Executor Bonus Tier — Malevolence Guide

Medium

The bonus tier uses your actual ship. A clear in the unlock tiers does not prove that an unupgraded Executor is ready here.

Hound's Tooth

Razor Crest

IG-2000

Reinforcements

1Slave I

2TIE Advanced x1

3Imperial TIE Bomber

4Imperial TIE Fighter

Upgrade your newly unlocked Executor before the bonus battle. Some improvements require additional stars; a 4-star ship does not have the complete 7-star kit.
Equip all six pilot mod slots and level the mods to 15; use six-dot mods where available. Ship contribution depends on mod level and dots, not on a Speed primary, set bonus or secondary stat.
Check ship and reinforcement ability upgrades. Pilot gear, relics and abilities also affect crewed ships; a pilotless ship cannot be improved by remodding a character.

Kill order

Use your own Executor with the Bounty Hunter starting trio. Stabilize Hound's Tooth and apply Breach to start the damage cycle.
Remove the initial Vulture Droid and Geonosian Soldier when reachable. Do not spend the entire battle chasing replacement Vultures while original enemies remain.
Bring Slave I first, then TIE Advanced x1 for extra damage. Mark a Breached target with Razor Crest to keep attacks concentrated through Taunts.
Use recovery to protect the core and continue toward Executor's ultimate. Destroy Malevolence when ready, then finish the surviving fleet.

Restarts & further notes

The starting core collapses before reinforcements can help; check the new capital ship's upgrades before spending more refreshes.
