How to beat phoenix with phoenix at low level

Hi,
I'm lvl 56 right now, been doing pretty well in arena (hovering around top 20-30) with my phoenix team. They actually fare pretty well against most other teams (except heavy DPS rebels).

But today we're reaching a point in my shard where:
- Everybody around me in the rankings has a phoenix team
- We're all getting to that phoenix sweet spot of gear 7 (where suddenly Zeb's unique starts kicking in thanks to the appearance of MODs and the gear 7 protection gain)

Now, for the life of me, I can't defeat any team, nor can they defeat me. It's just an eternal brawl where not a single character ends up dying within the 5 minutes (and probably never would even in a 2 hours fight).

I've tried to start by focussing chopper... nope he just keeps healing himself on and on and on, and whenever he gets a bit low, Hera's special protects him and his health shoots back up. Same with Kanan. I can't really focus Hera efficiently either, because the taunts eventually get in the way, and by the time it is one of my dispeller's turn, she's back to full health anyways.

I don't see any reason to focus Ezra because he just contributes to DPS and not to recovery, which is the issue I have. And Zeb is probably the hardest character to focus because he can stun you with his counterattacks.

Really I'm desperate here... So I guess my only option is to now focus on levelling an anti-phoenix squad...

Any suggestions?
  • No Sabine? Armor Shred would probably help you take down Kanan and Chopper.
    I would think that an effective tactic would be to use the assist calls from Hera and Ezra to direct Zeb after Kanan to stun him. When Chopper taunts, use Ezra to dispel it. Then focus Kanan with Ezra, Sabine, Hera. Have Zeb and Kanan go after Hera to avoid debuffing Kanan while you are wearing him down, and maybe you can get Hera stunned as well to keep her from using Backup Plan on Kanan. Use Sabine's Armor Shred on Kanan whenever you can.
    Once he's down and the threat of counter-attack is gone, I would go after Ezra. After that it is just mop up duty.
