Just wondering. Ships 2.0 seems not to have changed anything. With Anakin's legendary skill as a pilot, and Darth Vader's centrality to the series, along with Tie Advanced's menacing presence in Ep IV, Rebels, and others... why does it suck so bad in SWGOH? Even after giving all my freebie mats to it and upgrading it, the thing holds up like a balsa wood plane in combat. Shouldn't it be a viable ship in the Fleet Arena?Thanks for listening.

Tie Advanced is one of the best ships available, specially now. Maybe your darth vader isn't up to snuff

so bad? Its literally one of the best ships, never misses, 100% Target locks, I do think that the 2nd ability of his is bugged atm cause it was not giving me TM per debuff. but otherwise, just for his basic, he's incredible.

So far it doesn't seem to be performing differently. Does making it viable in arena require completing all the new upgrades first? It's a guaranteed target lock which hits through foresight and cannot be dodged. On top of that thete's also the dispel/block.

If CG does anything to this ship, blame this thread

It’s viable now with the new format. Lot of Tie Advanced in top fleets now.

It's ALWAYS been one of the best ships. Now it's had a small offence boost, a small health/protection boost and its special has been improved. Where have you been for the past year? I thought literally everyone has been using tie advanced in their opening lineup forever

This.

Also add the 30% damage, he hits great.

Viable now with the new format? What?

It was the meta with the old format. Chim/TF/FOTF/Reaper/Vader. And sure still seems near the top now. Time will tell, but your statement reads like it was not viable before the rework, which is plainly not true.
