New proposed Stormtroopers Zeta change on "Wall of Stormtroopers"

Zombie is a unique mechanic and should remain that way. It's obnoxious enough as it is.

Or it grants a unique buff that: While Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, Thrawn, Tarkin, or Krennic are alive Stormtrooper gains this buff that grants him revive with 100% health 15% protection, 100% turn meter, and grants all allies 75% Turn Meter when he has been defeated.

That wouldn’t happen because we don’t need another NS Zombie. (Please, don’t make another NS Zombie)

Help me out here and help me understand why not?

There's no way to abuse this to my knowledge.

stats alone Zombie has a better Offensive, Defensive, and abilities then Stormtrooper.. The only one that stands to benefit from this to what I can figure is Asajj with a Zeta'd Rampage.

Stormtrooper still has to use an action to taunt via his special while Zombie just has to counter to get one on...

If there's a way to abuse it tell me how as I would really like to know.

I don’t have a big reason other than I hate that anything can survive my Nihilus’s Annihilate

Sounds cool, his actual zeta SUCKS

Zombie is not a unique mechanic.

Zombie auto-revives as long as there is another NS alive. Scarif Pathfinder auto-revives as long as SP has a buff when killed.

Scarif Pathfinder actually came first. What makes the NS zombie so nasty is a combo of:
1. Auto-taunt at the end of every turn,
and
2. Auto-Stealth for the Acolyte.

Actually, before Zombie was even released and before the Imperial Trooper rework I suggested on these forums that Stormy should get an Auto-revive as long as there was another Empire toon alive. IIRC, the suggestion was before the IT rework by only a week or two, so when it came out shortly after I thought that they probably hadn't had time to seriously consider the suggestion. Then a couple months later, the NS rework came along and we got the Zombie. Maybe suggestions on the board (including mine) made a difference, but once they had decided on the creepy Halloween them for the faction pass, a zombie was inevitable, and with Scarif Pathfinder already in the game as an auto-revive, giving that power to the zombie might also have been inevitable.

So I'm not saying that our input made the zombie, and I'm not saying that it's likely that Stormy will ever (or will never) get a better zeta. I don't know.

But I will say that the idea for infinite auto-revives has been around at least since the Pathfinder, the suggestion has been made for Stormy, and Stormy still doesn't have it.

Yes, I think it would be in character. No, I don't think that it's likely to happen any time remotely soon. Which is a shame, because I think it would be thematically perfect and make Stormy as valuable as the character's iconic status deserves.

yeah, I'm never going to zeta Stormtrooper because it doesn't make sense for a Taunting character to gain an offensive advantage when other characters die. The mechanic is designed to prevent deaths, or be the first one to go... so, I'm in favor of a rework.

StormTrooper autoreviving is ok with me as long as the Revive can be prevented.
