These are the 4 counters I use

• Mal + TFP counter first strike 90% win rate
  
• Neg + Vader counter first strike 50-66% win rate
  
• Rebels — mine are Relic including Bistan = usually two shot with Raddus or Finalizer
  
• First Order — we shall see depending on nerf, buff or no nerf.
  

I usually put Executor on defence + Empire/Negotiator, precisely because there are several ways to clear an enemy Executor. How do you manage in TW? I’m usually killing 2 to 3 enemy Executor with my own in defence.

I put executor on defense. I never expect a one shot and when I use malevolence it’s complete rng to win. The only skill is to know what to do when executor makes certain decisions. For example if it goes after TFP and kills him first with aoe you lose. If it kills hyena bomber before first reinforcement your dead. When bringing spy out 70% of the time his all out assist gets dodged and if it does you may very well lose your chance to kill whatever ship it was. If you lose with MAL without killing anyone which most do you have like a 10% chance of killing it with anything else. I understand it’s a difficult ship and that’s fine whatever. But don’t start putting out ships at this difficulty if we only have 1-2 other ships that have a very very slight chance of beating it.

You could try keeping Exec for offence? If you’re failing 90% of the time to beat Exec without your own, you should change your strategy.

Well then I will lose because of banners. Executors battles are not straightforward and although I will win it I lose a lot of banners and they won’t. And because they one shot the rest of my defense I lose because of banners. Like today I one shot their whole defense and took me 3 tries on their executor and 2 on their Nego. Literally anything I do on character battles didn’t even matter. GAC all comes down to ships. You can sweat and bleed during character battles but none of it matters until you get to ships. My opponent dropped a battle on my LV but didn’t matter because of what happened on ships. If they want ships to be dominate so bad then just make a GAC only for ships. My alt dropped some character battles and my opponent 1 shot all of mine. However because he could not clear executor he lost. Literally one ship has been the cause of why I lose GAC and why my opponents sometimes lose GAC. It should not come down to just one ship every single time there is literally no fun in that.

Why would you lose because of banners?

You’re not making any sense. If your opponent dropped on your LV but you had kept your better ships for offence, how would you lose on banners?

Because executor vs executor does not give out good banners. I come out with just one ship left sometimes. And now that my ships on defense are much easier to beat he could just underman it and still win. Believe me it’s happened before when I brought executor on offense.

You should practice more mirror in arena. I never even bother upgrading my executor to 7 stars, as my 6 stars can either defend well for me or I can use it in offense for high banners. If my opponent’s executor is modded for me to one shot easily, I sometime save my 6 stars for offense, but usually I just set it on defense as Malevolence can either one shot executor or get to a state where rebels or resistance can easily cleanup.
