I have currently stopped working on my arena team which is Llando, boba, chrriut, shore, sthan. I sit at around 100-50 rank in arena and i have started working on my Phoenix for the thrawn and EP event. My problem right now is that i stand no chance what so ever against similar level and geared phoenix teams in arena. since my arena shard is very new, 1/3 of teams in the top 100 are phoenix, 1/3 are wiggs, and 1/3 are trooper or sith teams. My question right now is should i try to 7 star all my phoenix toons and have them as my arena team, or wait till the thrawn event is closer(about a month) to farm the phoenix team and just focus on my current squad for now?Here are my heroes for reference. https://swgoh.gg/u/kingchunk/

Do you know when Thrawn is returning? Nope.Do you think you will get a notification an entire month before the event? Nope.Don't "wait" to farm somebody. If you want the character, start farming the necessary toons as soon as possible.

Farm to 7 now, youll be glad you did.

Dude, you're only like level 59. Even if you farmed the whole Phoenix Squad, you're not likely to unlock Thrawn at 7*. And more importantly, is Thrawn going to be in your Arena squad when you unlock him? You need to do some proper planning as to what your Arena squad is going to be for now until you're 85.

They are on rotation. The first time Palpatine's event came, it came with 3 or 4 days notification.
Same with Thrawn. Second time will be no different, just as it was with R2. So no, you won't be getting a notification this soon. You will get a week at the very most, which is nothing.

With that being said, you only need Phoenix at 5*. You won't be able to 6* and 7* him at your current level. You might be able to unlock him though.

Looking at the general trend, Rebels is the way to go and Commander Luke Skywalker is way too important. I'd stick to your current Rebels and farm up the characters needed for CLS event instead. You should be close to level 85 by the time the event comes back around.

P.S. Old Ben doesn't need to be highly geared or leveled, just needs to be 7*. So you can continue gearing ST Han who is in your current Arena Squad anyway.

There's a lot of CLS counters in arena already. Since you're in a young shard even a 5 star Thrawn will help you a ton. And getting him at 5 star is extremely easy. I would go for it and if you can get him at 7 then by all means do it. He is a monster in raids.

In your position I'd farm pheonix, they will get you 2 empire legendaries, from there go with With 3 more empire to 7☆ so you can get r2, then work on Leia sthan old ben and farmboy Luke, you could then work qgj n jka into that to give you 5 jedi if you want yoda.

What ever you decide though make a long term plan and stick to it

Go Phoenix all the way.

Thrawn is NOT a character to miss out on, even if you can only get him to 5*.
