Are DK, DT and ShT arena viable for long?

I’m currently running EP L, DV, Thrawn, TFP and GMT in arena and I’m solidly in the top 20 due to good gear. I just hit lvl81 and I’m considering what to do once I am level 82/83. I enjoy empire characters a lot and I’m considering farming DT exclusively from cantina while starting the extremely slow hard battle farms of ShT and DK (though DK is also in guild events store). What I’m most curious of is whether a team of EP, DV, DT, ShT and DK will be able to do well in squad once it becomes saturated with JTR and CLS teams.
  • DT is too good, and while tarkin has tm removal and good debuffs, he’s not able to do even close to the amount that DT can do. DT is quite possibly the single best character in the game. He has both cooldown increase and a permakill like Nihilus, but he also has a daze on his basic, TM manipulation with krennic, can inflict heal immunity and has an area dispel (rare in the game)and has a multiattack against rebels (arguably the strongest faction). He has a partner that is insanely good. Alongside krennic, he deals increased damage, can protect him from crits and heal and i almost forgot, he has a guaranteed crit. It’d be hard to argue taking him out of any empire lineup. Oh and he gives troopers health steal so ShT gets a boost to his health just by being on his team.

    I always knew how awesome DT was but just reading out all the good things about him in pure text really makes it a no brainer. I just omega'ed his terminate so he has deathmark now. I just need to get the omega on his grenade so that it increases cooldowns a la Nihilus. Looks like I'll be pulling Tarkin and put Shore in when I get him soon. My DT is 4* and Shore will only be 3* but I'll put some of my best protection and health mods on so he should be fine.

    I'll dump the Tarkin lead (was giving me an insane speed bonus) and go with Palpy lead so i can get that TM gain + extra potentcy and max health.
