Worst ship ever. It is not Exe counter. ****! Don’t waste resources
This is total crap. When you are unable to beat Exe with Profundity either your rebel ships are G1 or you play very poorly.
From my experience both ships neutralize each other pretty well. Whereas the Executor loses a lot more banners on offense against Prof than vice versa.
TBH Profundity is a decent counter, but you can definitely lose simply due to bad RNG despite immense relics simply needed to get the ship. And the r9 thing is obviously BS considering the speed in the kit. You can win with 5 star or lose with 7 star. And Profundity can hold on defense vs Executor, but so can Executor in mirrors. And it's possible that Executor is more cheaply countered, but then the question for a lot of players would be: "okay, then why do i need profundity? Is it just an immensely expensive luxury counter to a cheaper year-old fleet?"
Executor was only buffed because CG was worried about their poor fleet design resulting in lower-star executors having an edge, which would deter players from whaling crystals on quick 7 stars. This doesn't appear to be the case with Profundity.
We're in a weird point in the game where CG is playing around with ways of getting players to invest more resources, but get less power. And they might use infinite GCs to get people to get GI, or they might provide extra farm time and an extremely late kit release and hidden AI mechanics to use FOMO to get people to get Profundity. I'm not sure what the right answer is for stuff like this. Is Profundity garbage? No, that's silly. Is it worth the resources? For the vast majority of players, perhaps not.
