Hey all,

It's been about a year since I last put the armada helmet on. Last year's store champs to be specific. I ended up winning it and that was largely due to doing a bunch of research on recent tourneys that was compiled by some saint. It showed the various lists and such that were doing well, and then I found something similar to my playstyle (imp, squad heavy).

Is there any such collection of recent tourneys? I think the only expansion since then might have been the Chimera. I'd love to check out what's doing well.

Thanks,

Sunny

Unfortunately, not really no.

The last big data collection was for the last Regional season, and since then there has been a major change in fleets, due to tournament fleet building and tabling rule changes. (You can only have two flotillas, and if you just have flottilas left, you are tabled.)

Saying that, we got some write ups of Worlds and Euro’s top fleets:

This is a great write up for Euros. Also worth looking at the articles on the same blog about top lists from Worlds.

I'll definitely check that out. From my initial look, it looks like a 3 ship sloane build did really well. I've never run only 3 ships because I fear going neither first nor last.

This is what I was running last time, largely due to the legend Mundo himself.

- Electronic Countermeasures ( 7 points)
- Leading Shots ( 4 points)

Gladiator I-Class Star Destroyer (56 points)

1 Dengar ( 20 points)
1 "Mauler" Mithel ( 15 points)
1 "Howlrunner" ( 16 points)

So the real question is this: After looking at the lists from Euros, I don't see anything IDENTICAL to the above list, but honestly Armada has never really had fixed lists (everyone has their own variation). So since the release of the Chimera, is this above list still playable, or has the meta shifted in a way that hurts it in some way?

The list was obviously built around a very strong anti-fighter fighter squad, with some additional ship punch with the demo.
