Phoenix is so overpowered.

I have done a squad arena battle where I have a full sith team: Nihlus, Sion, Vader, Maul, and Palpatine, and they are all gear 7 or 8, and I fight a phoenix team, I use an AOE, and bam, counter attack mayhem. I feel like Hera's leader ability should only grant half the affects.
  • If you have Thrawn, fracturing Kanan is also helpful.

    But yeah, I don't know if EP or Phoenix came first, but regardless, EP is a natural counter to Phoenix.
  • If palps aoe gives you trouble then just make sure to shock everybody you can. Thats what i did before i worked my palp up and it seemed to work well. I would always try and kill herra first because her revive is annoying, then i would go immediately for kannan.
  • I thought this was a joke at first, don’t know if I should be disappointed that it isn’t. Phoenix is literally at the bottom rung when it comes to power. You can beat a Phoenix squad with just about any team out there. Palps with Vader runs through them like nothing. Add tarkin and TFP, Phoenix melts like butter.
  • @Ct214476 I'm assuming that you're relatively new to the game, right? Phoenix are actually very easily countered by using palpatine in the leader spot. If you have your resistance squad geared past g7, and have Finn zeta'd, that's an excellent counter as well, and resistance is pretty easy to gear and level for a newer player. Good luck, buddy!
  • Nightsisters, imperial troopers, and prepared scoundrels will walk fully geared pheonix on auto also.
    Being honest, as pheonix is one of my favorite factions.
  • Rebels is my favorite light side, scoundrels is my fav neutral,and empire is my favorite dark side faction.

    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.
