I'm developing my Empire team at the moment, and have been leaning towards Darth Vader, Emperor Palaptine, Grand Moff Tarkin, Tie Fighter Pilot and Royal Guard. However I also have a pretty strong Grand Admiral Thrawn (5*) that I'm thinking of swapping instead of Grand Moff Tarkin.Good idea? Bad idea? I have a really strong Phoenix team (strong enough to win 7* Palpatine this month) so if Thrawn's event comes back I'm going to build him up with them.

Tarkin is amazing. I would not dump him. Use EP, Vader, Thrawn, Tarkin + a fifth.I'm using Tarkin Lead right now with Thrawn, EP, Vader and Death Trooper. Made it to the 4th place payout in arena. I'm undergeared compared to my top 10. I have 4 gear 9 and Thrawn is at gear 10. I can beat any Rebel or NS team at the moment and I have 0 zetas and only a few omegas on their basics. lvl 7 on all of their specials.

2018 style Empire uses Pal Thrawn IPD Shore Death. Anyways Thrawn is better than Tarkin for sure

I will be swapping out for shore and death trooper once I get my hands on them. Haven't got them yet. In the meantime I might play your suggestions. Regardless, though, it seems that Thrawn is in.

Thrawn is one of the most powerful Empire toons. You should have him in any sort of your lineup. RG isn't worth it right now. I'd take him out. When you can, switch in Shore to get a good taunter in there.Edit: typos

The squad at the top of my shard has ep Vader dn thrawn and gmt. Not a single tank. Anyone else see this? I'm around 30 won't be able to get there just curious. I'm starting to wonder if tanks are even useful anymore. You need 3 of them to even have anyone taunting after first turn.

Actually for a long period of time, I was using Zarriss as my tank under a Zaul lead. Good against speedy thrawn and raid han teams. If raid han shoots first, it will be always be her first. And if thrawn fractures her at the start, no fret as well, cause all I need is her unique critical heal.

Pull TFP

Run Ep Dv Tarkin Thrawn and 5th. Either wampa, ShT, GK if you can.

1. Is Vader viable @5* for this lineup?
2. Is Palp viable as lead w/o his zeta (currently farming this..)
3. If Palp not viable w/o zeta who is the next viable alternative for lead - Thrawn or Tarkin?

It sounds like you are in early game so yeah EP lead is fine without a zeta but then make it your 1st zeta. I honestly have no clue how to build a zetaless squad. But that is the only 1 zeta squad I know that can rock it on any shard.
