New player, level 52, need some advice.
Hello everyone, I just started playing ( start of february ) and I need some advice. I started out with farming for the Phoenix squad, but then read somewhere they're not as good as everyone says.....

You seem to be spreading yourself too thin. It is better to concentrate on a few good toons for teams rather than try to unlock everyone right now.
The Game Changers have beginner videos suggesting what to farm and why, which may be helpful. https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/154847/new-player-farming-guide-2018/p1
Multipurpose toons are some of the most useful at the beginning. Phoenix squad is also useful, both for galactic war, ships and special events. Stormtrooper Han is a good choice, as he is also a scoundrel, which you will need 5 scoundrels for credit heist and training droid heist. Lando is also both scoundrel and rebel. Biggs and Wedge are both rebels and ship pilots, with Biggs being the best ship to have.
Most suggest Phoenix as they can do 2 Legendary events, Emperor's Demise, which will grant you shards of Emperor Palpatine, and Artist of War, that will grant you shards of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Both of these characters unlock at 5*, so you will need 5 phoenix squad members at 5* to unlock (they will need to be 7* if you want a 7* Thawn or Emperor). Thrawn is useful in almost any arena team and his capital ship, Chimaera, is one of the best in the game currently.
Next, most people are advised to either work on a scoundrel team or an Empire team. You will need 5 scoundrels for the highest level of credit heist and training droid heist. Once you unlock mods, leveling mods to 15 will take a lot of credits, so it is important to have a scoundrel group for heists. You will need 5 Empire to do another Legendary event, Daring Droid, which gives R2D2 shards. Like the other Legendary toons, R2D2 unlocks at a 5.
At the end, it is your game and there are no right or wrong answers, so get all the advice you can, and then play the way you want to play. You may decide you would rather farm First Order or Resistance, and if you feel that way, then do it :)
To see what characters and gear level are needed for events, you can look at the list of reoccurring events which also may impact what you are farming.
