Tired of constantly being placed against tougher teams

Just saw your swgoh.gg, and I think you are trying to do too much at once. You need to focus more.

Try running a team with your strongest chars for now... Phasma, Rey, luminara, JC, and Vader/dooku. Switch out Vader/dooku for thrawn if fighting NS with a zombie. It's not ideal, but with 2x healers it may be viable.

Choose ONE thing and work on that till it is strong enough to carry you. NS is really good for that, can do GW easily at level 85(even if the characters aren't 85 yet), and is the one you are closest to having fully functional imo. MT, assaj, daka, Talia, zombie. Start leveling them up while you work on activating daka. Don't gear your zombie any higher than he is right now until you've had a chance to examine all sides of the zombie gearing debate (there are 4 schools of thought).

Start working on getting 5x 4* dark side ships and pilots. If you can choose ones that you want to being to 5* even better because after that you need 8x 5* ships of any alignment. This is critical, as the ship ability mats challenge is how you get Zetas.

Once you can complete GW regularly, then you need to decide on a plan of progression. Feel free to PM me if you want more details or to discuss it.

I would have thought Phoenix Squad was my most complete and most are now 6*. My NS, only Talia has more than 4 or 5*. Just wondering.

Stars are nice, but they basically just give you a multiplier on the stats you get per lvl, so they are not the be-all/end-all. Phoenix needs maxed skills including omegas(at least on the uniques) to be able to carry you, and they do relatively low dmg though their survivability is good. NS, on the other hand, functions well even if their skills aren't fully maxed. Gear wise the NS aren't bad, with zombie low(not necessarily a bad thing), MT and Talia at 8, and assaj and acolyte at 7.

You really need either daka or MT's zeta leader(or both) to really make them shine, but shine they do...

Not sure if you've looked since the rework.
Talia's basic attack also does an aoe heal(NS only), first special clears debuffs and aoe heals.

Assaj's special heals and clears buffs on enemy, and every time anything dies (including your zombie,at least once per turn) she gets stronger. My strat with NS vs Phoenix is usually wait till assaj can one-shot them. ;p

Zombie taunts at the end of every turn and resurrects as long as there is any NS alive. (If you don't have daka, pair him with acolyte)

Daka has a good stun on her basic and her heal has 100% chance to res one dead NS, and then 35%(non-NS) or 70%(NS) chance to res each other dead party member.

And MT is just ridiculous. Take some time and read her skills.

To put this in perspective, at 53k my NS team took out a 96k GK team last TW

Ok.

First: you're level 85, so your teams should be too.

Second: you're spreading yourself too thin with half leveling and half gearing toons. If your main concern is GW then focus on your Phoenix team, you don't need Sabine. Resistance is nice for GW too but you're a ways off from having them ready. Next for you is Empire for R2D2 then its the toons for CLS.

Third: stop investing in "useless" toons. Ones like JC should not be a priority for you right now.

Fourth: Phasma is a great default leader for any team due to the amount of bonus attacks she gives. Ive used her since this game started and im in the top 200 of my shard. So she isnt a meta killer but she can hold her own. Keep working on Kylo ren as well,his AOE saves me aganist nightsisters every battle.

Lastly, on youre arena team, you should have a taunter there. Put them in place of JC as you dont need 2 healers. And you can replace dooku with Vader, or Boba. Boba will make dealing with nightsister way easier for you

Hope this helps.
