Phoenix OP

Leadership ability and faction synergy are important. If you pair your Vader and RG with a full Empire team, especially one with Palpatine or Thrawn lead, you can walk all over a Phoenix squad. Incidentally, both legendary Empire characters can be unlocked with Phoenix, which is why most players farm them from the very beginning.

Phoenix are actually not very good past the early game. I wouldn't invest too much into them. You mainly just want to get them to gear lvl 8 or 9 so you can unlock Thrawn and Palpatine. Once you get Emporer Palpatine you can make an empire team that will slaughter those Phoenix teams.

Once you level and gear your characters up, Phoenix are not the toughest kids on the block. Wedge, Biggs, Baze, Chirut, and Lando chew through them. But that’s old meta, and Baze and Chirut are part of Rogue One which are probably lame to you.

Aim for Commander Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewie, R2 and C3PO. You can mow down a lot with those traditional characters and use traditional characters to earn all of them. Have fun gaming and broadening your knowledge of the Star Wars universe.

Yeah I have started farming Phoenix myself because based on what I have read and seen in this game its literally the only team people really farm. Seems like every Squad Battle I do is always Phoenix and its starting to get lame. I don't even know where the Phoenix characters come from in Star Wars. Must be the stupid cartoons or something so to me its very lame because I want to use characters from the traditional Star Wars universe but I have noticed they are dog poop compared to Phoenix. Thanks for the suggestions and reply.

1.)phoenix is from star wars rebels, some stupid cartoon.
2.)your team compision is your down fall.
3.)read up on the unique of each, and heras leadership.
4.)traditional star wars characters are far from dog poop as you so eloquently put it. Palpatine and Vader can carry you a long way if you have the others to follow (other sith or empire)
5.)compision.. Vader (empire and sith), Boba (bh and scoundrel), Talia (nightsister), luminara (jedi), and royal guard (empire) make no sense together. Yes this is likely all you had because of what you farmed and maybe didnt know better. Farm characters that make sense. I get it you want to use the classic characters, how are there is no synergy between them that will allow you to win.. Well with some ease anyway.
6.)depending on your level, if you are just starting Phoenix at a higherish level, may as well restart as now you are taking a big step back. Look at the numerous guides kn farming and how they will contribute to your overall roster.

Also?

Don't let people put you off farming Phoenix to relatively high gear tiers. It takes a lot of work, but a g11 Phoenix squad makes their ships fantastic - two of the best ships you can get, even at the end game. The down side is that you need to gear 3 toons per ship. It's a lot of resources, but it's MUCH easier to dominate fleet than it is to dominate the Squad Arena.

Phoenix + Bounty Hunters (which then gets you Han's Falcon) should be your early ship priorities, and that of course influences your early toon priorities.

I don't want to play the game for you, and you're free to leave Phoenix at g8 if you like, (and all the advice above about matching 5 toons from the same faction or that benefit from the same leadership ability is still important) but g10-11 Phoenix in the mid-game and g11-12 Phoenix in the end game will help a lot in Fleet, and that will get you an amazing number of crystals for use in all the other areas of the game.

Lesson: Just because a toon isn't a great toon on its own, doesn't mean it can't be a great toon either with the right leader or when piloting the right ship.

Phoenix is a key component early game. Gets Thrawn (and EP), to get R2, to get CLS, required in LS Hoth TB, great for early game arena climbing (I even saw one in the top 50 of my shard when EP/Vader got their rework and contended in the Rock Paper Scissors meta with Bastilla and JTR leads), as well as GW purposes until you can sim it. That’s all not even including their ships, Ghost and Phantom II, which are a strong part of the HMF meta (for now). Phoenix is awesome.

What MasterSeedy said jefffogel1974 a G12 Phoenix team on defense in GAC pretty much guarantees that your opponent will need to burn 1 of their meta teams to beat it. That would also give you great ghost and phantom ships

....or just send in Rex/Wampa and get 60+ points. Bastilla/Wampa is even more fun.

Another good use for Phoenix in early gameplay is in Galactic War.

Thanks for all the advice guys and or gals and yeah im new to the game so am still learning alot of stuff which is why im here because I just couldn't believe how dominated I got by 2 guys. There is a lot to learn about who works well with who, so thank you all for the good advice on who to farm thank you!!!! I will put sometime into researching as well instead of just assuming I have a good team because of Vader and Bobafett lol. I never got into any of the SW cartoons to be honest so thats why I never even looked at these characters before. Thanks everyone!!
