FO Full Zeta Squad -- Who/When to replace?

Among other things, Foes tm gain is what really sets him apart. He can often attack twice. If he uses his special and kills a character he gains 80% tm. If that hit was also a crit, he gets another 20% tm from krus lead, meaning he’s back at 100% tm. Since he’s pretty much always going to have advantage, he’s always going to crit. Even if the attack doesn’t kill someone but it crits, he gets 60% back, 40% from the skill and 20% from kru lead. This is not to mention he also gives 10% tm to other fo when he crits. Oh yah he also dispels and removes tm. He’s so much better than fotp it’s not even funny. Tankier than fotp too.

FOST/krum double tank with ogkylo and FOX is a TM machine (not up to zzEP level, but still excellent). KRUM will pass out advantage every time he's damaged, and spamming ogkylo's aoe will give 50% TM to everyone with advantage, while possibly resetting his CD's at the same time. FOST's zeta will spread ten down, healing immunity, DoT, and stack FOX's Max health ( from his unique) at a very fast pace, along with the TM to the assisting toons ( from KRUM lead ). It all stacks up really fast with krum/kylo/fox/fost. The 5th should be either FOO or FOSF ideally, since fotp is just too damn squishy. Fox will build up his health quickly enough that he isn't squishy for long, and you can actually afford to use a health primary on his circle, triangle, and cross, instead of a CC triangle or offense because of his unique boosting his offense based on his Max health. Crit chance isn't really needed with him, since he will almost always have advantage and his basic always scores a crit against debuffed enemies.

For DSTB, I always use krum/kylo/fox/foo/fost and haven't dropped any waves with them yet.
For tw, I use them on defense running krum/fost/fox/kylo/zarris. It sounds strange to use her, but that squad has insane Regen capability against everything except top meta teams, and the abilities are so well ****-proof that the AI won't screw it up like it will if you use fotp/foo/fosf as the 5th. They haven't been taken 1:1 yet since I finished taking them to g12.

Would Phasma not be better as the 5th over FOO or FOSF?

Phasma cannot cleanse, give offense up+ten up and she cant remove turn meter and lower cooldowns on all FO, literally any other FO toon is better than Phasma just because they can do things that are much more valuable than what she can do

KRU, zFOST and FOO are the foundation of a FO team, Kylo Ren brings extra tm gain as well as a tanky hard hitting character, this leaves 5th open for either FOTP, FOE or FOSF, all potential candidates although FOE is most popular thanks to his tmr as well as dispell and the fact he can clean up the enemy squad

First order generally isn’t great on defense unless they’re really well geared and modded but they slay on offense. Very very good for territory wars.

I've been using FOX instead of FOTP at G12 for a few days now and the difference is really noticeable. The team turn meter gain is fantastic and FOX goes more often that FOTP did.

FOX vs NS Zombie/Acolyte is fun to watch on auto.

The biggest advantage of using fox over fotp for arena (especially on defense) is simply durability. Fotp is super squishy, and any aoe or expose heavy teams ( pretty much any current meta) will quickly wipe him out. Fox will quickly ramp up his Max health, especially if you mod him correctly with a lot of health primaries/secondaries. His offense is directly tied to his Max health, so the usual attacker setup of offense and CC/Cd isn't the right way to set him up. A CD and health set, and health primaries on the cross, triangle, and circle will have just as much damage as using an offense cross, with more durability. With FOST's zeta, you will be getting a lot of assist calls that will ramp him up even quicker.
