no HMF vs HMF, what are the options?

GulSkiVader

Most who don't have HMF are having a hard time in fleet arena. In my shard, I can't recall the last time someone was able to grab 1 without having HMF. I've heard about the TFP/Poe combo where TFP crits to remove protection and then Poe can finish off HMF before HT moves. However that sounds like a low success rate. What are other options?

Note that I do have HMF, 5*. I rarely get pushed out of top 10 and prob average 5 or 6 daily when it's my PO time. My pilots and HO are nearly maxed. My consideration in this is to watch out for the next meta buster. lol

Having 2 hard-hitters (possibly with some TM manipulation) in your starting line-up and using Cassian's U-wing as first reinforcement to remove all buffs, target the HMF and take it out with your hard-hitters.

F.ex. Gauntlet and Silencer in your starting line-up under Chimaera lead. Chimaera applies offense up in its first turn, Silencer possibly gains advantage with its basic, Cassian's is called as reinforcement and you hit HMF with full force.

Ghost in starting lineup to increase chances of resisting Breach + Cassian. This is what I do.

Or Poe + ITF is really nasty. I don't have HMF or Poe but I avoid the teams because odds are one of you ships will get instagibbed.

I have seen Cassian come in but haven't seen my HMF get taken out. I believe that's the recipe (along with heavy hitters to take out HMF).

@VonZant , yes, I like the Ghost effect.
