Yes Empire got two new characters and a Ship. After that though, the entire First Order received reworks. Then we got three new Sith characters and buffs across the board for the existing Sith in the game. We even recently got a bundle for a new First Order Ship.Empire deserves to get the same treatment those two factions got. Before being forgotten when factions X,Y, and Z are getting their new characters and reworks/buffs.Stormtrooper and General Veers need reworks and Zeta's. Like what First Order characters got. Snowtrooper and Magmatrooper need buffs. Similar to how the Sith were handled with their Faction Pass. Grand Moff Tarkin absolutely needs a Zeta on his leader ability, to make Empire viable again.

Plenty of other factions need some love to, like Nightsisters, Droids, Seperatists etc. Empire is currently one of the best chocies for arena right now.

Tuskens need one first, they were here first

How many Empire teams do you see at the top that aren't hybrids using Empire leads. Certainly none of the toons I mentioned are at the top or even close to it. Just EP, Vader, TFP, and SHT. And yes other Factions need some love, but Empire was already lined up. I just want devs to take a step backwards, fix these five characters, and then move forward to Nightsisters, Tuskans, or whoever else.

Sith are good, Empire is not. I ran Zader lead with full Empire rather than some hybrid and it failed. The other factions will get their turns, but Empire should have already gotten theirs when Krennic and DT were released.

Put zader up front boost up magmatrooper and with the others you mentioned ep sht tfp.....well thats an a grade arena team right now.

Sith 1st order and resistance (recent faction reworks) were all universally poor in arena before.

I would suggest empire is still viable in arena and if you are losing on defence well thats just good game balance. If you are losing on offence you might want to rethink your strategy.

And if you need other options like dispell there are other darkside options - b2 / boba

I have Magmatrooper in my team, who I think is bugged, still collecting data on that. But General Veers and Stormtrooper are universally poor in arena, and Tarkin still only has a level 7 leader ability.

I shouldn't have to wait through every other faction, Rebels included, before getting my Empire Zetas.

Seriously? Empire has the best toons as of now with best non Zeta lead (maybe second best). EP TFP Shore DT Krennic Vader?

It is team that is widely used already...

We all know EP Vader and TFP are widely used at the moment. Krennic and DT however aren't because they're truthfully not that great. I'm wanting Stormtrooper, Veers, Snow, Magma, and Tarkin to get touch ups.

They do have Zetas. Stormtrooper, General Veers, and Tarkin do not have their Zetas yet.
