Thrawn in fleet arena

Just wondering if anyone is having success under thrawn anymore. I’ve seen my particular fleet shard slowly drift from thrawn to tarkin as capital speed becomes much more important (gotta be the first to reinforce...). I don’t really want to waste resources maxing tarkin, at least not until we find out if a new capital ship is on its way with the road ahead, so i was wondering if anyone’s come up with any particular fleets that work well under thrawn. All the new stuff seems to be specifically designed for tarkin, and Biggs/Vader/tfp is old/everyone knows how to beat it. Hitting hard and fast has been thrawn’s strength in the past, but with all the power creep he’s just not quite hitting hard and fast enough and tarkin will win the long game as soon as debuffs get spread around and ships start to die, feeding TM to his team. I’ve tried gauntlet for its cleanses/buff immunity, but again I think it’s just not quite fast or powerful enough.

    Eh, I dunno if I'd agree with that. There's only one guy in my shard against whom I occasionally have to use the OMGTIEFIGHTERS move. That's only because his starting lineup is Biggs + target lock spam shenanigans, and his first reinforcement is Hound's Tooth, so the match takes a while. Even against him, though, it only comes down to the ultimate one out of every 3-4 times. I've only even bothered taking it to rank 4 or so, because improving the other abilities paid way more dividends.

    The real game changers are maxing out the passive (20% TM for all your ships anytime someone is defeated) and the AOE (greatly increases ability block & expose chances). I dumped some arena points into extra Prestige to speed those along and it made a huge difference.

    Interesting. What fighters are you using?


    Starting lineup

    Hounds Tooth
    TIE Silencer
    First Order TIE Fighter

    All 7* with G12 7* pilots. Yeah, I splurged for Bossk/Hounds Tooth because I could tell from the marquee event it was going to be nuts. Was not disappointed.

    Reinforcements

    Biggs's X-wing
    TIE Advanced 1x
    Slave 1
    Geonosian Soldier's Starfighter

    Reinforcements are all 7* G11 except Geo who is like G8 or something. He's only in there because I didn't have anything better, he never actually gets called unless using his assist ability can end the match.

    I usually call Biggs first to nuke somebody with the assist and fill Bossk's taunt gap, and Vader second to mop up. Most of the time I don't have to call Boba.

    I’m doing OK with Thrawn. He reliably wipes out the Hound’s Tooth—eventually.
