How to counter Phoenix teams?

This team laughs at Phoenix. I have an all G12 all Zeta'd Phoenix (no chopper) in my shard that I cherry pick every chance I get. They dont even get my protection down.

Palp G10 - no zeta
Vader G11 - no zeta
Tarkin G10 - no zeta
Thrawn G10 - no zeta
CLS G11 - IBAT

Thank you all! Some really sound advice, took out the Phoenix team!

Simple - whack Ezra and they've got nothing else to hit you with. Whack Ezra then clean up.

G11 CLS with Zeta? Yeah, that's totally possible for a level 67.

See winky face.

Hera and her backup plan has to go first :wink:

My plan works for me :)

Take away their only offence and I'm happy to grind them down into the dirt even if it takes 10 minutes.

Except for the arena timeout at 5 minutes. Ezra does need to be one of the first gone, but I'd go after chopper first.

Though back when I ran Phoenix, when it was Phoenix-versus-Phoenix, I'd take out their damage dealer and slowly be winning the fight, but go out by time-out! That was frustrating.

I've only seen two teams that can efficiently kill Phoenix teams at the high end (g12 with actual proper mods- most ppl don't even come close to modding them effectively). First is palp lead with vader and tarkin, but my 230 speed guys can usually overtake them if vader dies fast, sabine's mass stagger leaves only vader able to fight back. Second is JTR, only if very well modded also. Trick is to kill Kannan, otherwise they all regain 25% health per debut and can counter, which combined with his zeta means they won't die until he does. Sabine can wipe a whole team in two turns if she's build properly also, or put are stagger & expose on the whole team and they can kill multiple toons before you even get a turn.

I'm still waiting for the bug with it to be fixed in game. They flagged it awhile back, but hasn't been patched yet to my knowledge. (the ai doesn't use demolish) Once that happens tho, It's going to be a lot harder to take them down in arena, I imagine. =)
