Ackbar fleet event final wave

I was irritated that the sonic bomb wasn't on countdown but it didn't actually do too much damage to my ships. How complete are your pilots? The bomb did not destroy any of my ships except Biggs who had been taunting and was in deep red going into that wave.

All of my pilots are tier 9 or above except for the Phoenix team they are at least tier 6 all ships but one are 7 star

just gotta keep gearing up to gear 11

If it's anything like previous capital ship challenges, they are heavily RNG based and it could take multiple retries! Does the event always play out in the same pattern-enemy reinforcements, dodges, etc.?

Rex was my MVP for this fight.

I got trashed the first time when I went in with a starting lineup of:

Biggs (7 ship, 7 char, G10)
Wedge (7 ship, 7 char, G11)
Asohka (7 ship, 7 char, G10)
Ghost (6 ship, 7 crew, G8 crew)
Phantom II (6 ship, 7 crew, G8 Chop/Sabine, G10 Ezra).

As reinforcements I had:
Fives (7 ship, 7 crew, G9)
Poe (7 ship, 7 crew, G11)
Rex (7 ship, 7 crew, G10)

I learned in that first fight, though, that the enemy pretty much doesn't buff at all. Not like fighting in the arena versus a taunting Biggs, a buff-spamming Plo Koon, or a Retribution-granting Tarkin or Maul. So I swapped Asohka and Rex, putting Rex in the starting lineup and saving Asohka so she could have a crit-guaranteed special on reinforcement to do 50k+ damage.

But it was actually that combo of Rex plus Biggs that won it for me, I think. Rex was able to get two of his specials in to restore Biggs' protection, and Rex' basic doing target lock on unbuffed opponents also kept Biggs topped off in protection. The extra few target locks from Biggs also made Ghost's attacks more effective, and I think I got one or two times where one of my ships resisted a debuff and triggered Rex' unique that gives people protection recovery.

Because of Rex, I went into the third round nearly full of health and protection across the board. I did lose someone there and brought Poe in to finish off, but 2 stars still gets you the 15 Ackbar shards. :)

I pulled it off through I finally got to do ackbars ult right before the sonic bomb and was able to do it. Thank you to everyone who helped with your advice

I just ran an all Galactic Republic squad and it was cake. Just gotta hit enemies that aren't buffed/debuffed with Rex so he can land his TL, then spread the TL around with Fives' special, do the assist special from Consular with Rex so he gets more Prot, and have Plo give taunt to Rex while speeding up the rest of your ships.

Yes, Boba was starting off cooldown, just like in TB. I just got a response from Kozi saying it was flagged as a bug.

So you noticed Chimaera's ultimate off cooldown too? I thought I was noticing that, but then I tried again and it didn't seem to be the case. But then when it did go off, they all took damage, but not a single one was annihilated. Put this in the same thread, but don't know if Kozi's acknowledgement was looking at that as well.

I usually stay top 20 in arena. It's actually an easy victory...

Chimaera's ultimate starts on cooldown. What you're probably seeing is the AoE, which looks very similar. Once the Chimaera is out and people have gotten used to seeing it in Fleet Arena it should be easier to understand what is going on.
