Hello, I am struggling to decide a few things regarding ships and First Order for long term farming for raids and BB-8.
Here is my roster.
https://swgoh.gg/p/368424417/
For FO team, I was thinking KRU, FOST, FOE, FOO, and FOTP. (skipping KR and Phasma). Is this a viable team for raids, Territory War, GA? Is it very hampering to not farm Phasma or KR?
The main reason is I need 5 dark side ships to farm Zetas. I have Silencer, Slave 1, Imp Tie Fighter at 4*. I am getting Tie Advanced. My decision/question:
Should I not farm FOTP + FO tie fighter. and Farm Xanadu (i'm maxing Cade after biggs) or Scimitar or Geo Soldier? Which dark side ships should I go for?
Thanks for advice

It also requires First Order Stormtrooper and Kylo Ren to pilot.
Speaking of Kylo Ren, my First Order team would be nowhere near as good without him. To not farm him would, I believe, be a big mistake. He has a lot going for him and is one of the stronger First Order characters.
I would strongly advise farming Kylo Ren and the First Order Stormtrooper; and as they are two of the three pilots for the Command Shuttle, it makes sense to unlock Phasma and get her OKish to help out too.
So those three and the First Order Executioner would be my advice for four of the five characters for your squad at this stage. Just be aware that Phasma, while good in early squads and as a pilot, will have a limited shelf life. But don't write her off yet.
Phasma on the other hand is just OK. She won’t make your FO team great like the other chars will. She has a good leader ability, and that’s about it.
My suggestion is your base needs to be KRU, Kylo, FOO, and FOX. The fifth can be either FOTP, FOST, or FOSFTP. I typically have the FOTP in my team cause I like the damage. Make your FOO super fast that way he can call KRU to stun whoever on the other team right out of the gates.
Grand Arena is where Phasma can be great. 3v3 specifically. I use KRU, Kylo, and either FOST or FOX on def. On offense, Phasma, FOTP, and FOX make a fantastic attacking team.
The FOTP and his ship can do massive amounts of damage too. All the FO ships are actually pretty good, with KRUs Silencer being one of the best ships in the game. I suggest getting all of the FO ships. It’s likely we will be getting something for EP IX so might as well be prepared.
You want Kylo. The teamwide TM boost on Lash Out is part of the TM engine that makes it such a good team in the first place. Plus he's much tankier and can dish out some pretty heavy hits of his own with Outrage.
Placing him in a back territory in GA/TW with his zeta is also fun, as a lone Zylo can easily devour an entire B-team by himself if your opponents get careless. He stacks loads of defense and offense from taking lots of crappy hits, then explodes somebody with Outrage and goes back to full protection.
For ships, however, I would recommend looking at the Bounty hunter ships. HT is an amazing tank and synergises well with XB. Slave 1 and IG2000 are OK but not great, they will, however, get you the Falcon and form 4 of your 5 for the Tarkin Zeta challenge. If you're farming Kylo UM anyways, his ship is on the same node. That's 5. I understand 3 of those are hard node farms so if you're after something quicker; I'd say KRU/Scilencer, FOTFP/FO TIE, Boba/Slave 1, as your working on Cad bane anyways go for XB and either Vader/TIE Advanced of TFP/TIE.
