6* Malevolence Game Play

Draconious

6* Malevolence - All Geonosian pilots are Relic 7, Hyena is 7*, Vulture is 7* and GG is R7 full 6 dot mods.

My fleet buddy Achtung has the best GR setup on our shard and several of his pilots are R7 so this was a pretty even match up. Keep in mind that this is on Offence and the AI plays poorly on D. My shard mates have not reported any issues with being able to beat this composition so it's not the end of the world.

The Sep fleet can trash Hound's Tooth pretty easily anyway. Buzz droids destroy its defense, and the same buff immunity that prevented Anakin's fighter from stealthing at 1 HP in the above video will prevent it from gaining Protection Up and make it pretty easy to just nuke.

Anyone have tried home one against malevolence? I can’t see any video about it,

But anakin is bugged so if u inflict buff immunity, knock out unending loyalty and leave him with 1hp, and then he gets unending loyalty again, he becomes unkillable for 2 turns. They didn’t fix the bug they just made ships heal slightly when unending loyalty is triggered so the bug is less likely to occur.

That said it’s easy to get past that by nuking one other ship so anakin moves twice.

That's a pretty slow Mal fleet.

Yeah o have seen similar video where AA fleet chew Malevolence even it can use it special canon. In the same video one guy destoy a malevolence with thrawn without too much problem. It seems pretty **** on D and slow on O, too bad I might just go for negociator then

I'd not make any assumptions without knowledge of gear and star levels of entire Malevolence fleet. From my own knowledge, AA on offense can consistently beat 6* Negotiators with R7 pilots, so beating 5-6* Malevolence is pretty much expected (but we still don't know how much luck should be involved). Losing to Thrawn is a bad sign of course but again, we don't know gear levels.

Malevolence is amazing same as Negotiator. Their kits however are considerably more complex than the old cap ships(surprise) so it'll probably take a while for people to find the optimal set-ups and tactics. I still haven't unlocked either, but reeeeally want Malevolence considering how well it did with my sith ships in the b1 marquee bonus tier. They even worked so well together that I have a slight suspicion Malevolence is also intended as a makeshift/band-aid sith capital until they get the time to make an actual sith cap ship. From what I hear the playable Malevolence is almost unchanged from the b1 marquee version.

It does not have any synergy with the Sith ships. I have my R7 Sith bomber as a RI just for the mines, but its almost never called.

The kit is identical from what I've seen

It seems to hold well against rebels. Only one of my shardmates have managed to beat mine after whole night of trying.
