Help on Tarkin Capital Ship Tier 5

What did you guys/gals use to beat it? I'm having all kinds of trouble. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Trying to finally star farming Zetas (after I get this done). This is my current team for the event:

Executrix (5 star level 75)

Slave 1 (5 star level 80)
TF (5 star level 80)
FOTF (5 star level 75)
Genosian Solider (5 star level 75)
Genosian Spy (5 star level 1)
Scimitar (5 star level 80)

That got me through Tier 4 fairly easily but Tier 5 is decimating my squad. I can barely get one ship out before my entire team is done

  • For 6 star challenge, I had Tarkin's ship at lvl 85 and maxed on abilities (he's my fleet arena leader), then had both tie fighters (no Vader tie) at lvl 75, Sun Fac at 75, Slave 1 at 80, and Genosian Soldier at 75... only other DS ship I had in reserve was Gen Spy, but only lvl 40. I beat it on first try so I'm not sure what strategies work better than others, but this team smoked the opposing team easily. I believe I had all of these ships at lvl 60-70 for the 5 star challenge and Tarkin at 75, so that is the best I can think of to help. Even though the Tarkin challenges were easy for me, I cannot, however, come close to beating the other 2 capital ship challenges.
  • You need to gear your pilots... that's how a ship gains stats. Nothing else really matters.
  • Hmmm....thanks for the tips. My pilots are modded decent. Boba and TFP are MAXED out Gear 11. Maul is Gear 10. All the others are like Gear 8.

    I'll try to boost those

    You need level 15, 5 dot mods on all. No stats of those mods matter though, so definitely don't waste speed arrows or speed secondaries on the ones you don't use elsewhere because it won't affect their ship speed at all.

    Make sure to upgrade their ship abilities as well, you have a solid DS team and should be able to smoke the challenges as long as your pilot gear levels are high (G10 or G11) and the ship abilities are topped out.
  • You can attempt the zeta battle with a 5* Executrix and you can use LS and DS ships in the zeta battle. Did you mean your executrix is 4*?

    No, yeah, I know I can do Zeta challenge with a mix. But since I already have enough Dark Side ships to make Executrix 6-star I figure I would focus on that. I'm waiting on one more ship to get to enough stars to do the Zeta challenge, but that's a few shards away from happening. This Executrix challenge can be done now.

    Ok, sweet. I have a bunch of junk 5 star mods that I wouldn't use on my actual teams. But I'll sink those into Genosian Spy and Soldier

    Thanks for that. I didn't know how mods affected the actual ship. Glad I can "use" junk mods for something.
