So what Phoenix Squad member do you NOT usually use?

I don't use zebb. I'll take chopper or Sabine over him. Chopper makes your team that much harder to kill and Sabine increase team wide damage output pretty significantly.

Zeb’s daze is clutch

I don't use chopper. I got him to 5 stars because i could get him faster than sabine for thrawn, but have since 7 starred all of them besides chopper. Sabine and Ezra are the only big damage dealers, can't imagine not using her. Chopper with Kanan just seems like overkill.

I don't use Ezra in my Phoenix team. He's too good to be wasted on the rest of those bozos!

chopper gives hp and prot regen, useful buffs to phoenix allies, decrease their cooldowns also he removes enemy buffs and stuns droids....i wouldnt call that useless especially for longer fights like TB. Chopper is much better than sabine imho. other 4 is just must have in the team.

Use chopper if you want the min possible for Thrawn event and TB, Sabine if you plan on maxing everyone.

this!

Sabine. She's a good toon but Chopper is more useful with his taunt, buffs and dispel.

Leave out Chopper....people with really weak Phoenix teams are dependent on Chopper, apparently...but, on a properly geared and modded Phoenix team, Chopper is unnecessary.

Chopper or kanan, both don't do much

Sure...Kanan doesn't do much....lol. To start, his maxed unique gives everyone 70% counter chance and also recovery of 25% health whenever they are hit with a debuff. Just with that alone, if you leave out Kanan then you're crazy. He can also cleanse debuffs on himself and another ally...and he taunts and grants himself protection up and can grant another ally protection up. But he doesn't do much, hahaha......yeah right, lol.

But when you're talking about a full team of Phoenix characters Sabine is literally the worst for the synergy of the team.

Always opt out Sabine in a full Phoenix team.

Then you don't have her geared and/or modded very well. Ezra and Sabine mow through opponents with her giving them crit chance and crit damage boosts and him giving them a stacking offense boost....Kanan and Zeb give the team all the defense they need. If you can't protect Sabine with Kanan's taunt and protection up from both Kanan/Zeb and Hera's back-up plan and Kanan's 25% health regain on a debuff and Zeb's protection gain at the start of turns, then you're not doing it right, lmao. Plus, Sabine gives everyone +25% crit chance and +25% crit damage.

Don’t listen to this guy^ he has chopper at G6, biased much? Take it from someone who has all PS G11 and tested them out using arena mods. Chopper is better than Sabine when using full PS. Especially in TB survivability > dps

Just with Zeb you get more than enough survivability though. I've gone 6/6 on the PX node with a G11 Sabine, G10 Kanan, G10 Hera, G10 Ezra, and G9 Zeb - and the whole team finished with near full protection. Sabine also helps your survivabilty by killing things quicker so you don't take nearly the same amount of damage. Regarding Chopper - I used Chopper, not Sabine to get Thrawn 7* so I understand what he can do. The team can work with both, but you can finish and kill things much quicker with Sabine. Zeb+Chopper is redundant as both Kanan and Zeb have specials that give more protection up than Chopper that can go on 4/5 of the team and with all that protection you don't get below 100% health for Chopper's passive heal to even matter.

The real answer is that it was a mistake to have 6 PS members. They should have baked Chopper's abilities in with Kanan and had a team of five (a la FO) instead of six.

To anyone using Sabine, since she is better for Arena.. you must be pretty low in Arena rankings. Cuz if you are using Phoenix Squad in Arena, you are dropping regularly. So, if not using Phoenix for Arena, then Phoenix is a waste of resources except for the minimum. And guess who is good if you just want the minimum, chopper. Yay, chopper wins

The heal is not what you use Chopper for. It's the protection up EVERY time you take damage.

That said, I'm working on Sabine in my spare time. She looks like fun, but they're all so hard to gear compared to what I can get elsewhere.
