Are Phoenix arena viable between 60 - 80?
So I’m really curious about Phoenix teams..between 60 - 80 are they viable in arena at this level vs classic rebels? If yes, 1. Is it possible to run Sabine instead of Kanan or is Sabine just t...

As far as Phoenix goes, no, do not sub Sabine or anyone else for Kanan. He is integral as his unique brings the counter attacks.
Whether they are viable or not at that level depends on your shard. In mine they would be destroyed in no time. I'm struggling to stay in the top 100 in mine with over 100K in power (RJT (G12), Zinn G11 - one piece from 12), BB8 (G12), CLS (G12) and Zylo (G12).
Sabine is not squishy to me; she usually lasts through the battles. I run Hera, Zeb, Sabine, Kanan and Ezra, but I don't run them in Arena. I know some people prefer Chopper, but I prefer the damage that Sabine hands out and her demolish can be pretty deadly. Her unique gives the entire squad +25%Crit Chance and +25%Crit Damage.
Chopper gives great boosts to protection and can assist when specials are used. However, Zeb also shares protection boosts (the main difference being that Chopper gives protection up when he takes damage). Chopper also shares a 15% of max health recovery at the start of each turn unique, so there is that too.
The difference in Chopper and Sabine is Defense/Offense to me. I go with offense because I feel like my Phoenix squad, without Chopper, has excellent survive-ability as they are.
Another thing to keep in mind that Phoenix Squad members are starting to get some love outside of the squad. I see a lot of Ezra's popping up on CLS teams in Arena, as well as Sabine's and Choppers too. Zeb, with his daze then stun, can also be a beast with his zeta.
Hope that helps some.
