Finalizer tactics near endgame
So, I'm working with someone who is more-or-less endgame. They don't have any GLs, but are working hard on SLKR and aren't that far away. Part of the overall strategy is to improve in Fleet Arena at the same time as improving in Squad. Now, Squad arena improvement won't really arrive until achieving SLKR, but SLKR doesn't have a ship and to maximize fleet improvement, we're thinking just use Finalizer since all pilots will be relic'd anyway & they're a long way from either Mal or Nego. (They have all the ships & pilots for Nego, but none are relic'd save Kenobi himself, and Nego is only 6* so they're going to lose on speed in mirror matches & don't hit hard enough to take out the high-defense Hyenas going up against Mal.)
They're hanging in pretty well between #20 & #50, but I'm hoping to help them do better than that. I know Finalizer doesn't even have a complete fleet at this point, so expecting a first place finish is unrealistic, but getting top 20 every day, top 10 a couple times per week, & maxing out #3-#5 about 1 day out of 8-10 or so would be a major win.
My question, since I don't use Finalizer in Fleet Arena & don't have the high-relic pilots to try (I only use it against secondary fleets in GAC with 3x low relic, 1x g12, & 2xg11 FO pilots right now), is what should I advise this person on non-FO ships to complement the basic FO fleet, and what are the optimal strategies vs. Nego & Mal?
We've both watched a few videos, but they aren't breaking through to low teens/top ten. Without a complete FO fleet, maybe it's not possible, but some people are getting some wins against Arena-worthy Mals & Negos, and I want to give this person the best advice I possibly can.
Anyone use Finalizer often enough to have some helpful thoughts?
