The title says it all. When is the Empire getting more healers and cleansers?

There are still some major Empire characters missing like Colonel Yularen, Governor Pryce, Doctor Aphra and etc. that could fill these roles. Just because the Empire is already a major faction doesn't mean that it shouldn't get more characters and further expand it's roster.

I disagree because the need does not exist. I m totally fine with more cleansers and healers being added to the roster, but there is no NEED for that. Whatever i already made my point!

The Empire does need more healers as they currently have only one healer toon. Enough with this dumb logic "the Empire is already a strong faction, they don't need more toons"! Adding more toons like healers and cleansers will bring more variety and flexibility to their roster, especially for TB.

Well you should read more because the Empire did in fact field and use medical droids, medic troopers, IMSU (Imperial Mobile Surgical Unit) prefabricated medcenters and etc.

If you think empire needs more healers you’re either using them wrong, or don’t have your teams developed enough. Empire’s strengths are speed, control, and quick kills, not sustainability. If you want to play a team that is big on healing, use Nightsisters. Talia works as a pretty good cleanser, as well. No single faction has, or should have, the ability to use every single type of strategy. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. The goal is to play to your strengths and your enemies’ weaknesses. And empire is very effective in that. TB is a breeze with EP and Trooper teams. A lot of the rounds, enemies don’t even get to take a single turn. As compared to NS, who have a lot of healing, but are much slower and can get taken down by strafing runs if you’re not careful.

Empire needs more healers/cleansers!

Also, you may want to swap your mods around. Your troopers are pretty slow, and should have critical damage triangles (except shore-protection). That might be why you’re not getting enough damage done on the final phase to get the TM train rolling.

The thing is only my Palpatine team scores a win while my other Empire teams get wiped out, believe it or not, they get shut down with tons of debuffs and huge damage, simply because they lack more healers like Shore and cleansers like Thrawn and all the while the rebels constantly heal and dispell themselves.

You can't win with troopers aswell as with your palp team? Somehow i don't buy that. Either you're lying or you don't really know how to use empire toons.

Or maybe they get wiped out, how about that!? Imagine all the Daze and Stun they inflict on my troopers and when you couple that with the Strafing Run it's game over!

So I think that a lot of the people posting that you don’t know how to use them are saying that because they use the same teams and win while you’re losing. Don’t worry about it, it’s a strategy game and sometimes that happens. We all had to learn from our mistakes, too. Maybe try using a couple of the strategies passed down, and see if they help. The main thing we’re passing on though, is that it can be done, without extra healers/cleansers.
On a side note, if you’re getting stunned and wiped with daze/strafing rum, healers and cleansers wouldn’t help a lot because they’d get killed before they are very effective. 80% of everyone’s health is way too much for even the best healers.

I seriously don’t see how you can have trouble with your imperial trooper team... are you not that person whose swgoh I pinned? My troopers have no difficulty whatsoever

Get a speed arrow on Stark, he needs to be fast
on Phases that don't require troopers, I use these teams
Vader(L), Tarkin, TFP, Nihilus & RG
For the Empire only I use
Thrawn, Palp, DT, Snow & Shore
They easily walk through Phase 6 of DSTB

If you are using two Empire teams with imp troopers, it’s usually Zveers, Starck, snowtrooper, magmatrooper, rangetrooper/stormtrooper. Then Thrawn, Krennic, Saxon, Deathtrooper, Shoretrooper for another team that’s pretty great

So that's it then? No more toons for the Empire faction, like forever? Even though there are a lot of
major characters that are not in the game?

...wha?

No one ever said that, or anything remotely like that. And surely they'll go back to Empire at some point, though they're not top of the docket right now.

That said, Empire is one of the largest factions in the game, and one of the strongest. Even if it is a while before they go back to Empire, they aren't hurting.

Are you being dull on purpose? When did anyone say that?

I feel like a Mud trooper and Mimban Stormtrooper would be a bit excessive, and we should get the Scout Trooper first.in fact, Scout could have a cleanse, under the pretense of having advanced knowledge, to help the squad prepare.
