Nerf Phoenix Squads

They aren't hard to beat. As long as you have 5 rebels, get palp at first chance (the event is about every 2 months). Put palp with vader and 3 emp toons. I suggest tarkin, tfp, and storm or rg as a start. Vader feeds off rebels so this team woukd easily crush pheonix. Then the arena full of Pheonix works in your advantage. Then eventually replace tarkin with thrawn. And storm/rg with sion. And tfp with nihilas for an end game arena squad. No nerf required. Also farm mods and mod them for speed.

It's Emperor Palpatine event now, there's going to be a lot of them and they'll be real happy to see an Arena full of Penix teams.

Phoenix have very good ships late game, are useful in TB, TW and Sith Raid. They will disappear from arena soon though.

Bastila might give Kanan some life. We will see.

Troll is weak, big fail.

I see a ton of Palintine (along with myself) and Luke. You must be way way back lol

Phoenix will help you BREEZE through GW in the early levels (I'm level 63 and have always been able to finish all 12 stages). Also, they're an amazing team on defense in the early game, often leading to timeouts. They also help you breeze through palpatine, and you need a tough phoenix squad for thrawn. ALSO, Kanan and Ezra double up as jedi so you can use them for the defense mod challenges and the GMY event. IN ADDITION, you can get a very tough Ghost and Phantom 2 in fleet arena with a 7* G8 phoenix. Once you unlock palpatine and thrawn, then you won't be seeing many phoenix squads surviving in the arena however.

Good to know. This must be a really new shard as someone said. Because 27 of the top 50 Arena Squads are Phoenix. I'm only level 55 myself.

Keep investing into Pheonix, they arent the best but they are solid. Back when they were released everyone called them trash. But over time have built a reputation outside of arena, and not just for getting thrawn but galactic war, territory battles and raids

Demanding nerfs against teams you're having problems with is rather counter to the spirit of the game.

And pretty weak. Grow, develop and learn to beat any and all teams you come across. That's the point.


In a few months @Cmgutie, you'll be embarassed that you ever throught Phoenix was a tough squad to face...because they're not. At all.

I completely agree with this guy, Phoenix is way too OP for a f2p team, they basically never die and Ezra does a ton of dmg, he's the highest dmg Jedi in the game, Chopper always heals and Zeb just permastuns people.

And while you're at it, give the Sith some love, Palpatine and Vader are basically useless characters which is ridiculous considering no one has ever heard of Phoenix unless they watch a kids cartoon, also Sion and Darth Nihilus could use a small buff, it's too easy to kill them, specially under a Traya lead.

Only one person on my shard runs Phoenix in the......Top 100! And he’s way way ahead of the rest of us - full gold rings and full Zetas. Most people in the top 50 have 3 Zetas and 2 to 3 gold rings.
So even a maxed out Phoenix squad wouldn’t cut it!
The only unusual non-meta top 50 teams I’ve seen are a guy that runs BHs and another that runs zVeers Imperial Troopers. They hover around 20-30th.
