3* Shoretrooper or 7* Royal Guard for Empire Arena Squad?

G of shore? RG g9 is not really good imo. Definitely need higher.

I haven't started on Shore yet but which is why I was wondering since him and RG require the same gear. Also I've used RG in my shard before at gear 9 and he's served me well.

Stars are mostly useless for tanks.

Shore is much better at the moment.

Would shore be able to work for me at G10 if I were to throw him in then? At least to absorb that first Wiggs punch?

Mine is 3* G10 and has 65k hp. He definitely survives the first wiggs punch.

Perfect! Thanks!

Why not both? One to protect ep/tfp right away and one to stun and be a second tank

I run both and leave Vader sidelined. The ShT and RG make for a tough wall for opponents to get through. Add in the ability block/buff immunity of TFP and Boba (both speedy) and you have solid control most of the match and can really limit your opponents ability to get damage on your Palp/TFP.

I'll think on that I guess with Boba's ability block it would be pointless to have Vader.

You don't want a million damage from culling blade?

Haha that does seem awful tempting!!

I would bench vader and go with ST and STH. Because that is what is working for me. STH gives extra TM to EP boba and TFP and is very tanky with crit immunity.

What do you do about the opponents ST or Baze (yes Boba can ignore it but he's the only one right?) How do you get around 1st Taunters? How do you deal with B2? Yes shock him but if you go first he's going to open up and remove all your buffs/taunts.

I am also looking for a new arena team, mine's getting crushed, just asking for advice. Trying to shore up as many holes in my team as possible.

@Olddumper

ST answers a lot of your questions as battles last much longer than imagined. B-2 and Baze aren't really an issue as this isn't a buff heavy squad, it's debuff heavy. Yoda and Rex can cause some problems but in general Rex is too slow and will be ability blocked first by TFP and then by boba. Baze and ST usually ignore saving Boba's execute for either EP TFP or Chirrut. Most toons have AOE in this squad so taunts aren't that big of a pain. Plus TFP will hit with buff immunity.

The obvious 4 are EP TFP boba and ST. I will use STH until I get GK. His TM gain is very helpful to TFP and EP who usually start with a bunch of TM to begin with.
