Executor Reinforcements

You really should unlock Ebon Hawk. It's a great reinforcement in mirror matches.
On defense make sure to select 3rd/4th reinforcements that won't be called before your BH or simply leave the slots empty.

Opponent (AI) always seems to call slave 1 first which for the most part removes RNG if you are decently matched. They also then use first special regardless of target locks.

I never understood, how does the AI determine the order in which to call reinforcements?

Eben Hawk is too important for the Malevolence counter to be put on defense with Executor.

Slave 1, IG-2000, Ebon Hawk. I’ve seen multiple 4ths, but I use TIE Bomber. On offense, I call Ebon Hawk first to get Chaff up to prevent target lock. Then Slave 1 since either I’ve gotten the target lock bonus up or it’s really close.

If you leave it empty you give the opponent a free point for the kill.

But you prevent the AI from calling in a sub standard reinforcement

Not to mention some of us at the bottom of kyber need those reinforcements to complete five decent fleets so that we have an extra one for the often inevitable executor 2 shot.

I’m also asking for Fleet Arena, where ships being used elsewhere is a non-issue. Where I am in GAC I don’t see many other Executors so on defense it goes.

after IG, boba and ebon hawk, I use Plo Koon for the 4th. Depending on how poorly my mirror match goes, he is occasionally my first reinforcement to a)bolster razor crest, b)clear marked from it to prevent its destruction, and then c)TM advance for his move to make sure i get control back. It has saved many a mirror match in arena.

In arean, I've seen people use Hyena Bomber and Plo Koon. Probably wouldn't want to use that in GAC.

You want Ebon Hawk first, Slave 1 next and IG third then prob empire bomber but almost never called so in GAC if using elsewhere don't even bother (it is rare 3rd reinforcement is ever needed anyway, ult almost always happens before that). Keep the chaff going.

Opponent (AI) always seems to call slave 1 first which for the most part removes RNG if you are decently matched. They also then use first special regardless of target locks.

On other matter, make sure your XB is a tad faster than RC. You need XB to call RC to get mark where you want (debatable but I think RC better).
