Best ship fleet

Forget rebels and go all in on Galactic Republic right now. Chasing THE meta is far more intelligent then chasing a past meta.
Right now your focus should be:
GK
Anakin
Ahsoka
Fives
The rest are more plug N play.

You will not hit top 50 fleets in the next year with rebels.

Really? So going after the legendary Falcon is dumb? My top 50 are all GK with Hounds tooth, anakin, and Ahsoka (Except for the one GG with an all droid lineup).

P.S. What other ships would you put with that squad?

The Falcon is not dumb. However it and the Rebel fleet are a huge gear investment especially for a meta that has recently been largely surpassed by Negotiator/Malevolence.

Just to get the Falcon you need:
5 g11+ Bounty Hunters -> Chewie
(Bossk required, Cad ok, IG not recommended)
4 BH ships with g11+ pilots -> Millenium Falcon

And to compete with Negotiator / Malevolence you will need:
Home One - g11+ Ackbar bloody useless in squad
Falcon - g13r{x} Han & Chewie
Biggs X-Wing - g12+ Biggs
Bistan's U-Wing - g12+ Bistan & SRP (Carbanti hog!)
Cassian's U-Wing - g11 Cassian, g? Jyn & K2SO
+2-3 of:
Wedge - 1 g11+ crew
Ghost - 3 g11+ crew
Phantom - 3 g11+ crew (all useless in high level squads)

Better to go straight for Negotiator/Malevolence if you can and I say that as someone who has both full Rebel and GR arena fleets.

I see, so a full galactic republic fleet or separatist fleet? What ships would be used in either line up?

As a negotiator fleet I assume a Anakin, Ahsoka, Bossk, with Rex, Arc-170, Jedi Consular as reinforcements? I haven’t been able to find anything that can tell me what 7 ships to farm. I’m also in a pickle because my fleet is so weak I don’t have enough power to get past Fleet Battles 5 or Hard Node 4 so I need to work on something decent soon but I’m too scared to take a chance on a wrong ship fleet

I definitely will! Didn’t know it even existed. Thanks!

Both Nego and Male are the current best fleets and can reliably beat each other while Nego holds better on defense. If you care about TW / GAC your best bet would be to get both unlocked at 5* (set Nego on defense and use Male for offense) and while gearing up your GR pilots you can use the crewless sep ships and the Malo for your fleet arena climbs.
So personally (others might have a different opinion) I'd go:
1) 5 star Malevolence unlock
1.1) farm HT, Hyena (should become farmable soon), Vulture, Sun Fac and Geo Spy
2) use it as your temporary arena fleet for climbing
3) 5 star Negotiator unlock
3.1) farm and gear up Ani, Ahsoka, etc.
3.2) use Nego as your new TW / GAC defense fleet and use your last fleet arena battle with Nego to set it on defense
4) go for the 7 star promotion on either Nego or Male (debatable which one to go first)
On a note: You should also get the Falcon so you can use the Ackbar rebels as a secondary offense team.

That makes sense. I need to get my Seps ready for 7* padme anyway so a sep fleet makes total sense

Yeah, both fleets have that nice addition of providing good teams.
GR (Padme + friends) is needed for LS Geo TB (irrelevant for now I guess but gonna be needed in the future), GAS and is simply one of the best teams in the game currently.
Geos are needed in DS Geo TB and they're also a really strong team for pvp.
The rebel fleet pilots are mostly dead weight in most other modes (looking at you Bistan and SRP) so it doesn't make sense to heavily invest in them.

Totally agree! I haven’t been able to reconcile farming a rebel team but I need both GR and Sep pilots for other game modes so it makes total sense to farm them

I'm currently top ten with a geo team. I've been using Executrix, but I'm working on Thrawn/Chimera right now and might use him when he's strong enough, not sure.
Team line up is Executrix, Sun Fac, Geo Spy, Geo Soldier with Hyena Bomber, Hounds Tooth and Asohka Tano on support (although I'm going to change her out for Vulture Droid when's high enough). I bring out Hyena Bomber first for the crit reduction and buffs, and tank. Then hounds tooth or Ahsoka depending if I need another tank or I need to chew up some buffs on the enemy team.
My Geo's currently murder strong Hounds Tooth teams and my Geo soldier is fully spliced.

I'm currently in 10th and I think I'll be able to beat that today.
