Capital ship challenge

I managed to 5* Executrix, but the 5* Home One challenge is insane. I don't know how I'm supposed to beat it without more ships. It's like they forgot that they were taking two of my ships away and left the difficulty the same.

I actually got closer to winning before 2.0.

You may want to put vaders tie in the starting lineup. I would keep botht ties. That gives yiu three ships that can tl. Try and get as many ships tl as possible but at least a two or three. Call fett in for your first reinforcement and use his aoe. This is equivalent to four or five attacks depending on how many tl ships. Fett also tanks for you. If you can get fetts other special off it should also weaken the enemy a lot too. Either either way it should help you chip away at them. If you can take out the weak ones after that and gain an advantage. If not, it should weaken them enough to have Tarkin's ultimate finish them off. This strategy still works in arena so it should work here too.

Thank you I will keep that in mind. I don't have the credits to lvl up slave one atm.
My starting lineup is Vader, tfp and fo tfp. Reinforcements are geo soldier and maul.
I have silencer on the bench and sometimes I try that ship instead of one of the other reinforcements.

The skills of the executrix are maxed out but that swarm does too little damage because the opponents ships are too good.
I never destroyed more than one ship.
Although all of my pilots are at least gear 8, have mods on them and most of them are well skilled.
This challenge is simply imbalanced.

Is the issue with the challenge that it's 3 v 5 now? It used to be 5 v 5 but I beat it long ago. But fetts aoe should help regardless. Fives has the same type of attack but can't use him here.

Yeah the 3v3 might be the issue.
Because after a complete round the AI destroyed one of my ships and with their first reinforcement in round two they destroy my second ship.
There's no coming back from that.
The opponents ships are way too strong for 3v3 at this particular lvl.

Ackbar's 6 star challenge got a lot easier with ships 2.0.

That might be the case but the 5* challenges are very difficult and they should be rather easy since they're for lower lvl players.

Well 3v5 would be worse. It looks like they did remove two of tge enemy ships as well then. You may need a tankier ship to start out. If you use all glass cannons, you can lose pretty quickly, though that has always been the case. Also you can be down a ship and come back. Using the strategy I outlined above can weaken multipe ships when fett comes in. He also taunts and retaliates which spreads tl since he puts it on with his basic. Between his aoe and Tarkin's special that should knock out most of the enemies. But the damage likely depends on how high you have tarkin and fett geared. And I don't believe the 5 star cap ship challenges were ever super easy as in day one of ships content. I think the limit for me was having enough ds ships at enough star count. By then I had the pilots pretty well geared so it wasn't super hard but if I had just done star count and tried to use lvl 60 g5 ships, I doubt I would have gotten far. I'm nit denying the changes made it harder for some but it likely made it easier for others. For example, if you had 7 ships that qualify and they are all moderately upgraded, then it likely got harder. If you had 7 ships and 3 were upgraded really well and the other 4 were crap, it likely got easier. The point is there are always winners and losers for every change.

That might be the case but the 5* challenges are very difficult and they should be rather easy since they're for lower lvl players.

I disagree. If they are designed for low level players, they should be difficult but beatable for low level players. Almost every aspect of the game is hard before it can be put on farm. Making the 5 star challenges super easy at level 60 would defeat the whole purpose of the challenge. At that point you might as well give 5 star ships to everyone. But no worries as with everything else in this game, if you can't beat it, it gets easier the more you build your roster.

Every time I see this my self-esteem drops a little further. I'm still getting absolutely wrecked.

Yeah, I meant rather easy compared to the 6* challenge.
Not generally easy as in easy peasy. ;-)

The thing is, I have 6 ships at lvl 75 with their skills as high as they can be right now.
Tarkin, Vader and tfp are maxed out just no omegas on them.
All gear 9 I think.
The others are at various star lvl, at gear 8 with their skills and mods still to be leveled up to perfection.
But again we're talking about tier 4 here not about tier 6.
It shouldn't be required to have them all maxed out at this point.

However I do understand what you're saying, of course it gets easier with every bit of pilot improvement.
But tier 4 should be easier than tier 6.
If we were talking last tier then I would understand the need for maxed out toons.

Like you said they should be difficult but beatable when meeting the requirements.
And this is not the case unfortunately.

But I will level up my slave one, hopefully that will help.

It would be nice if they were beatable when meeting the requirements.

But I'll take your advice of course and level up my slave one.
I hope it helps, thank you for that.

I am also having difficulty with the tier 4 capital ship challenges. I am level 82 now and the GP of the ships I am attempting with are about 115k. my top 3 ships for any of the challenges have gear 8-10 pilots. If I get extremely lucky I can manage to destroy one of the enemy ships before I get completely obliterated. They usually destroy one of my ships in the first turn.

Developers need to address this please.

I also have this problem with tier 4 of Tarkans Challenge after attempting 50+ times I am about to give up any advice from Devs? @CG_SBCrumb, @CG_Carrie, @Kyno
