Phoenix's biggest strengths are passive recovery and counter attacks.
Its two biggest weaknesses are a painful shortage of debuff cleansing and the fact that Phoenix teams tend to rely on one major damage dealer; either Ezra or Sabine.
If you disable Kanan, there is no debuff cleansing until zetas are on the table, and if you kill Kanan, the whole team loses heal-on-debuff and counter.
Daze, stun, and heal block are your friends.
Some options: Maul and Dooku are effective for Sith, one with AoE daze and the other with good ways to stun Kanan, and in both cases bonuses for beating up Jedi. Thrawn's Fracture is the surest way to get Kanan out of the picture so you can take him out. Darth Nihilus' instant kill can take out anyone. Stormtrooper and Stormtrooper Han can both turn mass counter attacks into a liability in the form of turn meter drain and gain respectively. Kylo Ren classic inflicts heal block with his basic.
