Tie Silencer. Good or bad?

Useful? yes. Good? not really. Bad? obviously more better than geonesian spy starfighter.

Try that again ...
Useful? Very.
Good? Very good.
Bad? Not bad at all.

He hits hard, is very fast and gains foresight. He should be one of your first targets if facing him on a Chimera team or he's going to hurt you. Whether it's worth gearing up KRU, that really depends on your priorities, including fleet arena (where you rank, how tough the top players are, etc.). If you have the means, by all means.

Better than Spy starfighter? ha ha ha. Funny.

No, that's still Poe. Silencer is tied for second, though.

Fotf and 5's are also in the running with their tm gains

It's like Millennium Falcon (EP VII) in a way that it hits hard but is squishy. Faster than Falcon. Both do not apply any target lock. In my book ships that don't apply target lock are good reinforcements at best, unless they have another utility such as TIE Reaper.

While it's still "squishy" in that it can die in 1-3 shots (like all most all other ships), its health/protection is above average for non-tank ships at a respectable 104kish total, which is above almost all other attacker ships. It actually has the 2nd highest health pool of all ships(according to swgoh.gg), so % heal effects and protection up buffs (calculated based on max HP) work better on it than almost all other ships. Silencer also has slightly above average armor (11th overall), though that isn't saying much since most ships have negligible armor.

That being said, despite hitting hard, it is probably still best as a reinforcement for defense as it doesn't target lock, and the AI starts with special, which isn't too useful in most cases. I have had pretty good luck using it on offense (instead of TIE advanced) to get a quick easy kill off the bat.

Given the extremely quick and easy ship/crew farm, it is 100% worth getting silencer, especially for earlier levels.

For reference, my silencer is 7*, with a 7* G11 (5/6) KRU and 1 zeta. Battles with silencer were for top 5 rank. Linup was pretty standard with Biggs, Reaper, FOTF, ITF, and Silencer, with Maul as reinforcement.

He is quite good. Very fast and hits hard. Squishy though

Eh, once you add silencers passive it’s faster.

On defense he will use his special first, which doesn't do too much off the bat. Would be better if he used his stun first which makes him more valuable. Good on offense, crappy on defense.
