Taunts: Sith trooper:Sith Trooper has +100% Defense. Whenever a Sith ally uses a Special ability or falls below 50% Health, Sith Trooper gains Defense Up for 2 turns. If he already had Defense Up, he gains Taunt for 2 turns. If he already had Taunt, he gains Retribution for 2 turns. Sith Trooper gains Defense Up for 2 turns at the start of each encounter.Royal Guard:Level 8At the end of each turn, if any other ally took damage that turn, Royal Guard gains 15% Turn Meter and recovers 6% Health. In addition, Royal Guard Taunts for 1 turn whenever another ally falls below 50% Health.In my opinion Sith trooper is better because he taunts whenever someone uses a special and, like royal Guard, taunts when someone is below 50% health.What do you think?

Sith trooper also gains retribution, imo he will be a much better tank than rg on sith teams, without sith he won't do much good at all.

Sith Trooper can also regain protection on his AOE and his AOE counts as a sith special ability which will give him the taunt/retritbution as well. His basic inflicts defense down which is great as sith love debuffs and sith couldn't previously apply defense down. His AOE also can apply offense down, which only Savage could do before (for sith).

If you''re mixing Sith and Empire I'd say RG is still a bit better, since Sith Trooper relies in having lots of Sith allies in order to proc taunt and retribution asap.

Sith trooper, he is like RG and shore had a baby

He himself counts as a sith so his AOE can trigger it, then if you have say EP and Vader in there (for Empire mixing) if it's EP's lead, EP can use his AOE to trigger it, Vader will be able to do two specials in a row under an EP lead so that's taunt+retribution right away. You could still toss in TFP and another Empire character or Boba.

I think an equally valid question would be Shoretrooper or Sith Trooper?

I think the answer is still similar - with a Zaul lead and at least 2 other Sith (likely EP & Vader) SithT probably will work better. With an EP or Zader lead, Shore might still be the better option - unless you also run Maul in that group - then SithT might still have decent syenergy to be superior.

I think it also depends on how fast you can get your own sith. If you can get them faster than your enemies than definitely Sith Trooper because you can trigger the taunt right away. If you can't speed them up enough Shore might still be better to protect your team early in the match.

With zaul lead, it's easy to get Palp faster than anything besides je. Wouldn't sith trooper gain taunt first turn in that situation?

If you can get a Sith to beat out Wiggs (or have a non-sith on the team under Zaul to bite the bullet) Sooper have the advantage of Counters, and if under Pappy, once fixed, can self-healing as he counters.

The danger is dispellers force you to process it twice.

But with dispellers the other sith will also probably be dropping under 50% health at some point so as long as you had it up first you should be alright.
