Leviathan isn’t pushing the meta…

In my fleet arena, 3 of the top 4 fleets are currently Leviathan. Beginning of week there were none. By next week I would guess 8 of the top 10 will be Leviathan, given the history of my fleet arena and being quick adopt the newest fleets.

Fun fact. On day one Leviathan which "isn't pushing the meta" got 16% in top-1 swgoh.gg meta report. That's definitely far from slowest "push" I've seen amongst new metas.

This number didn't go higher (which is understandable because all who could get it did it pretty fast). But it also didn't fell - which is pretty strange given how weak this ship is, according to the forums. :)

Many players switched back to Profundity

Their loss is my gain. Levi vs Prof is way more reliable than Exec vs Prof.

Same the other way around too

Prof v Prof is SEBAI

On topic, I can’t recall when I last lost a prof mirror in arena, not sure if I might have lost once with Prof vs Exec in the past few weeks.
Haven’t lost yet with Prof vs Levi.

I’m still questioning why I got Levi to 7* day one, answer is the hope of a quick round of bug fixes. Still waiting.

My Exec vs Prof is pretty consistent. Consistent enough at least with TIE Bomber.

I'm constantly getting spanked by assist train RNG in the opening. I'd much rather go Levi vs Prof - way more consistent and FAR less rage inducing than crossing my fingers and praying for the assists to freakin stop already.

CG put a ship out that was under-tested and as such, currently suffering from multiple bugs. And yet - bugged and all, it's still beating the two previous meta ships. It's been out less than a week, so it seems a bit early for people to be that upset, IMO.

I'm getting Lord Vader / "Lord Failure" vibes here. All the angst about how high the requirements were (or are) but still beatable. But also really strong.

So I'm not sure what people expect. My guess is by the time the bugs are sorted out, it'll be the dominant capital ship but may still incur losses on defence outside of just mirrors. I think that's the way it has worked in the past. Dominant, yes, but still beatable.

As has been stated here, Levi should be competing vs exec and profund at 5*. Just as has been the case for previous ships. It currently cannot compete at 5*, is barely useable at 6* and just breaks even at 7*. This is clearly NOT a ship that is pushing the meta in its current state. We will see once fixes roll out how it performs but right now lack of offense on the ships that are under it is causing a big issue vs profundity teams. Unless they bring a buff to their offense I don’t see this pushing anything even at 7star.

I was hoping by now to have a statement from CG saying either it's performing as expected or not, or have the bugs fixed. frustrating to go into anther round of GAC with this in limbo

My Prof is 5*, so I don’t use it in arena.

Except for the couple RNG checks, sure. I was losing once or twice per climb with Exec vs Prof. Now I lose zero times per climb.
