While I agree that arenas are quite stale, I cannot accept arguments as valid that state they were able to get #1 in fleet before falcon consistently. If you were and you didn’t unlock falcon, it imply means that you managed your resources (400 crystals per day buys you a lot of things) incorrectly. An extended period of success in fleet arena should have more than set you up to unlock or even 7* the new millennium falcon.

The Revan meta is extremely boring, I concur.

I’m not saying that the falcon is unfarmable I’m pretty close to ready. And I was never #1

But, without the falcon I feel I’m completely unable to compete with any team that has it.

I have Anakin and TFP to try and inflict buff immunity to clear HT quickly but it never works.

The falcon chews through my defense almost immediately.

Sigh

How’s your ITF and Poe?

My tie fighter is good but hound always seems to shrug off the buff immunity.

Poe I haven’t geared or finished his ship so not too good. I hear he’s a decent replacement so might throw him in.

Assuming my itf crits I can kill millenium falcon 4 seconds into the fight

For those complaining about the falcon, this. If you can’t do this, then the problem isn’t the falcon, it’s that you haven’t diversified your OWN roster. It’s not rational to complain about the falcon crushing diversity of you don’t want to invest in any of the viable alternatives which have been tried and tested by many others and can be easily found on the forums.

But I have the tie fighter. The pilot is only g10 but he doesn’t make a dent currently.

What am I doing wrong?

You need to know your opponents. If they bring sun fac as reinforcement then you need to use itf, poe and ht starting lineup. You can’t beat a good falcon squad that has g12 pilots with a g10 pilot. If they don’t use sun fac you can run HT, silencer and gauntlet.

With poe and itf you need itf to go first. He crits and clears protection from han, next up is poe for the kill shot. Take 4 seconds. Han is dead second turn. (Problem is itf should crit over 54% and it’s more like 25 for me anyways). On this lineup my usually bench is phantom 2, Anakin, XB and Vader. Depends on how the fight goes but usually phantom comes in first.

The second lineup where you know they don’t run sun fac as first reinforcement for sure is silencer, gauntlet and ht. You stun Biggs first move with silencer. They’ll breach you. Eventually you’ll cleanse the breach with gauntlet and bring in cassian for the double shot with silencer to kill falcon.

I’m guessing you aren’t doing anything wrong, per se, just don’t have the pilots and ships/abilities maxed specific to these lineups
