Executor is a beast? [MERGE]

I agree as Mal costs way more in opportunity cost…as you can’t just buy it like Executioner.

Don't forget the awesome value of being able to get the feats on upcoming Galactic Challenges.

What if you put the 70k of GET2 on malevolence into other things? Quite a few g13 characters could have been done as a trade-off surely.

Can't really comment on Mal myself, I've left it as a 5* GAC defense for now. Saving up the GET2 just in case, but I'll probably drop the GET2 on it once I've got past the 44k more I need for it to 7*.

Im very disappointed and regreted after spending on this ship, on paper it looks like it is a hard counter for current fleet but it is not. Once other fleet passes HT taunt, its over. The whole fleet is the way too slow, too squishy.

I have no GLs, but I'm a huge bounty hunter fan. My guild can't beat the challenge Pit raid yet, so I decided to start buying Aeromagnifiers to unlock this ship. So far I'm $120 in with 10 Aeromagnifiers to go. Couldn't unlock it today, but I've been working on it since it was announced (which was good timing because Piett was the last requirement I needed for SEE).

Piett r5
Ig-88 1 gear slot away from g13
Dengar 2 gear slots from g13
TIE pilot g9
6* TIE Bomber
6* Razor Crest
All other requirements met.

I must say, this thread has me a little depressed about the money I've spent. for the Executor. I'm not a big spender. I think I spent $40 for Hounds Tooth and $50 to get Beskar Mando. Other than that, I've picked up maybe half a dozen flash sales fir $10-$15. So I'm not a big spender. But I saw the writing on the wall and new that if I wanted to keep collecting my 300+ crystals each day from top 5 in fleet arena, I would need this ship ASAP. Now it's looking like that was wasted money since Malevolence is already doing the job it looks like Executor will do.

I mean, at the end of this I'll be able to run bounty hunters instead of Separatists, which is what I want, but that's not worth $170 to me. I thought this was a sink-or-swim moment.

I thought it was supposed to be, create the problem, sell the solution.

Not sell the problem and then sell the solution.

Well, if people will buy the problem…

I feel like an AI change would fix most of this. That’s usually the problem with high-offense, poor-defense squads (but not always). But pulling out a new ship would be… well, depends how the ship’s released. But I would wonder why not just release it pre-Executor and make it a requirement.

It's depressing that Akbar can beat Exe easily. Regreting to get this ship

70k will give you 700 yellow g12+. You can’t g13 a few characters with that, but you can buy the g12+ gear for about 2 characters.
Executor investment will give a 4* ship that will be 5* (at which point the ultimate cd will be low enough to see it in action) in 6 months. If you want to 5*her now, add an extra 6000 crystals to the bill.

I noticed, that i can auto a 7-Star Executor with my 5-Star-Executor. But not the other way round! Sometimes the 7-Star-Executor fails against a 5-Star-Executor manually, my shard mate told me.

And this is because, the turn order. the 7-Star-Executor is too fast for the BH! You have to set breach first on an enemy to use the mass attack and achieve your Payout! But its not possible to do this with a 7-Star-Executor. With a 5-Star-Executor it is possible! And often the opposing ships do loose breach until the next of the Executor. The hole turn order is dreadful
And 5-Star-Executor is performing better than a 7-Star-Executor in offense against any other fleet because of this fact! I dont think that this was intend

So CG need to push the Speed of the BH-Ships (perhaps with a new ship?!) or found a better solution for this.

So i will keep my 5-Star-Executor for now! its much easier in a mirror match and doesnt make a difference for Rebels or Male :joy:
