Fleet Arena

Reinforcement order
The reinforcement AI tends to send ships out in the following order. The higher the tier the higher priority that reinforcement has and the more likely it will be called first or before lower tiers. If ships share the same tier they will usually come out in order from left to right that they are placed.

Tier 1

 * Biggs Darklighter's X-Wing
 * Clone Sergeant's ARC-170
 * Sun Fac's Geonosian Starfighter

Tier 2

 * Hound's Tooth
 * Phantom II
 * Scimitar
 * Sith Fighter
 * Slave 1
 * Hyena Bomber

How to beat Negotiator with Rebel fleet

 * Bistan is starting lineup, or Houndstooth - but more RNG
 * Focus JKA to trigger the heal instead of daze. Then you can attempt to call in something like Ebon Hawk or Cass U Wing to dispel, and finish JKA off. That fleet loses a significant amount of value when JKA is dead.
 * Alternative to Bistan and Houndstooth with a geared Fives (needs testing): AA + rebel/gr hybrid fleet VS 7* Negotiator https://www.reddit.com/r/SWGalaxyOfHeroes/comments/fnu290/strategy_against_negotiatormalev_using_old_ships/

How to beat Negotiator with geos
Basic strategy:
 * 1) focus Anakin in hope to get him well below 50% health (not sure the exact figure, but it seems more like 30-40%)
 * 2) Focus HT as may be forced to. Try to take him out before Plo reinforces.
 * 3) Bring in Phantom if Anakin still has undying loyalty
 * 4) Bring in Cassian when Anakin does not have undying loyalty. either use basic or special depending on how health Anakin has left
 * 5) Focus Snips
 * 6) Focus Fives


 * Do not dance with the MILF unless dazed or have 2 or more debuffs
 * Bring in Plo to cleanse daze where necessary
 * Don't worry too much if HT get's Anakin's buff immunity, as he can clear it on his special. Use health regen from Ackbar if absolutely necessary


 * Bugs vs GK 2
 * Maybe not entirely relevant to OP, but Ackbar isn't the only option vs Negotiator.

How to beat Malevolence with Rebel fleet
Malevolence - Kill the starting VD, and then completely ignore the extras that respawn. Nuke the other two starting ships, usually SF and HB, and the fight will end as soon as all real ships die. If you start trying to kill the VD's that spawn you will never get proper control over the fight. Don't be afraid to use Plo with any fleet. His RI is extremely valuable in any fleet, especially against Malevolence if you need to get rid of those buzz droids.
