Phoenix Squad Viable??

Simply put... NO

Unless you need them for Thrawn then get them just to make your empire faction stronger

Depends on what you want them viable for.

I've been experimenting with them. They can blast through most of the GW while ending at full health and protection, so that's nice. They are kind of like a Nihilus squad in that respect.

I am eager to get them to 7* so I can try them in the tank. I have a feeling they will fare OK in Phase 1 and 3. I didn't drop mad money on them to get them to full stars.

I also have a feeling they will make easy work of Light Side 9B, which everyone likes to complain about, but - again - I need more stars on them.

One thing you should not discount, however, is the Ghost. Trust me on this.

Oh, and Ezra *is* a superstar. The ability to call for a specific assist is tremendous. His cooldowns are low, and he gets even faster with Flourish.

He *will* become part of a meta squad at some point - watch for it.

Ezra is already a part of a zQGJ jedi team which destroy any other meta team like it's nothing.

One of our guys had them all fully maxed. Couldn't even beat Zaul teams in arena.

Which only proves they can't beat Zaul teams.

The strength of the Phoenix squad (besides lots of buffs) is assists, counter attacks, and turn meter boosts. Maul starting every match with an AoE daze shuts down assists, counter attacks, and turn meter boosts. Unfortunate for them that they were released at the height of the Zaul meta.

They may be decent against some non-Zaul meta squads, but I have no way to test that since I didn't have $2,500-$3,000 to get them when they came out.

Well now they are all F2P... lmao

Seems like they have potential with Ashoka, but you can probably get the buffs elsewhere.

The Ghost and Phantom seem really good but they're still not farmable from what I can see. And 6 characters for 2 ships seems kind of steep

I don't think we'll get a straight answer about the viability of Pheonix Squad for a while because very few people had them maxed out this whole time. They were whale only characters, there hasn't been a lot of experimentation aside from sticking Ezra on Jedi squads

i was thinking of making Hera lead, R2, Kannon, Ezra, Sabine. R2 unique's work like Hera lead so they work and effect all of them.
