Is the Y-wing better than Hound’s Tooth?

3* y-wing has 60k health and 36k protection. At the start of battle it'd get +75% max protection (+27k, 15%/GR ally). Ahsoka or Anakin could almost one shot it (60k+36k+27k =123k). It'd need a few more stars to hang around for more than a turn or two. 5* should make it more attractive as a clone arc reenforcement replacement, as it's maxed reenforcement ability looks good (allies get retribution, though ywing is taunting).

I had success climbing with it at 3 stars with max abilities replacing g12 clone sergeant as a reinforcement - but the battles this evening were more or less decided by the point it came in anyways, so that is fairly subjective point of view...

It's not a crazy question. Remember Malak at 5*?

sure, but a free ship isn't really comparable to malak and his requirements

Ya but malak could be geared and modded, on top of leveled to 85 and having abilities

Long story short, Y-wing at 7 stars > HT at 7 stars in Negotiator fleets. Slightly harder to kill and better reinforcement for GR ships than HT. That said, HT > Y-wing with every other capital ship.

Could be decent with mace due to the amount of valor he gives out, but lack of ul from negotiator will certainly make it taunt less.

The whale at the top of my fleet arena is easier for me to beat now that he uses y-wing bomber. Not sure if it’s just me. I think HT is much better even with Negotiator.

Edit: He runs a 7* Y-wing BTW.

On defense Y-wing may be worse than HT in starting lineup due to Negotiator's AI, at least against HMF attacker. Negotiator uses Republic Protection instead of Mobilize as first move if some of GR ships are badly hurt, and without HT it's much easier to force him do so. And when Mobilize hits on third turn instead of first, the battle is usually much easier for attacker.

Fine. Remember Bastilla at 4*?

Yes, she definitely replaced a 7* G12 GMY. Oh, wait

Me personally opt out HT with R3 Bossk for 3* y-wing as soon as I get it. Why? First, it was almost the same protection as HT. Second, it gives valor, allowing for Capital ship to go faster. Even if it is destroyed, it gives counterattack to other ships, with is something you cannot ignore
