Immediate disclaimer: I am not saying the Falcon should be nerfed. I'm working on my Rebel ships, but it's going to be a while before they're in ship-shape (ayyyyy).Anyway, has anyone found a way to reliably beat a Rebel fleet with the Falcon in it, other than mirror-matching it? I'm honestly at a loss. My starting lineup currently consists of Hound's Tooth, FO TIE, and TIE Silencer. I'd heard that stunning the Falcon can work, but I tried that and no dice; it recovers from stun before their Ackbar moves, then Ackbar uses the LOLASSISTFRENZY ability and my FO TIE is dead before I've even got my first reinforcement. Attacking Hound's Tooth first doesn't do me any favors either, nor the third, which is usually Biggs or Bistan's U-wing. Basically I have to hope that I get extremely lucky and don't lose a ship to the AOE ability from Ackbar (maybe one out of ten matches), otherwise it's impossible to win because I just can't overcome the combination of the Assist Festival plus HT losing taunt due to the Falcon's auto-cleanse and dispel.Any advice? My ship options are very limited beyond what I already use, but profile link just in case: https://swgoh.gg/p/918597557/ships/

If you don’t have it, the odds are zero, of course, except for good rng with gat. But In other cases you have no chance.

Ghost reduces potency. If HT reinforces, he increases tenacity. Together Can be very bad. Breach is bugged right now to provide 25% accuracy down. There. ;)

Needs to be a priority fix. Its Not like HT needs any extra survivability, but whiffing 4 times in a row is absurd. Usually it ends up on a tank, but when one of your attackers gets it, it can ruin you.

I'm having some success using HT, Sith bomber and sith fighter as my opening trio. Sith Fighter works well against the enemy HT since he can hit under protection and my Bomber lands mines when he gets hit which will daze the enemy. I can generally survive the opening salvo just fine, but if the other fleet gets the full five ships out, I can't keep up on the DPS.

From what my shard chat has been talking about, kylos tie silencer is the answer. I believe there’s a video on YouTube on how to beat the falcon using the silencer.

I've yet to encounter HMF in the arena, but I wrote down some tips from my guild chat:

Method 1: Chimaera with Geonosian Soldier, -Spy and Hound's Tooth
- Absorb the first hit
- Gain taunt with HT
- Use Chimaera's buff special. The enemy HT should now have Defense Down and lack Protection Up.
- Geo Spy special and Soldier special should take out HT in two shots
- Keep taking out reinforcements as they arrive. Bring in Sun Fac or another tank for dual taunts.
- Take out HMF

Method 2: Imperial TIE Fighter and Poe's X-Wing
- Max ITF and mod Poe to be one step slower
- Use ITF's special on HMF
- Finish off HMF with Poe's special

Cassian reinforcement to strip HMF buff (and any taunts on the table), shoot a lot. Works pretty much every time for me.

Can somebody please explain what’s going on here? My maxed Tie Silencer stun does work only 20% of the time. (No, I am not trying to stun HT while it has tenacity up). HT breach on Phoenix or Biggs works only 50%. Overall it seems like in addition to all the other completely overpowered buffs and multi assists the falcon rebel fleet gets some crazy tenacity buffs. But I don’t get it where it comes from (so clearly I cannot counter it)

Ok. This is getting ridiculous. Biggs dodged/evaded/resisted (whatever) my Tie silencer 4!!! (In words: FOUR) times in a row just now. I call BS on that.

The last 3 matches, without fail... When Silencer has advantage and offence up, "dodge" on HT.

Every single time...

Over the last 10 matches it's at least 75% miss rate.
Can't be WAI...

All you had to do was to read back 1 post. Its not WAI. Breach is bugged. Its confirmed to be a bug for months.

Well it seems to affect a buffed silencer way more than any other ship....

Thats perception only. A breached ht also misses a lot, but noone cares because he doesnt do meaningful damage anyway.. But when youre 100k+ hitting (+stunning) shot misses, that hurts.
