https://swgoh.gg/u/adapting/So I've been working out my next farms, so far I've done Phoenix, and I'm almost done with Empire for R2D2, then will start working on CLS team once I unlock R2D2. For ship farming I'm doing Tie Advanced, FOTP, Tie Fighter, Boba, Maul (I might stop this one though) and Sun Fac (only to 5 stars) and I just started doing tie reaper. I'm wondering if its worth stop focusing on the dark side ships after I have Tarkin 5 stars and access to Zeta challenges to start working on the rebel ships.So I'd need Biggs, Phantom, Ghost, Ackbar, Wedge and then maybe Bistan or Cassian (which ever one is easier) but before I do all of those, is Chimaera better than Tarkin ? I like Tarkins IWIN button and currently around top 15 in ship arena every day.Thanks!

I’m sure a maxed Tarkin will always be able to take first with a maxed fleet. The thing is Thrawn is a better stand alone toon who most will max before Tarkin the toon making his capital ship better.Now if you have no problem maxing Tarkin the pilot, stick with his ship.

I was top 5 and could beat 90% of fleets in my arena with tarkin, 7* etc same ships with a not fully maxed 6* chimaera and I can beat 99%, and now finish top 2, so if you want a little edge, then yes, it’s worth it.In my opinion anyway

u need ds ships to get executrix for the zeta challenge.rebel ships are needed for chimaera which is one of the best capital ships as of now and yes, its better than executrix.don't give up on scimitar, its quite a game changer and synergize well with ghost. screw bistan's u wing, get cassian instead. its easier farm as well.

Do you think Wedge is the best way to go for the other non required rebel ? (I understand Biggs is a must have any way) Edit: I love Scimitar, he wins me games when I use his buff on the Tie Figther but its so slow, I've been farming him since I got ships, My boba is 5 stars and Vader is 4 , meanwhile scimitar is not even close to 4 and I'm not sure if I'll ever use Maul for anything unlike Vader and Boba.

I was born a sith so actually at the start of the game I didn't have a lot of rebel ships and till today they are still not strong. That's why I'm still stuck with a 5 stars chimaera...
It's not true that you must have a biggs ship. Many ppl have biggs ship because most of them have a decent rebel squad to start with.

The most important thing about Chimaera is that Thrawn is amazing. You will get Thrawn at gear 12 because he is amazing so maxing Chimaera will feel like it's free. If you don't have thrawn and chimaera you will have to max tarkin to gear xii just for fleet.

Then Chimaera on its own is better than executrix.

Wedge is a better choice than either u wing because other wise you need to farm 3 characters. Also Wedge works brilliantly with Biggs in either LSTB or in a TW team.

For me is about being economical with resources. Farming one character and one ship is a better choice than farming 3 characters and one ship.

Maul's ship is still great to have on the bench. I would keep farming it to 7* along with all ties.

Tarkin's Executrix is not bad at all. Just like Mace's Endurance he can beat any team on offense. While endurance is the weakest of those 3 capital ships on defense, Tarkin's Chimaera is the best, with Executrix slightly behind. Since you are competing in the top of your shard, I'd say that it's well worth it to get Chimaera even if it may be a long farm. Biggs' and Wedge's ships are both available in the GW shop while Cassian's is available in Cantina shop. Farming them will not interfere with farming Ghost, Phantom and Bistan's ship in fleet shipments.

Oh, I just noticed, that you are on a pretty young fleet arena shard. I would then definately recommebd to farm Biggs' ship from fleet shipments as well. His ship is your MVS in your fleet.
