TL;DR Quick Tips
- Only sim/battle from the Mod Challenges
- Sim from only the highest mod challenge tier available; don’t sim Tier I if you’ve got Tier II or III available
- Complete the Health and Defense challenges and 3-star their Tier III challenges to open more mods in the Mod Store
- Save credits by only buying colored and 5* mods (Tiers 5E-5A) with the Speed secondary showing
- When in doubt, the Protection primary stat can be useful for just about any character
Dos and Don’ts
- Do create matching mods sets where possible for set bonuses
- Don’t be tempted to farm from Tier I or Tier II challenges. The trade-off isn’t useful in the end.
- Don’t get discouraged by the lack of Speed secondaries; this is the longest grind of the game
- Do plan to spend at least 3 consecutive weeks farming only mods to get a good set of quality mods for a full Arena team
- Do assign all mods with Speed secondaries and all Speed arrows to characters so that they will show up on swgoh.gg
- Don’t waste resources slicing mods with mediocre stats or stats that won’t see a large increase
Still Struggling?
Mods are very complicated and selecting the best ones available to outfit an Arena team can be as much of a general challenge as it is time-consuming. If you’re still unsure how to best mod your teams, or if you’re just looking for someone to show you how it’s done, please consider the Gaming-fans.com Consulting Service.
