SWGOH Journeys!!! What Order Should You Farm Them???

Storyline / “Journey” context

The video frames Journey characters (and the player’s Light Speed token progress) as a roster-building path. While the speaker says not to focus on Galactic Legends’ solo journeys (“we’re not going to talk about this”), the core “story” is:

How the game historically taught an order of farming—versus how the “new” Journey / Light Speed token system changes the most efficient unlocking sequence.

---

Gameplay highlights & key ideas

• Light Speed token Journeys are usually easy early value Many Journey characters are effectively “given” early via tokens/quests and can be cleared with relatively early investment (speaker claims many can be auto’d).

• The main efficiency driver is overlap Later Journey requirements often come directly from earlier Journey farming—especially around:

  • Leia → Jedi Knight Luke → other endgame unlocks

• Ship farms are mandatory and time-gated The talk repeatedly stresses that ships should be farmed “early and often” because they take a long time and unlock/enable multiple fleets.

• Mod quality matters starting midgame Some Journeys (notably Grand Inquisitor) can be significantly harder if your mods aren’t good.

• Not all Journeys are equally transferable Some teams (e.g., Gungans) are “isolated” and work best only within their own faction shell.

Recommended Journey farming order (by “groups”)

Group 1 — “First direct farms” (start here)

These are positioned as the clearest, most straightforward early progression.

1. Leia Organa (first “big farm”)

   • Uses Light Speed tokens to unlock hard parts along the way.
   • The speaker calls her an absolute monster across nearly every mode:
     • Grand Arena
     • Territory Battles/Wars
     • Conquest
     • Proving Grounds

2. Bo-Katan Kryze / Bo-Katan Mandalore pathway

   • Uses Light Speed pieces to unlock parts, then tokens to reach either:
     • Paz Vizsla (favored due to two Zetas), or
     • IG-2
   • Also includes additional Light Speed progression.
   • Described as difficult (about 2–2.5 hours for the speaker), with a warning that bad mods can cause failures.

3. Balen Skoll

   • Recommended as early, even though the speaker admits they weren’t an early adopter.
   • Requires Merrin / Shin Hati / Great Mothers / Morgan Elsbeth and uses Thrawn’s Journey to reach the outcome.
   • Highlights:
     • Night Sisters / Great Mothers synergy and assault-battle usefulness
     • Grand Arena strength via the Merrin + Shin Hati foundation team (with related upgrades like “data crowns” mentioned)

4. Executor + (added) Millennium Falcon / Fleet-oriented push

   • Emphasizes early ship farming.
   • Executor is tied to bounty hunter ships and required vessels, including:
     • Hounds Tooth
     • Xanadu Blood not required
     • IG-2000 / Razor Crest (fleet store)
     • Specific Empire ships such as Punishing One and Slave I
   • The speaker claims Home One and early-obtainable ships help with Fleet Arena.
   • Adds Millennium Falcon as a “get the winning Falcon” bonus since bounty hunters are already being farmed.

Speaker shorthand: “first four” big Journey moves are these (with Millennium Falcon tacked on).

Group 2 — “Flows from Leia / Executor farming” (next unlock chain)

This group is described as a direct continuation: what you farm above unlocks many requirements below.

• Jabba the Hutt pathway

  • Ewoks from the Leia line
  • C-3PO unlock uses Ewok progression
  • Jedi Knight Luke progression
    • Speaker states this arc leads to Jedi Luke + Thrawn requirements for Jabba
  • Also notes Jedi Master Luke should be unlocked early if possible, even if later performance isn’t stellar

• Padmé + Geonosians note

  • The speaker argues Padmé doesn’t fit the “same overlap rules.”
  • Still recommends ensuring Geonosians are unlocked with Light Speed tokens because they’re needed for Dark Side Geo Territory Battles.

---

Group 3 — Midgame “Harder unlocks where ships still matter”

1. Star Killer (StarKiller)

   • Requires Dash Rendar (Outrider), Mara Jade, Darth Talon, Kyle Katarn
   • Key reminder: you must farm the Outrider/Dash Rendar ship.
   • Described as highly relevant for a long time, and able to kill Galactic Legends in multiple contexts (speaker mentions Palpatine, Seir Junda, and other variants).

2. Jedi Master Cal Kestis / Cal Kestis unlock

   • Framed as a lifter for Jedi Master Luke (not the core main solution, but helpful).
   • Also helps for Rise of the Empire Territory Battles, with guild progression speed mentioned as faster now than before.

3. Profundity

   • Warns to farm ships early for Profundity.
   • Specifically calls out also farming the Rogue One ship for synergy.
   • Speaker claims Rogue One can make the matchup far stronger vs Executor (near “auto-smash” after improvement).

4. Chimera

   • Included here but not prioritized because key prerequisite ships (e.g., related Improving Grounds and Tie Interceptor path items) take time.

5. Revan lines

   • Jedi Knight Revan / Darth Revan / Darth Malak
   • Praised for covering major assault battles and leading into later assets.
   • Speaker notes the Revan/Malak path naturally connects to Leviathan later (with a “~90%” tie comment).

---

Group 4 — “Back half of the game”: top-tier Galactic Legends + Leviathan timing

1. Supreme Leader Kylo Ren and Ray

   • Placed as the next stage.
   • Notes:
     • Kylo: offense-counter monster; can become more defensive with data/datacrons (datacron effects referenced).
     • Ray: remains strong in defense / Grand Arena; Ben Solo and unrelated freedom characters can improve her.
   • Mentions Finalizer + Rat ships as part of the overarching “don’t forget ships” theme.

2. General Skywalker / GAS unlock cluster

   • Framed as the late-game Galactic Legend unlock gateway.
   • Overlaps:
     • Jedi Master Kenobi has smaller overlap; GAS is required for unlocking multiple later legends (speaker lists several in the overlap web)
   • Mentions:
     • Jedi Master Kenobi is easiest to farm
     • Lord Vader is the biggest investment (clone farms + relic intensity)

3. Leviathan

   • Said to be largely independent from the GAS/lighter legends overlap and more tied to Revan progression.
   • Notes Leviathan should be unlockable around this stage.
   • Requires:
     • Darth Malgus
     • Fury-class/Interceptor obtained via Proving Grounds
   • Speaker even suggests Leviathan might come before some other Galactic Legends shown.

Group 5 — “Isolated / newer journeys at the end”

These are treated as later and/or more conditional.

• Jedi Master Mace Windu

  • Okay in Grand Arena/defense; more niche (territory wars relevance mentioned).

• Gungans (Jar Jar / Gungan shell)

  • Strong, but completely isolated:
    • Can’t be moved easily to other comps
    • Doesn’t combine well with other teams

• Dr. Aphra

  • Speaker is personally less impressed.
  • Says she shines especially when datacrons boost her (mentions a datacron era leading to strong defensive performance vs Jabba).

• Cassian / Spider-Man? (“Spider Mall”) / Road of the Hut (coming soon)

  • Treated as too new/uncertain to rank highly due to incomplete knowledge about performance and future requirements.

---

Final recommendation — “All Sith” (Sith Eternal “sith the turtle”)

• The speaker calls it the last and least Journey.
• Caveats:
  • You’ll likely unlock 80% of the Sith Eternal requirements “without even trying,” so completion may not be urgent.
  • Performance/usage concerns:
    • Can’t be on defense effectively (Wampa mentioned as a threat)
    • In Conquest/territory battles, it’s not consistent for high stars
    • In Grand Arena, it’s viable only in the right matchup, often needing Wat Tambor / armor support
• Also notes that Darth Bane-related balancing ended up making Bane feel like its own separate team, not a clean enhancement.

---

Key “strategy / tips” checklist (from the talk)

• Start with token-enabled, straightforward Journey clears (Leia, Bo-Katan, Balen Skoll) for large cross-mode value.
• Don’t neglect mods: hardest early-journey segments (Grand Inquisitor, some late Journey battles) can fail without good mods.
• Farm ships early and often (Executor, Profundity, Falcon, Finalizer, etc.) since ship prerequisites gate progression.
• Use Journey overlap intentionally:
  • Leia/Executor → Jabba/Luke/Jedi progression chain
  • Revan/Darth Malak → Leviathan

• Prioritize the easiest “lifters” if timing Galactic Legends (e.g., Kenobi earlier than Lord Vader because Vader is clone + relic intensive).

• Treat faction-isolated characters as late specialization (e.g., Gungans).
