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.....

Looks like you are getting the advice you need in here, but if you want to read some more tips, here's what I have to say:

Oh heck, I will just copy it for you:
This got longer than I intended. lol. Have fun reading or don't.
Everybody means well when they suggest all these teams you need to go get, and they are mostly right when they say "get a rebel team" and "get some scoundrels for the credit heist," but the one card you have that trumps every suggestion is that it is YOUR game to play the way you want, so if you want a jedi team then go get them!
A few tips for you:
Do not overextend. If you try to farm everything at once, you will suffer greatly. Pick a direction and stick with it. If you decide it is time to farm up some rebels, then do it and stick to the plan. Star and gear them until you just can't stand it anymore, and then do it some more. For me in early game, this meant 5* minimum (6* preferred), g7. Gear after g8 starts to get difficult.
Refresh energy with crystals. You are already doing this, good. Do at least one refresh in Cantina and one in regular battles, if you have the crystals.
Skip ability mats in the cantina store. You will regret every mat you buy from there. Before long you will have massive piles of these. Buy character shards.
Mods. Enhance the strengths your character already has. (Example: Lando can make it rain every single turn if he gets multiple crits on his attack. Try to make sure this happens by boosting his crit chance with mod sets, primaries, and secondaries.) One of the "better" sets early on is Crit Damage, because you can collect a set of any four from Mod Battles, level them up and you get a 30% set bonus even if they are only 1* mods. This is a big boost ... but you have to crit first, of course. Protection primaries are generally better than health mods, maybe not so great at g7, but they get progressively better as you gear up.
7* for raids. To get g8 gear, you need to start raiding, and you need to get in a guild that is doing Heroic Rancor. You will need at least one 7* character to qualify for the raid. Either stick with your guild until you are all ready for the Heroics, or sneak away in the dead of night to another one already there.
Hard node farming. Part of your daily activities is to farm hard nodes. Choose wisely. Select a node with a character that can ONLY be farmed from hard nodes. Sabine comes to mind, FOST, Veers, maybe HR Soldier or even Royal Guard. These take FOREVER to collect, so start early and stick to the plan.
Clone Wars Chewbacca. You can probably just stop developing him where he is. Mine is STILL L60 g7, and even that was too much. He only got his 6* because the shards eventually piled up somehow.
Leave unused characters unleveled. I know you need characters for LS/DS battles, and that's fine, build those squads. But a 2* L42 g4 Ewok Scout is not going to do anything for you, so quit spending resources on him. Credits and gear are scarce, do not use them unless you have a definite purpose in mind. Characters are best left at L1 g1 until you are ready to FOCUS on them.
Favorites. Take your focus characters that you are developing and put them in your favorites list. Include the characters you are gearing and shard collecting. When you pull up the character menu to see what you should work on today, use the Favorites tab. Just work on those characters. This helps with focus. Update your favorites periodically.
You have Jedi. You have Kanan. You need Ezra. Ezra is a Jedi and a Rebel, and is a vicious hitter. He qualifies for both the Palpatine and Thrawn events. He is endish-game material and available on Cantina 2B.
You should always be farming a specific character from every source as they become available, that means GW store, cantina store, arena store, guild store, fleet store, hard nodes. Stick with your farm even when you see somebody else doing great things with a different character you also want.
Have fun.
Most important: stick with your plan, you will never make progress if you bounce around too much. FOCUS! Phoenix Squadron will serve you very well. Pairing new Palpatine and Vader is proving to be more than a match for Commander Luke teams, so PS is still a good opening path.
