I just have to ask, to make sure I got this straight. Keep in mind, this isn't a complaint, really. Having a character potentially farmable anywhere is better than nowhere, but...We thought Light side 9B was the place to put Shoretrooper? I guess it gives people a reason to try to beat it now, but... in order to farm shoretrooper shards, we need to have a team powerful enough so that shoretrooper is not necessary. Was that the intent?

Raid Han helps a lot, but most newer players probably don't have him yet.

You really need something like a zeta QGJ with good Jedi team. Or I don't know, maybe Chaze. Which again begs the question, why would I want Shoretrooper if I have one of these teams?

Both rebels and Jedi can 3* it so it is not like you need characters that will only be used on that node.

So i can beat the node, yet i still want to farm shore. 25/30 currently. 3 starred it with: wedge lead, biggs, ani, aayla, ahsoka and borrowed st han.

I attempted this node about 8 times yesterday. I was able to 1-star it 2x and finally 3-starred it using:Wedge Lead (G11), Biggs (G10), Lando (G11), Aayla (G11), STH (G10), and borrowed an Old Ben (G10).I saved Taunt and Jedi Mind tricks for P3 and got exceptionally fortunate with Lando's double down. I also had 2 of the 3 mobs in the first "phase" single target attack. It will take luck, it will take a lot of energy, but it can be done.

If you have a rebel team, which you most likely do because of EP and the AAT raid, Wiggs with Wedge lead, and a borrowed Lando (or vice versa), can wreck this node. Raid Han helps a lot, but most newer players probably don't have him yet.

I suppose if he's in your arena team, but you might want to consider using the team you used to beat this as your arena team, instead of shoretrooper. ;) I chew threw shoretrooper teams daily, without any tricks to make him lose his taunt, and I can't imagine wasting the energy to not only try to beat this once, but then try to collect shoretrooper shards.

Wedge L, Biggs, ST Han, Lando, EE and borrowed Ackbar all at G10 or G11 with decent mods can 3* this pretty easy.

As always - gear and mod your team up. Well modded and something that stinks of a synergy and you can get through just abotu anything.

My g10/11 Rebel team can't even get one star. Excessive AoE wipes them out.

if i could use 6 guys in arena i might have considered that ;) I actually don't use any of those guys in arena, DS is more fun (and maybe better) to play with. Palp (L), boba, TFP, shore and rex is my current arena team.
