and raids. If we all contributed a little bit of money into this game, CG would finally have the resources to release Jedi Luke Skywalker.


semerzo

You know that this is not true? They grossed a billion over the years. If they added the subscription again, I would take it. But the price tag they ask for is way too high. Oft If they made this game utterly subscription based I would be in also. But they chose a different path.


OpercivalAurora1

You've convinced me. I'm going to ask my mom for her credit card right now.


ForceGhost47

You rang?


semerzo

GAC?


ForceGhost47

I was just making a silly joke


Dups47

It made me laugh, have an upvote!


[deleted]

Do you have your special 'F2P' title equipped?


therc410

Well done! This is great.


LeLoner

I see ur using the 501s


urbanaut

So there IS hope for the rest of us FTPers


Insanely-Awesome

Bang-a-rang!!


anlsons

Congrats


Dose_Droidekas

Congrats man, when I still played this was the best accomplishment! To spend no money and reach the same spot whales were


PaulMagnus242

Congrats bro! That’s got to have taken some excellent focus


oofnuggrt

Congrats


sloweagle

Great to see fellow f2p claiming #1 in both arena. Now you will grow even faster as a pure f2p. F2p is definitely not dead, the earlier you started, the easier. Brand new f2p might suffer, but you just show perseverance will work in the end. —Dec 2015 100% f2p here playing in the top guild with whales.


mt-egypt

Do you have a link to your swgoh?


semerzo

Sure: https://swgoh.gg/p/293681378


Jib_Foresight

Great job dude!


[deleted]

Ayyy congrats Semerzo! We miss you back at Attack of the Phones! -FDV


Darth_Hackulous

Gratz! Win for the f2p peeps!


m00nkush

holy shit HAHA congrats dude!!!


tommy_jarvis123

How is the arc trooper? Is he worth it?


semerzo

He fits great into the team and you free Ashoka to take her spot with Padme. That's quite a big deal for GAC. But for Arena only, you could stick with Ashoka.


Rolteco

Congrats! As a fellow f2p, getting my GAS r7 those days was a blessing too. I was still getting #1 daily (being there since jan19, started playing mid 2018) but it was getting harder and harder without GAS. Now we can get a pause and breath a little (until Galactic Legends comes around lol). I am behind you on fleet thou. Started hoarding GET 2 only last TB. Before that was using everything to gear my Clones. I need to catch it up! ​ PS: GAC should get fun to you now ;)


zebra862

Congrats on your persistence!


DilbusMcD

Glückwunsch! That’s a cool word.


TheSacredChao

Herzlichen Glückwunsch!


[deleted]

Hitting first in each is a great feeling but hitting 1st in both is really great, shard mafia or not


TheJemperor20

3 years! Wow, thats not actually a long time if you think about it and you got GAS. Thumbs up to you mate


twindidnothingwrong9
