First Zeta

I'm on the horizon of my first Zeta and wanted to seek the collective wisdom...
Background: I came late to the party of building nicely synergised squads. Instead I (wrongly) assumed 'named' characters would be better then generics; and that a team of names would win the day. Then I got hammered by phoenix teams all the time...but it means my zeta choice is not straightforward as any themed squad has (multiple) weak links.
Context: Lvl 85 with a few 7* toons; 1 gear lvl 10, others 8-9

Viable zeta options
1) Fett.
Why? My 2nd best toon, and core of my GW/Arena squad.
Why not? Selfish zeta. Other BH need work (Greedo 7* lvl 80; CB near 7* lvl 70; Bossk 3*, Dengar 3*). Already sim credit heist tier 3

2) Vader
Why? Top toon, gr10. Hoping helps Tie Adv, which is 5* lvl85
Why not? Other Empire lacking. 7*EP, but low level, ditto 6* Thrawn and Tarkin; RG & TFP lower still

3) Kylo or KRU
Both 7*, lvl 85, gr9. Joined by 6* lvl 60 FOST and FOTFP. Have 7* lvl 70 Phasma, but looking to replace with FOO by farming from Cantina Store

4) Phoenix
Sabine is 6*, others 7*. Sabine may be obvious, but 100 shards to 7* with 1 drop per day (average) means long wait and she'll be ineligible for Thrawn events, etc. Could Zeta any of the others also.

So, choices:
Fett
Vader
Kylo
KRU
Sabine
Kanan
Ezra
Hera

Who should I zeta first?
Thanks

    My advice would be to go First Order and zeta Krum’s leader. They are a really solid faction and usable in a wide range of game modes (plus tbeur are really fun to play with). Also, Krum has a really good ship as well.
  • Yeah, I maxed tie silencer other than abilities.
    Bastila is ace, only fussing over * count for eligibility in certain events. Same issue with Sabine - sloooow to farm and can't join 7* thrawn battle

    You don’t need 6 Phoenix characters for Thrawn. The other 5 will do just fine.
  • Ive spent like 10 zetas, and none of them was for any of the characters listed above.

    Its completely your choice, but come on, eps lead, or r2 numbercrunch, bastilla lead, sion unique, these are all massive, game changers. Id surely go with these popular ones, as opposed to just going by the logic of which character you currently have more developed.
  • Did jango event today and dropped enough zeta mats and ab mats. Went for Kru. Was building FO squad before got distracted, so happy to farm FOE and spend cantina credit on FOO.
    Want to finish windu so can do GMY next time it rolls around; but energy going to FOST now.
    Phoenix can have credits to lvl from 80 to 85; then pay for FO upgrades.
    Then bastila, tfp, and empire spending
  • Zeta's don't actually do much for ships. There is a gp boost and a small ship stat boost, but definitely not enough to make it worth doing SOLELY for ships.
