Empire team after Phoenix

That's grim. Phoenix are ridiculously boring. I resent having to farm them for Thrawn.

Can You describe me fully these teams with Palpatine lead, KRU lead, Thrawn lead and Tarkin lead? Who else they use?

All the empire teams use some combination of

Tarkin thrawn Palpatine (all empire teams have him) Tfp Shoretrooper and storm trooper (less common but if you don't want to spend on crystals and you want a tank this is it). One of the Palpatine lead teams is Palpatine Vader Sion Nihilus Sith trooper.

The kru teams are kru kylo fotfp foo fost

The better Wiggs team would be wedge Biggs Chirrut baze +1

My shard started late Jan so I ended up getting 5* palpatine like everyone else on it. Palp + Vader + tarkin + tfp + nihilus (3* from shipments, was my "fun" crystal purchase cuz he's slick) kept me #1 thru last week when the whales started buying g9 in shops and now omega refreshes, tho I'm still able to get #4. I did swap TFP with sion, but without his zeta he basically just feeds TM to nihilus and dies, never gets off hatred. I feel like talzin could work in place of tarkin - with enough speed could go after Vader and stop rex/ chirrut **** from wrecking my day lol

If you fancy another shard purchase, get sith trooper instead of Tarkin and replace tfp with Sion

so EP Vader Nihilus Sith Trooper and Sion.

OR empire route

EP Vader Thrawn Shoretrooper and 5th doesnt even matter, maybe Tarkin

Who is the best with EP Vader and Thrawn for the arena? Can You give me two examples (first easy to get after Phoenix and second the best to get)?

I have lead Thrawn 7* / Darth Vader 7* / Emp Palpetine 6* / Tie Pilot 7* / GM Tarkin 7*

i will switch lead to EP once i have a zeta on him but I am free to play and this team easy keeps me in top 50
also started only couple of months ago.

also this team almost all have ships (except EP) so its a very good team for starters that are f2p.

Yep - this. Shore/Death/Nihlius/Sith Trooper are late game farms (82+), and Tarkin and TFP are being built for fleet anyways (or they should be)

Palp vader nihlas sion and thrawn are the current meta. In a shard as young as yours even nihlas and sion at 3 stars would likely be viable so if you can unlock and gear them, that's how I would go. Both can be bought from the store so it wouldn't take long to get a 3 star nihlas if you missed his launch and you probably have sion since he just came out. And as soon as you can farm them to higher stars I would. I have both at 7 stars and use the team in arena and the only teams i have trouble with are mirror match teams with more gear/mods or occasionally jtr teams that are modded out better than what I have. I'm in a Nov 2016 shard so I'm hoping my team will remain meta for awhile longer since traya is likely to be the new meta and it is unlikely that anyone in my shard is unlocking her anytime soon. This is also the team that does best against her at least so far. And in a young shard you would have even more time before anyone could dream of getting a new meta when it came out since it will likely be in the same form as traya or jtr as far as difficulty to get.

The big question is are you a whale or f2p/dolphin? Only a whale will be able to hang top 10 arena for long. F2p-ish should be happy with top 100.

If you're more f2p/dolphin, focus on fleets. You can keep up with the whales and there's not as much interest in fleets overall. Grow Tarkin and the meta fleet (TF, Advanced TF, FOTF, Biggs, and Boba - longer term Scimitar and Reaper. Once you have a good fleet at mostly 7*, grow your Chimaera challenge fleet (start Bistan's ship well before the others).

This will keep those crystals flowing. You will eventually focus on squad arena again, but until then, just keep your arena team in the top 200. When you can't hold above 200, give them some gear and mod love, then get back to your fleet. When you've got a good fleet under Tarkin and are ready for Chimaera, that's when you'll come back to squad arena.
