How do I beat Hound's Tooth?

Having a ship that can call an assist with your best attacker + Chimera offense up.

I use Ghost + Vader + Cassian.

Vader buff remove + attack with offense up can do it.

I hear Ahsoka works but I have not tried her.

Only downside is if the initial target still has Breach, then HT is right back to taunting again.

As a bounty hunter ships player that occasionally breaks rank 50, my biggest fears are TIE Advanced x1 and Ahsoka's Jedi Starfighter. I haven't studied just how they dismantle the Hound's Tooth, but I don't like it.

I used to dispatch HT fairly easily with TIE Silencer and FO TIE in my starting lineup, and Vader off the bench. Silencer's special when it has advantage, and FO TIE's Strafe, both do enough damage to hurt HT through its protection. If you can catch it with a dispel (Ahsoka/Reaper) before firing Overwhelming Advantage w/ the Advantage buff, that's almost a guaranteed instagib if your KRU is sufficiently geared up.

Otherwise you can bring in Vader to knock off whatever's left of him. I used Executrix up until I switched to H1 for the Falcon, but Chimaera will work also.

Hint: look at Slicer's pilot ability.

Target lock the hounds tooth, use Original Tie Fighter to apply buff imunity, go to town on Hounds tooth before he takes his turn. That's my typical strategy. Also bringing in ships like Phantom to do a lot of damage in 1 strike are nice too.

My opening move is to attempt to stun HT with Silencer. If it lands, I can focus down a different ship with Vader basic + Biggs special/assist. If the stun doesn't land I hit HT with Vader to get the TL train going from his basic cleanse.

In Case 1 - I call in KRCS as first reinforcement.
In Case 2 - I call in my own HT to share the beating that Biggs will take.

As long as Vader is still there by the next reinforcement it'll either be KRCS/HT depending on who was first, or I'll pull in FOTP and spam his special. Keep passing turns to Silencer with KRCS and he'll start hitting for 150k plus on his special.

This also worked a bit before I got KRCS and HT levelled up, but didn't have the option of who to call in.

I used to use Ashoka to strip buffs and gain health on arrival.

People on my fleet shard mainly use Ahsoka. Cassian and Ebon Hawk can dispel HT as well, and their mass dispel on reinforce also makes for a great counter to Han's Millennium Falcon.

wedge as reinforcement applies buff immunity to target, ive found that to be helpful

I had to break down and run the Chimaera. I don't like it, and I wish that I could have continued running Mace, but ultimately the one shot kill helps immensely with HT and it feels like it holds better on defense.
