Fleet meta counters

I run a g11 ackbar, makes him the slowest in the top 5, on offense it smacks through any thing in 2mins. Clear breach with the capitals first move, bring in cassian as first reinforcement, nuke the falcon. Proceed to mop up from there.

Ppl always go on about fastest ackbar wins, I take top 2 everyday and don’t drop lower than 15 overnight. Simple simple..

In tw I keep cassian and ebon hawk for offense, you can clear two falcon fleets that way.

I agree that I don't think it matters much who's Ackbar is faster....on offense at least.

I presume you have a maxed out Bistans U-Wing?

unfortunately not - don't use him - aware that this is the obvious way around but don't have the resources to prioritise it at the moment

(meta report shows that most common squad is HT, biggs, Han's Falcon - just for clarification)

I use Landos Falcon as my 4th which is a great closer and can kill any full health ship if brought in 4th and most if brought in 3rd.

I was scared of Bistan fleets before but they seem easier to beat now that I am used to Falcon. I find Biggs assist much more dangerous to my tanks than Bistan. Just my opinion.

I did run into a guy that used Ebon Hawk and Cassian off his bench in the top 10. Maybe it's helpful on Offense but it didnt help him on D.

Ebon hawk is useful for bringing down HT faster due to Buff immunity and to stop TL advantage due to chaff and dispel enemies on reinforce.

Cassian is the other mass cleanser from bench

Any fleets on defense are much weaker because of IA anyways

I tend to run MF'er, HT and Biggs to start, come off the bench with either Cassian (to wipe all buffs) or Phantom (assuming HT has a taunt up and will just regain taunt when dispelled). Cassian + MF'er wipes out the opposing MF'er. I also run Ebon Hawk as 2nd or 3rd to again cleanse buffs if I need it for MF'er or HT. Ebon can also apply the Buff Immunity after it dispells, so it can help kill HT. I use Lando MF as 4th and he pretty much wipes up the floor with anything left if we get to him. Oh, I'm #1 to #10 on any given day depending on how much time I have free to climb back up.

One of the top ten guys runs Ani's ETA, and I fought him couple of days ago twice. The second time I targeted it instead of the Slicer after taking out HT as that bugger hits pretty hard. I won both fights.

I don’t lose on defence due to ackbar being slower, I lose due to the ai not being optimum on defence and the rng world of Hmf assisting in offense..
