Tarkin Fleet lead

Only two people use Tarkin lead in top 20 in my shard. Very easy to beat with either of he other two. If anything, Tarkins ship needs more power for everything other than the tie strike, which is also easily countered with Maces no damage ability which you can usually use twice before Tarkin can get the Tie strike off.

I did say OFFENSE and they don't hold on defense. Tarkin teams are able to move up and defeat teams they have no business beating otherwise. Doesn't matter if it's countered by Maces ability, because the AI doesnt time that on defense.

That's this game though - you haven't seen a 5* GK, 5* Gear 9 Thrawn, 4* Dn + R2 + Rex push up in your character arena? 30k power on ships isn't that much % wise though since the values are so high. 10% difference on a 360k power vs. 330k power. That's like 90k vs. 81k in squad arena. Power in ships can also be skewed by the really high power ships that really aren't better than others - Vader's TIE Adv comes to mind there as having an over-inflated power rating.

What teams does no one have business beating? Offense is always easier. Also, not sure why people sill tout power values as reasons for things.

Without breaking out specifics because its irrelevant, in times Ive tested my own Tarking on offense, Ive been down to 1 ship remaining that would die after 1 or 2 more hits...against 4 or 5 enemy ships...it was a sure loss in any other scenario, but because I got off Imperial Assault and wiped out the entire enemy team in 1 shot, I won. I didnt deserve the win just because I ran the cooldown off on 1 skill. I dont get to instant win with Windu's ultimate after working the cooldown.

It's not balanced at all. Ackbar and Windu dont have instant win skills. No character or ship in the game has an instant kill the entire enemy team skill except for Tarkins ship.

And to reply to someone above about 5* GK, Thrawn with low gear etc...yes people in my shard use them and no they dont get in the top 20. You must have a pretty young arena shard if that's what you see on yours.
