Tips on beating hard nodes 5-B through 5-D in the ship table

I did the last two for me today, 5-B and 5-F, with G12 Geos as starting lineup and Executrix with maxed specials. For every node I just needed one attempt. Before it tried mobilegamers advice, did not work, so I just tried with the geos. Vader as reinforcement, everything except Targetsystems maxed. Then it was a game over and I had my 3 stars on these nodes.
Before I 3*ed some with Biggs/ITF/SF and also Vader as reinforcement. Works, but not as good as the bugs.

Tried your strategy and worked perfectly my first try. Thanks Smoot Raider!

See Mobilegamers YouTube post on ships used to 3* those sections
One item is used Vader as a reinforcement

Actually, Mobile skipped 5C in that video. He skipped a couple of them in 5 and only 3-starred three he hadn't before.

On 186/186 for ship battles.

Tarkin lead geonosians is your best bet

I'm guessing my 7* Geo Ships with my 7* geo pilots won't work as well seeing as how they are level 53, 53, and 60? ;-)

But hey! They're all 7*.....lol

Here is the set up I used to finally 3 star 5D (did not work for 5E). Start with Scimitar, Biggs, TFP. Use Scimitar to buff Biggs, target Ashoka early with TFP. Bring in Vader, followed by Boba. Use only basic from Boba to keep adding protection back to Biggs. Slowly chip away until you use a couple ultimate's from Thrawn. Did not use my 3rd reinforcement of FOTP. It may have been luck, keeping up the protection to Biggs was the key and did not lose a ship. My Thrawn capital is only 6 stars.

Try switching to Home One as your cap ship. I subbed in a 38k Home One for a 52k Chimera and it was a cakewalk

Thank you Smoth_Rider! Man, you saved me tons of energy. Your lineup worked more then perfectly - I ended with FULL protection on everybody including Biggs! And I had less geared toons than you had (Biggs G11, Vader G11 and Fives G9). Those powerful tanks under Mace's command looked like helpless puppies.

I 3* all except 5C

I ran Vader brigss 5's ships rough it fotp and then fun fac though I feel the with option is interchangeable with a non tank that applies target lock with thrawn cap ship. Hopefully your case is far enough to go second like mine. Apply target lock use thrawns buff to give Biggs d up. Call in for when available to get freeextra target locks you him and Vader to widdle them down. Always use thrawns basic on Vader to already apply tl. Took me dozens of different combos to get it right but only one try with this team. Also only thrawn was g12 everyone else was 11-8
