the lack of group ally/enemy buff/cleanse/debuff or a pretaunt is pretty hard to overcome. I dont think that they will beat the zaul meta going on right now, the zaul/ep team will like get a daze and group stun before phoenix can even go and they can target a single toon if they want. does anybody have experience w/ high level game play w/ them?
they seem awfully expensive for a GW team...
Every time someone says that, I have to point out how much this team PROFITS off of getting debuffed. The lack of a group cleanse actually HELPS them. Look at their abilities.
i appreciate the health up from Kannan and zeb getting protection ... but i guess i'm worried about the zaul teams which tend to have dn, tfp, ep a lot ... you cant gain health when shocked (cant remember if they fixed it so cant gain protection too) or w/ health immunity buff. I think this would be a problem.
also, w/ no auto taunt (and tanks being slow ... except chopper who aside from evade, cant really tank) the other team can take out Hera or shock/daze/ability block (w/ boba)/reduce your cd w/ the sith squads.
again, just speculating as I have not seen high level play. i've got them to g7 and 2-4 stars and these are the "early" issues as I see them.
would love to hear experience from somebody that has used them at high level and has experience w/ them on offense and defense
Chopper taunts early enough and it will hopefully let kanaan taunt. Healing immunity and buff immunity combined, or shock would prevent their damage mitigation that happens as they get damaged. Shock isn't AoE so that's not really feasible.
The best way to take down the phoenix is with buff wipes and high damage. Chopper's protection up is a buff, not a heal, so healing immunity alone won't stop them getting "healed" as they are getting damaged.
If someone managed to sneak past Kanaan and Chopper and kill Hera, I'd laugh at them. She's the smallest threat on the Phoenix team. She doesn't have a unique to share. She doesn't improve offense or defense. She just gives a little tm, and that's all killing her would get rid of. Everyone else's unique will be shared until the person who owns the unique dies.
