All things Thrawn. Questions on team comps.

I dont have krennic, snowtrooper, veers, or tarkin gear up very high. I currently run thrawn L, vader, shore, EP, and DT. I have seen tarkin and krennic do go in the aat p3 but was wondering what other teams ppl run that are fun and productive. Whether a zeta on Veers or DT is good. I know a lot of ppl still run DN but i refuse bc i want an all empire team
  • If you're talkin' a decent Empire team for raids and GW, then the Imperial Troopers are great for several parts. I recommend getting Snow beefed up, since he adds tm bonus to his allies.
    I'm not sure how well Thrawn works, since I'm firmly against all rebels now, I didn't have the Pheonix squad to actually get him.

    My Empire teams are as follows: EP in lead, Vader, RG, Snow/Tarkin (whichever is needed at the moment), and TFP...or...Veers in lead, Shore, Storm, Magma, and Snow.
    I use DT every once in a while with my Imperial Trooper team, but only if I need to debuff the enemy squad.
    I do NOT use DN on my Empire squads. I am firmly against mixing units.

    Regardless, I love using an all Imperial Trooper squad. They hit hard, they hit often, and they clear battles in a hurry with minimal damage. Since they don't rely on debuffs for power, they can take out teams with defense or tenacity bonuses.

    If you can zeta only one, I would do Vader. He has a great zeta for leadership. If you zeta him, and use Tarkin, and Magma, then you can reduce the number of enemy turns.

    I highly recommend gearing up Snow. I have him at gear 9 or 10 I think, but he takes a helluva beating, and hits upwards of 20k damage.
    TFP is a good one to use, if you have him, with a debuffing Empire team. Just mod him well, because he is a bit soft. If not for his evasion, he would drop way too quick.

    I'd love to know how Thrawn is working though. He is my favorite non-force user in the SW universe, so I was bummed when I couldn't get him.

    Good luck!

    @LordVader31179 i already have zader, and thrawn is a must for the arena if u run Empire. Mine is 6* gear 11 and is really good at controlling the other team. I still can beat full gear 11 triple cleases at the top. But i did manage to finish 2nd yesteray in a Dec 15 shard. I was more wondering about putting a zeta on a unique to strengthen the team. Veers i have a long way to go but DT is gear 10 6*

    Ah, now I got you. Then DT, I think, would be the better zeta. If you have Krennic in the team. DT has the better unique in my opinion.
    After the updates for the Imperial Troopers, those zetas really only benefit the group as a whole, or the individual. Veers is zeta'd more for the other troops, and DT is protective of Krennic, with a great tm gain possibility.

    Sorry, I misread what you said initially.

    I'm glad Thrawn is proving useful in the arena. I've been bummed that Palps squads have become completely obsolete. Almost as if he is a wasted leading character.
