Fleet Arena

I waited some time to give my opinion on how the fleet arena is in this new update of the ships, I did not want to commit any injustice by doing an early analysis, and my opinion is that even with the new materials, the ships battle was over... POOR
Decreasing from 5 to 3 ships in battle was a serious and grotesque mistake by EA. They said that we could still put 5 ships into combat, but they omitted that we would have 1 ship less than in total to take us to battle.
Many players using the Tie Reaper now no longer use it because the Tie Reaper is a full-support ship and the fleet arena has turned into an speed arena for attack and defense ships only.
I also noticed a slight decrease in the evasion of the Imperial Tie fighter (unofficially), now Tie Figter is hit more often by ships that did not reach it with ease.
The only good thing I found was deciding which ship to call for reinforcement in battle depending on the scenario that lies the battle, but this is not something that artificial intelligence would be able to do as a player will do it.
In short, now any player can win positions in the fleet arena, there are no more combinations of defensible ships, the fleet arena has turned into a true caster of those who occupy the top positions.

I know that this topic should be much discussed here in the Forum, but I still wanted to hear your opinion ;)

    They nerfed Reaper to pointlessness and Tie dodge by 50%. They did nothing about the atrocities that is Biggs who is famous in cinema history for being one shot by vader... but he’s a tank here. Yeah ok. They stated they wanted to eliminate cookie cutter tendencies and now my shard looks even more identical than it did before. So fail there.

    HOWEVER... they did do some useful ship upgrades I absolutely like! A lot of LS got buffs sure cause a lot of them were useless (resistance xwing still is) and are now viable. Cool, balance and all. Geonosians got a huge buff too! I noticed some serious buffs that people haven’t said anything about and I’m likely to keep mum about till I shock my shard with it because it is so stinkin funny to roll over everyone with a Kansas City shuffle in the fleet arena. xD

    Anyway... Biggs... is why I have such an easy time killing Vader, Biggs, Tie, Chimera teams. He’s the Achilles heel the (people who only follow) have no freakin clue about.

    All in all... I do like the update I’m some aspects, but dislike it in other aspects. They really did ruin a couple ships and honestly, Slave1 is still nowhere near the level he should be.


    I agree on Slave. I do not know why people are excited about the new Slave, it's weak as paper, it does not last 2 turns after it's called, I feared much more the Slave earlier before upgrading the fleet arena.
  • It's weak because it's taunting with no regen, but it fires back. So yeah you kill it but it kills you too.
