Is a non-Phoenix route now viable?
People have made several posts on this....and I’m well aware of the benefits of Phoenix (I did them first!). However it might be very viable to aim at these teams: Geos and Brood Alpha —> Str...

The only reason that I wouldn't do Phoenix as my first team would be based on the luck of what you get in that first guaranteed character from your first ever 350 crystal Chromium pack.
IF, big if, IF, that pack unlocked either Bastila or Zombie then I would consider going with Jedi or NS first.
Those 2 characters are game changers for a Jedi or NS team respectively even at 2*.
In the case of Jedi, you convert from Ezra/Hera in Cantina to Ezra/Ben.
You still farm Kanan but you go Qui-Gon instead of Chopper in Cantina Store.
For NS you would push for Daka, Asaj, Acolyte, & Initiate to quickly get them up & running.
But short of those 2 draws, Phoenix all the way to start out.
Also opening up BH/Scoundrels early for Credit Heists after getting Phoenix open.
I would start farming JKR characters in LS/DS as soon as those Nodes open because they are VERY long farms.
First Order makes for an interesting alternative, but lacks the Legendary character access & you can always farm KyloU & Silencer when you hit 50 after Ezra/Hera are at least 5*.
BB8 (FO) & JKR are the first 2 events I'd push for post CLS completion (R2, Thrawn, Yoda, Palp otw to CLS)
