New player needs advice and help

Hi, I downloaded swgoh years ago (then recently redownloaded) and messed around until level ~40 before getting serious and deciding to do a bit of research. I really enjoy the grind and experience this game provides and realized there is a lot more to uncover. I started investing in Phoenix for the last 19 levels (currently am level 59). I am making some steady progress but still feel I need more help because I don't really know how to continue growing my squad (Pheonix and just profile in general). I am new to this whole scene and just saw the Phoenix was a good start so any info about where to go/what decisions to make from here would be greatly appreciated. I am also f2p, and looking for a good, active guild for beginners if anyone has any suggestions. Thank you for reading and any suggestions you may have.
