As the title says. I need help with Stage 5 Hard Nodes of the Fleet Battles. I’ve 3 starred every battle except for two. The one with the black eyes and the one with Nest. I’d like to eventually 7 star Nest. Lol. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions regarding team comps and or strategy? Any help would be great. Thanks. :)

Do you have hound's tooth geared up? I don't remember what I used to 3* that node, but I remember it was really hard until I farmed HT, and then it was pretty easy, since he's basically invincible until they can use Thrawn's ultimate. I think I used something like HT, XB and ITF under Thrawn. XB starts with stealth, which means they have to target either ITF or HT. First move for ITF should always be special, so that he will dodge and give you that TM boost. For reinforcements, bring damage dealers that don't taunt. The idea is to keep HT perma-taunted with breach, and quickly kill the other team before Thrawn can use his ultimate. Phantom II, Vader, etc. Scimitar is also nice under Thrawn as a reinforcement since it gives the crit chance boost. Don't forget you can lose 1 ship and still get 3*, so it's OK if ITF dies in the opening volley. Hit hard and fast and you'll be OK.

I mean, your kit ideas are top notch, and your strategy ideas are incredible too. I’m in awe...It worked!! Now I can finally farm Nest! Haha :smiley:

Thrawn with Geos can come close. Sub one out for HT and you are usually good to go. Obviously HMF with Ackbar and Rebel friends will smash it but I am guessing those aren't an option for you.

I think one of the main problems with Nest’s node is the taunting. If you have reinforcement abilities maxed for cassian’s u-wing and/or ebon hawk, you can remove buffs on reinforcement. Ahsoka’s ship as well is useful. Thrawn for sure along with hounds tooth if you can, and Vader for the damage when he gets offense up

It would be helpful if you can tell us what you have to work with. An swgoh.gg profile is easiest.

Any ideas with my current lineup then? Since I have HMF.

Power up that Trandoshan mister! He makes Biggs look like the wimpy kid who ran crying to mommy. ;)

With what you have now, I would try Falcon, Biggs, TAx1 under Home One with Phantom, Wedge and Ghost reinforcing. Keeping Biggs alive long enough will be the trick.

Probably take quite a few tries and you may not be able to do it with what you have but that's the best shot I see.

Bossk is currently on hold. Malak is more important sorry. Lol. I’ll try the lineup you suggested too. Hopefully one works. I’m open to any and all suggestions.
