Hey MG, the 3rd ability on Reaper is best used after you bring Scimitar out, use Scimitar to stealth all but the regular TIE, then grant the regular TIE defense up and Protection up just in case he doesn’t dodge.
I just switched after watching this video and climbed like 160 places with one refresh. And now I’m holding strong just outside the top 50. Thanks for this video!!
When you give kylos command shuttle retribution from the schimtar he gets protection up everytime it counters. Even a 4 star shuttle becomes an extremely viable tank
Loved it! Can’t stop laughing at how you say “Executrix”. Execute-ricks?? Lol! You can never make fun of Tie “Slicer” again! A new GiD rule!! Loved the vid, though, which is saying a lot given how long I detested ships.
being a FTP player, i'd recommend Sun Fac's Starfighter as back up also. he's not as tanky as biggs, but he also has auto-taunt and can hold fairly well until tarkin's ultimate is ready to launch if things are going nasty...
Appreciate the list! Just finished getting what I want from the GW store and really want to work on ships so really helpful on who I want to work towards
Great video. People can hate on ships but as a free to play I focus only on ships and I have been top 5 for 8 months. Thank god for crystals being added to ship arena. I’d like to see a video highlighting the new ships.
At last someone remembered to give some love to the ships.Its so rare.I agree with most, I too kill the reaper always first and the damn tie fighter last,especially if the enemy capital ship is Executrix.The ammount of dodges you get vs the enemy is basically what wins the match lol.Who gets off first the ultimate.
Can you make another non legendary top ten characters, they don't even need to be ftp, just no CLS, JTR R2 Gk or anything like that, I really enjoyed your last one as well as all of your videos, thanks!
If you use Vader's special on TFP after you've already target-locked him, you inflict evasion down and remove all his turn meter, taking away a turn from TFP and allowing your other guys to hit him.
Finally some more ship content! For so many players it's underrated, and this helps out a lot! Now, if only we could discover the usefulness of Hoth Rebel Scout...
Awesome man, thanks. I'm almost level 60 in the game so ships are getting close for me. I'm trying to farm good characters for fleet, but not positive who to use so this has helped. Wouldn't mind a beginners video for ships though and the best *(EASIER TO OBTAIN)* Pilots and ships. Ahnald told me he's got one in the works, but maybe you guys could do a collab on one, you're videos together are great.
Just get the ships for Wiggs and Fives to start (Fives is easy to farm, Wiggs is probably already in your arena squad) and use the starter ships you get (Ashoka and Jedi consular are probably the next best ones). Get Tie advanced, Tie fighter, Slave 1 and Scimitar. It will take a while but if you start farming them from the start you'll get them the quickest in your shard. Then farm up phoenix for Thrawn and his ship. When I just reached level 60 I stayed around rank 200 in fleet arena for the 1200 fleet token payout, and couldn't climb higher because I was farming Tie advanced, Slave 1 and Scimitar. As soon as I unlocked those ships (and unlocked them first, because everyone else was brainlessly upgrading Geonosian soldier), I easily hit rank 10, and never dropped out of the top 100 again.
Get Biggs, Imperial Tie Fighter and First Order Tie fighter (when they pop up) from the Galactic war shipments and get TIE Advanced, Slave 1 and Scimitar from the fleet shipments. These are the base ships you will need. I use these with Chimera and im top 3 each day, although they are awesome with Tarkin early on as well.
Definitely farm Slave One from the start. It's so useful in attacks and a pain in the arse when on the opposite side. Of all ships I hate facing Slave One the most.
My only problem with Tarkin is that you need to spread out target lock for your team to do more damage, which is rather difficult because there is always a Biggs on the enemy team taunting. Meanwhile, Thrawn's Chimera gives increased crit dmg regardless so you get demolished and outdamaged by chimera before you can gain that damage buff, plus the Chimera can debuff all your ships and buff its ships. It's a superior choice to the Executrix unfortunately because you can easily annihilate a Tarkin team with Chimera before any ultimates come into play thanks to the insane dmg on First order Tie Fighter, Slave One, etc.
You want to prioritise rebel ships so you can get the Chimaera. Wedge, Biggs, Ghost, Phantom and Cassians U-Wing are all important. Non rebel ships you should farm ASAP are the TIE Fighter, Umbaran Starfighter and Slave 1
Great video. Definitely helpful. Wish my shard was a bit less difficult. I use chimera with all those ships but gar Saxon and still struggle to get past 100.
I enjoy ships but hate how it's basically a race to using's the capital ship's ultimate ability (or blasting the other fleet before it can use his special). One thing that also kinda bugs me is how Biggs taunt doesn't have much synergy with many Rebels. Unless paired with certain Rebel ships like Cassian's U-wing, he is basically useless with other Rebels (compared to how amazing he is when paired with a group of target-locking Tie fighters). It would be nice to see a more viable LS ship introduced into the game at some point in the near future. I dunno if the devs thought making the DS capital ships OP (and therefore the DS ships) would make up for all the lack-luster DS toon, but that's not working out too well. Unless they DRASTICALLY expand ships to be more like toons (more challenges, campaigns, hardware, etc), they should just balance out LS/DS power on both fronts to the best of their ability.
+MobileGamer I beat Tarkin and Thrawn ships daily with Mace's ship. I think it's really under rated. My shard is about even thirds Tarkin, Thrawn and Mace and we can all take each other out.
Great videos as always do you not find a need for ahsonas ship or masked kylo Ren to be able to remove Buff's on opponents like immunity to Critical Hits
Crystals need to expand beyond top 20 to garner interest in fleet. No one cares to put effort into something that doesn’t give crystals. Should have crystal rewards for top 500, definitely for top 200.
Also, why no love for the Falcon?!? That ship can wreck an entire fleet when used correctly. It's single-handedly saved my ass sooo many times in tough fleet battles.
I feel like with the addition of more capital ships factions like the Resistance and First Order will gain relevance especially with ships like the Silencer and Falcon but its hard to beat all the Empire characters especially with the Chimera.
I use endurance, and I can almost always kill Executrix teams. I use my shiled every time the opponent can use his barrage. I run Biggs, Vader, 5's, Tie reaper and Imperial tie. The only time I have difficulty using endurance is chimaera. That said I'm only ever between 250 and 100 using this set up.
On my shard all teams are thrawn, fo tie, tie, biggs, reaper, vader. All are 7*, 85, g12 with biggs, fo, and tie. What I don't get is in top 15, I often have my fo tie or tie get one shot by abilities, but when I attack, I can never 1 shot fo tie. If ships and pilots are all the same, why does defense consistently 1 shot, and me on offense consistently can't one shot? I have checked every time and both fo ties are 40k power and mirror matches so no extra synergy.
I wish we had some kind of table on how pilot zetas effect ship stats. For example, my guildmate zetaed Boba and his 5* Slave 1 was approximately like my 7* Slave 1 without zeta on Boba (both gear 11). Also, I gave second zeta to Thrwan and it just gave extra 3k of power to the ship, but nothing in the stats (or I just missed it).
I agree. i personally think the Zeta skews the ratings. My Falcon has Finn zeta'd - he is ranked #4 in my ships for power but only lvl 41 and dies after one hit. Not effective at all - the ship might have the power and show high in your line up but it is still ineffective.
The Chimaera is the better ship overall, but the Executrix is a bit stronger currently, simply because it gets it´s ultimate first. Chimaera´s better abilities give it a slight edge in mid-game and in the occasion of surviving Executrix´ Ultimate, as Chimaera´s ability heals 1 ship completely. But this also means that the Chimaera has more potential and will probably outclass the Executrix in the forseeable future as more strategies will appear.
I think it's pretty clear cut that the Chimaera is better than the Executrix. Yes, it's still possible to reach #1 with Tarkin, but it's getting harder and harder. Old shards run almost exclusively Chimaera and those matches rarely last long enough to reach Tarkin's ultimate ability.
Actually you have all of their crew's actions level 7 and they all require ship omegas where did you get them? Does your test account have access to new material?

I am more often than not #1 in my Ship Arena, and I DON'T use Tie Reaper, Tie Figther, Tie Advanced x1 or The Gauntlet. I use a Thrawn lead with Maul, Boba, Fives, Plo Koon and Bistan. :)
Im top 10 on my shard, Admiral A capital with Ahsoka, Fives, Rex, Plo and Jedi councular (almost impossible to lose ships due to Rex synergy, councular protection and Admiral A clense at the start and constant assist protection). Subs are Gauntlet, Ghost, Phantom and Bastian U-Wing. depending on what I'm left to deal with , I always win. Ahsoka's starfighter is key in my setup, since from all the ships, it appears she's the most hard hitting of them all and that dispel should be nurfed.Most damage she dealt was 79k damage on Slave 1.
I wanted to thank you for the video. It made me realize I was playing my ship battles wrong. Making the change has improved my ship arena standing
0:51 Two Capital What?
LOOOOL!
HAHAHAHA!
Nice pick up lol
Who gives a ship.
Thank you for addressing the forgotten ships for SWGOH.
Hey MG, the 3rd ability on Reaper is best used after you bring Scimitar out, use Scimitar to stealth all but the regular TIE, then grant the regular TIE defense up and Protection up just in case he doesn’t dodge.
Thanks a lot for making this video! It's exactly what I've been needing the past few days.
I just switched after watching this video and climbed like 160 places with one refresh. And now I’m holding strong just outside the top 50. Thanks for this video!!
Finally a video on ships! Thank you.
Finally a ships video, I have been hoping for more to come out. I will be very thankful if more come in the future
When you give kylos command shuttle retribution from the schimtar he gets protection up everytime it counters. Even a 4 star shuttle becomes an extremely viable tank
Shuttle also gives the capital ship TM when using Strike Team on an ally. It's a versatile ship, just awful when controlled by AI
That was why I used Akhbar a long time since he does the same with pretty much ever rebel ship as soon as they attack out of turn.
I wanted to also add that Poe’s special will never miss against TFP’s ship as well.
Loved it! Can’t stop laughing at how you say “Executrix”. Execute-ricks?? Lol! You can never make fun of Tie “Slicer” again! A new GiD rule!! Loved the vid, though, which is saying a lot given how long I detested ships.
Thanks for doing the video. I wish more people would discuss the ships like this. Dilly Dilly!
Dilly Dilly!
Romm dilly dilly!
being a FTP player, i'd recommend Sun Fac's Starfighter as back up also. he's not as tanky as biggs, but he also has auto-taunt and can hold fairly well until tarkin's ultimate is ready to launch if things are going nasty...
TYSM MG! This was fantastic info. I couldn't figure out why my capital ship always went last, now I know! Legend.
Appreciate the list! Just finished getting what I want from the GW store and really want to work on ships so really helpful on who I want to work towards
Thx so much for being of great help, specially with those ships! Great job!
Thank you!!!! I've been waiting for this!
Great video and very informative, but at "6.36" I'm in stitches with the name of his ship.
Great video. People can hate on ships but as a free to play I focus only on ships and I have been top 5 for 8 months. Thank god for crystals being added to ship arena. I’d like to see a video highlighting the new ships.

Can you make another non legendary top ten characters, they don't even need to be ftp, just no CLS, JTR R2 Gk or anything like that, I really enjoyed your last one as well as all of your videos, thanks!
Thank you for this video, I need to upgrade my ships now.
Great video. I wish ships would get more love from the devs though. A raid, droids, more ships and crystals for people under the 20.
If you use Vader's special on TFP after you've already target-locked him, you inflict evasion down and remove all his turn meter, taking away a turn from TFP and allowing your other guys to hit him.
Finally some more ship content! For so many players it's underrated, and this helps out a lot! Now, if only we could discover the usefulness of Hoth Rebel Scout...
Nice vid, been looking for an updated ship analysis
Almost 100k subs, keep up the great content
Really hope they add crystals to lower tiers but devs seem to excel at rewarding those players who are already strong.. or pay tons of 💰
Thanks for the info too. Interesting that Rebel heroes are “on top” and Empire ships “on top”.
I never paid tons of $$ and I’m first EVERYDAY. I just played ships since. day 1
🤔I’m glad your anecdotal evidence is there to counter my request. Gives hope to the thousands of players (per shard) who miss out every day.😉👍
I'm glad people pay... allows many to play for free.
Typical, freemium model. Reward those at the top so people feel the need to spend more to catch up.
Have no love for ships what so ever at the moment. Crystals don’t bother me as I’m never any where near top 20 but nice to know what ships are good
Hope they add more ships soon. Can't wait to play Pao's U-Wing, JK Guardian's Jedi Starfighter, and most of all CUP's Republic Starfighter
Awesome man, thanks. I'm almost level 60 in the game so ships are getting close for me. I'm trying to farm good characters for fleet, but not positive who to use so this has helped.

A beginners guide to ships would be really cool too!
You want to prioritise rebel ships so you can get the Chimaera. Wedge, Biggs, Ghost, Phantom and Cassians U-Wing are all important. Non rebel ships you should farm ASAP are the TIE Fighter, Umbaran Starfighter and Slave 1
Thank you! This is very helpful keep up the good work with these videos
Really enjoyed this. I am probably in the minority, but I would love to see more ship content like this.
I like to target TIE advanced with the Scimitar special (if Biggs is dead) just free target locks
Great video I still use the Endurance capital ship because it has that target ability. I get 1st or 2nd place every day with the endurance.
We need General Grievous as a Fleet Commander from His big ship from Episode 3.
Edit: I meant The Invisible Hand
the malevolence would surely make a great capital ship on this game
+1 for the Malevolence
The malevolence was from the clone wars
I think he meant the "invisible hand". I would like to see it and make Geonosian ships and new droid ships synergy.
Xavier .Garand Thanks. I didnt knew The name😅
You forgot Poe. His first special is a counter to imperial tie fighter. The tie can’t evade since it has no protection
"capital sh*ts" at 0:52 lol gg wp thanks for the giggle!
My top 50 is currently 49 Chimeras, and 1 Ackbar sitting at rank 48 currently. I hope we get more variety in fleets soon.
Ok, so most ships are pretty much very very very good while some are really really good. Maybe you could do a top 10 list of them sometime.
I see you have a maxed out millennium falcon. Can you do a review on that?
Exactly what im looking for, a review on the millennium falcon
Great video. Definitely helpful. Wish my shard was a bit less difficult. I use chimera with all those ships but gar Saxon and still struggle to get past 100.
Please do more on ships! This was really helpful
this was very helpful thank you

So im new to the game what would you recommend for character farming?
You forgot Poe!
+MobileGamer I beat Tarkin and Thrawn ships daily with Mace's ship. I think it's really under rated. My shard is about even thirds Tarkin, Thrawn and Mace and we can all take each other out.
I think you should use Vader's special ability when TFP is target locked. By doing this, TFP won't dodge easily and you can take him down quickly.
You can use Vaders special for the Tie Fighter. It puts evasion down ;)
Great videos as always do you not find a need for ahsonas ship or masked kylo Ren to be able to remove Buff's on opponents like immunity to Critical Hits
Miss mobile doing SWGOh!
6:50 how can you say that KYLO REN is mediocre??
Crystals need to expand beyond top 20 to garner interest in fleet. No one cares to put effort into something that doesn’t give crystals. Should have crystal rewards for top 500, definitely for top 200.
Also, why no love for the Falcon?!? That ship can wreck an entire fleet when used correctly. It's single-handedly saved my ass sooo many times in tough fleet battles.
Hey mobile, now that Silencer and unmasked kylo are F2P, would you put silencer on this list now?
I feel like with the addition of more capital ships factions like the Resistance and First Order will gain relevance especially with ships like the Silencer and Falcon but its hard to beat all the Empire characters especially with the Chimera.
How do you suggest to start with ships? I am level 62 and i only have imperial tie first order tie biggs and tie silencer 1 star each
I use endurance, and I can almost always kill Executrix teams. I use my shiled every time the opponent can use his barrage. I run Biggs, Vader, 5's, Tie reaper and Imperial tie. The only time I have difficulty using endurance is chimaera. That said I'm only ever between 250 and 100 using this set up.
If only ships were fun..
For real, its long to battle.
Ships are fun
Booooring
I actually enjoy ships more than Squad Arena
khabib record that’s probably cause your ships are trash 😂
Saw you had Ship Omegas, are they only available in the test account? Mine says available in a later update
Would you pit silencer on the list now that we can farm both it and unmasked in a cantina node?
What's the name of the music in the background? I love listening to it. :D
TR can use his 3rd ability to add protection to Biggs. Also, I avoid Executrix AOE since Imp TIE usually dodges.
I late with fleet video in a 6 month^^ abyway good job
Can't wait for Revan's ship.
Imperial assault for Tarkin’s ship pisses me off lol. Well not when I’m the one using it of course.
Just gotta get your Tarkin faster than the opponent. (or abuse the ITF and tie reaper mechanics)
I wish they would have continued the synergy more between Biggs and Wedge with ships
I watch u guys but on my xbox. Doesn't give me the option to like. Owe you a bunch!! Keep on gaming
Five's ship is way usefull for getting past a taunting Biggs.
On my shard all teams are thrawn, fo tie, tie, biggs, reaper, vader. All are 7*, 85, g12 with biggs, fo, and tie. What I don't get is in top 15, I often have my fo tie or tie get one shot by abilities, but when I attack, I can never 1 shot fo tie. If ships and pilots are all the same, why does defense consistently 1 shot, and me on offense consistently can't one shot? I have checked every time and both fo ties are 40k power and mirror matches so no extra synergy.
Wait, HOW DO YOU HAVE THEIR CREW ABILITY MAXED?! WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE ABILITY MATS??
more of this kind please. ship arena is droping off the table. i would like to see some more of the advice
how do you rate the silencer and the First Order SF Tie fighter?
Your test account can even get the unobtainable level 7 ship materials?
if it wasnt so hard to farm would you include millenium falcon?
Tie Fighters be like: I can't aim, but I sure can dodge.
I wish we had some kind of table on how pilot zetas effect ship stats. For example, my guildmate zetaed Boba and his 5* Slave 1 was approximately like my 7* Slave 1 without zeta on Boba (both gear 11). Also, I gave second zeta to Thrwan and it just gave extra 3k of power to the ship, but nothing in the stats (or I just missed it).

But this also means that the Chimaera has more potential and will probably outclass the Executrix in the forseeable future as more strategies will appear.
for me 20 levels more till I get ships again and I don't have to explain for mobile gamer
"Gar Saxon's Gauntlet Starshiter" 6:38 XD
I think it's pretty clear cut that the Chimaera is better than the Executrix. Yes, it's still possible to reach #1 with Tarkin, but it's getting harder and harder. Old shards run almost exclusively Chimaera and those matches rarely last long enough to reach Tarkin's ultimate ability.
0:53 lol
I take two of those every day!
What did “Ricks” ever do to be executed, I wonder? Lol
I think Poe‘s Ship is also great vs the Imp Tie Fighter with his 1st Special Attack.
How did you get Tie Fighter's Unique to level 7, it needs ship omegas for that
Actually you have all of their crew's actions level 7 and they all require ship omegas where did you get them? Does your test account have access to new material?
I am more often than not #1 in my Ship Arena, and I DON'T use Tie Reaper, Tie Figther, Tie Advanced x1 or The Gauntlet.
I use a Thrawn lead with Maul, Boba, Fives, Plo Koon and Bistan. :)
For which ships is it most important to have a well geared pilot?
If Biggs is taunting, he will absorb most of the damage from Chimera's AOE.
With the Scimitar I make the Tie Fighter poke out to give the Chimera turn meter
Great vid
Im top 10 on my shard, Admiral A capital with Ahsoka, Fives, Rex, Plo and Jedi councular (almost impossible to lose ships due to Rex synergy, councular protection and Admiral A clense at the start and constant assist protection). Subs are Gauntlet, Ghost, Phantom and Bastian U-Wing. depending on what I'm left to deal with , I always win. Ahsoka's starfighter is key in my setup, since from all the ships, it appears she's the most hard hitting of them all and that dispel should be nurfed.Most damage she dealt was 79k damage on Slave 1.
I hit 120k today with my tie fighter special. My jaw bounced it hit the floor so hard
Nick Alexandrov you’re definitely on a newer shard than further along people if people still have ahsoka and plo koon lol
You can routinely hit for over 100k with FOTF when it uses strafe
Try using millennium falcon under chimera. Soo much damage.
How good or bad is the millenium falcon?
Poe is the counter to TF.
I preach this to my guild but nobody listens... although Poe cannot 1-shot the Tie once it's maxed (unless you use Poe's boost beforehand)
Parker Harman Poe always a reinforcement for me. Most times I can 1-shot bit when he doesn't he is easy to take out with sliver of life left.
Yes! More ship videos please!
Thanks for this. Mobile
What about Ahsoka ship and Cassian Uwing?
Why Bistan Uwing is good?
I like ships. We need more of them...
