For Newcomers (PX)
If you discovered the forums and are very new to SWGoH, then welcome! I hope that you enjoy the game from here on out. But what this is really about is what you should farm early on: The Pheonix Squad...

Sorry, I meant classic rebels team.
I agree with you. For me is better STH, Lando and etc for the newcomer
Makes sense, both teams seem viable, but I'd farm Phoenix first to get Palpatine and Thrawn
Thrawn's return is probably quite a few months away yet. Yoda is only useful if you are running a full Jedi squad that requires a zeta leadership. And the classic rebels + Boba squad makes Palpatine easy to get anyways.
Phoenix squad may not be a terrible choice for new players, but it is far from the best, and pretending otherwise is dishonest. Having an advantage at getting a couple of the legendary characters is much less important than being able to beat the top available tier of the credit heist. Lando, ST Han, and Boba are capable of doing that by themselves, with gear 1 level 1 scoundrels being adequate to fill in required slots if the first three are well built.
I know a bunch of people really want to believe that Phoenix is actually good, but they are basically the same as the Rogue One team without the Pretaunt and passive taunts, the AOE cleanse and dispel, the multiple sources of tenacity up, or the massive single target damage output of Chirrut and Cassian's specials, and Rogue One isn't even considered meta viable anymore.
No one is pretending they are the best, but on the other side of the coin there are those that pretend they are total garbage, and that is just as dishonest. Those making those claims have not leveled them and don't run them. They are just immature adults who believe they are too grown up to like something from a cartoon on disney while they play a video game based off a movie they watched as kids. Most new player guides say DONT chase the current meta, as metas change and you will have wasted effort on obsolete toons. I say gear what you currently have that works and farm as many shards of everything you can, you never know what next event or challenge will require ;)
