I have Boba (lead), Biggs, Lando, STHan, and JC Vs. full Phoenix. Level for both squads is 61. I've tried killing Janus first and then Hera. Can't dent Chopper.I could bring in more healers or tanks at same level.

Lando and Boba will make them all counter. Make sure to only use their AOE's if STHan has his taunt up. Kill ezra first.

how do you beat Phoenix?your team shows up ;)

I am so jealous you atleast get to fight agains other than CLS rebels with Han and that damn robot!

Of course r2 and chaze will help. So would cls and thrawn. I dont think he has access to those characters yet. If he did, he wouldnt be having trouble with phoenix

On defense, he will AOE first and against a counter team like Phoenix, that triggers an instant group hug filled with pain. Biggs must go first to increase the chance that Wedge is still around to assist.I have been playing with wedge and biggs from the beginning of my game. I have tried both setups, and i can guarantee you that when wedge goes first, the enemy dies faster and that is without a major loss in defense. On defense, any toon with aoe is terrible, and the AI is worse than terrible. For a wiggs team to perform better on defense, you need an autotaunt like GK or Baze. Furthermore, you would be better off adding r2 to the mix so that when wedge does his silly aoe on defense he is cloaked, but it still gives turn meter to Rex teams.Offense is easy in this game. A team that can beat you with your biggs first cam beat you with your wedge first. I have experienced what you are describing for myself, and i can say without a doubt that inflicting defense down and killing the opposing g12 wedge or g11 kanan or whoever dps they have and climbing with easy is far better than worrying about how the AI will deal with these two characters.The OP is having trouble on offense, so he needs to deliver more damage. Defense down is one of the best debuffs in the game. If you have trouble on offense, that team will crush your defense, so you need to make some changes.With wiggs, i now use r2, leia and GK. I put r2 first, then leia to make sure she gets her omega cloak benefits. But then wedge puts defense down before biggs special. In this case, i get less damage from leia's first attack, but even on offense, if wedge crits he will give TM to Rex teams that might spoil leia's perma-cloak and offense up. But wedge should always go before biggs in my experience.

How do you beat Phoenix squad in arena?

I didn't even know this was a thing.
TBH - I'd love to have a well geared Pheonix to fight - it'd be interesting to EVEN HAVE THE CHANCE.
It's just CLS as far as the eye can see.

thx for your tips. I tried it out but still no chance. when you cant kill Kanan or someone else, before they start attacking its over and you can stop fighting. I would ignore them. But 99% in the arena are phoenix squads. The rest rebels with 10k more power. Its really frustrating.
I hope they change something.
Maybe when I get wedge, or Baze i can fight back in the arena.

@Wulfman Wedge and Biggs can make quick work of Phoenix. A really easy free-to-play team is Wedge (L), Biggs, STHan, Jyn, and Qui-Gon/Boba.

You seen a Phoenix team in arena! Never seen one and my shard isn't the newest.

I run wedge, biggs, lando, bobba, st han.

Honestly if you use only the single target abilities its pretty easy. I usually take out chopper first, then Kanan, Ezra, hera, and then zeb. Pretty easy but you will get destroyed if you use any of the AOE abilities.

In my experience imperial troopers can melt them before they get a chance to move

Voateomo. It's in the new shards that Phoenix thrives. It's incredibly easy to get decently starred phoenix as a beginner free player or dolphin. The top ten teams in my shard are full Phoenix, full Nightsisters or significantly higher gp with multiple 6 and 7 star characters and the players are probably full whale.

There are multiple teams that can shut down phoenix but they aren't as easily accessible and as easily starrable in the early game.

Yes, Phoenix are more an issue with new shards. My wiggsdo + StHan + Boba, have sporadic success depending on level and gear. And it is like a gear and level thing for the shard. Before wedge, I got wrecked. With wedge I won vs most Phoenix teams for level or two . It has gone back and forth since. At the moment (l 78), aoes don’t do enough damage and I can’t single shot thru tanks. Am curious to see what happens at G10

Edit 2: Never seen Hera put backup plan on Chopper, kinda funny, guess she doesn’t like the little fella very much.

Today in one match with a Phoenix squad Hera did me that and ruined my tactic ._. . I have to say that it was the first time she did that cause usually she put that on Ezra or Kanan u.u.

Use toons with high crit with no debuffs so you don't trigger the kanaan heal once you break protection. Also focus their DPS down first (ezra, sabine) and/or Hera before touching the tanks. Stun, daze, stagger are murder on PS in general so use them to help control the group while you burn the dps and hera first.

I use Lumi, Lando, Boba, StHan, and JC. They're all way higher than my other characters and the closest being Genosian Soldier and Talia, but still 2,000 GP away from my lowest, JC. Do you suggest focusing on gear towards Talia to use that stagger on them?

I'm replying to you too late, so probably you already fixed that, but for newcomers maybe this helps. You should change JC or Lumi (I suggest change JC) and add to you squad a powerful 1 target character, since you team is mainly rebel/scoundrel I suggest you Luke Skywalker (farmboy) or Princess Leia, they are both easy to farm. Put Lando as Leader cause you must attack first.

I hope this helps ;)
