Mods 2.0 in SWGOH: A Primer

FIRST OFF: THERE IS A TL;DR AT THE END OF THIS POST. If you just want a really quick set of advice, feel free to look there. If you want to hear the reasoning behind the advice, read the actual article.

Hello all! The purpose of this post is to discuss mod strategy at a basic, functional level. I'm not going to give you in-depth strategy for each specific character, or help you fine-tune your mod loadouts. The purpose here is basic instruction and strategy, so you can turn around and apply it to your account. The more you do this stuff, the better you get.

Here's a link to my own mods, in case you're wondering if I actually adhere to this strategy myself.

Here are the topics I want to cover:

1. The Mods we're looking for
1. General stats
2. Arena vs. Roster Mods
2. How to get mods, and what to do once you have them
1. Mod Energy (slicing vs. mod challenges)
2. Mod Store
3. How to find speed secondaries efficiently
3. Which mods belong on which characters (with pictures!)
