How do you kill it without Thrawn's ultimate?

Can also give it buff immunity. Either way, making Nest a ship and giving it taunt is terrible.

It's pointless to beg, because it will do no good, but come on, now!Currently there are 2 ways to kill it:1. Chimera's ultimate2. Buff immunity (which you need to stick on a ship that has 50% bonus tenacity, and cleanses itself with its basic), followed by hits from your fleet timed just right, so that Hound's Tooth can't cleanse itself, or a nearby Plo can't cleanse it.So, what little diversity there is is probably going to disappear... everyone will need to run Chimera (the ultimates of the other 3 capital ships actually BENEFIT Hound's Tooth, since they just feed it protection up). The fastest Chimera will win, taking out the opponent Hound's Tooth without losing your own.Run Bistan and Vader, to ensure your Hound's Tooth gets a constant supply of Turn Meter, and call in Plo so that he is ready to cleanse Hound's Tooth at any time. Or TFP, for bonus TM for your capital ship, since the enemy capital ship under AI control will use its AoE, when while your TFP has Foresight.So it will always come down to Chimera's ultimate.Don't ruin ships again, please!

Ahsoka’s Starfighter, Cassian’s U-wing, Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle, Resistance X-wing, TIE Reaper, or TIE Advanced X1 could work well. I don’t know. They will help, but it will still be difficult. Ahsoka could be a very interesting counter actually though. Not only her high damage dispel attack, but she gains 20% max Health per debuff dispelled as a reinforcement. Call her in while Bossk has 5 protection ups, taunt, and defense up and she gets 140% health!

So will there be a $30 pack that contains 30 ship shards and 50 bossk shards or will that be conveniently removed since there are people that actually need bossk shards?

Cassian from RI works too, come in and call an attacker to assist

While the ship looks to be crazy good, ppl need to actually watch the videos. It's protection UP, which BI will block.

Except there aren’t many ships that have buff immunity, he has +50% tenacity if he has taunt, and he can cleanse on basic if he doesn’t.

Heal Immunity doesn't work vs. Nest ... I don't see that it would work on Hound's Tooth.

Unless you mean that attacks bypass protection ... but Hound's Tooth has over 90k health, and heals itself, so I don't think it will be that easy

This protection doesn't act like nest's. It gains a buff, so any buff immunity will shut it down immediately.

Oh aye buff Immunity would work, I agree. But not Heal Immunity from Sith Fighter ...

There is a reason the devs stressed how sith fighter bypasses protection, looks like hounds tooth is the reason no?

Hi All,

We have updated the Hound's Tooth's Basic Ability text to:
"Deal Physical damage to target enemy and dispel all debuffs on Hound's Tooth. Hound's Tooth recovers +10% Health and +10% Protection if it has Taunt."

We had previously posted an outdated version of the basic ability text. Sorry for the inconvenience!

So basically it gains 25% (20K?) protection when it is attacked... (Is this protection, max health based or max protection based).

So if you hit him with for 15k damage, he will gain protection... You need to hit him with high damage ships to blast thru this mechanic.

If you want to maximize his ability to take a hit, use fives as reinforcement to give him defense up. Or use him with Gauntlet Star fighter. IF you use thrawn's ship then his special can give defense up as well.

Do assists trigger the protection mechanic? Or only the first attacker that turn?

Wedge X-wing seems like a good counter. His reinforcement ability should work well against the ship.

Except then you have to use Wedge...

This ship might really shake up the ship meta, but why not use a ship with a dispel? Ahsoka’s Starfighter, Cassian’s U-wing, Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle, Resistance X-wing, TIE Reaper, or TIE Advanced X1 could work well. I don’t know.
