How do you (reliably) defeat Millennium Falcon fleets?

I've been using Poe, Imperial TIE Fighter, and Hound's Tooth. Imperial TIE leads off with Special followed by Poe's Special which blows it out of the water before even getting a turn.

Problem with this is that the TIE has to get a critical hit, otherwise the Falcon survives and slaughter ensues.

Is there a more reliable way to regularly defeat these fleets? I've seen people mention KRU, but in my experience he just doesn't do enough damage off the bat, and the Stun gets resisted quite often (plus, stunning the Falcon just delays the landslide while it hides behind HT and heals up).

  • I've been running the same team and found a way to make it slightly more reliable. Obviously landing a crit with TFP almost guarantees the win, but I've also found the following turn order can help snag a win when TFP doesn't crit and works about an extra 30-50% of the time:

    TFP fails to crit. Poe uses 2nd special to gain foresight. Falcon buffs and AoE's. Enemy HT breaches Poe (usually happens). Your HT uses basic so it doesn't taunt. Enemy Ackbar uses AoE and wipes out Poe. Your Thrawn uses heal or AoE, whatever situation calls for. Call in Ebon Hawk as first reinforce. Since Poe died from AoE, there are no breached ships on the field so you can go after Falcon and usually get the kill.

    Other stuff I've found using the above:
    If their HT doesn't land breach, then go ahead and taunt with HT and proceed as normal.
    If your HT somehow gets breached, taunt with your HT and call HT to assist with Chimaera.
    If your TFP gets breached, just quit.
    Use Poe's 2nd special because there's always a chance he resists breach and foresight can help him survive to help take out Falcon.

    Like I said, only works 30-50% of the time but it has helped me get my win rate up to about ~70% instead of ~55% when I just quick if TFP failed to crit.

    I wish i'd gotten any other teams to work, but the above is the best I've found ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
