Levi Mirror

a potential issue with this strategy is timing out, which has happened to me occasionally 

edit: Actually doing my FA now, and just time out twice. Not fun

Even if you start second and use ultimate first, you still have high chance to finish in draw, it is all beautiful how you describe that battle, it is so easy for you huh? 

Enemy Mark of course will get in battle second, if he targets your sith fighter you probably (99%) are done, so don't defend devs for this stupid buff that was no need for!

I'll try that strategy today during my payout hour. Hopefully it doesn't end in a draw.

That aside, I don't think players are upset that they have to use a new starting line-up or get used to a new strategy, I think it's the issues that come with that specific strategy that is frustrating. In this case:

1. Time out. Like I said, I have yet to use that strategy myself, but the other day I nearly timed out after winning the initial coin-toss in a mirror match (Fury, Dagger, Bomber on both sides). Getting TenUp with Mark6 might be useful in delaying the enemy Ult, but even if you get to the Ult first, if you can't get past the Bomber if it is present, what's the point? Imagine how it would play out in GAC.
2. Fleet Arena. Whether you win, lose or draw with that line-up, you're still opening yourself up to getting pushed back by other players during that 5+ minute cooldown window or after the payout hour. I'm frustrated enough when I wake up and find myself pushed back to 15+ (even before the rework), I shudder to think how I'd react if I find myself in 25 or even lower. Without any tanks, it's especially easy pickings for Executors.

This doesn't really address the issue that the changes were suppose to fix. Dagger was buffed so that it could be used in the starting line up with Fury and the tank, but this new mirror team forces us to remove the tank. Plus, it was designed so that it could hold better against Executor and P1, which this new team won't do without a tank. Executors opening mass attack will beat dagger instantly, negating the new buffs. Not that is matters, since even if I did set Dagger, Fury and Tank to defense it can still be beaten by Executors with 3 star P1s.

Honestly, all that's happened is that we've swapped out 2 ships to create a weaker team defensively, forcing us to do another fight to set the proper defensive team, which is still weak to Executor. It's was just a lot of shuffling things around to end up right back where we were, but worse because mirror matches are now painful.

I really wish CG would switch it back. 

And I will repeat what I've said, their changes are untested garbage and all they managed to do is **bleep** off the vast majority of people by making this more of a time suck than it needs to be.  Put it back and TEST YOUR GAME CG!!!

When I'm running the new triple attacker I don't have any issues getting ult first. I can just never get past bomber. And every opponent manages to get mk out 2nd so I'm at even more of a time out risk. Anyone know how to get past bomber?

Sorry to say. This strategy doesn't work. I read this and decided to try it and nope...they focused my dagger so I could never keep stacks high enough. Followed it exactly as you said.

CG is probably the worst mobile gaming company in history and will probably keep that record. They have zero sense of game balance and have never cared about the community...ever since the CG_Carrie days. She was a disaster.

So this is just another blunder on their part. I wish I'd hit the billionaire lottery. I'd buy the company out and make it far more friendly and successful. 

Anyway, yeah it doesn't work.
