Anyone run the falcon in ship arena?

Ooo ok xD ye its safe to run scimitar from first while in offense, u dont usually lose it before gets biggs taunt from TL, just was saying while in defense xD

Ur combo seems so funny xD i run ur same fleet with cass as 4th reinforcement and also left fives a week ago for bistan, this TM/advantage to random ship when u trigget a TL is amazing (and my fives is low gear xD)

I don't own it and never run it.

But it's a pleasure to see it in a line-up I'm about to fight. Easy meat.

I have it and I will say this, it is a little squishy but in the right team it is a BEAST.

It hits like a truck, and with ackbar lead in mid game you can swing up to 7x with it.

I run it with ackbar ghost and JC, and my turns against even players usually go thrust reversal, JC called assist on falcon, ghost called assist on falcon, ackbar aoe (calling falcon most of the time). By this point one or two ships are already dead. Then my falcon swings four times (3x single plus 1x aoe). Then he reinforces and my. 5 ships work on killing his last 2.

Most of the time I play against people 50k-70k higher than me(because I have no resources to lvl my pilots till May), and there it's a bit tighter, but I am always in the top 40 with that team.

Agree with the ones above. Squishy. Yes. But if you can combo Chiamera, Biggs, and Falcon - that really can’t clear an entire team in one run with maybe Fives to finish off.

Falcon is a beast. So beasty that it has to be killed first. Combined with some tanks like biggs or plo koon's taunt it can grant you the victory

Under chimaera lead it can easily wipe all six ships at once. You should also try as it is one of the most satisfying moments in this game. As mentioned above just hide him behind biggs by using TFP or FOTFP since they are the fastest options.

It's satisfying when use falcon in offence, with right combination u can cripple enemy fast. But when u fight with another falcon, u start to wondering "will my squad battle like this too? it's so lame". The AI don't run him well :grimace:

Yours must be amazing because there's only 5 damagable ships in play at any given time

Haha got me. Never good at maths but mine can kick opponents chimaera too. Cant yours do that?

Absolutely... It's painful to watch.

Although most of the ones I run into have shit for health compared to mine.

I run a 7* Falcon, pilots G12. It's a great offensive weapon that has amazing synergy with BUW. It's got a glass jaw and can't take a hit though. Having a damage redirector is probably a good idea

It’s useless on anything but a new shard. You get better Biggs usage (i.e. target locks for insta-shields and insta-taunt) from dark side ships. I like seeing someone running any rebel or clone ships: they’re going to get squished on defense in short order even if they mak it into the top 10.
