New Player Advice on Builds (Updated)

By swfan 2, in Star Wars: Armada Fleet Builds

Just wanted to say thank you to all the people that gave me advice last time.

I have “fixed” my fleets and just wanted to ask if there’s anything else I should do to improve them. Also wanted to ask which one I should run if it’s my first time doing a tournament of any kind.

1x Saber Squadron TIE Interceptor Squadron (12)
1x Colonel Jendon Lambda-class Shuttle (20)
1x Maarek Stele TIE Defender Squadron (21)

All four of these are pretty strong archetypes suitable for a tourney. I’d try to get at least one more activation for Thrawn’s fleet. Two can be dangerous. For Sloane, superior positions is by far her best blue objective. In the right matchup you can potentially kill nothing and get a 10-1 solely because they picked it.
