First Order SF Tie Fighter

I've literally never seen this ship used once, anywhere in the game. Is it any good? The kit seems solid enough, I'm just trying to decide if it's worth the guild shop currency to bring it up from its current one star. My obsessive need to seven-star everything demands it, but I'm also tryna gear up my Separatists, so it's a real quandary.
  • I actually quite like the Pilot. Decent AOE damage that gives all your FO speed up and a reliable assist stun. He's probably the 3rd hardest hitting FO toon other than FOTP and FOX.

    His ship on the other hand is very weak. It has potential though if they ever decide to give numerous factions like FO a capital ship.

    I have the ship with a g12 pilot to go and it is still not good. I have all FO ships and their pilots because I still love the faction but unless they bring a new capital ship (dreadnought pls!) and/or remake older ships with ep9 it’s not worth the investment.

    Well, that's disappointing. Thanks for chiming in though.
  • Pair him with KRCS and Silencer.

    KRCS is completely under-rated and under-utilized from what I've seen.
  • I got the ship and pilot at 7* gear 9 and 6* PvP 85. I run it as my 2nd team for TW under Tarkin. It's just a toon that if you have 5 or 6* and need a FO toon at low priority then why not take him and his ship to 7*/7*

    I totes use KRCS even though my Phasma is g9 (Kylo and ST are g12 so it's not that bad). It's like adding another capital to your lineup. I love it.
  • I used to run FO in arena so my crew on KRCS is almost maxed save G12 and the associated extra pieces on Phasma, and her zeta...

    The ability to custom manipulate that much turn meter is fantastic, topped with an amazing reinforcement bonus. I don't know how many times I've stolen a critical turn from the enemy on their reinforcement.
  • I use Tie Silencer, FO Tie + FO SF Tie in the starting line-up under Tarkin in TW. Reinforcements are Kylo's Shuttle and usually Reaper, Slave 1 and Lando's Falcon.

    The tactic is to first stun a ship with the Silencer, then use FO Tie's basic. And lastly use FO SF Tie's special on the enemy attacked by FO Tie, to assist with Silencer and stun 2 enemy ships or even take out one of them before the enemy even moved.

    First reinforcement should be Kylo's Shuttle and then I use "Strike Team" and target the Shuttle to give the whole team Turnmeter and advantage.
