Negotiator dominates fleet arena

Negotiator is definitely a good capital ship but at 5 stars it’s beatable by the current meta

Like Darth Revan, it needs a Malak of it’s own to completely eliminate Ackbar meta

Or just 2 more stars. 5* Negotiator with well geared pilots already pushes non-Bistan Falcon fleets to the limit.

I dont recall anyone saying it's not good, just that it is beatable.

It is almost a direct counter kit to the current meta and can do fine right now, but it needs very good pilots right now due to low star. At 7* it will take over, no doubt.

As ultra said too, it seems to be an "almost complete" team and feels like it will be rounded out at some point.

Be careful what you wish for, you might not like what you get.

On my shard we only have 3 negotiators (including mine). I ran mine yesterday and climbed to first pretty easily. I had 4 wins and 1 time out (but that was mostly me being slower due to being less familiar with the new kit.

Considering I'm easily beating ackbar teams with 100k more power and holding about the same (dropped to about 16) I think it is much wiser to focus on negotiator. For 2 reasons.

1. It will likely be the new meta and if you just keep building your ackbar fleet, you'll keep up for awile but eventually hit the point of kosing anyway.


2. The pilots are easier to gear and more useful. So many rebel ships require 3 pilots and only semi useful characters. I use anakin, fives, and ht as my starting lineup with plo, ahsoka, and ebon hawk as reinforcements (at least for now). That makes the only pilots to gear that aren't really that good elsewhere a s just plo and t3. And both have some uses elsewhere.

For the ackbar fleet you have the full pheonix squd minus ezra that you need geared but aren't that good. 3 to 6 rogue one characters depending on what u wings you use. And biggs and wedge. And of course ackbar himself. So potentially 12 to 15 so so characters to max ackbar vs 2 for negotiator. And with reworks that 2 could become less.

Dont forget the malevolence :P

Very wise advice indeed. Sadly most of playerbase can't follow it for obvious reasons, and most of those who can probably won't be able to max it until next meta shift anyway.

Yeah I know. We get 25+ stars on geo tb and I just unlocked it yesterday. So any smaller guilds will have a hard time. Luckily for them, most of their shard mates will be in the same boat.

But for those getting mk2 get currency, I definitely suggest putting it all towards negotiator.

Fleet metas shift quite slowly. It's hard to believe the meta will switch in ~2-2.5 months, when 7* Negotiators start to pop up.

Yeah falcoln has been meta for 9 months now.

I think negotiator will probably stay meta fir awhile at least. And it may also be req for malevolence.
