First order team

Full FO team is garbage on defense in arena. Right after the protection update, I left a full FO team as my defense over night. It fell from rank 200 down to 500 in 12 hours.

Phasma - top tier leader for offense battles in arena and very easy farm. Get her.

Kylo - called an "attacker" but his damage is pretty low except for Outrage when under 50% health (or effectively 25% when accounting for protection). He's has a decent amount of health though. His kit would be perfect if it included a taunt. Easy to farm in cantinas.

FOTP - pure damage dealer that's completely outclassed by Rey, GS, Leia, and IG-86. All of them have more damage potential, more survivability, and are easier to farm. With only 2 nodes in missions available, farming him takes a LONG time.

FOO - Has a mixed bag of abilities that other toons do much better. Turn meter manipulation? HRS and STH do it better. Buff? Poggle. The only thing cool about him is the guaranteed crit when another toon has advantage. This makes pairing him with Phasma almost mandatory for him to be effective.

FOST - Take 5s, reduce the counter chance, remove the counter damage, change the guaranteed slow to 50% chance unless you crit, remove the ability to call for an assist on demand and replace it with a defense up buff. Now make him only farmable via 2 mission nodes and voila, you have FOST!

I agree with most of this.

Phasma: No brainer, farm her

FOTP: I don't think he's completely out-classed by the others, you do have to have him at gear 11 though to be competitive. I think he's worth the farm for arena and raids and of course pairs well with Phasma

FOST: Here's the thing, he has massive HP, huge. His counter may not be as strong as 5's but nobody's really is; Aayla is close. He's not a horrible character to have but definitely a difficult farm. Not a bad phase 4 character for the Rancor.
