3v3 Fleet arena meta?

It's been live for less than 24 hours. While patterns are emerging, I doubt there's a solid consensus on the new meta already.

I know its early days, but 49 of the top 50 on my shard use Vader + biggs +1 (usually scimitar or tie) with Boba as the first reinforcement.
It's beyond stale already.

He comes in with taunt, prot up, and retribution. Plus he can hit multiple times on his basic and can take a few hits. So yeah, he's a solid first choice, especially if Biggs is down.

Don't forget he inflicts ability block on the target as well, which can't be evaded or resisted.

Which is to say, don't forget to select your target BEFORE you bring him in.

And I prefer the older fleet battles personally. Things were much more simple, less time consuming. Or too easy. Now it is harder to beat the same opponents that I did easily until yesterday

It seems that capital ship speed is going a long way so far. Which means Chimaera is now quite possibly the worst one.

I won all my matches today using Chim, including a very easy one against Tarkin. No way Chim is the worst one now.

Does anyone else feel like they nerfed Executrix and beefed Chimaera? Not that the latter needed any increase. I used to easily beat anyone, including 7* Chimaera fleets, but now I'm getting decimated.

After playing a couple days now and refreshing my tries several times, yeah, I agree. I’m trying to mix up my lineup and strategically use reinforcements, but if I don’t have TFP in the initial lineup to gain TM, Chimaera gets off his big one before I get off my big one. That pretty much locks up their win. And even when I DO get off my big one, it doesn’t always destroy everyone like before. Definitely feels nerfed. (But maybe that will change when I get enough materials for the last +30% damage ability level bonus)...and my Executrix is WAY faster than their Chimaera’s.

I’m my shard, 98% in the top 50 had been using Chimaera. I was the only one in the top 20 using Executrix. I would consistently finish in the top 5 every day. And everyone running 7* Chimaera’s. Then they started jumping on the Tie Reaper band wagon. It was tough but I still managed to pull off a team who could beat them WITHOUT me using Tie Reaper. Now I feel stuck if I want to continue using Executrix. Almost everyone is using the Biggs/Vader +1 combo with Boba as first reinforcement. So damn boring. So much for diversity. I hate Biggs but can’t find a team who can beat them unless I do the same. So at the moment I’m stuck using that apparent meta and sitting between 10~20.

I’m still experimenting, but can’t figure out a team who will work with Executrix to knock down chimaera’s TM and be strong enough (yet not squishy) to quickly finish off Biggs. Umbaran Starfighter is a decent reinforcement, knocks of their TM (and I’m assuming TM of Chimaera) but he doesn’t hit hard. A maxed out Phantom could be helpful.

Those of you using a 7* Executrix against a 7* Chimaera with the Biggs/Vader +1...what are you using that works?

So yeah, I def think some parts of Executrix got nerfed

Geonosians with Biggs and reinforcements if sun fac, boba fett, gar saxon ship and ghost/phantom look pretty good.

Tie silencer also looks strong.

Two tie fighters and tie reaper took a hard nerf

Clearly not true.

Lol. You and pretty much the rest of the player base.
