Summary of "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.

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
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.
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)
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”

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

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.
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)
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).
