Disappointment
I'm disappointed with all the guys who told me as a new player to acquire Phoenix players and then in turn get Thrawn and his ship. If I had to do it all over again, I'd just get the characters necessary to go straight for the Revans. Thrawn's overrated. And squishy as hell.

Mine's at 92k combined health and protection, so not the highest but he's modded for speed, and he's a support character anyway, not a tank.
Good one.
Stole mine.
Thrawn is an immense toon and his fracture alongside TM swap / cleanse / protection regen special makes him a must in every roster.
Maybe yours would be better if you stuck on a zeta and have him more than +90 speed?
Then again, i haven't been a new player in ages so i probably don't know what i'm talking about. I assume the players who do give advice do though, but maybe it's outdated.
I would put him up there with the characters you mentioned. Also, apart from some Malak solos on GA, trying plugging one of those guys into random teams and see how they do, they aren't as great without their supporting cast. I'd argue Thrawn has far more utility.
That explains why you think thrawn is bad, you think he leads the teams he is best on lol
He probably would get a turn. Most people have decent mods on him.
He means the mods you have only add 90 speed. You need to be aiming for 120+ as a minimum I reckon. 90 is heartbreaking.
I'm not sure what that means.
I also don't understand why you're saying phoenix is bad advice at this point in the game you're at now. You're either talking about ages ago, or someone gave you the wrong advice because he didn't realize at what point of the game you were at. If you've got 14 g13 toons, a roughly g8/9 phoenix team isn't the reason you don't have either revan unlocked yet.
Try Thrawn (mod him properly first) , DR and JKR as a fifth in each of these teams:
CLS rebels
Traya lead sith
EP empire
JTR Resistance
First Order
and for the fun of it, Ewoks.
Let me know which is the most useful.
Heck, toss him into a Darth revan team and watch him make up for a slower BSF in a mirror. Works wonders
Part of the issue is thinking about farming order in the mindset of a veteran player. Sure, phoenix are not great and the Revans are elite teams, but for a new player Phoenix leads you to so many things (including the single best plug and play character in the game):
2 legendaries that can form a core of a solid B level squad(EP and thrawn)
2/5 of a legendary who is key to a Revan squad (gmy)
A solid capital ship for early fleet arena
The core of a very good fleet meta lineup (phx ships and other rebels used for Chimera)
That is a solid list of valuable outcomes from phoenix, which while no longer the only good option for starting, is still the best imo
