How do I beat Hound's Tooth?

I used to be ranked top 30 in my fleet shard, but lately I keep dropping and dropping, and it's all because I cannot beat fleet with HT...
What fleet would I need to use, or what of my ships needs some love? (and in this case, how?)

90% of my opponent teams are made of
team: HT + Ghost + Phantom
reinforcments: Vader, Biggs, Slave I

team: HT + Tie Silencer + Imperial Tie Fighter
reinforcments: Vader, Biggs, Slave I

team: Biggs + Tie Silencer + Imperial Tie Fighter
reinforcments: HT, Vader, Slave I

My best ships are: Tie Silencer, Slave I, FOTF, Tie Advanced, Biggs, JC, Imperial Tie Fighter, whereas Ghost, Phantom, Ahsoka, and Tie Reaper are so so. My best Capital Ships are Executrix and Chimaera

thanks for some help
  • I use Vader to TL and attack as much as possible with Tie Silencer. Use Ghost/Phantom II as reinforcement; use Chimaera as Cap ship. After a couple turns, you should be able to knock it down easy enough, especially with offense up and advantage on Silencer special.

    Another way to do it is to use dispel on enemy HT (I do it with Vader) and focus on enemy Vader. I usually avoid Silencer as AI is stupid. Take out The Fighter (Imperial) with only Vader/HT special. It grants too much TM to enemy cap ship.

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


    Dispels are still useful against HT even if Breach is out - it will remove all stacks of Protection Up and let the next hit do "real" damage.

    Either take it out with hard hits, use ITF's buff imunity (bringing it in as reinforcement works well for that) or use your Reaper to ensure, that your Chimaera uses its ultimate before your opponent to instantly defeat it.

  • All right, with Chimaera it seems that I got a chance to beat the HT... I'm gonna learn to use it properly and see if I can go back to the top 30.
    thanks for the tips!!
  • What I do is call Cassian's U-Wing ship on first reinforcement and remove HT's taunt. Use his middle ability that calls an assist and select Han MF to kill opponents HMF. Then clean up the rest of the ships and kill HT last
