His ship is rarely used, but it can swoop in and drop a massive hit off the bench, which comes in handy against the hordes of Hound's Tooths (Hound's Teeth?) out there now.

I love Poe, he's the perfect solution to a lot of problems in high end arena. Under Thrawn I've crit for over 100k off the bench--The 10% health bonus damage often doesn't even come into play. That said, he isn't particularly good against Hounds Tooth, as that will almost always have protection so his special doesn't get the auto crit, though the bonus damage isn't insignificant.

The way I deal with Hounds Tooth is to use Thrawn's heal that gives you a bunch of role-based buffs and them a bunch of debuffs. I start with my own Tooth, Spy, and Soldier. With Offense Up on Soldier and Spy, their two specials will drop almost any other Hounds Tooth with Defense Down. I used to start with Sun Fac, but his reinforce stun is just too valuable.

Admittedly I haven't seen Poe since I got HT. I just remember the one or two times I've seen him he came in as a reinforcement and instagibbed one of my guys and just being like "holy butts."

Ha ha, yeah! It's always a very dramatic entrance, very appropriate!

I wonder how often he's used. I see him in long battles sometimes, too. Usually my fleet battles end with only two reinforcements called, but since the algorithm biases towards tanks to keep the match going as long as possible, he would be on the bench still.
