Which ship should I use in Fleet Arena?
I currently have Biggs in my lineup, but I'm wondering if I should switch it for Hounds Tooth. My Biggs is Gear 8, and my Bossk is Gear 12. But Biggs X-wing is 7* and the Hounds tooth is at 3*. ht...

I removed 7* biggs, replaced with 3* hounds tooth and went from dropping from 120s to 180s, to only dropping a few places.
3* hounds tooth is superior.
As far as the special, hounds tooth can use it on the 1st turn.
I'm glad you're enjoying the break due to the aura HT has. I hope you're upgrading it though - people will eventually figure out this ship can be killed and then that bubble is going to pop.
HT isn't numerically superior - especially at 3* vs 7*. My 7* Biggs has over 140k health + prot, and gets more every time someone inflicts TL. My HT (even at 4*) 115k combined. It's slower, and hits like a wet noodle. If your opponent is hitting it with a lot of ineffective attacks and you're stacking tons of protection, congrats. Your HT is going to hold like a champ. But if people are fighting HT using the tools that are effective against it, well, yeah.
Comparison:
7* HT (7* zzBossk G12) - 138 speed, 89776 health, 72631 protection, 6858 damage
7* Biggs (7* Biggs G12) - 170 speed, 80410 health, 60970 protection, 8170 damage
At max levels HT is the more durable tank, but it's slow and doesn't hit as hard. Not to mention those stats reflect an investment of 2 zetas on Bossk.
As far as the special - yeah, he can. Once he goes. Biggs can get taunt in the opening volley of the match, because he doesn't (thankfully) rely on landing his own attack to gain taunt.
