Hard to commit to Hera and Phoenix Squad without knowing all uniques

Hera's leader ability seems great so far with Chopper and Kanan having pretty good unique abilities. But if there are not 2 other good Phoenix unique abilities then it's not really worth the investment to me.

I hope they release the other 3 Phoenix members soon so we can know if it's worth it or not to invest in these new rebel characters now or wait.

Has anyone invested in Hera yet? I'm curious if the "crit" rate on the 30 shard drop has improved at all.
  • Its not much of a gamble. Even if it were just kanan and chopper it would be insane
  • Agreed but I'm not sure if it's hundreds of dollars insane or not :smile:
  • The entire Phoenix squad with 70% counter chance, health gain on each turn and on resists... and thats just 3 of them with 3 more to go!
  • It is easy to commit really. Hera leadership skill alone is enough to see that this will be completely op. Combine all uniques, give them to everyone AND gain 20% TM for special ability. Sold.

    BTW Hera has highest resistance (334) in the game AFAIK, so Defense mods will do her good.

    The bad thing is that those charactes will be so op that they will be viable at 4 stars. So, the only challenge will be to pick right combo of Phoenix characters (there will be 6 of them initially and only 5 places in squad)
  • Anyone brave enough to try buying her Phoenix Squadron Pack? I'm hoping they get the message with these packs and actually increase the "crit" rate to something reasonable.
  • Depends on the other uniques people are too quick to call something op.

    As it stands, Sith are very likely to go first still and lay down daze, shock, stun, healing immunity, and a lot of debuffs that counter the Phoenix toons. Unless one of the uniques is an autocleanse of some sort, you're unlikely to be able to use many of their admittedly cool abilities.
  • Phoenix will definitely be meta, but i dont think they'll completely push out current meta toons
  • Also just noticed the wording of her leader ability. "Each Active Phoenix ally" So I'm assuming once they die the others stop sharing their unique ability, still sounds very powerful.

    I did both the 25 pack and a handful of the crystal packs. Have her at 5* with no extra shards, and I'm stopping here. One of the packs did indeed have 30. So, at least for me, it was worth it.
