Please Just Stop with Royal Guard

Just open with a fast TFP special. Buff block on RG renders him nearly useless.

Not really an option for the OP. We've already determined they're a new player on a younger shard, which is why it's RG/Rey rather than; Wiggs, Shore, Chaze, etc.

The fastest easiest options I see are Qui-Gon or Ventress, since they're both farmable in shipments making them faster farms. But they should definitely start working on TFP.

Wait until your shard matures enough to have Chaze, 7* Shore, General Kenobi, 298 speed TFP lol

I don't think he'll be seeing Chaze. That tourney was awhile ago and he's on a young shard. Lucky him, lol.

Nothing wrong with RG. Just put him back in today. He has more power than my max Zader @11K and can take a beating. Really depends on who you're battling bc buff removers will make him more like in the movies... doormen that do not battle. Plus he looks like he's in a marching band now so he has comedic effects.

@b808k

So they did update his stance? I thought I just imagined it but I never noticed him holding his stun stick over his shoulder until recently.

To those saying he's garbage:

I actually prefer RG over Shoretrooper on my squad for many teams in arena. Wiggs is becoming less prevalent and while buff immunity does make him less useful I run him with crit avoidance and tenacity. He takes a beating.

He was out of my squad for a long time but I put him back in recently. Under Palp lead his health his good and when even if he loses his taunt early that just gives him time to heal and taunt again.

Having the rest of your squad really fast helps as well. Hes really there more to catch counter attacks and for his stun.

Rg's don't dance, they just pull up their pants
And lean back
Rg is now an og

Did RG get a zeta and I missed it? So Zoyal Guard or ZG?

I wish. Turns out the only two Empire characters missing level 8 abilities, are Stormtrooper and General Veers. Zetas could turn there kits around I guess. But that means Snowtrooper and Magmatrooper won't be getting any better.

Tarkin's leader ability is lvl 7. EP's leader ability and Unique are lvl 7. They're probably not going to give a Zeta to EP, but maybe Tarkin. But technically the Empire characters with slots open for Zetas:

Tarkin, Veers, EP, and Stormtrooper.

@SkyeLeonne, b2/boba/tfp...the list goes on

To be fair to the OP, all the comments are solutions for top level players. I remember between lower levels, RG was a big problem. This was because you could go to gear9 really early for RG with a Caller raid piece. This boosted protection massively. Toons below level 65 didn't have the firepower to prevent auto-taunt. The only real solution was with the release of tfp to stop taunt, and QGJ to dispel.
