Phoenix Squad Mirror Matches - Any Tips?!

Hey Guys!

At the moment I'm in the top 10 in my shard. I reach the top 5 without any problems, but at this point I have a little problem: Mirror Matches! I play (of course) Phoenix Squad and in the Top 5 they're almost only (of course) other Phoenix Squads. And that is exactly my 'problem'. Luckily some Night Sisters are in the top list because I do not have a problem with them at the moment, even if they have almost twice as many trooppower as me. But Mirror Matches ALWAYS run into a tie. The opponents are also a bit stronger than my team, but that's not the problem. I can not get through his defense and he does not come through mine. When the 5 minute fight time is over, I have just done one of his characters (mostly chopper). I have tried several tactics (Hera first or Chopper first) but nothing really works fast or effectively...I even tried Auto, but nah. Do you have a tip or a good tactic? I guess I will not be the only player with this problem when I look at how many people play PS especially at the start. I do not want to hear anything about Zetas, Omegas, or anything else that can be reached in the Endgame. Right now I and my Shard are about level 52 - 56. Here is the link to my Account & Mods (i hope it works sometimes soon, right now it doenst show my chars): https://swgoh.gg/u/dafunkyboi/collection/

    I’ve been playing phoniex squad for a while (lvl72 #1200, my shard has a lot of empire teams and I missed out) in mirror matches I find chopper/Hera be easiest to knock out early ( normally I focus chopper) but it comes down to dispels. Enemy chopper normally goes first for me, I haven’t modded my chopper right, so I can dispel and stun the chopper straight away and then focus him down. I try to make Ezra swing as much as possible as he doesn’t have any debuffs that he applies which doesn’t allow for Kanan’s unique to apply the heal. Besides that don’t count on kanan/zeb to do damage with their basic attacks while the opponents kanan is alive.

    If you're insisting on playing Pheonix (they're an interesting squad to be sure, but I can't see them working against the top arena teams right now - JTR, EP, even CLS), than the best tip I can give you is to run full offense - both Ezra & Sabine. That should allow for enough damage output to clear out the enemy team, while intelligent decision making will make up for the lower survivability without Kanan/Zeb/Chopper (play around and find out which works best). However, for defense, always change to the defensive lineup - enemy Pheonix teams tie against yours, too.

    Get better mods. You have many 1* mods on your Phoenixes, you should get 4 or 5*.

    In terms of fight strategy I always went for chopper first, then hera - ezra - auto.

    I saved chopper's dispel for the enemy chopper and used Ezra's dispel on Kanan so I old focus on chopper. Once you get chopper down the rest of the fight becomes easier because you only have one taunter to dispel, meaning you can use Ezra's specials to feed yourself more turn meter. It's still difficult and with similar modded/geared teams you'll often draw - that's the way of it unfortunately, phoenix are low damage and high survivability.

    Outside of the actual battles you need to focus on your mods, they're the real key once you hit 50. There are a lot of good mod guides on YouTube but basically farm 5* health mods and level up any decent ones (watch the videos to understand what's decent).

    I wouldn't bother farming sabine, by the time you've got her up to scratch your shard will be well past phoenix. Just unlock her so you can get phantom II later.

    Look at the stats and mods of the opposition at the start.

    Never focus on Ezra your healing factor means you don't need to worry about their dps, make an effort to concentrate fire and take out chopper or Kanan first. I would say hera but the two taunters make this hard. Speed up your turn meter as much as possible by having Ezra calling assists from hera.
