Seriously EA fix the Phoenix heroes because they are way OP over any other player. I was doing a galaxy battle and had Vader, Bobafett, Royal Guard, Luminara Unduli and Talia all purple gear, all 5 star+ and literally defeated 3 of the 5 regular characters no problem but last two were 4 star Ezra Bridger and 4 star Zeb both blue gear and they dominated all 5 of my guys and constantly gained health every time I attacked them even without buffs or negative buffs. They are way OP and need to be fixed. 5 guys vs 2 and I was dominated like my dudes were level 1's. Other than Phoenix being way OP the game is awesome and one of my favs but if they arent fixed soon I will find something else to entertain me.

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.

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.

The Phoenix squad is in no way overpowered. Past level 75/80 they have no use except Thrawn, and maybe a semi good GAC and TW squad past early midgame.

You guys miss a lot when you ignore "Rebels" and just think of it as a "lame cartoon". It starts a little slow (and sometimes childish) in the first season, but the same is true for the beginning of "The Clone Wars". The 3rd and 4th season are great, Dave Filoni (who also worked on Clone Wars) is an incredible story teller and he really pays tribute to Thrawn's character from the original books.

If you can't beat 'em...get 'em and get yourself Thrawn and Palpatine and LSTB specials and secrets & shadows tiers....and an annoying back territory squad for TW and GA when your opponent used their EP or others on your front territories

Phoenix are relevant in all areas of the game and as stated for special characters. Get them star them up, gear them up, do the same for their ships. Due to this diversity, I’d say they provide the best return on investment light side. OG rebels will eventually, too, but they are money-makers that aren’t completely milked yet

Their main weakness is damage output. Other than Ezra, they hit like wet noodles

Sabine hits pretty hard, especially with her zeta. And once you stack up a couple of Armour Shreds through her Saber Strike ability, it allows some of the weaker Phoenixes to get some adequate damage.

Zeta Zeb hits really hard as well with his special

I swear I recall recently a Totally Verified Forum personality telling me a phoenix team killed his attempt to solo them with Nest when Zeb hit her for 60k.

May be misremembering.
