If you're running Palpatine in arena, he should be the leader and your other characters should be either Empire, Sith, or interchangeable. Since a Phoenix team needs Hera to be leader, I don't know a way to fit the Emperor into your current team without wrecking their synergy. For a different vibe to your existing team, I'd throw in a more interchangeable or plug and play character, like Thrawn or Boba Fett. They're good on any team and can fit a role even in an established team.

Just for funsies I used 2 of my arena battles way before payout time to see how it would work. Shock is just disgustingly powerful against Phoenix. The damage done, especially to kanan and ezra, along with healing/buff/tm immunity leaves only protection to get through. Hera (l), ezra, zeb, kanan, palpatine with all assists going to palpatine. Land shock first on kanan, the only cleanser on the team, and you have free reign to do what you want. Save backup plan and protection ups for palpatine if needed but with all the shocks/stuns you should be fine.

Defense, on the other hand, is probably an entirely different story. Palp won't have the health/protection regen, terrible AI, and players will rush him down. It was fun though. I'll see how far I fall with him slotted before trying to climb again for payout.

Can't wait for my empire squad to get rolling. Might even spend some saved up shards for shore.

Edit: maybe switch out zeb for chopper on defense for another taunt to help palp.

Removing one phoenix from the squad reduce his potential so much imo. I have two guys on my shard who run Phoenix + Palpatine/Thrawn as their fifth instead of Chopper/Zeb and they are easy targets. From my point of view, the key for those as me who are in a fresh shard is start farming your Empire as soon as your phoenix are 7*.

My arena shard is between 40k-50k power and a few guys who are currently running Empire squads with 25-30k of power are wrecking us down easily due to the amount of phoenix/NS squads.
