Why is Chimaera absent from my Fleet Arena shard and does this mean I shouldn't develop it?

Hoping someone can give some insight into something that's been puzzling me.

I recently unlocked Chimaera and without upgrading it at all it's already on a par with Executrix in terms of power. All the stuff I've read on the forums suggests Chimaera is one of the strongest Capital Ships (pre Negotiator or Malevolence).

Yet the Top 50 Fleet Arena teams in my shard all use Executrix, Home One or Endurance. Endurance is probably the most popular, yet I've read elsewhere that it's garbage and have found Mace's Fleet Challenges much tougher to beat than the others.

Shard is about 6 months old.

I've got to Top 65 using Home One leading with Biggs, Ghost and Phantom. I've tried Chimaera out and won some, lost some. Looking at the top teams, doesn't seem to matter which Capital ship you have so long as you use Umbaran and Hound's Tooth.

So do I put resource into Chimaera or not? Will it become meta in my shard later on or is most of the advice out there irrelevant?

  • It's a very good capital ship. You should be able to dominate your shard if you have the only Chimaera and there are no Negotiators or Malevolence on your shard.
  • For those who might be interested, took the TIE Bomber out on its first few runs today and it was devastating. Going to miss 5* on the galactic chase unfortunately, but even at 4* (L85, maxed abilities) it hits harder than its 25k power suggests. If you max out third ability, Rebels can't attack out of turn while burning which undermines Home One's strategy completely (against AI especially).

    Time to upgrade that Chimaera
