How to stay relevant in Arena

Hi Guys,

I am looking for advice to stay relevant in Arena and transition to better teams. I currently run Phoenix and place 25-35 in my shard. The shard is newish (high lvl is 78) and is full of Phoenix and Nightsisters.
However, I know Phoenix won’t be relevant for much longer so looking on what I should farm next. Currently, I have been getting fine/good mods for Arena (missing all those stupid Speed arrows).

My guild does HRancor but not HAAT yet so slowly working on RHan.

I am passively working on Resistence as they are good in tank but I know they suck at holding. Additionally, I am passively working on Empire to get R2 + ships to be ready to get Tarkin and Zeta mats from the challenge.

Anyways CLS seems very far away and GK is still a long way away so curious what are solid contenders to replace Phoenix or should I just keep them as long as I can and get them to G10/11. (not going to invest Zeta’s into them or G12 unless recommended.

Here is my profile :

Thanks,

    I would like to add Mods... Use at least some of your cantina energy on mod farming. 5*, L15, Speed secondaries are necessary to stay relevant in the long run.

    My best advice for new/FTP players is to chase a little used Faction -- right now I'd say Bounty Hunters, just from gut feeling and DS TB (droids, also, with grevious re-work is possible) - and focus on them.
    They will be terrible (other then heists) but they WILL get a pass in the semi near future and when they do, you will be the one ahead of the curve. The boost in arena rank at that point will come with crystals you can use to help advance, at least, beyond other FTP players and maybe some whales who don't want to whale at that moment.
    This is future farming and it's not a guarantee... but some of us had SIth and NS before they were a thing -- then they got a Faction passes and then they were/are now viable.
