Here's why Thrawn is overrated:

So where does he belong and why, what is it about that image that makes you think he doesn't belong there?

Good one.

I've seen him listed in the same category (Grandmaster) as Darth Revan, Jedi Knight Revan and Malak. There is no way in any Universe that Thrawn is in the same league as these 3. Nice try.

His lead is questionable, his damage dealing is medium, he's squishy, and if you have him modded very fast as many players do, his Fracture (his one very useful & reliable feature) won't last that long.

And don't even get me laughing about Phoenix. Farming them is like most guys **** their beer money away on Coors Light. They don't even get used after a certain point.

My advice: Go straight for the Revans

I would put him up there with the characters you mentioned. Also, apart from some Malak solos on GA, trying plugging one of those guys into random teams and see how they do, they aren't as great without their supporting cast. I'd argue Thrawn has far more utility.

Hahahahahahaha!!!!!

Try Thrawn (mod him properly first) , DR and JKR as a fifth in each of these teams:
CLS rebels
Traya lead sith
EP empire
JTR Resistance
First Order
and for the fun of it, Ewoks.

Let me know which is the most useful.

Heck, toss him into a Darth revan team and watch him make up for a slower BSF in a mirror. Works wonders

But that's what Thrawn is: The best backup QB in the game. Me, I like having Brady & Montana.

What GAC division are you in that you only need 2 teams?

Ahnald lol.

Thrawn is an immense toon and his fracture alongside TM swap / cleanse / protection regen special makes him a must in every roster.

Maybe yours would be better if you stuck on a zeta and have him more than +90 speed?

His base speed is 150+

He means the mods you have only add 90 speed. You need to be aiming for 120+ as a minimum I reckon. 90 is heartbreaking.

I've had Thrawn around 300 before (then used those mods elsewhere). He's a good character on his own, but farming Phoenix to get him when you could farm better characters to get the superior Revans & Malak, makes no sense to me unless you don't care about getting crushed & just want to farm for sentiment.

Part of the issue is thinking about farming order in the mindset of a veteran player. Sure, phoenix are not great and the Revans are elite teams, but for a new player Phoenix leads you to so many things (including the single best plug and play character in the game):

2 legendaries that can form a core of a solid B level squad(EP and thrawn)
2/5 of a legendary who is key to a Revan squad (gmy)
A solid capital ship for early fleet arena
The core of a very good fleet meta lineup (phx ships and other rebels used for Chimera)

That is a solid list of valuable outcomes from phoenix, which while no longer the only good option for starting, is still the best imo

Whoa, whoa, whoa, so Leef doesn't go out with the wrong shopping list:
You're better off getting Bossk and his ship right away (and a couple other BHs to have a good BH team over Phoenix, as well as the requirements to get Han's Millenium Falcon - are they ever going to fix his engine from stalling?)
And I think you just need any jedi to get GMY

I'm one of the very few players who unlocked both malak and gas upon release while being completely f2p, so you don't have to worry about my shopping list.
If you worried a bit more about your own shopping list you wouldn't be here blaming others for the choices you made.
Honestly though, you don't seem to understand why people advice phoenix for starters. It appears you just think drevan and jevan are better than thrawn, so the advice for phoenix has to be bad. You could still very well be right about phoenix not being the optimal choice, i honestly don't know, but i wouldn't take your word for it based on your comments in this thread. Mostly because the alternatives you're suggesting are out of reach for new players untill they've got the required player level.

OP, you don't have a clue. I actually started an alt recently and I was going to try and work a strategy that doesn't involve the Phoenix team, but the fact was it doesn't make sense to ignore them in the beginning. These characters are easily accessible right away, have duel tags (rebel, jedi, phoenix) that allow for multiple legendary events, and will be useful in ships.

You just don't want to hold onto Phoenix too long, and if you did, that's your fault.

Man, I was insulted twice in this post. First I love Thrawn, second I am currently drinking a Coors Light.

Erm, there's a journey guide now. New players can pick their own path to what they want in regards to sqds. I got the big smurf 2nd time around after initial release as I never watched rebels or whatever cartoon, smurf and phoenix were from.
Is Thrawn over-rated? Possibly now, with the progressive power creep. At 4.7mil gp, do I use him in GA, TW, tb? Yes.

But you are ignoring that the same team gets you everything on the list, and instead proposing to farm 2 other teams, and not get the core of an empire team (or the better capital ship for BH). But i guess if you want to build a less efficient roster, I look forward to meeting in GAC
