Mace gives turn meter, and the dmg immunity, if timed correctly, will let you survive the Tarkin AOE.

The typical Mace build is DV, TFP, FOTP, Biggs, Fives, relief Maul, SF, Boba

@TommySitt I'm pretty sure most Mace ships don't have to time dmg immunity if built correctly. None of my opponents every get a chance to use their special before they've lost

That's you fighting them on offense though. If they can keep count of Tarkin's turn when they are fighting them on offense, they definitely have enough time to get in the immunity. They'll have the immunity ability ready for at least two of Mace's turns before Tie Attack is ready. It's just a pain to time.

This ^^^

I have both maxed out Ackbar and Mace ship. Which one is better ? (Both toons gear 11 also)

My vote, go Mace. I THINK Ackbar has a power advantage over Mace, but Mace still wins offensively. I won't reveal my secret reasonings for choosing Mace, but I have no problem taking first.

Only reason I get it 100% of the time I try is because none of my shard mates seem to want to communicate with me to share, like I would.

I run Mace, not sure I was clear there. I don't fight Mace ships too often, most are ackbar.

What I mean is that using dmg immunity is a waste of time for me. AoE all the way and I win too quick to worry about Tarkin or Ackbar using specials

@TommySitt I'm pretty sure most Mace ships don't have to time dmg immunity, if built correctly. None of my opponents ever get a chance to use their special before they've lost

TFP if multiple dodges, feeds GMT 30% turn meter each dodge, the opponent can make it to the 5th turn for the AOE

Hmm, I don't fight too many Tarkins, I think just one in my shard. Sounds like quite the bummer there.

Valor, AOE Valor, inflicting target lock, hitting target locked enemies with the Valor AOE, 18% offense if less than full health, of set things up right, you can run amok with turn meter (why I use Bistan). Then there's the Tarkin AOE defense as well.

AA teams start off a little faster, but once the tm train starts rolling, it's nowhere near a fair fight. Mace lead is also good for those pesky Rex squads that keep giving back protection, you just run circles around them with tm, target lock a few of them, AOE, pay me

I only use dmg immunity if it looks like I can't win before GMT 5th turn. Usually on O the rng goes my way and I finish before his 5th turn, this is true

The flip side is, on O GMT, if maxed with the three Tie fighters, can kill off one of yours causing a relief instead of Valor AOE, then they can keep hammering without giving tm because they're not damaging valor ships

I've always wanted to try Ackbar though. They've released so many good rebel ships lately, leaving Galactic Republic behind.

I run AA.

My fleet is Biggs, Boba, 5's JC, and PK. Backups are Maul, GS, and Ahsoka

Mostly use Akbar's heal and special, seem to do alright holding my own

You should really clarify what you mean by holding your own. Does that mean top 5 every day? If so, is your shard an original ship shard or one that was created after ships were implemented? You will see very different comps in the top 10-20 between an OG shard and one created later.

What kind of set up do you know of that are top 5 on an OG shard? I'm only Nov. '16 :/
