Requirements
- 1Player Level 85 minimum.
- 2Five Rebel ships at 7★: Ghost, Phantom II, Wedge X-wing, Biggs X-wing, Rebel B-wing. Ghost + Phantom II crit-stacking is the entire reason this is the meta comp.
- 3ANY Rebel Capital Ship at 7★ (Home One, Raddus, Profundity or Negotiator). Profundity (Tarkin counter) and Raddus (revive) are the easiest.
Tier breakdown
Enemy Chimaera + TIE Advanced x1 + Imperial TIE Fighter ×2 + TIE Reaper at low gear. Intro tier.
Same Imperial lineup at higher gear. Ghost AoE clears.
TIE Reaper applies persistent target lock. Phantom II dispel rotates in.
Tier 4 ramps Gauntlet Starfighter reinforcements. Wedge X-wing assist priority.
Tier 5 introduces enemy Chimaera ability burst. Biggs X-wing taunt covers.
Tier 6: enemy Chimaera ultimate every 3 turns. Raddus revive or Profundity stealth save runs.
Final wall: enemy Chimaera (boss) + TIE Advanced x1 + Imperial TIE Fighter ×2 + TIE Reaper + Gauntlet Starfighter reinforcements. Open Phantom II dispel TIE Reaper target lock, Ghost AoE feeds Wedge + Biggs assist chain. Biggs taunt + Rebel B-wing crit damage stack burns Chimaera before its second ult. Capital ship ult timing on the third turn is mandatory.
Strategy tips
- →Ghost and Phantom II are the meta core — they crit-stack each other. R-stage them as a pair.
- →Wedge X-wing comes from Squad Arena Store + Fleet Arena Store. He hits like a truck with Ghost AoE feeding him assists.
- →Biggs X-wing has the only Rebel ship taunt — he's the tank. Gear him after Ghost + Phantom.
- →Rebel B-wing is the cheapest farm — Fleet Arena + Bronzium. He provides crit damage up.
- →Capital ship pick: Raddus (revive) > Profundity (stealth) > Home One (sustain) > Negotiator (cleanse) for Tier 7.
- →Chimaera is the meta-defining Empire capital ship in modern SWGOH — top GAC fleet anchor when paired with Hux's Finalizer in the same roster. R7 immediately.
