When does Red Guard (RG) become viable?

Sid(L) will net you more DPS than Phamsa(L) statistically. Phasma will annihilate your enemy if RNG is in your favor,but will suffer on bad RNG stints. Sid(L) naturally increases crit/damage + poggle buff will give you the ability to one shot almost any non-tank. This is why Sid leads are becoming a thing over Phasma at higher ratings.

I would do Sid(L)/Phasma(L)/ Poggle/ GS / RG / (Lumi, IG86, QGJ).

If you want more sustain use Lumi, if you want to just ensure people die i'd use QGJ/IG86. The point of poggle/gs/rg is to kill the enemy ASAP so running a healer may not be your thing as the fights will be over in a few turns. Still, you have the characters to play around with.

Personally, of what you have, i would run:

Sid(L), Poggle, RG, GS, QGJ.

Sid is considered weak due to hp, but even if he dies his crit/critdamage bonus is still available. QGJ wont be speedy but can still assist/wipe enemy taunt + buff. Poggle can also buff incase QGJ is targeted first and dies to dooku (will happen). You are basically guarenteeing a team aoe buff at some point and GS/QGJ hit like trucks. Poggle + GS with buff on an assist call can even kill full hp tanks.
