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 use a Sith team - DN lead, Vader, Maul, EP, Dooku and usually only play against Phoenix in arena cuz it’s such an easy win. EP and CD are only 6*

I used to run Phoenix and I struggled to stay in the top 500, then I made the Nightmare team of EP, Vader, Sion, Thrawn, and Nihilus and I've been consistently top 100 and occasionally top 50 ever since. It's definitely the best and easiest f2p meta team out there. To anyone running Phoenix in arena, get them to around G9 and they'll get you both Thrawn and Palpatine; Vader is pretty easy to unlock through achievements, hard to max though but tanky enough to survive at lower stars; Nihilus is a tough farm for lower levels, but one of the special events (also requiring Phoenix) gives his shards, and he's viable at 3*; Sion also has tough nodes to farm, but he's great even at 3* if you unlocked him in the marquee event. It's really not that hard of a team to make, and if you already have a good Phoenix, they will get you both of the legendary characters.

Use Imperial Troopers with Veers-z and hit auto to slaughter them. I like seeing Phoenix and Night Sisters for automatic wins.

Phoenix do not hold as well as other teams on defense when your shard matures enough to have more powerful counter squads. I haven't seen a single Phoenix team in my top 50 in months.

I agree with getting wedge in instead of jc, and if you put him as lead he will heal your rebels passively. Healers become pretty useless in arena because using a heap ability basically wastes a turn that could be spent attacking

Correction to my post above: Darth Nihilus primary attack and Force Drain DO NOT ignore protection, only the Raid Boss version of DN ignores protection. DN is still good against Phoenix though with his AoE attack and Anihillate.

Just FYI, killing Hera first doesn’t prevent Phoenix from sharing uniques, if only stops the 20-40% TM gain they get upon using Specials.

It also removes the teams resurrection capability and a means of giving Ezra more attacks.

Take out Ezra and Phoenix will be useless!

Totally agree. The battle will last a long time, but with Ezra out of the way there's not much they can hit you with.
