Best fleet reinforcements?

I’m going to start working on ships. From seeing my shard and what they use, it seems, like everyone uses ackbar, Han falcon, Biggs, and Bossk ship. My question then is, which are the best reinforcements to put in those last 4 spots? And in what order should they be?
  • Congrats for getting your recipe

    Once you get the team, you'll use it a month or so and then you would post about ships being boring because of mirror matches.

    Don't blame me, I'm just being sarcastic
  • Order doesn't mean anything, for your selection process or the AI.

    I do see a lot of Biggs/HT/HMF, though personally I have finally been able to remove HT from the starting lineup.

    Anyways - reinforcements (based primarily on strength of reinforcement ability):
    Phantom II - no better way to even numbers. Another reinforcement next turn? yes please
    Vader - AoE DoTs and it's a supremely powerful ship in it's own right.
    Biggs - TL on entry means instant taunt
    Xanadu Blood - Retribution on all BH ships. Really handy when combined with HT.
    Slave 1 - Taunt, Retribution, Crit Immunity. Great in a pinch to take the heat off, but not very durable.
    Cassian's U-Wing. AoE cleanse. Almost necessary to get rid of opposing HMF early.
    Ebon Hawk - AoE Cleanse AND TL immunity for your side. Downside is it's not a rebel and it doesn't have the immediate assist attack Cassian does.
    Lando's Falcon - Gets x bonus turns where x is the number of times you've reinforced. If this is your third or fourth ship in, the enemy is in for a pounding.

    There's others, like Ahsoka or Umbaran or Poe or Wedge that are useful too - but the ones above are the more popular ones.
  • I use Phantom, Ghost, Cassian and Xanadu. Phantom hits hard first turn, and can usually finish off the opposing Biggs. Second is either phantom or Cassian, depending on whether one of my ships is breached (if not, Cassian can usually finish off the opposing falcon). XB is great once you take out the falcon, as it’ll give retribution to HT, but usually I see falcon and a stealthed ghost/phantom so I find myself calling it in less and less.
  • Phantom Cassian Landos falcon. I use ghost in my starting lineup.
  • Cool, thanks! I will have to look into those. I’ve heard lando falcon is amazing as a last reinforcement.
  • For ship arena, I start HT, TS, and Ahsoka, who does well against medium level HTs. I reinforce with phantom, Vader, and ghost; generally in that order.
    I had been running Slave, but I only use in starting lineup as the taunt gets him killed early; and his best use is the detonator thing anyway so you need the cool down.
    I ran ghost at start, but it was always targeted hard.
    As I develop both HT and XB further, XB will join reinforcements
  • Another Phantom, Cassian, Ghost, and one other post. I was using Rey's Falcon but have switched to Ebon Hawk. Most times I don't get the fourth out anyway.
  • I always go B-28, Sith Fighter, Tie X1, with Scimitar and Palp's shuttle on the bench. Boba's also there but he never gets to play.
