So when the new FO/Rest Ships dropped a few months back I noticed I was 6/7 in DS ships & thought, ok, wow, that might be worth farming a ship for just to open a new capital ship. Especially since the Shuttle was nearly open when it happened.
Fast forward a couple months, and I finally dinged 7* with Kylo's Shuttle this week the morning of the Finalizer event.
Did the 7* battle fine, went into the bonus tier, and SPLAT.
Repeat many times..... SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT.
WTH is up with this event?
I fully realize that 2 of my 8 aren't great but come on, I've got the other 6 at G11 to R5. This was ridiculously hard & I finally said screw it & I'll try again in 2 weeks.
Really, it shouldn't have come to that with my ships. See fleet below.
I've searched on line for strats to see if I was doing something wrong but found nothing. The AE's just kill every single ship, even the G12 ones till you are down to Bossk v/s the Armada.
Looking for some help here for later this month.
I'll have some more cash so I should have some better levels & a couple pieces of gear on the final 2 ships by then.
Any helpful assistance would be appreciated.

So stupid that you need G13 just to farm shards.
I found websites that did it with G8 but I really don't see how with the AEing that goes on in that event.
Its not like those ships have loads of Regen or Healing to keep them up.
Start with HT, Silencer and XB. Stun tank, let XB call Silencer to stun ETA. Use your Finalizer's special to debuff ETA to prevent bonus TM gains. Reinforce with Tie Advanced and Slave 1. Have them inflict TLs. Keep using Silencer to stun. Also remember that Silencer gains offense when it damages a target locked enemy. For this reason let Finalize call Silencer too (with its basic). In the end Silencer will one-shot enemies.
It seems like Shuttle is key to this fight in a lot of strats but Shuttle is my weakest unit. Dies to like 2 AEs
I've stopped many any mod leveling or purchases from now till next time the event happens so I can at least Level the Chars & Ships to 85. I was hoping my existing fleet would have been sufficient but it certainly seems lacking which I feel is lame giving the Gear range of 11-R5.
Waqui, thanks, I hadn't tried starting XB for the extra stun right away.
I'll remember that idea for later this month for sure.
Now I'm wondering what a combo of Silencer, XB, & Shuttle at start will look like as far as speed for the rest of the fight.
You're welcome :-)
Your pilots' gear levels are more than sufficient for my strategy. I've done it with
G12 Boba and Bossk
G11 Cad Bane and KRU
G10 Vader
with only few restarts until the initial stuns landed
This helped me out.
Took about 10 restarts & fails but finally passed it.
I had them down to HT v/s tank/healer ships & they couldn't hurt HT but HT couldn't hurt them either with all the Protection Regen on that team.
Most of the gear added went to Kylo, shocking how those couple L7 pieces don't want to fill in, major demand on other chars, LOL.
I ran w/o the Shuttle & FO TIE so I didn't get much boost for Finalizer.
But the extra levels & couple abilities seemed to help.
Hopefully in 2 weeks I'll have Kylo up into Relics & if he lasts a bit longer then the runs should finish up faster & with less RNG.
Thanks for the strats all, that start Xanadu for extra stun early really helps.
