Imperial trooper, worth it?!

Troopers are very fun in PvE, not so great in PvP.

If anything, it's worth machine gunning all the murder bears in the Empire v. Ewok event...

Imperial Troopers are definitely worth it.

However, I would recommend this course of action: Get your phoenix to 7* so that you can 7* Thrawn. Get your Veers and Thrawn to 7* that way you can 7* R2-D2. After you have 7* R2, you can get CLS. CLS will change your game significantly and allow you to basically do anything.

After CLS I'd say farm ImpTroop/Nightsisters as a side project but mainly farm for JTR, who will change your game as well. However, you seem to prefer dark side with Empire and Sith, so I'd also farm up your Sion, he deserves a lot more love than you're giving him.

With a Zeta on Veers the imp troopers are real fun! They are not much usefull for pvp (once a imp trooper team at TW defence gave us the win as our last standing team) but they are very good at pve content.

I am already farming a team for r2: EP, DV, GMT, DT and ST, they will do it easy especially with my EP zeta, I haven’t focused on Phoenix yet (because I don’t like them but also because I got better to do) because my thrawn does the job, the only reason for me to put him to 7* is for the raid but definitely something to do for the future. Imp trooper can really be good in arena too and I left Sion behind because he was only 3* but after I put nihilus to 7*(50shards away) and unlocked shore, I will focus on putting him at least to 5* and then i’ll Do the same for shore, JTR is another thing to do

ITs are very strong except for Magma, you most definitely need Veers (leader duh) and Starck (very good buffs) the problem is you now have 2 great attackers and 2 great tanks to choose from and now it depends on your playstyle

Shore is great, taunt as well as heal and crit immunity is hard to look past so he automatically gets dibs, Snow has a extremely powerful aoe he can keep using over and over, that leaves Storm and Death, Storm is a very good tank before Shore thanks to his defense up as well as 30% defense to IT allies, giving all allies a solid 80% defense, Death however has daze and aoe dispell so he is good too, but the issue is Death is a painfully long farm.

Magma (paired with Thrawn and DT) is good in STR.

I thought about putting thrawn in, my line up: veers lead, death, snow, thrawn, shore. I almost got death at 5* and I am going to need to farm shore and veers from hard nodes(gonna take ages) and for my snow, I managed to put him to 6* 45 shards just from ally point packs which is crazy, it saved me a lot of time, I don’t think I need starch though.

Imperial troopers in the arena are a sliding scale.

Five trooper Veers lead is not a good idea in the arena.

There are four, three, two, and one-trooper configurations that can work out quite well.

Personally, I run a Thrawn and four troopers configuration in the arena. It's a fun team, but I don't recommend it, but I'm kind of locked into it until I free up some resources from other commitments. And probably until I get JTR. For PvE, though, it's great, and on arena offense, it's a decent counter to nightmare, as Vader feeds the party a ton of turn meter with Force Crush.

A Krennic troopers lineup is as close as I'd recommend to a full trooper team as I'd recommend, and even that's fairly dated. Krennic, Deathtrooper, Shoretrooper, zVeers, and either Thrawn or Starck. Preferably Thrawn, as his interaction with Krennic's leader ability is hilarious.

Veers' leader ability, unfortunately, isn't great. And Empire has a lot of great leader abilities. His unique is more important to empower troopers, so unless you're forced into Veers lead, like for the IPD fight, it's usually best to use a different Empire lead.

Veers lead maybe isnt the best but consider this, you have to drop a IT unique shared bonus and a lot of them are good

Nice perks, but not good enough to make up for losing out on a stronger leadership bonus.
