Phoenix is so overpowered.

Lol you have emporer Palpatine and you can't beat pheonix??

You have Maul on the team which applies mass daze, use it first. EP takes away the healing. You just need a better strategy.

It's hard to get Maul to go first because he is so slow. And all those Sith are big on AOE which invites mass counter-attack from Phoenix. So you have to boost your potency to land those controlling debuffs like Stun and Daze. That means Palpatine lead. Also, Rebels and Jedi take passive damage from Palp's leader ability, so using him vs. Phoenix is really the most effective lead.

Vader gets huge TM boost vs Phoenix, so he goes first with Force Crush. Palp lead ability gives Vader a ton of bonus TM, so he goes again with Culling Blade. Then Palp should go next with his AOE; if his potency is up enough, he should get a stun or two (or more!), and might even get another bonus turn. Now you can AOE with Sion and Nihilus ... Sion should go first to protect Nihilus. If Sion lands some Pain, he might get another turn too.

When Maul finally gets around to moving, you can lay down the Daze which will shut down Phoenix if they are not already. Maul is very strong against Jedi, so try to use him to attack Ezra and Kanan.

I actually just spat coffee... pheonix are nothing to papa palp, his aoe literally shuts them down, get a bunch of speed on him and your golden

Ok thank you guys so much!

This post made me laugh

Phoenix is laughably underpowered if anything. They’re great for starting out, but I think they suck as a faction. The only reason I’ve seen people gear them up is for Thrawn/Chimaera, or they like the characters, or for Ezra since he’s very important for a Jedi team under Bastilla. You just gotta know who to kill first (Ezra) and you’re solid.

I disagree that they're underpowered, but they're certainly not arena material past early game.

On TW defense, a good Phoenix team requires an at least relevant team to get through. In Territory Battles, they're a solid asset. They're a solid P2 Sith team if you push them. Their ships are now quite good.

They aren't gonna set the world on fire, but they're good from the word go, and never stop being good.

Yah man!

First off. Better be running EP lead, get maul out for someone useful. Up EPs potency to land stuns, kill kannan first to stop counter attacks.

Edit: or keep maul for daze, forgot about that.

Then don't use an AoE except for Vader's and Sion's. Get Palp's speed and potency up. Shock will prevent the heal they get from getting debuffed. Kill Chopper first. He's annoying and his unique really helps their survivability. Finally, if your Tarkin is as good as your Maul, then sub him in. His TM removing AoE is great, but his mass offense down early in the fight makes all those counter attacks pretty useless.
