Need help with fleets

I am using Bastilla, old Ben, JKA, Ashoka and Luminara. I’ve read that you should use DS ships for zeta farming but I can’t even beat the 2nd node. Is it still good advice to go after the DS ships or should I be trying to use ships for the chars I have maxed?

    Only two of those characters even have ships. They are good under Negotiator, but that's probably still far off for you. Going after the highest tier zeta challenge is still a high priority. Geo ships are probably a good way to do it, and Geos are going to be a good and useful squad for you as well.
  • For the zeta materials challenge you will need Executrix and 8 non-capital ships of any alignment at 5*. To take Executrix to 5* you will need 5 non-capital Dark Side ships at 4*. Yes, it's definitely worth it.

    If you are having trouble with fleet battles remember to also upgrade your pilots. Improving their crew power will also improve their ships.
  • Geos are the simplest option as among the early access DS ships they make up a great fleet. Assuming you put in the resources. But tons of people managed with a mish mash of DS ships. Main key is to buckle down and put in resources to whatever ships you end up using.

    Level the crew
    Gear the crew
    Put high grade (5 dot, ideally gold) mods on the crew

    Hounds Tooth would be a great ship to get for this purpose but it is a bit higher up the food chain and ideally you will have this challenge locked down before you farm HT to 5 stars.
  • Nonetheless you are definitely doing nothing wrong arena wise to keep pursuing JKA's and AT's ships. As for the dark side ships go for Imp TIE, the three geos and either TAXI (vaders ship) or HT.
  • You will need Slave 1 at some point to unlock HMF. You might as well start farming it early contrary to what NK0_1AI recommended - even if the ship itself isn't very strong.

    I think I'm not expressed correctly. Of course, you need Slave 1 for HMF, as well as Hound's Tooth, IG's, and Xanadu.
    What I was trying to express is that you shouldn't focus on Slave 1 as a key ship for your arena team and unlocking zeta mats challenge. I spent a lot of resources on getting Slave 1 ASAP because I've read a lot of great things about it. I remember feeling really disappointed the day I used it for the first time in the arena. It was literally annihilated the 5 times.
    Now I'm farming it on the fleet store, but I don't remember the last time I used it.


    Slave I used to be an amzing ship, but yeah, nowadays you can't really get off its best ability. If they reworked it to make that ability not start on cooldown, I think a lot more people would run it again.

    Someone said Sun Fac is not a very good tank, and while he may not be as good as HT or Hyena Bomber, I think it's still good as it's pretty much a constant taunt as long as the opponent is buffed. I think the geos could be a great starting fleet until you can get HT.
  • I really need to farm some dark side ships for Executrix and those zeta mats. It’s gotta be my next priority after my current farms.

    I’m at lvl 81 and only have one decent DS ship, Imperial Tie Fignter. Ugh.
