Scythe needed a buff, not a nerf

Do something about the Scythe. It gets immediately burned down in every possible game mode before it can even take a turn. What a let-down for a ship that requires Inquisitorious to be geared up, Grand Inquisitor unlocked, and 3 months of Conquest to grind out. Is there a more disappointing Conquest unit than Scythe? Even Scion Boba has some value in TW. Not Scythe though. Completely useless in every game mode.

Do something!

    I've had a ton of success with it vs Profundity. It requires you to have a reasonably good Gauntlet but not one so good that it goes before Prof.

    Executrix, Scythe, Palp, Gauntlet

    Prof opens on Scythe
    Gauntlet cleanses everything
    Basic with Executrix first, you want Y wing to waste its Shield Disruption on one of the side TIE's
    Bomber in first
    Profit

    It changed nothing for me. My Scimitar was too beefy, I guess. I didn't like the idea of never putting more gear on Sass. And I had little success using ships like JC to take the opening hit.
  • It didn't change anything for me either, to be clear. Scythe got burned down before, gets burned down now. This isn't about the nerf, it's about it needing a buff

    Try the comp I suggested above.

    As for Scythe's place in the meta, I understand the frustration. If it's not going to counter Executor or Prof, what was the point?

    Tried once and it worked, will try it again to see how it swims in the sea of rng that is Prof battles.

    If TIE bomber has to be first RI to counter Prof, I wonder what TIE defender will bring to the table. I guess we’ll see in a few days.
