You've unleashed the thrawns,why

Before thrawn: hitting top 10 in PVP fleet arena for 5 months consecutively.


Now: Barely struggling top 20


You just had to release thrawn chimera...

The empire still doesn't get anything...

    Debatable. My top 50 does have alot of chimaera, but there's sti l 12 tarkins, 6 ackbar, and 4 or 5 mace ships.. so other teams can still hold up


    Even in developed fleet shards most players didn't focus on ships much until crystals. You had maybe 10 to 20 people really putting effort and/or money into them.

    So, the top 50 in my shard has over 50% non-Chimaera... but the top 10 is 100% Chimaera. What's the capital ship composition of your top 10? Those top 10 players are going to have the ships and options to run any number of compositions... what are they choosing to run?

    The top 10 of my fleet were 7 chimaera and 3 tarkin as of this morning

    because you have a bad shard.


    In my shard everyone is 400.000 +


    i just looked at your swgoh.gg profile, if you were getting top20, you're on a weak shard yourself. @TVF has a better fleet than you've got.


    Thanks?
  • The top 10 is not a great example as it changes every couple hours I would say top 30 is a better measurement as they are all able to reach top 5 fairly easily

    That being said my top 10 right now is 9 thrawn and 1 mace
    my top 30 is 25 thrawn 4 Tarkin 1 mace
    Top 50 is 39 thrawn 9 tarkin 1 mace 1 ackbar

    Before the 2nd chimera event it was about 50/50 thrawn/tarkin with 4 mace and 1 ackbar and for the most part the names are the same it's way more about the ships in your fleet and having the right strategy the Capitol ship doesn't make a huge difference thrawn and Tarkin are equally capable
  • I have chimaera and I'm still using executrix and I get top fleet payout most days

    It's not like the chimaera event was a secret....

    Last point, I would wager that by the end of this summer, tarkin and thrawn's ships will both be obsolete since ships are the obvious choice for next new major content
  • If your only argument is, “you did good before chimaera, now you do bad.” I can’t help you my friend. That said. Chimaera, in comparison to other capital ships is completely unbalanced. Between the damage output, unresistable buffs, and a unique that is not nearly as “situational” as other capital ships. While windus special is spammable under certain circumstances. It hits less than half as hard as chimaera unavoidable AOE. Ackbar gives advantage up, chimaera debuffs entire enemy team and buffs entire friendly team while granting turn meter. Ackbar calls random assist, chimaera calls targeted assist. Tarkin deals ability block, chimaera deals offense down while buffing entire team. Comparing chimaera AOE damage to other capital ships AOE damage is disgusting. Comparing debuff/buff potential is just sad. And as far as uniques go. A tank or support can one shot most of your characters with a crit under chimaera lead. Making whatever gimmicky unique your other capital ship has nearly useless.
