Dislike of farming and leveling up phoenix seems to be a rather common theme and it got me thinking on why, and for me personally it's Chopper! Mine is currently only 56, 6* and I just hit purple gear so maybe it's different higher up, but he hits like a wet noodle and tanks worse than Zeb! Kanan out-tanks him so hard and even Hera pumps out more damage!Obviously he has his positives, a rapid cooldown taunt to save Ezra/Hera/Zeb, a shared self heal, random ally buffs for every AA which makes the little kitten a great addition to the phoenix squad, I just wish he could take more damage. For example I find myself not wanting to use his taunt if Hera isn't close to her turn for backup plan because of the numerous times he's been 100-0 before I even had a chance to use it. Like I said, I totally see his value, it just doesn't change the fact that I would sub in Sabine in a heartbeat if her farm didn't take FOREVER. So how about the rest of you, do you like or dislike phoenix and why?

I prefer chopper to sabine. He adds major survivability to the team and his high attack rate gives the team lots of buffs.

I don't like them (also their ship) bcause it's mandatory team to get powerful char n ship. After u get thrawn n chimaera u simply dump them.Also their identical gear requirement and bad versatile outside phoenix team make it worse.

I didn't like them but put a lot of work into them and used them a fair bit and now I do. They're a much more tactical play than many other "blast em" squads. They require some thought.I've never used Chopper though, preferring Sabine. I'm afraid a little droid chucking a handful of stones at the likes of Vader just doesn't sit well with me. I know some people like him, and that's cool :smile: My point is - you don't need him for Phoenix.

I use Chopper in my arena team... he's a real PITA with JTR, R2, BB-8, and GK.

I would like to add, all though they loose some value after completing thrawn, they do put up quite a good defense in TW, and are required in a special node in TB.

I blame chopper for my dislike of phoenix!

Actually chopper is a much more useful tank than zeb ever will be, how useful are tanks without a taunt buff? Plus his kit is really useful. He can cleanse enemy buffs, his unique for pheonix replenishes health and protection, and his higher speed makes him get his taunt off faster than slow poke kanaan. Plus thrawn 7* is a sinch with him

They're one of the best defensive teams to use for TW

Seems like a few of you didn't bother to read the entire post, I covered all of the reasons why chopper IS useful and even reiterated my understanding of his use but that I just don't find him interesting. The question wasn't why is chopper good, it's why do others dislike Phoenix

Funny, I love chopper, his kit is great. I love Sabine, I have her zetad. They are both fun. :)

The worst thing is they all seem to want the same gear, yikes.

Yeah gearing them is frustrating, every time I finish a piece of equipment I have to compare stats and decide who to equip ha!

I like Choppers kit, he offers a ton of support no doubt about it, I just focus on his negatives during the fight for some reason. I can't figure out why he seems so squishy and I'm pretty sure he and barriss are in a competition for who can do the least amount of damage
