Best/Worst Phoenix members?

Well sabine has an AOE that cannot be countered or evaded... This is a rare thing. And it imposes multiple stagger And expose. Plus if zetaed it's cooldown is remarkably shortened.
If Chopper still outweighs all this, then so be it.

Chopper is just a secondary tank that occasionally remove buffs and give buff to enemy. And some marginal protection regain.

This is very untrue.

Chopper assists, gives out buffs and reduces others cooldowns on basic, taunts, removes buffs, TM reduction, self heals protection, stuns droids, and his unique is 15% heal to start turn & 15% protection up when damaged. He has so much utility built in there, the cooldown reduction alone is massive considering how often he attacks/assists/counters.

I think you either leave out Ezra or Sabine from the main team, as they easily have the 2 uniques that are the easiest to part with. I left out Sabine normally, since Ezra is far more effective without his zeta then Sabine is without hers; plus he has dual tags.

That being said, if you're farming/gearing 5 of them you might as well farm up the 6th since she pilots Phantom; which is required for Chimaera.

Well i didnt see Sabine in guild shop, since rework, so any new player should go for chopper, its gonna take forever to farm Sabine from a single hard node.

If your only farming Phoenix to unlock Thrawn you should not farm Sabine at all. If you plan on taking Phoenix to G12 you will NEED ALL 6 of them.

Best - Ezra without zeta, Sabine with zeta

Worst - chopper

Why are you guys even mentioning sabine? It's not like sabine is a realistic option for someone who's starting over. In the long term, sure, but in the meanwhile you're stuck with the other 5 phoenix members.

I didn't think we were assuming ftp
Also, I think there is plenty of time before next thrawn event to farm her even ftp

One hard node and thrawn will most likely be February. How can you do that. Spend crystals to refresh the hard node every day?

that's my bad, i always assume f2p.
No way there's enough time to farm sabine in time for the next thrawn event without spending money/crystals on refreshing that node though.

Early on its better to exclude Chopper around G8 but at higher gear levels I think he could be a good replacement for Ezra or Sabine.

If you continue with them then with Zetas much later it also makes up for the loss of damage since Zeb can hit really hard, and its better to exclude Ezra since Sabine zeta is better.

Farm them all. Leave out Ezra and put him with rebels or Jedi.

The AI for Phoenix squad is GREAT, this point seems to have been largely missed. They are VERY well-suited to TW defense, once you get that far. Chopper is great for defense, he (she? It?) really adds a lot of survivability. The KEY with Phoenix is that they're really a squad that wins with the war-of-attrition style of play, similar to the triple-cleanse teams. They don't hit particularly hard, but will self-heal and slowly wear you down, and Chopper is better than either Sabine or Ezra for that roll.

Plus, Chopper plays well with other droids, and even under Jedi Training Rey. My recommendation is to leave none of them out of your repertoire
