A 4* Hounds Tooth with a 2* pilot can hold taunt and survive against the combined firepower of a 7/7 Biggs, Geo Soldier and KRU, plus 6/7 Fett and 6/6 Ghost reinforcements.Granted the guy buffed his Bossk up to G11 but that is still a ridiculous state of affairs made possible by the ridicilous set of abilities conferred upon the Hounds Tooth.Biggs gains protection on a successful target lock, Bossk gains it when he takes a hit. (stacking)Biggs gains taunt on a successful target lock, Bossk gains it on inflicting breach (which can't be evaded) and regains it if any enemy is still breached when it drops.Bossk gains a big chunk of turn meter when any ally is hit so even assuming he miraculously loses taunt and you try other targets, he'll be right back.Biggs is often paired with Vader to reliably activate these abilities. Bossk gets protection for free and taunt damn near free.Additionally, Bossk gets tenacity buffed when not taunting, just in case you thought of stunning him.And Bossk gets health + protection regen on his basic attack if he has taunt. ('if' haha!)Oh and his maxed reinforce gives stacking counter chance to allies when they resist debuffs.Seriously, WTF?!??? He's Biggs on space-steroids witb a side of Vader and a generous helping of meta-munchkin.

Inflicting buff immunity helps. Try TIE Fighter’s special.

It's actually pretty easy to kill the under powered hts if you do it right. Don't know about a maxed one, haven't seen one in my shard.But basically, I run a tfp, vader, biggs starting line up under tarkin. My tfp usually goes first. Use a basic to get tl on ht. If it misses, you have vader up next to do his own tl. Then use tf's special and the ht has buff immunitu and no bonus protection. Then use your next couple of turns to kill it. Usually you can get it before it cleanses.I also have fives as a reinforcement, his basic can dispel the bonus protection and effectively shoot through it if he still has tl. So if you don't get him all the way call fives in and finish the job.Ht is a hard counter to geos but isn't invincible.

If you have fives he can also dispel as long as you have tl on ht. For tfp to work you also need tl so two other toons that can tl are helpful in your starting line up.

For example, i have both fives and ghost in my reinforcements. I bring fives in for a massive aoe if I manage to get tl spread and ghost in if i don't since it puts tl on all enemies when it comes in and calls a powerful ally to assist on the first attack. My biggs gets full protection from bringing it in so it is fairly safe. The other use is defense down. None of these purposes require g12 pilots.So as long as you can protect asoka behind a tank when she comes in, her dispel will work at lower gear.

Hey OP, I'm on a day one shard and consistently fight against about six/seven maxed hound's in various comps.
I still run geos under tarkin (everyone totally maxed) and my reinforcements from a left to right are tie advanced, tie reaper, Kylo shuttle, and tie silencer.
Against hound I switch to chimaera lead, and call in Kylo's shuttle first. Basically chimaera already boosts crit dmg passively, I use it's "cure" special immediately to give offense up to geo and soldier, then call the multi attack from geo spy on hound. As I have the shuttle called in I use its special giving 100% tm, advantage, and reduce special cd on geo spy; then immediately reuse the multi attack (this time with offense up and advantage). That usually burns down the hound or dmg it beyond recovery.
Besides, both shuttle and reaper have a dispel to get rid of the stacking protection, and the tie advanced too if the target is locked.
I hope it helps, cheers

I think Kylo's shuttle is very underrated, and purely because it's a hard farm, one of the hardest actually. The maxed reinforcement and maxed abilities completely make up for its abysmal speed. I use it right now at 4* in my 7* lineup and love it.

HT is overpowered, but that's ok. I'm farming him right now. in the meantime, I just blow him up with the Geo triple burst, after getting offense up from Chimera. Problem Solved.

Are you going against 3*ht lol? Because I go against maxed geos everyday and they dontt come close to denting him

I think the offense up is the key. Most geos run under tarkin or ackbar. I don't think they give offense up. And I think geos need offense up to make each attack stronger than the bonus protection.

Though I haven't tested it because my geos are horrible and I don't plan on gearing them. Vader and tf dispel and kill ht easily enough.
