I have been told on my Discord server that 'the TL “bug” may be from XB unique - every time BH ships damage a breached enemy, they do bonus damage as well. The game counts this as doing damage with a basic, so TL applies twice from a single basic. In the case of XB double-tap it would apply TL 4x.' So I guess this is not a bug after all, but WAI!
I was worried like you and that was the answer they gave me. And Slave can apply up to 9x TL with basic coz that: 3x his own basics, 3x hit and 3x XB unique. It's crazy. And huge RNG factor impossible to check or even to know how many they or you have already applied.
I like the new format. Put the quick edited footage up front for people who only want a short tutorial, but live battles with commentary that talk through your process is very helpful for learning how to make correct decisions mid battle.
@BitDynasty: thanks for another in depth fleet counter guide, awesome! I have made very good experiences with using shuttles third ability (the "remove tm from an ally and feed tm to the others" one) on its third turn (after ability Block on HT), and targeting the Echelon with it. (instead of using the extra turn on silencer). This has 2 benefits, while keeping the overall flow of the battle the same (silencer gets the kill on XB with basic): 1) as you state, you remove tm from Echelon, so it does not end up having to basic a taunting Slave1 (if 1st reenforcement) 2) Shuttle gets its 4th turn sooner = usually gets to take an immediate turn BEFORE Boba (because shuttle removes tm from reenforcing ships and gains tm) and can then dispell the boba buffs (taunt, retribution, crit Immunity) before boba can get annoying. Game on!
Great video! One tip from my experience. The AOE from SF TF ship is actually really important and should be used over the basic in my opinion. If you read the info on the ability, it puts a dot on all ships including allies. It also gives some nice healing to echelon of the aoe manages to hit multiple enemy ships if they don't have forsight. This will help ramp silencer offense stacking with the crew ability on silencer. It may also feed TM since ally ships will be taking tiny dot dmg.
Many thanks. Really helped me out. I was keeping 1st place for three months in my shard. But Execs started to pop up almost everyday.. so I had to learn to fight against them. Thank you again! :)
Great video as always. Love the detail and multiple examples. Will have my TE 7 stars in a couple days or so and look forward to trying. Went 3/3 out the gate in arena testing with 6 star after your previous video. Nice to have the alternative reinforcement options that’s a cherry on top!
You never cease to amaze and with more folks having Executor on defense a counter is sorely needed for GAC that isn't the mirror match. I may have to start double or triple farming my Echelon as he's just a few shards below six stars and that obviously won't do. Thanks for the video.
@@Bitdynasty I'm not sure that any part of this game is as frightfully dull as an Executor mirror match, so being able to climb with FO would be a godsend anyway.
I just tried this with my R7 FOO and the Echelon did die to the first round of enemy attacks. However the basic strategy still worked well enough for me to take out the enemy RC, HT, and XB before losing to the reinforcements. It still made for a very easy cleanup.
Amazing. I rely on finalizer vs executor a lot because this is where I get my crystals haha. The thing is I am in a year and a half shard and people dont have executor maxed out so usually its 5* and my finalizer is not yet 7*. So the dynamics a bit different. But its really reassuring that once I get echelon (35shards needed) on 7* its going to be consistent counter
Thank you for your help with this counter really nice !!! It will help us in the galaxy ! But sometimes big hit with tie silencer isn’t enough to kill HT
hey, big fan, i would say you don't actually need the heal immunity, if you use the shuttle to strip away the protection on HT, KRU missiles will kill him. I've been running the finalizer counter with 6 star echelon and very rarely need to bring more than 2 reinforcements (FOSFTP and either EB or Jedi Consular for the heal and call to assist)...i have a few non verbal videos but i did take FOO to r6 with all 6e mods, hux went to r6 with all 6e mods too.
hi bit! unsure if you still check comments here but I keep having trouble. the entire tutorial works perfeclty UNTIL xb dies. then it falls apart. HT ALWAYS resists both the ability block AND stun from SFTFP, then immediately afterward S1 comes as a reinforcement with taunt, and HT gets his taunt off because I can't use shuttle's AB. any help?
@@Bitdynasty yup. Entire FO fleet has fully maxed out. Every time is maybe a bit of an exaggeration but out of the 30 attempts ive done, at least 25, HT resists both.
Do I need to relic my FOO to R6 or even R7 and slice all the mods to 6E in order to increase the survive chance of TE? I am not sure whether the slicing all the mods to 6E and thus the speed boost will ruin the attack order of my FO ships. Thanks and always love your video.
I'm fighting against an oppoenent with HT, RC, and IG as his start. IG stuns my Echelon after the mass assist on RC, and it seems this slows the flow of TM, and HT taunts before I can AB him with the Shuttle. Any workarounds for this?
not sure as I don't see those fleets anywhere, after the initial mass assist, Echelon is only there to take hits so being stunned shouldn't hurt really I think
With R5 Officer and R6 Hux I win about 90%, but the loses mostly come because of dodging / resisting. So the extra relics will not really help here in my opinion.
Hey man, great video but theres a problem, my opponent removes all of his gear on piet to slow capital ship dow, and therefore kylo shuttle always runs before excutor take turn, and echelon will die of 2 mass assist turn even at 7 star, try many ways but i still stuck
Best I could do is either Malevolence or Home One, both about 50% win rate for me. Home One guide ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W4SO2UjR3To.html and Malevolence guide ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yfmK1MGAL24.html
Hey bit dynasty! This guide has proven incredibly useful in my attempts But I have a question: I have discovered that when my opponent uses IG-2000 instead of XB, my TIE Echelon gets stunned, can’t recover, and dies and then the match collapses from there with IG constantly doing extra attacks. Do you have any suggestions for how to work around this?
@@jmc4766 that is not really possible as HT will be ability blocked so will not be able to taunt, would you mind recording your battle and share so I can see what the issue is :)
Can this fleet counter the new executor fleets where the opponents start with Xanadu Blood, Razor Crest and IG-2000???? Their first reinforcement is usually Boba fett's ship or Hound's Tooth..
It can but a lot less reliably, maybe 40% win rate from my own experience. Check out my latest Executor counter video for all Exec lineup counters ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QEuXFNBz3-s.html
