Help with the most annoying fleet meta so far
I'm having a real hard time with the following fleets
They have r9 pietts and r7-r8 pilots.
I have r8 piett, r5 on all the BH ships, and r5 on ebon hawk pilots.
What happens 7/10 is the following turn of events:
1. Their executor goes, focusing down my razor crest, typically landing mark and getting 4-5 hits in, and triggering RCs savior
2. My HT goes, I use my special to taunt and put breech on their IG-2000
3. My executor goes, I mass assist on their IG-2000, killing it
4. Their RC and XB go and focus down and destroy my razor crest
5. I use my basics on their surviving XB
5. Their first reinforcement is HT, who taunts
6. I reinforce with ebon hawk and use basics to feed TM
At this point, the battle is pure RNG, if I land enough target locks to trigger the contract, I typically win. We each use our heals next, I use mine on XB they use theirs on HT.
If I don't get the target lock contract off before their 2nd reinforcement, Ebon hawk comes in and puts up chaff and dispels my taunt and usually makes me lose XB and/or EH.
In case you were wondering if I heal the RC or focus down RC first, this is what usually happens. They get the target lock contract off before I can get my 1st reinforcement.
If you have any advice please help, I just want to climb. My shard has over 50 executors and I'm tired of losing to this RNG fleet.

If they use their opening mass assist on your HT, then you can also open with mass assist. But still try and focus down their RC first.
I included an image showing exactly what happens when I do that in my post. They get the target lock contract off because I don't take out IG-2000 in time.
A video with this scenario would be helpful if it’s an option.
The other option if you're having that much trouble against that lineup, you could always switch to the Mal+TIE comp.
Sure, if I had relic bistan and ackbar, but I don't.
I don't have all 6 dots on cad, only about 4. But yes I have 6 dots on pretty much anyone else that makes it to the battle including bando and bossk.
And I haven't tried to use mal against this particular comp yet, but that counter gets so screwy if they target down anything but your TFP.
I'll record my climb later today.
So if you breech RC, then direct focus it with executor, it won't die, and then since their bando is r8, they will go and use their special and take out my razor crest and call ig-2000 to assist who has a garunteed double tap against breeched enemies and then XB goes and can call ig-2000 to assist and get more double taps in and all the double taps get the target lock contract off.
