Top Ship Teams for Arena

What's your priority? All of the capital ships have their advantages/disadvantages. I personally run Tarkin, so I try to flank him with as many Empire ships (Tie Fighter/Advanced/Reaper) as possible, and compliment it with some of my other strong ships that have uses like Scimitar (stealth), Biggs (taunt), FOTP (hits like a truck) etc.

If you're focusing on light side, there are plenty of options like Ghost/Phantom, Fives and of course the X wings like Poe, Wedge, Biggs being solid choices.

(Note - for ships, my priority is arena so I can keep a steady flow of zeta mats going)

Well, zeta farming is pretty much the main thing you want to be able to do. For arena, you can create some pretty viable teams using both light and dark side ships. For a long time I had AA lead with Biggs, Wedge, JC, Tie Advanced and Sun Fac, and that performed fairly well. Recently I switched to Tarkin lead with Biggs, Tie Advanced, Tie Fighter, Boba, and Scimitar and it's been fun.Find ships that work well together and learn how to be efficient with their specials.

Here are my ships: https://swgoh.gg/u/gohan0406/ships/

I made the mistake early on to farm light side ships. It wasn't until I reach level 85 that I realize I need dark side ships. So I started farming dark side ships. The 5 4 star dark side ships will be easy to get os I am not worried about that. I want to focus on getting Zeta's. That is my main goal. I am behind the power curve because of Zeta's. There, even after completing the challenge, I need a good team to be atleast top 50

*Note - swgoh.gg doesn't show the shards that I have for the ships. But most of them are just about to be 5 stars

I think currently the best strategy for ships is to level up your darkside high enough to unlock the zetas mat challenge and then pour everything into lightside after.

I am in a newer shard and can finish top ten with my Tarkin lead and buffed up dark side ships but I can't take part in the final ship phase of territory battles because my light side ships are too weak to unlock a 6* capital ship.
