To be honest I have not fully looked at the squad but I have been told that it would be ripped apart by a Zaul squad. So it is not a counter to the current Meta.
Silver Lining it does give a reason for EA to claw back some of the overbuff they gave to Maul et. al.

Hooked on?
I hated to spend so much materials on those 4 characters and I can't use them in raids because of them not being 7*.
Now once Phoenix squads become farmable..then yes I will invest more into them. Like I said they did seem rather impressive to me.
I asked if anyone had used them successfully in HAAT, but none of the whales responded, I'll take that as a no then.
Pray tell what do you refer to here when the context is the Phoenix squad?
If they are not relevant to HAAT (because other super combos), Rancor (well, doh, it goes down in 15 minutes anyway), Arena (because Maul, EP & others destroy them) and GW (who doesn't complete with their toons already, Phoenix squad is not your answer)..?
We can't live without their ships?
It's a good sign that they aren't p2w though and when they become farmable I intend to get them then.
This game is for fun, and this might shock you, some people play it for fun. Some people collect characters, simply because they like those characters. Some people collect characters just because they get bored of the same playstyle and like to mix things up. Some people might want them for ships, some people might want them for GW. Some people might even want them for running tier 1 LS battles for the rest of the future of the entire game.
Not everyone cares about chasing top arena spots so they can gear faster so they can keep chasing top arena spots.
Just because you don't like a character, doesn't mean everyone else hates it too. If you don't like it, don't invest in it.
Yeah yeah, even if you aren't investing in them for arena. There are tons of toons most people already have that do anything they can do but better. What's the point in spending money on them if you already have squads for free that can complete gw, rancor, hAAt, arena, ls/ds battles etc.
Maybe some people like to spend money on pixels because they like how they look, but clearly OP is not one those people.
And i addressed that here.
Also,.... this is a card / character collection game - as we've seen with the forum wars about the rebels show - there are a good number of hard core fans that just want to own the character no matter if they are OP or not.
Couldn't have written that better lol
Now.... mod presets.... for the love of all that is holy. Please.
Now if we could just have a sandbox to play with any of our own toons against our guild mates teams that would be nice.
to the OP (original poster not overpowered) just wait about a month. The real overpowered team is already out there on the older arena shards.
Rex, GK, Chaze insert whatever level 1 gear 1 toon you want as the fifth.
As Chiruit (no idea if that is the correct spelling) gets farmed, top ten of arena will all be the same team, and sorry to all of those (me included) not in a guild doing HAAT to get GK.
The only problem with that is that it's only there because maul is the meta.
Triple cleanse can stop maul, but other teams can step all over the triple cleanse squad.
You may be right, never used DN as lead but the no crit extra health steal might do it. But against zMaul, they crush especially if they get potency up before DN can use force drain. He never gets to annihilate. And the auto crit for zMaul lead gives ridiculous tm (especially when you have SithTrooper and he crits on retribution).
The taunt juggling is ridiculous as well.
Edit: who do you use in your DN team. I am close to having an extra zeta that I might use on him. If this works I was thinking of just juggling his lead for my zMaul and going DN, DM, ZSavage, ST, SA.
If that a good DN team or should I be working on getting Dooku to a higher gear level.
They really aren't relevant to the HAAT in any case. GK is everywhere now and anyone who would buy the Phoenix squad would already have a roster that crushes the HAAT. Raid rewards are very weak on top of that.
You are correct in that there is really no good reason to buy them. Especially just to have them sit for a few weeks until they pop up in shipments. If arena was better balanced I might see a reason for fans to get them, but not the way it is now. It does look like they deliberately made the ships OP to force players to get them, but ships will always be second fiddle to arena.
I use Maul in arena, but I had the squad you mentioned on GW12 earlier (obviously not the same as an arena battle). It was pretty easy to beat tbh all I needed was;
DN 4* G8 messed up mods
SA 4* G8 No mods at all
Then the usual stuff;
EP 7* G10
DV 7* G10
Maul 7* G10
Only zeta is maul, but kind of irrelevant in this case.
Not true at all
DN lead has had the most consistent win ratio I've ever had.
It crushes Rex triple cleanse and even zaul.
I have never lost a match on offense with my DN lead against any single team
If I can get hit with this RNG at the start and come back and win like my end result I'm pretty sure you got that all wrong.
Edit: nvm misunderstood what you're getting at.
Anyways DN is most consistent team on offense I've seen
Even Zaul steps all over triple cleanse. Launch shard, I tried triple cleanse because I was sick of Zaul RNG dodgefest. Super on offense, dropped much harder than Zaul. I'm back with Zaul and we have only one Rex/ Chaze/ GK/ DN squad in the top.
Honestly, ships is the content I enjoy the most in the game - and Ghost & Phantom II are fantastic ships. That's why I'll take all members of the Phoenix squad to at least G10.
(I'm not a whale btw)
