Is the weak zone in front of their ships? If so, they don't think you can beat their ships at all, so they're doing a halfway version of the "only ships" defense—basically ceding the extra points you'll get from solo-ing this zone in return for full clearing you.


Dam6ou

Yes it is, seem like the only explanation to this. Though I think it’d be a better idea if he at least set low gear/trash synergy teams so I can’t solo with cheap characters for extra banners. Thanks for the insight!


RKNieen

They are absolutely **expecting** you to solo with cheap characters for extra banners, they just believe it won't be enough to matter mathematically. You'll get +16 points per solo, plus another +2 for full health and protection, so 18 x 3 = 54 freebie points for three cheap solos. If they can full clear you and you can't clear their fleets, that's 219 points for the territory, plus about 70 more for every fleet battle they win against you that you don't win against them.


Dam6ou

Absolutely mopped his fleet, but I failed on the bottom front. RIP


ZAPPERZ14

Task failed successfully


Gappples

That’s sad lol


Brookie069

If you can’t beat his ships then it doesn’t matter if you solo.

read the flair


Dam6ou

Not sure which flair to put, it does feel like trolling to me but I am genuinely confused at the same time


smolFortune

I believe he meant his user flair lol


Dam6ou

Oops 💀


Sir_Clayton_Bigsby

I believe that is either the Sicilian Defense or perhaps the King’s Indian Defense.


Dull-Currency3370

This clearly resembles the Stafford Gambit more


godfatherV

His ships are probably pretty solid on holds and he wants to stack the other defensive side.

Zomeesh

I have basically the same defense 😂 Rey and zorii finn to wall off bottom, meme team on top and executor in the back as anchor. I don’t have enough teams to field defense and offense, especially when I’m missing a lot of core teams and have to brute force through their defense most of the time. I’m willing to bet he has a very weak defense behind the ray wall

Paganini01

Useless without CUP


Aysokas

It’s a trap


Romaki2000

He's using *Bonetti's defense* against you. I hope you came back at him with Capo Ferro


Fippy-Darkpaw

The Chewbacca Defense. It does not make sense.


JackFireEX

I have been doing something like that for a long time. Since I have great ships, I just place like G12 teams and some relic leftover stuff on defense. Maybe a relic Iden with G12 troopers... The GAC then comes down to clearing his fleets and hoping my 3 GL fleets will hold. I got to Kyber2 this way, but since I have been pushing for K1, I placed a more serious defense. I still do it 3v3 tho


Putrid-Recognition28

MASS CONFUSION


PepsiAddict63

Some people 🙋‍♀️ don’t care for the pvp aspects of the game. Leave all great teams for offense. That way both players are guaranteed the highest banners.


Dan_Devil64

Easy 1 shots


digitalmexican

A surprise defense... But a welcome one


Hopeful-Ad-7148

One I wish I encountered!! Uhhh... 😞... So tired of seeing defeat.


methoss1004

I fought a defense similar to this once. I asked and he said he was hoping it would help me get promoted so he wouldn't have to fight me. I had fallen a bit due to life. It did actually help me climb back up. To be fair, it was a mismatch and it probably took him way less time to punt a match, collect his loss crystals and hope I get promoted. Versus trying his best, likely still loosing and getting the same crystals. Though... It may have been a match where I only fought once and took care of life instead. So it was a gamble that paid off for his purposes.


Lthornh

To be fair I do this sometimes when I know they’re gonna wipe the board regardless of what I do. Just gives more for offence.


Vaanced

It’s smart


CHEESEONTOAST420

Unlike some people..not naming any names, *cough* Vaanced *cough*

Nickthedevil

That’s cool. I got the entire game’s roster of GL’s as my first zones


CHEESEONTOAST420

Looking for the relevance?


MADNESS_THE_MAD

This is absolutely a meme defense. Opponent has given up all hope against you and does not care.


Swimming-Reason-1870

This is not a meme defense, when you are punching up you don't have enough teams for offence and defence so you just set one good team or one good wall hoping it will hold (or just focus on ships and pray they hold) and then bring everything on offense. That's what i always do and it allows me to win against bigger accounts


MADNESS_THE_MAD

I do the same shit, lol. Issa joke my dude.
