Current "Ships Meta"? - Strongest fleet combination and admiral

I use AA with Biggs, Wedge, Ahsoka, 5's, and JC as my starters. My reinforcements are Maul, Boba, and CS. All are at least G8 7* and go up to G10. Ships range from 4*- 6*. With this team I rank 3-5 in my leaderboard

I am curious about what is the strongest combination and layout of ships for the Fleet Arena. What are good stand-alone ships, and what are strong synergies?

From what I have been able to gather, Ackbar is currently the strongest all-around Fleet Commander, but what are his best ships and synergies? Interested to hear everyone's thoughts, thanks!

Ackbar is probably the weakest if you ask me.

Tarkin or mace with target lockers are by far the best current comp currently

Agree.

Disagree ..

What I've seen work very well is AA command

Tie, FoTie, Boba, Biggs, Shore/DT ship

The two ties and Boba lock all the time - AA keeps Biggs alive

Scimitar as primary reinforcement .. His special with AA command continuously healwith retribution

Then have consular and others as to finish off the squad

Everytime I battle a AA fleet the capital ship gets very few turns, and when it does it is sending a reinforcement so it might get 1 heal or 1 attack in. I have not seen AA use its ultimate in battle in a long time.

Example. AA took 2 turns 1st was to renforce second was a heal.
My endurance had 4 turns.


On offense he can of course win without problems.

Yup AA is easily the worst. Maybe he's easiest to start off ships with, but at the high level, I lol when I see AA ships because they get a maximum of 2 turns.

I prefer Mace with a team of target lockers, and some like tarkin as well, but at least offensively, I can't see how you could lose running Mace with 3 Ties, Biggs, and +1 with max ships/pilots.

Is there a ship meta? I pretty much battle the same team all of the time. Everyone on my shard runs either Mace or Akbar. Then everyone runs Biggs.

Not enough ships to have a different variety of teams imo. What I run is probably the most unique team. Executrix(only one in the top 50 that does), no Biggs. Nothing but darkside ships. Tie advanced, both tie fighters, sun fac, Slave 1, Scimitar. I have a few light side ships as reinforcements. Finish top 5.

AA is way better than tarkin at least. People saying otherwise have probably never used tarkin.

I find on defense, Akbar doesn't call in more than 1 reinforcement. Sometimes zero.

I run AA ship and I am able to climb to rank 1 from time to time using scimitar-biggs/SF-Slave 1 como. Works pretty well on attack. The team is wiggs, JC, S1, SF, AT, Tie, Scimitar. My fleet is around 120k power.
But then on defense it is not good, so I drop usually to rank 5. Rarely to 6-11

IMO the best all around team is a Mace lead with Biggs, Geonosian Soldier, Boba, FOTP, and Vader (if you have him, otherwise Tie Pilot) Backups would be Fives, Clone Sergeant, Ahsoka, and Scimitar.

So much target lock to aoe spam with mace, give boba many turns, make his special hit everyone, Make Biggs taunt and regenerate stupid amounts of protection (they buffed how much he gets recently and boy is it noticeable), etc. etc. All the aoe spam lowers the cooldown on Mace's ultimate and has him go more often. All the tm gain makes boba able to use his ultimate more often. So much utility and offense. With all the target lock Mace should really only ever be casting his aoe or his ultimate. FOTP can spam his special on target locked targets. Scimitar giving Biggs counter attack has him target locking people and regenerating protection as they hit him. Biggs and GeoSol are assisting like mad too... It's a stupid fleet.


Best defensive team by far is the full republic fleet starting out, possibly with Biggs in the starting 5, but he's less necessary in rotating tauntville.

Best offensive team? Tarkin with all sith and empire ships, resistance pilot, fives, Geonosian spy's ship for scimitar to target (calls all stealthed allies to assist), and Slave 1.

Tarkin gets massive bonuses for debuffs, This team has a lot of them and as much synergy as you can get with Tarkin. He is nothing but offense.

AA is really good if you can get retribution from scimitar on Biggs. He basically becomes invincible.

It's been said a hundred times but the actual toon and his/her gear play a huge role in a ships overall effectiveness.

I run ackbar lead with boba, vader, biggs, scimitar, gspy. i strongly feel this is the best possible combo. I am always the lowest power in the top 5 by 15-30k .

I sometimes have trouble with double dispel teams. but if i can target lock their dispellers before their biggs activates, then my boba will ability block them and by the time they dispel my stealth synergy their whole team is dead.
