Hello all, was hoping to get some new player advice please. I’m level 48 and focussed on old style rebels plus Bob/Lando - read old guides
Lando / Boba / Leia / JC / RG get me to about 1000 SA rank. Also farming Old Ben / Biggs / StHan. All in the 3/4* range currently gear 5-6
Didn’t realise Phoenix was so essential. Should I restart and focus on Phoenix or keep the above for CLS and now focus fully on Phoenix? I’m fully FtP. Objective would be to get into the sub 500 rankings and setup well for the future.

Coincidentally, Phoenix are also all pilots, and their ships aren't bad. Boba and Jedi Consular are also pilots with good ships, though Boba's ship is hard to unlock at first. Biggs is a great pilot/ship, but goes much better in regular arena if you pair him with Wedge (who also has a useful ship, btw).
So yes, start on Phoenix. Ezra in particular is a great character. Keep working on Boba, Biggs, and the CLS crew. Remember to get CLS you'll need R2, and that means an Empire team- TIE Fighter Pilot is a good character and good ship, Tarkin has a good capital ship, Vader is a good character with a great ship that is unfortunately hard to unlock. The rest of your Empire squad won't have ships to match them until you are much, much higher level.
Once you have a solid Phoenix team, you can transition to a Bastila-led Jedi team with your readily geared Ezra and Kanan. Add Old Ben as a second tank and whichever Jedi is easiest to farm in addition (they'll be swapped out for GM Yoda anyway). Lots of people on my relatively young arena shard used this strategy and still hold top arena ranks at level 80+. Later on, you can replace Kanan with GK and ultimately aim for a Revan-led team. At least that's where I'm headed with my new account.
Ok I’ll keep going and start to farm Phoenix here and there with a focus on Ezra and Kanan (as I have QGJ and OB - so more jedis can’t short).
Will also continue on some of my faves like boba, Leia and Biggs. Thanks again.
Phoenix is useless without hera though. You need to have 5 phoenix for them to shine and you need hera as leader. Get hera, ezra, chopper, zeb and kanaan to 5* at least asap. But ideally work them to 7* all fast.
Have a guy that only focuses on rebels his arena rank has dropped but still manages to reach top in fleet with assistance from guild mate.
even though using wigs ship and ackbar without assist fleet which makes him limited and more difficult against versatile ship lineup that use tarkin.
Have been days stuck outside top 5 but making adjustments to still reach payout we worked months to earn can be done.
Don’t recommend it but at this point he is only focused on cls and ships and accepting arena standing until cls comes where he can move up again against jedi.
