Best ships for fleet arena

Bounty hunters and then han’s falcon with Biggs + cassian and phantom

Unless you on a newer ship shard, if you don't have the Falcon, cracking the top 50 is tough sledding (since virtually everyone 50 down has it).

1. Farm hounds tooth
2. ???
3. Profit

My sith fleet is fucking epic. Hounds tooth is usually dead by the time I call in Palps shuttle, and when I do he's super dead with the dispell/buff immunity. Extinction bomber's protection recovery and sith fighter's fleet-wide foresight keeps my ships alive an healthy, even when facing a faster tarkin. I never drop below fleet rank 30, and usually I'm in the top 15, can easily take top 10 on the days I feel like it.

All the fleets I go against are at least 30k more power than me, usually more. I finish almost every fight with all my ships alive and healthy. Can't remember the last time I even got to call in boba, the fight is usually over before I need a 3rd reinforcement.

Can't wait to see what else CG will cook up for sith ships... Dooku's ship maybe? Would love an excuse to gear him up and throw zetas at him. Or maybe Nihilus' flagship? No matter what it's going to be fun :)

Hound's Tooth is the best ship in the game right now, followed by Han's Millennium Falcon (if you use several Rebels and Home One. The top fleets use both.

The Geonosian trio is also decent, and TIE Silencer, TIE Advance, Xanadu Blood also make for good members of a fleet.

Phantom is probably the best overall reinforcement, and other good ones are Sun Fac, Ebon Hawk, Cassian U-Wing, Plo Koon, and Biggs.

Ive got Shuttle, Fighter and Bomber all at 5* and they are my priority. Can't wait to try a New team.

To OP - I have run the following team literally since ships 1.0 and it can still work for top 50. Frankly I'm bored with it, but its just so dang good.

Thrawn Vader Ghost Biggs - Phantom Cassian Tie and FO Tie.

I have now swapped HT for Biggs and Landos Falcon fir FOTie. That can get you top 10. My only g12 Pilots are Bossk and Vader. No 6e mods.

People rarely mention Ghost in these threads, but even if you don't have Falcon it's one of the best ships in the game. The ability to stealth your best attacker for 3 turns, call an assist, massive AOE and apply speed and Defense down is just amazing.

Do you have the scimitar? In my experience you really need all the 5 sith ships to see the full synergy at play. Maul's scimitar allows for some crazy big hits while stealthed, and the ship itself is tanky and hits hard.

Also, have you ever gone up against an OG falcon with your siths? There are no falcons on my shards, so I don't yet know how I'll fare against them :/

I have scimitar. I have not used the Sith fleet in arena test but it did win 2 battles in TW last time. Need more gear on Marauder first.

Someone else reportrd they could make top 10 with the fleet but not sure if he was facing falcons.

Umm...no. I would give it to you that HT is probably the most universally useful, but there’s a reason that the top fleets in each shard have han’s Falcon. This is like saying CLS is better than JKR because Revan isn’t very useful outside of a Jedi team.

I don’t use HT right now, and many on my shard would argue that I have the toughest fleet to beat (falcon, Biggs, and bistan).

To the OP, I wouldn’t farm anything released before the bounty hunter ships unless you are farming to prepare for future overpowered legendary ships. Geo trio and all of those are now outdated and only good as a backup fleet for TW/GA. And I would argue that if you have BH and rebels with Han, you’ll only need 2 fleets for GA, so geo trio won’t even be useful there.

Right now you pretty much can't compete with Han's Falcon/HT/Bistan's U-wing for an opening lineup, assuming the pilots are all appropriately decked out. (moment of silence for all the carbantis sunk into Scarif Rebel Pathfinders everywhere).

If you can't get the Falcon yet, Bounty Hunters, First Order or Sith ships are probably your best bets.
