AoE daze to shut down all the assists. Unique ability reduces the amount of damage enemies cause when attacking out of turn.
It kills assists (multiple sources of daze, reduces out-of-turn damage), increases accuracy (helps counter Geo Spy, Phantom II, ITF, and the Falcon with its buff up), and has what's essentially a weaker, mass version of Savior. Geos and the Falcon fleets are both going to have some issues. Hard to say whether this is a hard counter without trying it, though.
Yeah that's the GAC store, not the GEC/GEC2 store.
One letter off
Don’t see how to defeat HT if ani dies
Goodbye.
They do the same thing as when the B-28 inflicts them - "Deals damage equal to 10% of the target's Max Health and Dazes the target for 2 turns when it explodes. Can't be Dispelled."
I think GEC2 is also for g12 finishers:

Oh like you can trust anything they say here. Maybe if it was on Reddit I'd believe it.
(good catch)
Because the Chimera was unbeatable and people definitely didn't climb with Executrix.
Because the HT was unbeatable and people definitely didn't find ways to beat it like the Bistan + Vader combo.
Because the M.ILF was unbeatable and people definitely didn't beat it with Poe or KRU.

We'll just be moving from 50 AA/ Han's Falcon to 50 GK/JKA in ship arena now.
This.... For Ship fans it's ****..... If I choose to go after this ship all the Gear I'm foregoing will ensure I finish last in everything so I will actually never have to currency to even unlock the thing before I die or the servers close....
It's beyond, beyond insane
Seems very much like this is intended once again to be a new dominant meta instead of rock/paper/scissors as was promised!
Really will it break the falcon if it does how many YEARS from now when people actually can farm it.... a lotta what ifs there to spend the currency on a ship that will ensure you finish LAST in arena, LAST in GAC, suck at TB...... Like I LOVE ships but seems like investing in this ship is just plain DUMB
If you want it, make it a priority, same as anything. It'll be a hike to get there, but considering it looks like a hard counter to the Ackbar/Falcon lineup we have right now, it'll probably be arena viable at five stars, and fleet's notoriously slow to shift gears. "Hiding?" It's pretty clear.
You can start making progress as low as an 80 million guild. If yours isn't there, you can change gears. This is about as fair a means of getting it out there as any.
The main alternative is to release the Negotiator via a legendary event. That would probably mean Separatist ships, of which there are currently three, so that would mean requiring at least one brand new marquee Separatist ship to fill the lineup, which folks always flag as cash grab gatekeeping. Then there would need to be a capital ship, which given we're almost confirmed getting the Malevolence soon probably means we wouldn't get a loaner in a Negotiator legendary. That makes two new ships required for a Negotiator legendary to be possible. And still, the event would require some pretty heavy investment in a fleet you'll use zero members of under Negotiator in order to get it at all.
By comparison, the GET2 route is just... if your guild's not doing GeoTB, jump ship to a guild that is. Same answer as always when your guild isn't performing to meet your needs. This is about as fair as you can ask. Will other people get Negotiator faster than you? Probably. But how ain't that gonna be true?
Where is that confirmed now?
I have only seen a "leak" which can easily be faked
It's in the developer's insight thread.
