P3 Teebo/Chirpa/TIEpatine question
So I was just wondering why OG Stormtrooper isn't recommended as a good tank for this team comp. Stormtrooper Han is self-explainatory with his TM gain to get Palps' combo running well, and Royal Guard is likewise an easy choice with his automatic taunt, stun and speed down.
Stormtrooper's taunt essentially functions as an inverse STH, removing turn meter from enemies every time he's struck, in addition to giving Empire allies Defense and Health up (Second Imperial Phalanx, basically) for the duration.
Using him in a TIEpatine team as an example, and a foreword before I get more into it: This is not proposed as a replacement for Shoretrooper. If you have Shoretrooper, I have no doubt he'd function better.
But, with a Palpatine lead, STH, TIE Fighter Pilot, RG, and OG Stormtrooper replacing the usual spot of Sun Fac or Shoretrooper, I have trouble seeing Sun Fac as best in slot at the best of times. His counter attack ruins Palps' Turn Meter combo by killing the side droids, and while his offense down debuff is nice, losing the main source of damage your team is supposed to utilize is a huge detriment. Using Stormtrooper instead, assuming high gear and max abilities, has high defense, a long taunt, and an unresistable expose.
Thoughts?
