Is a 3* shoretrooper worth the effort?

I usually finish 2-10 in the arena depending on how much time I have. The only teams that give me trouble right now are Chaze and a very good Darth Maul Zeta lead. There is no guarantee shoretrooper will get me past these teams.

Maybe someone in a tounament or arena would be more likely to avoid me with a character that starts with a taunt. Shore is the only one I have. No others are on the horizen.

In this game leveling one character is at the expense of another. Do you think a 3* shoretrooper is worth the gear it will take to make him good - 3 stun guns, 2 droid callers...? I will prolly work on B2 otherwise.

Thanks

    My G10 3* shore has 37.5k Protection with solid mods, very well worth the investment IMO.

    I also done a video on it when it was G9 for my guild which you can find here https://www.twitch.tv/jevarinos/v/107982037

    @BrianBuchanans thanks for the feedback, I do appreciate it.
    I have been wanting to swap Rey out but haven't been sure on the best way to go about it with my line up.

    I'm using a 3* Gear 8 Shore on my empire team on a wiggs heavy late March shard at the moment, and he helped me beat the number one player, who is a whale and has sat there for months, all as a FTP. If wiggs is sitting all over your server Shore is definitely worth it, although since you have chaze and maul zeta on your sever it might just be better to go for b2, and then do Shore afterwards.

    Agree he's viable if you gear high and can add tons of protection with OP mods.

    If you have mediocre mods don't bother or if it's going to take a month to G11 him.

    A toon is only half of it, without the right top mods every toon is worthless.

    Also keep in mind, he may be viable for a bit but could quickly change. I know a F2P guy on my shard that bought ST to 4* g10-11 and did very well for a while but now he's struggling to stay top 10. He's on the same payout as me and all I did was change my mods to make them faster than him and swapped 1 toon. Now he can't beat me just like before he paid for ST.

    shore is easy to mod, he doesn't really need anything except for protection and maybe some speed to get his taunt+crit immunity going.
    If you can't win with a 3* g10 shore, you probably won't win with a 7* g11 shore either.

    That's basically it, you need to survive to the point of getting crit immunity up which entails surviving a Biggs triple plus Wedge. The better the mods the lower you can go but F2P players contemplating paying for the final ST shards may not have the mods.
