Defeating the Chimaera

Ok, in fleet, am I the only one that thinks the Strategic Dominance is just a stupid ability? I mean, it one shots anyone? ANY ONE SHIP?!? Oh wait, there’s more. 40% damage to everyone who didn’t die, add 1 to capital ship cool down, and fully heal and add full protection to all allies? The description should just say, “Thrawn wins, you lose. You have 4 turns to get your affairs in order.” Spoiler alert: He dies in canon so stop making his ship a mini-Death Star.

    We don't need to talk about Holdo who straight up destroys the enemy cap, because there is no team currently to justify using her.

    Actually, Raddus is a great counter against Malevolence - especially in GAC because of all that protection regen. Against Malevolence you make good use of destroying the enemy capital ship. You save the Falcon's AoE for after Malevolence is destroyed to prevent the enemy from summoning new Vulture droids.



    What do you run under it?


    HT, Resistance X-wing and Poe as your starting three. Raddus will keep them alive. Use Rey's Falcon as your second reinforcement. I used XB as the first reinforcement for the extra breaches (to regain taunt) and to give HT retribution (to clear buzz droids).
  • Fleet battles hardly ever make it to ultimate anyway. Chimera would be my 5th or 6th best capital ship choice now.

    All of the replies to your OP are spot on.
    - G12 Tarkin Geos eat Thrawn for lunch. Especially with Hyena Bomber now.
    - Thrawn's ship in lore was an incredibly powerful and ominous event against Rebels.
    - His death is not shown. He is shown to disappear, not die, for a later return.
    - Even if the opponents use his ultimate, at your problem is your fleet if you cannot win at that point.
