CHARACTER STRATEGIES - Captain Phasma, Kylo Ren and First Order Officer
Overview
Captain Phasma is a tremendous support unit that can grant allies extra attacks, whether by increasing turn meters with Victory March or debilitating the speed of the opposition with Fusillade. With her leader ability Fire at Will, any of your units that attack, especially ones from the First Order, may randomly call in an additional ally to assist in attacks.
Where to use
In Squad Arena, responding sooner rather than later can turn the tide of battle. Increasing turn meters with Victory March and slowing down enemies with Fusillade will allow your slower, high-damaging units to have an early combat advantage by hitting your opponents with their special abilities.
Unit Synergy
Of all the First Order units, Kylo Ren creates the best synergy of offensive power when supported with meter fill of Victory March from Captain Phasma. The combination of power plus speed creates a devastating combo that can ensure your Squad Arena victory.

Overview
Kylo Ren is a versatile attacker that can inflict Healing Immunity and Damage Over Time with Ragged Cut. However, this unit really shines with his Unstoppable passive that resets his skill cooldowns whenever he receives damage. He can then unleash AoE havoc with Lash Out, which also grants him a Retribution buff that allows him to counter any enemy that hits him.
Where to use
With the constant battery of attacks you’ll receive from Squad Arena, you’re guaranteed to have Kylo Ren activate his Unstoppable ability, allowing him to blast the enemy side with Lash Out almost every round, while counter attacking with his Retribution buff.
Unit Synergy
Poggle the Lesser is an excellent support unit that can buff a unit’s attack for 3 turns. By applying this benefit to Kylo Ren, this will ensure that all his Unstoppable AoE attacks and Retribution counter attacks will obliterate the opposition successfully.
Overview
While primarily touted as a support unit, First Order Officer is notable for providing allies with the beneficial Advantage buff, as well as manipulating the Turn Meters of your own team and the opposition to capitalize on speed.
Where to use
Turn Meter control is one potential strategy in gaining the edge for Squad Arena, whether it’s increasing the meters of your own allies with Marching Orders or slowing a powerful enemy down with Pinning Shot.
Unit Synergy
While the First Order Officer has a stronger support kit, his basic attack called Capitalize can gain increased damage for each ally that has the Advantage buff. In this instance, Captain Phasma becomes a great synergistic unit capable of granting the entire party with the much needed buff for the First Order Officer.
