Empire needs more healers/cleansers!

Empire got enough Healers/Cleansers because of Shore Trooper (Tank).

Shore is not a cleanser. He heals-partially. Ironically its not even good enough to be warranted on swgoh as being called a healer. Then if you consider cleansers? let's be honest. There is only one empire "cleanser"- Thrawn. And only if He's leading. This isn't a Barriss, Savage, or Treya passive type of cleanse, nor is it a team cleanse like Admiral ackbar or Chirruit to name a few. And that's cheap especially considering all of the self cleansing going around these days. I love the empire. They're all I run, All day, every day. And on an OG shard I take 1st in arena against top 50 Treya/Bastilla leads because my empire roster is strong in the force. If we were to be honest, we cannot pretend that empire- true empire is lacking. Remove Palpatine, Vader as Sith influences, and then cut out troopers (who generally need multiple trooper allies to function) and you are left with few and far between that can do anything beyond DS tb. GMF, TFP, RG, and Thrawn. It has been mentioned time and again that most of the troopers are designed for pve rather than pvp, which is garbage considering, most of the real competitive interaction against colleagues takes place in arena. That is where one ACTUALLY faces maxed teams intended to be the best of the best. And we all know how well the empire has fared in past meta's or current meta's. We're not even beginning to discuss the new Chewie. Who here is willing to go toe to toe against the next iteration of Rebel meta with nothing but empire? I will, because I'm not fond of rebel scum, but I doubt many of you will.

I feel like Empire does not need more healers/cleansers because 1. They do a lot of damage fast and shut down the other team. That's just their strategy. 2. Empire is a lot like Sith where they don't care about one another they only care about themselves. And 3. Empire is one of the best factions already.

1. Already discussed this in length but furthermore, your argument falls apart If you consider all of the daze, isolate, ability block, that sith or rebels can throw down in relation to the empire faction. It used to be WAY back when, that it was the empire's strength in laying down massive debuffs that would actually debilitate the opponent. That has long since changed with rebels and or sith doing the same while doing massive DPS in the process. And that's before you consider the previously mentioned healing/cleansing those factions do, which- Thrawn is not doing on his own.
2. Even with sith you have, DN lead healing, Treya passive, or Savage unique. Just considering sith that's alot of team dynamics constantly in action.
3. What you're really saying is that "trooper"s are the best (subset) empire faction. And Thrawn is the best Character. Two troopers with GMF, aren't doing a thing.

There is certainly room for improvement. The success of Thrawn alone as a PVP character cannot imply that the real "empire" faction is grade A as a whole. insomuch as Rex's similar PVP forte means that the clone faction is grade A and not warranted for some boosting to be competitive with other top tier teams.
