Do I need Phoenix for ships?

Here is a resource for you. They are still a part of the current meta frequently used as reinforcements.

Awesome thanks

Best Line up : MFalcon, Hound's Tooth, Biggs, First call Phantom II, Ghost and finall Bistan.

So yes, farm them ;) My pheonix are not high as **** but with decent gear, they are still very effective in ship arena...

I used them both in my fleet long before Falcon came out. I've always thought they were two of the best ships in the game. Phantoms reinforce will always be useful.

What's your win rate?

Cassian makes it essentially 100% (save a once-a-month dodge fest or something else screwy) so I find it hard to believe the best lineup doesn't include it.

Phantom was totally worth gearing the pilots the minute Ships 2.0 dropped.

They are also required for Chimera

Yes, the absolute best fleet includes Phoenix.

As for the rest of the game... they aren't meta, but I think they're a very good investment. Besides ships you need them for Thrawn, so you're going to have them partly geared anyhow. In the age of dead GP screwing you in Grand Arena I don't like putting anything into characters that I won't take to g12, and put in a solid team.

They are also VERY good even though they aren't meta. People underestimate them because they aren't elite, or because they regularly face half geared, poorly modded versions. I'm in a situation where due to my GP I need 7 defense teams in 5v5 GA. Add 7 more offense teams, and a couple of emergency cleanup teams, and that means 16 good teams. They are DEFINITELY top 16 at least. lol

In my most recent GA I was 2-0 going into the last round. My opponent and I both had Darth Revan and Malak, and all the other high end teams. We both cleared each others boards perfectly... except he failed against my Phoenix. I have a small number of strategic g12 pieces on them, plus Zetas on Kanan and Sabine, and solid mods (good sets with 6-12 speed per mod). After we both hacked through our harder teams that is the kind of team that will trip someone up, or require that they burn something decent to take it out. They single handedly have won several GA rounds for me when we've both planned for each other's top teams, and it becomes a test of how deep our roster strength goes. I'm VERY happy I took them to g12.

Interesting thanks. So maybe they are worth the gear.

I’m stuck at g8 with 5 stun guns to progress 3 of them to g9 ?

You definitely want Phantom at least. Ghost is great also but Phantom letting you reinforce two turns in a row is bananas. I'm in the process of getting Chopper and Sabine to G11 to max out its abilities, even though my Phoenix guys are poorly modded and only get used for the TB mission and as a "filler" team in GA.
