Best 5 Phoenixes for GW

The Phoenix squad seems to have some awesome potential to complete GWs with a fair amount of health and/or protection still intact. But which 5 of the 6 give the best combination of survivability and attack power? Thoughts and rationales greatly appreciated.

    Everyone but Chopper. You already have one Tank, and others aren't exactly replaceable.

    Chopper has zero use other than his basic, so yeah I agree, drop the daily login character.

    Doesn't really fit the topic, but the one and only solution you need for GW is Resistance... so if you are looking into investing for GW, consider zFinn.

    Me too i use phoenix team in gw all but chopper since 2-3 month. It is very useful. Can do 1 to 8 with them even if 3 stars. I use often another team for node 6 that is very hard.
    They are at the end, full health and protection and save my pvp or other strong team for very hard node 9, 11 and 12.

    OP - don't listen to folks who have never actually USED Phoenix in the GW. I do.

    CHOPPER IS A MUST HAVE FOR GW FOR THE TOUGHER NODES.

    You want his health regeneration.

    The five toons I run GW with are: Hera, Chopper, Kanan, Zeb, and Ezra. If you are going to sub in Sabine, take out Ezra.

    Sorry off topic but I'm thinking about trying a squad that includes chopper would like some insight figuring you have him here is my squad idea. Luminara (zeta lead) chopper R2D2 gk plus 1. Is chopper without ps good he seems on paper he would be.

    Not from what I have heard, basically Sabine and Ezra are the only 2 that can be useful outside of a Pheonix team. But I have not tried it, so I could just be spreading rumors.

    Side note: is R2 a solution to make a more solid pheonix team? His cleanse on crit could be helpful and the stat boost

    I say everyone but Sabine, she has great power but she's a huge liability when playing the tougher matches against Rex/Zaul leads and against Biggs because she raises everyone's crit level drastically.

    I think chopper would be good with luminara because his basic gives a buff to a ps member as the only one he would get it in addition it has a 60% chance to reduce cooldowns by 1. Which would allow him to taunt more. The added evasion plus the bonus heal over time for every buff would make him very tanky. That dosent include the bonuses from R2D2.

    Kanan works great with Wiggs and K-ssian in Galactic War. If a unit has protection up at the end of the match it transfers over to the next as standard protection. This combines well with Wedge's lead which provides heal. Plus two counter attacking taunters dishing out offense down isn't bad either.

    On the thread topic, Chopper always seemed as crucial as Kanan and Hera with Ezra being the obvious attacker choice and Sabine and Zeb subbing in and out depending on playstyle/challenge.
