What is the downside to DeathTrooper (DT)?

Don't have him, but if I were to make a guess I would say because then you'd have to replace another character, if you're not going to have krenic lead then you will likely have palps, with palps comes Vader, TFP definitely in there also. then either shore trooper as he is empire Or baze because at this point you could just throw him anywhere and he'd be amazing. After this you only have one free spot that isn't pretty much mandatorily given away, and that is most likely going to boba

IMO DT and DK have great synergy - reminds me of something similar to Biggs and Wedge. I've been using them off and on, under different leaders, DK as the leader and so on. The both gain bonuses if each is present, DK can revive DT and based on the DoTs on enemies, DT can come back with full health, plus attack on reviving.

I personally think DK as a leader is probably the better way to set-up his team instead of him being a secondary to Palps or Vader. There are enough empire toons now to make 2 really viable squads, each with their own leaders.

I've been focusing on empire for a while now and set-up my first team in GW with DK (L), DT, Magma, Tarkin and Boba. Once they were done, I switched over to EP (L), Vader, Shore, RG & TFP. I'm working on regular storm trooper, Veers and snow trooper but they aren't viable to me yet to test out under these leaders.

I don't rate Boba at all. He's ok but in the current meta you need to build the squad around him. His Execute was a pain when he first started coming out but now with Krennic lead and DT's Deathmark, Boba hasn't been a problem at all. Also, didn't know if you knew but the Deathmark works like the Pigs's Deathmark, if Boba dies while Deathmark was on him, he doesn't revive. DT is a hard counter to Boba

Do you think the zeta for Krennic would be useful or just kind of icing on the cake? I've considered farming zetas again for another one but I'm not seein any that are just outstanding that would benifit my roster too much. I got Zader because of the raid potential but that took forever

I would say price.

The downside is how much he will cost to get a 7*

But mine even at 3* has more health and protection than my TFP who is 7*, both gear 11 level 85

Who's DK?

ah true, but still goes without saying that death trooper would likely be a 5th spot on a palps lead, and even then it's mainly because of his AoE dispell

I don't think he does enough damage as a 3* to justify using him in place of someone else. He's definitely not better than TFP or EP in Zaul and Zader teams

He looks similar to all of the other bulky attackers, high health and decent armor but low damage
