I wouldn't quite agree with that. Which I do think Phasma is generally better, I would say there's a bit more to it than a straight comparison.

Veers is better at what he does - shoot things consistently. 50% chance of rolling a damage side is significant compared to 33%. If that's what your deck requires, Veers is better. Phasma is better at what she does, which is be a good 'backbone' character. However, she also requires an additional investment - while Veers' ability is mostly useless, Phasma's is just as useless unless you add an extra 7+ points to her cost. Veers' may only cost one less, and right now it's not particularly relevant; but if the Hero characters are anything to go by it's likely to be a critical price point .

I think you are discounting the value of a focus side when it comes to overall damage in a dice pool. That focus side can be worth up to 3 damage, and more than that if it helps get the only straight black damage side needed with rolled modifiers.

to me, 1 focus has significantly more value than a modified 2 damage.
