Hey everyone, sorry if my question is extremely dumb, but in ship Arena I used to easily win against certain opponents with 4* and 5* Executors when my own Executor was also at that level, but since I got my Executor to 6* I have a way harder time winning against the exact same opponents who are still at the same level 4*/5*, is it normal or am I really that bad ?

There are variances in the flow depending on:* capital ship speeds* fighter speeds* breach (which affects fighter speeds and mark)* markIn general:* get full 6e mods and low relics on your starting pilots for durability* having RC 1 speed faster than XB is helpful but not essential* if your capital ship moves first you can AoE+mass assist on their Razorcrest, otherwise you heal your Razorcrest* enemy Razorcrest is your first target to eliminate even if you don't land mark or it gets cleansed. AoE and snipe it whenever you can.* the mirror is a debuff race - TLs to buff your fighters and debuff theirs, breaches to hit ultimate - so make sure you know which abilities can inflict which* your first RI should almost always be Ebon Hawk to disrupt your enemy's TL accumulation giving you an advantage with fighters* always use your ultimate the turn it becomes available

Yup, need to shift strategy depending on both fleets' capital ship and fighter speeds as well as whether breach and mark land.Better get used to the various battle flows now because you cannot mod swap to adjust speeds once you are locked in to GAC or TW.

I'm in the exact same boat OP! Exact to a carbon copy same boat!!I just got my Exec to 6 stars and like you I can't beat 4 and 5 star Execs. There's a 4 star I could beat every time as 5 star, now hording MY extra 50 crystals a day!I really can't get my head around the strat differences here. As a 5 star Exec went first against the 4 star (just like my 6 star now), but I can't win where I could with little difficulty.Maybe it's starting with the Xanadu Blood with a 6 star that's a bad idea. As that's when it seems to go wrong.

The key with 6* fighting lower stars is to open up with the basic on Hound's Tooth. Do NOT use the AoE because it doesn't dispel the Tenacity Up until it's maxed out. Wait until you've marked down Xanadu or RC before using AoE.

Do you mean Xanadu Blood? Hounds Tooth doesn't have an AoE. If so then yes I agree.
