Falcon meta

I am a bit worried about the Falcon meta in ships, as it is currently biasing succes in Grand Arena.

I dont have the falcon - hopefully I Will get it next time - but otherwise I have 4.25 mio GP. So I Will face some hard opps still.

In the current map layout, where 7 teams of 5 toons are needed and one ship territory, it is more or less quite easy to beat me with a single falcon on the defensive ship side, and 7 scrap teams as toons.

That really takes the fun out of GA, tbh. Could some kind of minimum cap be introduced on defensive teams, so scrap has to ve of a certain quality, or at least one or two teams should be above 90k. It destroys the balance in GA. But I still havent found a team that beats Falcon rebels, and not getting that Territory is more or less game over, in a map layout and format such as the current.
  • If you are over 4 mil GP you should have most rebels nearly maxed, and if you don't have Hounds Tooth you don't deserve to win. There are at least 2, probably 3 squads that could beat a great falcon team and if as you say they surround it with garbage then it should be when easier.

    HT is very helpful as a taunting tank and he can do it with different mixes of bugs, rebels, or empire teams. Thrawn can beat it or ackbar or even tarkin under the right conditions.

    The main strategy is to clear any breach debuffs then reinforce with cassian to clear buffs then call a hitter to assist and buh bye falcon...

    What you really should worry about is, that since you have over 4 million GP and appear to enjoy competing, why do you not have a HMF of your own by now? Getting a 5* the first time, the event happened, was very easy, as well as getting it to 7* the second time around.

    Getting your own 7* HMF would be the obvious solution, instead of having developers redesign a game mode to suit a player, who snoozed and lost.
  • We have a guy top 10 every day that does not have Falcon. Research Poe and Tie counter, and KRUs ship too.
