    They recently made an update to quicken ship battles by only giving capital ship ultimates animation

    It was around the time Negotiator joined the holotables

    I like it, I want it.
  • Well, that's look interesting. More interesting than Raddus (on paper at least).

    I know they sped up/shortened most animations, but this ship has 3 abilities that have pretty much the same indistinguishable animation, just one of them happens to be an AOE. All other ships have multiple animations.
  • But can you target the HMF with the ultimate? Might be fast enough to out-speed it to the first turn. If not it seems kind of wasted against Rebels.
  • So the only way to get Hunted is through the Ultimate. Interesting. It will be cool to see how much Hunted will play into Ship Arena. The Falcon/Ackbar might finally be more easily countered.

    It’s also important to note that Anakin’s ship gains Turn Meter and not a bonus turn, so Hunted is a powerful option against him.

    KRU is going to single handedly destroy the meta

    I think this is a bit aggressive. I know my r5 6dot mod KRU Tie Silencer is still one of the easiest to destroy ships out there. It'll have a lot more utility here but with no tanks the good fleets can probably wipe him really fast and that'll cripple this squad.

    We'll see

    Mil F killer for sure, don't know about current meta. Sounds interesting either way.
  • Silencer and SFTF (which can call Silencer to assist) are both extremely fast. You could get 2 stuns off before the other fleet can move. With reinforce abilities activated, SFTF is giving massive potency boost, so those stuns will typically land.

    I mean it's nice to have a quick ultimate ability but you're more than likely only going to be able to get like 2 hunted's on the field at one time with all the damage and target priority you're doing.

    R7 Silencer will have 170K Health due to the +50% Max health from Finalizers Unique and will heal itself for 42K with every crit he scores. Its one of the fastest ships out there and there are many options to make him even faster or let him attack out of turn to regenerate HP.
    Dont think he will be squishi in a Finalizer Fleet.

    With Rose coming...I will go FO for sure
  • They forgot to list its second unique, which reads as follows:

    KYLO-HATING SPY:

    If Kylo Ren is on the field, all attacks will target Kylo Ren. If multiple Kylo Rens, each will be attacked. All Kylo Rens start the battle Hunted.

    If any enemy is Resistance, these effects apply to all First Order units.

    Finalizer Ultimate has a 3 turn cool down. With all the TM being thrown around by each fighter, especially KRShuttle, it shouldn’t be difficult to apply hunt after you kill the first one.

    Let’s not forget the KRU will have Afterburner + Offense Up + Defense Penetration if finalizer goes first (seems like it will). This with command shuttle giving advantage and 100% TM should kill anyone with his special
  • @CG_SBCrumb Could you clarify something regarding the kit. The kit says no debuffs will be activated from the starting line ups reinforcement abilities. Is First Order Special Forces Tie Fighter's -20% tenacity considered a debuff or a stat change for the purposes of this ability?

    Stat percent changes is a flat effect. Like +20% TM, it’s not the same as “speed up” buff. So things like -20% tenacity or +15% offense is not the same as “tenacity down” and “offense up” (de)buffs.

    Let's look at it from a Negotiator standpoint (which I'm familiar with... don't know about Malevolence). You'll get the opportunity to go first and wreck someone on the opposing team. If you target Anakin, you kill him, cause Unending Loyalty to go off, and put him in stealth. Now you can't hurt him and he's free to put the hurt on anyone in your squad. You're possibly going to get to go again, even with Tie Silencer potentially because of Command Shuttle feeding TM.

    If your opponent's lineup has Ahsoka or Rex, you can kill either one of them pretty easily I imagine. But then Anakin gets a boosted attack, he may not get the TM gain but he'll still do a ton of damage. Might not kill Silencer in one hit, but probably could take out any of the other ships since there's really no tank. If you do have HT in the lineup, he can put buff immunity and healing immunity on it with his AoE which also does big damage to everyone else. Either way you'll have a huge chunk of damage taken off of pretty much everyone, especially if you have HT because you get less FO boosts with him in the starting lineup. Negotiator is free to put Unending Loyalty back up on Anakin and it starts again.

    If your opponent starts with a lineup of Fives, HT, and Anakin, you may not be able to kill any of them in your opening hits, Fives is really tanky at high levels.

    Combine all this with the fact that CG essentially refers to the fleet as a "second fleet for GAC or TW" and I'm not sure this one ends up unseating the top two of Malevolence and Negotiator. Maybe it's better than the HMF Rebels fleets, but probably not. It's a cool fleet and I like it certainly more than the Raddus, but I'm not holding my breath that suddenly this turns all the First Order ships (which were not great by any stretch of the imagination) into the top dog

    The paper strategy against Negotiator seems to be something like put Hunted on Anakin, let him rot until you can catch him without UL (with offence down which can be inflicted with another special and without tons of bonus turns he isn't that dangerous) and kill other ships. Will it work or not we will see soon enough when some whales will buy this ship.
  • Fo ships should be upgraded same as Genosians (they got a stealth buff once Malo came)

    Both Kylo ships should be immune to %dmg
    A tankless setup wont work unless you have some form of foresight or daze immunity (same as cls)

    I hope there will come a few more updates to make the ship really good on offense at least

    Overall I really like it but I just can't understand why it has such underwhelming specials. Outside the 2 obvious abilities to always use (ultimate + reinforce) it seems to be far more appealing to use it's basic and call Silencer to assist than using one of the two specials. Could've definitely used some mass assist or some team cleanse there (maybe on that AoE special since it has a CD of 4 so it should have way more impact than it actually does).
