5*Hound, 4* Xanadu and Silencer, So good my 410k vs 361k loses every time

Ok so the OP comes on and claims his fleet should win because it has more gp. Without knowing what ships he uses that cannot be determined. If I randomly used all my highest gp ships it would make my fleet worse. I level ships to have at least two teams for tw/tb/ga since often thet ate restricted. But I use the ships with the best synergy in fleet arena and that isn't based solely on gp.

Another point is that bh ships aren't ptp anymore. I have a 7 star ht ftp. I use it in fleet arena. So can everyone else. So nothing is stopping the op from farming ht to 7 stars. I also have cad's ship at 5 stars. I don't use it yet but I have known it was good for awile so I farmed it so I can switch if needed. It has been out long enough that 6 stars or possibly 7 star is possible ftp with focus and allocation of crystals. It's also needed for ot falcoln which will likely be good so there are plenty of reasons to farm bh ships.

But if you choose not to update your ship roster, you'll lose in fleet arena. Just like you can't take first in regular arena with a maxed gk barris team.

There are counters but they will always be more difficult to win than by using the meta and likely hold less on defense. But we don't even know if the op is running a team that can counter bh ships.

Now, I'm not making any decesions about my fleet until the kit for ot falcoln is released. Since bh may be on the way out and a 5 star falcoln may be better in my fleet than a 5 star xb. We'll have to see but i need to star them anyway and they are all good so I will gear them for tb/tw/ga where you need multiple fleets because there will be a place for them.

So the choice is adapt your roster to stay on top or lose. I choose the first rather than to whine about the second.
