Tenacity or HP mods for phoenix squad?

Tenacity is junk. It's not balanced with potency, and therefore useless. Just go with health mods.

My biggest concern dropping Kanan even at lower levels would be the loss of the team's counter attack. Having the whole squad counter really ups the damage, and makes AOE attacks against you a very dangerous proposition.

As a start HP is the way to go. They more general use throughout the game. Tenacity mods may have specific uses, but I almost never use them.

Yup, go for health. Your first priority is just getting mods on your characters. You can move into getting better mods with speed secondaries once you have everyone with lvl 15 mods on.

Hi, Hera is usually 4 health mods and 2 tenacity mods. Primaries: square-offense, arrow-speed, diamond-defense, and protection on the rest. Secondaries with speed are great.

I would suggest setting up a farming strategy. Maybe 6/7 days you farm hp, and farm tenacity the last day. This strategy works at any level, I usually farm speed mods 5/7 days, and rotate between cc and cd the other two days bi weekly.

Health is a great base set to start with, and can go on pretty much anyone. You should spend your first month or so of mod farming just on Health to give you a solid base of mods to pick through. Tenacity is much more specialized, with very few characters really needing them.

I'm curious to see how phoenix will perform without Kanan and using thrawn in his place, especially at 5*. Thrawn is OP there's no doubt about it, but Kanan's taunt keeps the team alive while his unique helps with the damage. If I HAD to swap one out I'd probably go with Chopper, but even then you're giving up a lot.

I'd be really hesitant to drop Kanan from Phoenix, as he is only that can dispel and Phoenix really benefits from his counter chance and taunt.

I'd think Ezra(assuming you run him and not Sabine) would be the easiest to drop, as Thrawn can cover the damage lost, chopper has a reliable wipe, and his unique isn't the best.

Biggest issue with not running full Phoenix is for every member you remove, it weakens the rest of the group.

Ezra is my primary damage dealer, and as far as I have seen from squad fights, that is what the phoenix squad lacks. If they had a good damage output phoenix could go into lategame and be top arena competitor. I thought about Dropping out chopper as well. I just dont like how slow Kannan is. But I am going for HP mods, already have all my toons at 5 or 4 star mods for hp. Just waiting for credits to do the same on Thrawn and I will try him out.

The thing with taunts is that I dont use them at all in my current position. The reason being that I fight teams that have on average 8-10k more power than me ( does not look much endgame but I sure feel it when I fight a 31k team with 22k) and last 3-4 fights I ended up having ties because I could not finish off opponent phoenix squadron due to lack of damage. And with the passive buffs I feel like chopper affects dmg more than kannan. I could be wrong, that is why I came here for advice :)
