Hey everyone, so, I’m working on my rebel fleet, and I am wondering what ships are considered good, and in what slots? For example, are Phoenix ships and Biggs and Wedge worth investment?

I could be wrong, but the ideal rebel only lineup would be Falcon, Biggs, Bistan, with Cassian, Phantom, and whatever else off the bench (if you geared enough usually battles will not go that far past 2 reinforcements). Bistan is the real key to the ideal lineup, and I put Biggs in to let you use Bossk's hounds tooth elsewhere.

That said, it is important to weigh your options between fully gearing a improving your Rebels, or working on your GR or Seps for the new capital ships (which are a bit better all around).

I'm looking to get Chimera, so I need to work to level up some rebel ships to get it. I have the hyperdrive bundle, so I have Ghost, Phantom, Biggs and Wedge ships, but they don't seem to be good enough. I'm also struggling to get 5-star Home One with all the light side ships I get from the pack. Like, they are 5 star level 80 with gear 8 pilots, but they just don't seem to be very good, low health, low damage. Am I doing anything wrong? Ships is kinda confusing for me.

It has been awhile since doing T5 of home one, but chances are the gear is too low. Phoenix is probably still the best of the rebels to gear up from a ships perspective as you might need a few more levels to make getting Thrawn easier (and Thrawn is great). If you can max Phantom's reinforce ability (that makes it so you can call another next turn), that can really help as it is one of the best reinforce abilities in the game.
