Hey all,
So I’m finally able to attempt unlocking a 5 Star Executrix but I’m having trouble completing the challenge. Since Ships 2.0, I haven’t found many suggestions or videos on how to complete it, so I thought I’d ask here. My ships are...”ok” if you can say that, but if you guys have any suggestions I would appreciate it! https://swgoh.gg/u/farebearclaw/ships/

Thanks for the suggestion! I just unlocked Slave 1 last night and I’m 16 away from Vader’s, I just wish there would be more drops for it haha. And you’re right I tried to keep everyone around the same level, but I’ll change that strategy. I just need more ship building materials now lol
Thanks again! That’s a ton of help!
No problem. I understand that newer players need help but as seen from the other post, it annoys me when people assumes something needs a nerf because they can't figure out how to beat it. Usually that isn't the case.
I think my ships are a little better, still im far from complete this challenge, 2.0 is much much harder then before. I hope they will nerf it. Cos now u need a superior ship squad to complete only one 5* ship...

Thank you for the response! I wish it didn’t take ages to promote the ships lol
Starting lineup!!
Executrix - total pwr 29070
5* - lvl 80 - speed 150
Ablity levels: all lvl 4
Pilot: 7* - lvl 80 - gear 9 - ulitimate fire maxxed, other 2 attacks lvl 6 , unique and lead lvl 5
Imperial Tie Fighter - total pwr 29718
6* - Lvl 84 - speed 175
Ablity levels (right to left) 5, 7 , 6
Pilot: 7*- Lvl 80- gear 9- all ablities maxed-all 5* mods lvl 15
Scimitar - total pwr 27442
5* - lvl 80 - speed 127
Ablity levels - 5,6,5
Pilot: 7* - lvl 80- gear 9 - basic maxxed, others lvl 6/7 , 4/5* mod mix lvl 15
Now I attempted this several times and my 3rd switched between Boba and vader a lot, I'm 90% sure i beat with boba on start, however feel free to mix it up.
Slave 1 - total pwr 28494
5*-lvl 84 - speed 129
Ablity levels- 4, 7 6
Pilot: 7* - lvl 80 - gear 8 - Doa (both) maxxed others 6/7 (payout at 1)- 5* mods lvl 15
Now my reinforcements arent exactly the best to work with, I mean I would say use what you have thats best for you. Vader is imo a must have here, though kylos shuttle and genosians could easily be more viable then my last 2. Feel free to experiment!
Tie Advanced - total pwr 30871
6* - lvl 81 - speed 156
Ablity levels- 5,6,6
Pilot: 7* - lvl 80 - gear 9 - ablities maxed bar leader and unique (lvl 5) - 2x 4* mods 4x5* mods all lvl 15
Tie Silencer - total pwr 16789
5* - lvl 78 - speed 156
Ablity levels: 4,6,5
Pilot: 5* - lvl 80 - gear 8 - ablities lvl 6 or 7 - 5* mods level 1 (forgot to upgrade)
FOSF Tie Fighter - total pwr 11094
5* - lvl 71 - speed 148
Ablity levels : 3,4,4
Pilot: 5* - lvl 62 - gear 7 - ablities lvl 4- 4* mods all lvl 15
Now as with most ship challanges this setup relies on good/awesome RNG. I had 2 attempts where I got close but since i was using the other FO tie I got smoked. A key part is using assists if possible.
Rules of engagement
-Tie should get first hit, use basic on the phantom II. If you land a lock awesome! If not its not essential. I know the ghost is tempting but while phantoms around it can be target locked.
- Rebels get first turn now, they should target slave 1 (if not thats a bonus) , if slave 1 is defeated- restart. You need its basic and bomb ablity. His target lock multi is kinda useless here.
- after their turn typically biggs will be taunting, this is okay as the aim now is to try target lock him for when vader comes. Hit with slave one basic, when scimitars turn comes, stealth him and slave one- forcing the rebels to target the tie.
- Use ties secondary to gain foresight , this ensures TM gain by excutrix which is what this strategy is about, the more you can force the tie to dodge the better
- on excutrix first turn use AOE , if youve debuffed biggs/phantom youre hoping to ablity block and/or expose. Not requred to win but defs a big help if you land them.
- First reinforcement call vader, if biggs isnt target locked and taunting, lock him.
- Vaders secondary is useful here as you can (for one turn) stop biggs taunting. Leaving the phantom and ghost open for damage. Try to alternate as much as possible.
- while vaders out use tarkins potenct boost, really can have a big effect on damage potential
- first chance you get use bobas bomb on them
- use fo tie with assist to damage when possible
- some rounds the AI wont call in reinforcements quickly, these are the best chances of winning
- If the Uwing is called in early it becomes much harder on you, best rounds they call in wedge first then falcon.
- try to take out as much shields as possible before using bobas bomb then tarkins big hit
- if boba dies before using the bomb reset, so much harder without it
- use Tie silencers counter bonus to your advantage , even if he only lasts one turn he can potentially deal damage to all the opposing team
- funnel damage with Scimatars special to tie and silencer
And thats about it, it will take more then a few goes but with the right RNG it IS possible, just keep at it!
So ur total ships power was 173 478. Its just too much for f2p player at level 80 like me. Well, i will continue grinding :-),
gj
Tie Fighter, Tie Silencer, TieX, Slave1, Tie Fighter FO
I think lucky rnd, cos I destroy it before last reinforcements come out (Millenium Falcon).
Now I need another dark ship
What level are your geo guys?
Sun Fac was lvl 75, 5 star at gear 8 (ship 5*). Solider 3* (ship 6*) and Spy at 4 star (ship 5*) are both 74 and gear 8 too, but I put the health mods from the Solo characters on them. I got the mods to lvl 10. My TFP is 7* lvl 75 for ship and toon Vader is 6* lvl 80 and ship at lvl 78. Both of them have 5* ships. I hope that helps!
This is a great post. Thanks for sharing!
I made the mistake, from early on, of spreading my efforts and resources out across all the ships. So, I'm having to catch up to level the Dark Side ships, specifically, so that I can complete the Tier 5 Tarkin challenge. I just want to unlock that Tier 4 Ship Materials challenge for better chances at Zetas. This is where I am:

It's a real PITA. I need like 20 shards to max Slave I to 7*. I'm hoping just getting another star here or there and maxing out the Geonosian will do it. All of my characters are level 85, and all of them are 7*...except for the Geonosian.
I did the same thing of spreading the wealth between my ships (as stated above lol).
I think once you get the Geonosians up you’ll be great; they made it easier for sure. Your ships look pretty good too, especially with Scimitar being able to protect a ship with stealth. Good luck!
