PSA: EP change has shifted my P3 strategy/team and wanted to pass this along just as FYI for any who might experience this. My HAAT P3 Chirpatine team included RG, STHan and Poe. I would taunt with STHan to start off and save Poe's taunt for when STHan was nearly dead, then hit auto/basic and sit back and let RNG deliver my final score (typically between 600k-800k, I'm not working towards getting it higher, employing the "good enough" strategy). With the change to EP (end of his turn shock damage), any exposed adds at zero health were killed off, throwing a wrench in the chirpatine strategy, which I noticed with a BOOM of the tanks main cannon and my inability to employ cat-like reflexes to grab my device quick enough to stop the words DEFEAT popping up on my screen before I knew what was happening. Lesson learned! No more Poe, or, taunt much earlier. Probably switching him out for Sun Fac.

Good to know, I was thinking to introduce Poe also.

So what you're saying is if you use someone other than Poe as a tank you'll be fine?

Definitely go for Sun Fac. Much, much stronger tank. If you can get Shore I would recommend him, for the auto taunt at the beginning. I use Shore, RG, and Sun Fac. It's the best combo, IMO. Consistently able to do 800-1.0M, and have hit 1.2 with it, tho with the new update to Shore (crit immunity), I am more consistent now (1.0-1.1M).

@SnakesOnAPlane Shore is a perfect fit, great advice for sure. I'll (slowly) work that direction (add him to the long list of things I need to farm! Lol) Thank you."Iwells911;c-1062881" wrote:So what you're saying is if you use someone other than Poe as a tank you'll be fine?For the most part, yes I believe so. As my guild handles HAAT just fine, any damage I do in P3 will be fine. However I think Snakes strategy is the best solution if one wants to try to increase their scores.Mainly I'm just hopeful someone working towards a chirpatine team sees/searches here and adjusts their Poe strategy. (Edit to add) After this happened to me last night, I came here for a search and didn't see anything, so just wanted to try and help anyone out.

I use SF, STH, RG and often get over a million. Sometimes one of the tanks is still alive after EP is killed by the AoE so I need no further development on tanks. Maybe shore's a little better than Han but not worth buying to 7* in the shop (lol single hard node farming) just for a few extra points.

What is the change to EP and his end of turn shock damage? The only thing I see in the update notes is "Emperor Palpatine can now remove Turn Meter from his unique "Crackling Doom" under a Darth Vader Zeta lead." I don't see anything about exposed and shocked can die from shock damage either.

It's exactly what you stated. That Unique wasn't removing TM previously.

Yes, but I don't understand what that change has to do with a P3 Chirpatine/3 taunt team.

i think the change to Poe's expose is probably the cause of said expose being triggered by palp's shock.

Nothing. There's another thread this morning where the OP is talking about this and a Zader lead.
