Do I need Phoenix for ships?
I have the falcon at 5* and will 7* next time.
Do I need to have the Phoenix ships in my line-up to have a meta ships arena team?
I’m asking as the Phoenix squad are an absolute gear sink and aren’t really that useful elsewhere these days.
Do I need ghost and phantom? Neither? Or one of?
Current line up: Akbar (L), hound, falcon, Biggs replacements: wedge, Vader, Anakin, Cassian.

Here is a resource for you. They are still a part of the current meta frequently used as reinforcements.
Awesome thanks
So yes, farm them
As for the rest of the game... they aren't meta, but I think they're a very good investment. Besides ships you need them for Thrawn, so you're going to have them partly geared anyhow. In the age of dead GP screwing you in Grand Arena I don't like putting anything into characters that I won't take to g12, and put in a solid team.
They are also VERY good even though they aren't meta. People underestimate them because they aren't elite, or because they regularly face half geared, poorly modded versions. I'm in a situation where due to my GP I need 7 defense teams in 5v5 GA. Add 7 more offense teams, and a couple of emergency cleanup teams, and that means 16 good teams. They are DEFINITELY top 16 at least. lol
In my most recent GA I was 2-0 going into the last round. My opponent and I both had Darth Revan and Malak, and all the other high end teams. We both cleared each others boards perfectly... except he failed against my Phoenix. I have a small number of strategic g12 pieces on them, plus Zetas on Kanan and Sabine, and solid mods (good sets with 6-12 speed per mod). After we both hacked through our harder teams that is the kind of team that will trip someone up, or require that they burn something decent to take it out. They single handedly have won several GA rounds for me when we've both planned for each other's top teams, and it becomes a test of how deep our roster strength goes. I'm VERY happy I took them to g12.
Interesting thanks. So maybe they are worth the gear.
I’m stuck at g8 with 5 stun guns to progress 3 of them to g9 😭
--fixed typo
I'd hold off from gearing them if fleet is your only reason since they just hinted another capital ship so the fleet meta might change / have an alternate meta team which might require toons that are more useful in squad arena and other game modes
I have also heard they can Auto Carth teams on O, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
I had the same happen around 2.9m with a g9 Phoenix team. Sometimes with my absolutely pitiful g7 Sabine instead of Ezra, even, since I sometimes save him for offense with Jedi. I'm around 3.3 now and they haven't put up a W recently, but I still use them on defense since I know they can still force an opponent to use up a solid character or two.
Eventually I'll probably take them all to g11 for fleet reasons, though i dunno if I could justify ever spending zetas on them.
keep them for offense...
My Hera is g11 now. Everyone else is g9 or 10. I use them in fleet and can take #1 muliple times a week. My Cassian is g8.5. Reinforcements dont have to be max gear.
True but there are much better better options. A Jedi Knight Revan team can hit much harder and are ironically easier to gear.
What's your win rate?
Cassian makes it essentially 100% (save a once-a-month dodge fest or something else screwy) so I find it hard to believe the best lineup doesn't include it.
You don't need a lineup outside of Bistan HMF Biggs and cassian off the bench.....
Oh totally. I took Cassian to g11 to max out his ship ability (guaranteed crit on both attacks) but Jyn is g10 and K2 is like, g8.
I did notice that after I took Ezra to g11, though, Phantom's 2nd special can now hit hard enough to damage Hounds Tooth past its Prot Up, and sometimes its basic can too. So I figured I'd beef it up a bit more. Plus getting Chopper to g11 adds Speed Up to the buffs it can give itself, and more speed is always good.
I took the less usual path of farming Sabine early, she was also my first zeta - back in the 150 GW days.
Chopper is my least developed, but Ezra has been seconded to jedi. At some point Ezra will make way for GK or Hoda, as yet I have neither; again leaving me the question of who to bench
Probably Chopper and use him with droids. But if you are using them on D maybe bench Ezra. If Chopper is fast he can cause problems for people especially if you have Sabine and Kanan zetaed.
