I used to be a huge proponent of Phoenix being the go to team when you start. I would skip them now. I would go for a full Geo team day one, and a Jedi team next using Ahsoka and Anakin. Probably Bastila lead, with Old Ben and another rando/filler for 5th.
Then I’d build towards a Padmé team and a General Grievous team followed by G$/clones. Then I’d go after the two Revans, and Malak. So many of the early legendaries are not a priority right now. Much of what used to be essential early on can just be skipped.
Also not to argue terminology, but you are easily a year from mid game player status. I wouldn’t call anyone “mid game” until they have a near max arena team, several 7* purple gear characters. Also doing heroic pit and tank raids at least.
