Alright y'all, you've given me great advice in the past, so I'm coming to you again. In the next couple weeks (hopefully), I'll be ready to give my first Zeta, and I'm not sure who to give it to. I think I have it narrowed down to R2 or Palp. Empire is going to be my new Arena team, but I'm also building up Rebels/prepping for CLS.

I don't think they are worth the zetas right now for someone just getting their first but there will be others who may have a more informed opinion on their viability. I just look back at the one's I feel are wasted now though and would love to put them toward Phoenix. Vader's Leadership, Kylo Ren's Special, ROLO's Special, and Holdo's Unique are 4 that I'd love to have back. At the time, I thought " now i got it! This will make all the difference..." But nope, not really.From my experience, chasing the meta 1 zeta at a time has left me frustrated a lot. I had more than 70 zeta mats saved up, 50 Omegas, and a couple hundred Mk3 at one point and then BB-8 and Rey (Jedi Training) came out and I had all their zetas and held in arena for ever. Started spending zetas 1 at a time, then Papls / Vaders reworks came out and Sion and I couldn't do a thing. I'm still paying for it as I hardly ever get into the top 5 now.I'm saving for the next run, brother cuz I'm not going though this agony again. But it's just a game, you wanna claim your 1st zeta then have fun and to it :)

Arena is a small part of the game, despite the huge importance people like to place on it. Would Kanan be my first zeta? Nope - that honor went to Emperor leader skill. Would it be my first step in taking Phoenix into uncharted territory? You betcha.

Looks like you've invested pretty heavy into Phoenix already... There are so many times I wish I could have 4 of my zetas back and have a monster Phoenix squad for raids and TB.I have the 3 zetas you're interested in. It is possible that the meta will move on pretty fast and by the time you get enough zetas to have an arena viable Palps-team we could be off to dominate teams comps from the Solo movie with a release of Scoundrels. Also, we're not done with Resistance and First Order yet... still 1 more movie to go in the trilogy. Not to mention I doubt we've seen the last of Bounty Hunters.Throw in the never ending rumors of Separatists and Jedi reworks and throwing zetas on Palps can feel like chasing. The best advice I have received when it comes to zetas in save up enough so you always have 2 to give so if something comes out that is really great, you're ahead instead of chasing.If you're like me and have to zeta when you get one... I'd go R2

Thanks for the advice! I might save up for a while, like you suggest. :)So, are you saying that Phx is worth the Zetas?

Palp lead is well worth it. Amazing in arena, TB, and TW.

Definitely - Kanan's in particular is a gamechanger.

But it depends what your goal is. Phoenix does not last in arena. If you have other goals, that's maybe a better reason for Kanan.

I agree about arena and I say that very thing often. I'm just saying the answer to "what should I zeta" depends overwhelmingly on where you want to focus your energy.
