Any Viable Empire Teams?

Is there any viable Empire teams out there? Looking at Swgoh.gg it really doesn't look like it.

    thats exactly the team i run

    https://swgoh.gg/u/theepdx/

    not got ubermods but ok. i was running ep lead and was 150-100, moved to dk and got under 50 a couple of times, but dropped 60-150 last night! cls is a complete nightmare. can trounce resistance if i ab block poe, and jedi are generally ok but new rebel teams just blow me away.

    i missed thrawn, got all poonix to 7* now bar sabine 55/100 or so.

    im one gear from gxii for DT so wondering whether to carry on or cut my losses and go LS.

    sigh


  • Same team as cipher except Tarkin rides the bench. Top 3 daily. I drop as far as mid twenties but usually less.

    It's only going to get worse once CHS and ROLO hit arena.

    That being said, your mods are NOT ok. At least not for an Empire squad.

    Your toons are way too slow and a little light on protection.

    I stopped trying to take first. It is too frustrating right now. :\

    Edit:

    OP, Krennic is currently THE HARDEST dark side toon to farm. His absence from the meta report should be taken with that in mind.

    I just spent the last 4 months farming his hard node and refreshing it every day since the hard nodes were increased from 3 to 5.

    I also bought st least 24 shards from shipments.

    Running Krennic also requires having DT on the squad and Zeta'd.

    Can you show me your mods?
    I do not have Thrawn yet sadly - I was so angered by the underhanded move of making it Phoenix-based with just 1 week left that I skipped it - but I have saved up gear and mats for him to catapult to G11 (only need the really rare ones now like the Mk7 shield generator, the Mk8 electrobinocular and the Mk 10 lens).

    ok well thanks for the tips. i guess i should have said theyve got the best mods i own. yours are clearly lots better. not farmed any for a while due to pheonix/OB from cantina.

    cheers
  • Pure empire:
    Zrennic
    Zeathtrooper
    Shore
    TIE
    Thrawn
    You'd have to get lucky and fracture Luke ASAP
  • After joining the Empire's discord channel and talking to people, it seems like Thrawn, DT, ShT, ST, and either Krennick or Tarkin can hold top 5.
