SWGOH Resource Flowchart 2.0

The most oft-focused resource in the game is energy, and how to spend it. Light Side and Dark Side nodes will be your primary source of gear, and a large number of important character shards.

At a rate of 10 energy per hour, each account will naturally generate 240 energy per day. There are three separate bonus energy payouts of 45 energy each, so if you're catching each of those regularly, you'll generate 375 energy per day without having to spend any crystals. Crystals are a precious resource, and when possible, should be stockpiled. That said, early in the game especially, crystals are best used by purchasing energy refreshes, either in normal energy or cantina energy.

When farming Light Side/Dark Side nodes, I recommend balancing hard nodes for shards, and normal nodes for gear - 10 to 15 attacks or sims on hard nodes is a good target, with all remaining energy dedicated to working towards gear. That said, there are times where you may want to focus more on gear, or more on shards, if you're very close to finishing up a team, or meeting requirements for a specific event. That's ultimately up to each player how to manage that balance.

The following pages will walk you through the path I personally recommend in these nodes.
