Anyone run the falcon in ship arena?
I just got it to 5* seems a decent jump in power from 4* but haven’t seen it other than a very soft 4* version. Worth persevering with other than for platoons?

Way too squishy. Even when it does thrust reversal, it still dies really, really fast. Especially to a FO Tie. I tried it as a reinforcement and main line, pretty much died in 1 hit every time (85, 7*, G12 rey, g11 finn). 72k health, 19k protection, which is less than my FO Tie.
I want to like it more, it's a good ship, but just doesn't have a place in the main lineup. As with many ships coming into battle with crit damage up (from thrawn) it can deal some good damage.
Just count and decide afterward
Or am I thinking this wrong somewhere?
I bring it out of reinforcements when I still have Biggs alive, then get 3 attacks and crit damage up, almost always.
Maybe depends how new or old your shard is. Mine is all G12 Thrawn, biggs, fo tie, tie, reaper, vader. I've finally placed 1st 2 times this week, but their FO Tie will go before mine most of the time. Maybe 1 in 6 matches, defense FO Tie will one shot my FO Tie. When I ran falcon, enemy ai really focused it down fast, so I gave up on it.
I don't have the Ghost or Phantom unlocked but now I really need to get on that!
Just curious

That being said.....it can be handy in TW for your 3rd or 4th fleet. Or useful in LS TB.
Seems not so good on def cuz its really squisi... But its a ship above the average, just few people with it starred enough so u can rarely see it in the fleet arena... But once ppl start getting it to 7* i think we will se it more often!
I run something similar to the GIF posted above, but to make up for punching lower than a maxed out ship I put Scimitar in there.
Chimaera:
Biggs, TFP, Scimitar, Kylo shuttle, Falcon
You want a target lock first up with TFP so Biggs can be the punching bag.
Thrawn to buff with offense up.
Maul to pop stealth taunt on Biggs or TFP if Biggs is dead already.
Falcon to do thrust reversal.
Kylo to give Falcon advantage and 100%.
BOOM. Match over in 2 turns. What Falcon doesn't kill the norma Thrawn AoE finishes off normally.
Even if RNG is against me I and I can't execute the strategy above I can still win because of my maxed Thrawn kill-all and my reserves (Boba, Fives, FOTP).
Haha
That one was better anyway though.
This is very odd. How is the enemy FO tie one shotting your FO tie? I run FO tie and I can't one shot my opponent's FO tie...not even close.
Try to put scimitar as first reinforcement and FOTP in ur first lineup instead of him just in ur last battle and i think u will fall much less spots overnight!
Yep, likewise. I protect it, and it always drops at least once ship or it damages one ship huge and spreads the love so everyone else feels it. While I rarely get more than two turns with it because the ai targets it relentlessly, it still does enough for me to keep it in my reinforcements. Sometimes, the ai targets it and allows my vader to survive a little longer and on those days, I am very happy with it.
I normally run Biggs, TFP, FOTP, Boba, Vader to start, and reinforce with Scimitar first, then Fives, then Wedge.
But this setup with Falcon is lots of fun, and you need Scimitar for the extra offense under stealth. If my TFP goes first I can usually guarantee a TL and then Scimitar is safe until he is needed.
Ur combo seems so funny xD i run ur same fleet with cass as 4th reinforcement and also left fives a week ago for bistan, this TM/advantage to random ship when u trigget a TL is amazing (and my fives is low gear xD)
But it's a pleasure to see it in a line-up I'm about to fight. Easy meat.
It hits like a truck, and with ackbar lead in mid game you can swing up to 7x with it.
I run it with ackbar ghost and JC, and my turns against even players usually go thrust reversal, JC called assist on falcon, ghost called assist on falcon, ackbar aoe (calling falcon most of the time). By this point one or two ships are already dead. Then my falcon swings four times (3x single plus 1x aoe). Then he reinforces and my. 5 ships work on killing his last 2.
Most of the time I play against people 50k-70k higher than me(because I have no resources to lvl my pilots till May), and there it's a bit tighter, but I am always in the top 40 with that team.
Yours must be amazing because there's only 5 damagable ships in play at any given time
Haha got me. Never good at maths but mine can kick opponents chimaera too. Cant yours do that?
Absolutely... It's painful to watch.
Although most of the ones I run into have **** for health compared to mine.
