hi to the swgoh-universe,home one, fo tie fighter, imperial tie fighter, clone‘s arc and fives starfighter, scimitar.all 7* lvl 85, all pilots gear 12biggs/wedge x-wing/ahsoka starfighter/resistance x-wing/jedi consular‘s starfighterall 7* lvl 85, all pilots gear 11tie advanced 6* lvl85 vader gear 11kylo ren shuttle 5* lvl 85 all pilots gear 12to make it short: i know home one isn‘t the big player in the top 50, perhaps also my fleet.but i cannot understand, why i cannot reach the top 200 in my arena group without refresh. sometimes i have luck, but normally i have to pay 50 crystals for the 200 tokens more.what experience do you have? is it „only“ a very strong ship-group?do you have weaker ships but a better rank without refresh?i cannot believe that all 200 ranks b fore me have all 7* ships and all pilots gear 12.

It's important to remember every shard is different (and age of shard matters quite a bit). You won't see JC in many starting lineups in older shards.And I say this as someone who still runs him in reserve as an emergency protection/damage option.

There is a small number of shards that were made up entirely of people ranked top 10 in their arena shard when fleets were created. Are you in this group? If so tough luck and congratulations for not giving into the rat race and spending 500 crystals a day since the launch of ships to maintain top 10.

yesterday payout rank 206 with refresh. one more fight and i reached rank 178, but to late. over night i lost some ranks and „woke up“ on rank 423!!!any ideas or is it a bug?

hi naraic, no, i am satiesfied with my 1200 arena token, total enough for me and for 50 token more i do not need the stress.but if it is not possible to reach the top 200 with such a fleet it only can be a bug. also if all 200 have the same payout-time.that‘s why i want to know, if you all have to pay to get the top200 reward...

Guys would climb from top 200 to top 5 each day. It sounds like you may be in this shard. However. If you aren't on this shard, the reason you don't rank top 200 is because you don't run Biggs. Fotp, TFP, Biggs, Vader + 1 (I use fives, but you can use reaper, bistan or Poe too) is the lineup most run, with scimi as first reserve. You should try something like this.

do you have to refresh in ship arena to reach the top 200?

hi naraic,
no, i am satiesfied with my 1200 arena token, total enough for me and for 50 token more i do not need the stress.
but if it is not possible to reach the top 200 with such a fleet it only can be a bug. also if all 200 have the same payout-time.

that‘s why i want to know, if you all have to pay to get the top200 reward...

What you should stop doing is assuming there's a bug because you aren't doing as well as you want.

Do all your pilots have mk 5 lvl 15 mods?
What capital ships surround you? Tarkin and Thrawn run the show currently. Home one is an easy target.
Look for synergy in your fleet, for example, run Biggs in an all empire fleet maybe with FOTF, to get a much target lock as possible.
Always put scimitar in reserves.

The teams I avoid have that shoretrooper ship, or that Phoenix stuff, hard to deal with...
You're running mostly "old ships", which is easier to deal with.

That said, with executrix lead, I maintain top 20 with ease. So it might be just tough luck on your shard :-(

my start formation is:

home one

fo tie fighter
tie fighter
biggs
clone sergeant
fives starfighter

all 7*, lvl 85, all pilots but biggs (gear11) are good modes gear12 characters

reserve:
scimitar 7*, lvl 85, zaul gear 12
kylo shuttle 5* lvl 85, all 3 pilots gear12

two others, depends...

i don‘t say this is a meta team, but if this team cannot reach the top 200 one time a day, what do you think we need?

could be the ship arena is a hard one, but some hundret good fleets and a few hours payout...
can it be?

You need more target lockers for Biggs. Boba, Vader, etc.

That’s why I wait 2 days back at ships release before I joined arena . Totally dead shard and never dropped lower than 10

If you haven't yet you should join swgoh.gg and post a link to your profile so we can take a detailed look into your ships and see where things are.

To answer your original question my fleet maintains top 50 easily usually not dropping farther than 35 sometimes I spend a refresh going for top 10
