Does anyone use Phoenix as a counter to NS?

Hey everyone, so the other day in a Territory War I used my medium-gear phoenix against a medium-gear NS. I realized that Pheonix counters NS pretty well. Do most people use Phoenix to counter NS as higher levels? I know Phoenix isn't super meta, but NS can be annoying to go up against, and it seems most people use Imperial Troopers, but couldn't they use Phoenix instead, seeing as how they have already farmed phoenix?

  • After a certain point you stop gearing Phoenix for squad fights and start gearing them for ship fights. They're a solid, jack of all trades team that'll help you through a lot of the early and mid game, but later on the specialization you get from other teams outpaces their all-round general use. About the besr use you'll get from them later is as a defensive team in GAC--they'll get smashed, but you have to use an at least okay team for it, and it frees up one of your better teams for offense.

    But they're still a really good pair of ships under Home One.

    Are they though? Falcon,.Biggs and your choice of HT / Bistan / Y-Wing starting with Cassian as first RI, Phantom second RI maybe if it gets that far and Ghost who cares because third and fourth RIs are generally not used.
  • I have my Phoenix crew all g12 + zetas and I still use them a lot in GAC. Sometimes only as a filler defense, but when my opponent has no relics on his night sisters, I use them on offense. G13 or the spirit in the team can become a problem, then I would use Empire or Geos instead, and also there can be bad rng - still against a lot of teams, they are a pretty nice counter.
  • Well, as one who used Phoenix extensively in the beginning, I'd really like to have a relic Phoenix squad. Just for fun and giggles.
    I always liked fighting with them.
