I am a low GP player, 630k with all FO G10+ and 7*. That being said most of my power lies in my first order teams and I use them as my front line defence. But with only 8 characters I need tips on good ways to split them up, and characters to throw in to the mix. Any info will be greatly appreciated

If you choose to go with FO I can offer some modding advice. (Lord knows the other guy needs it as well)
I really think you need to understand why I have them modded the way I do, instead of assuming I don't know how to mod. I have my FO squad modified to be able to hit hard, 25-35K basics. I have them modded to be split up, for 3v3 combat, and be able to take out almost anything in a 4v5 format. I don't use them for defense, because of how strong they can be on offense. They definitely aren't a third tier team. Do some more testing, try out what I've suggested, then let me know. Put up your .GG, let me see what you have and how you have them modded.
Very often people gloss over characters because of what others say, because of what is on youtube, popular ranking sheets. Grand Arena forces you to use what you have. I have used what I have and maxed it out. It isn't anything to scoff at, I guarantee you.... I can take out squads you'd be surprised at with my FO. I don't have a test account to be able to verify and reliably verify, statistically with what I've witnessed in battles. It's experience, and experience is definitely subjective. Looking forward to seeing how the final Zeta and adding FOO changes my squad.

I’m sorry. I guess since you posted a photo of them on defense I assumed you use them on defense.
Silly me.
I’m telling you, at a higher level they aren’t used as much. Yes, they win some matches. We use other teams that win the same matches but more consistently. We don’t put them on defense because everyone knows how to beat them.
Google is your friend if you want to see how mine are modded. I’m not hard to find.
Phasma lead gives a 20% chance to call an assist to FO and 10% all else.
KRU gives 25 speed and 25% crit damage, 15% TM on crit to a team that has crit up 90% of the time.
I don't know what kind of crazy arse data you have that shows Phasma is better on offense than KRU, but I there would never be a day that I believe a 20% chance to call a random assist is better than 25 speed 25% CD and 15% TM on almost every hit of the team.
Original Poster, as to your original question, how best to split them up.... well, you obviously have your two leaders in KRU and Phasma. Honestly, you can’t really go totally wrong with any five FO under KRU, so experiment in GW and have some fun. Of those two leaders, Phasma has a better universal lead for Frankenstein teams, and I’ve played extensively through Galactic War with fun teams under Phasma. I don’t know who you have geared and leveled, but here are some ideas (assuming 3 FO under Phasma + 2 more)
Ewok Scout and Ewok Elder are great under Phasma. EE gains turn meter on Basic attack and grants TM to other allies on basic, and ES removes TM on basic attack. Those are powerful mechanics that really add up when assists are frequently called, plus EE heals and cleanses your team and ES actually hits pretty hard.
Geo Soldier and Sun Fac work great under Phasma. Geo Soldier gains 50% TM on basic when he crits (tons of advantage under Phasma), and Sun Fac taunts, counter attacks, and dispels on his basic. Again, powerful mechanics on basics that add up when they’re called to assist. Also, GS has his own assist special attack, just adding to the carnage.
Old Daka and Asajj Ventress work well together under Phasma. Both these characters stun on their basic attack, and you can VERY quickly stunlock and opposing team. Daka has revive and heal, and AV dispels as well.
I hope this helps. Here’s a photo of my KRU, I take some pride in my FO teams. I’m currently running KRU, FOST, Zylo, FOX, FOTP as a defensive team in TW/GA and using Phasma, sfFOTP, FOO, Geo Sol, Sun Fac as an offense team with lots of luck.
Has anyone zeta FO tie pilot? Thoughts? Anyone think it's great? Anyone regret it?
I've stocked up about 50 zetas and I'm unsure who to zeta next. Thinking about doing his just to improve my FO team. But I'm not sure it sounds very zeta worthy.
I forget all the time what KRU lead is but I know Phasma's. I am always shocked to here how Phasma's zeta lead is trash. A 60% chance for a FO to call assist seems like a huge damage increase as opposed to 20%. Then that assist gets advantage I think. I would think a really fast zPhasma FOO FOSFTP FOFTP FOX would be the best offensive PvP team, mod completely for CD and speed because they are all going to have advantage.
