Best tank for Palp lead, Vader, Nihilus and Thrawn?

leef my point being basically is that LS has for the longest time had strong squads and strong synergy whereas DS just had a couple good toons. Hopefully all that is changing and continues to change and become more balanced.

i agree with that. Currently they're in a good place though competative wise.
I also agree about vader under palp, he boosts the whole team.

I'm sure next month they'll release an easy to obtain LS character that will completely negate the momentum that the sith/empire have gained... Probably will have an unique ability that starts all LS characters with unremovable tenacity up or something... But I'm going to enjoy playing DS as long as I can...

Rex, of course, has already started to stick his annoying head above the parapet. If ability block doesn't stick what are you supposed to do? R2 stealths, raid Han has stunned Palp or Thrawn, and before you know it, Rex has Ten Up and GK is taunting.

KRU can stun a character for two turns as well (granted it can be dispelled). But how do you think he compares to the other DS tanks? (just curious myself)

It's probably GK on offense vs RJT. ShT on defense vs RJT and ShT always vs NS.

KRU I plan to test out early next week some. Won't be 7* but he is g11. My thought is with his pretaunt, retribution, and gaining taunt against debuffed targets he will provide consistent control for an EP squad. And he has his dispel/stun/taunt halt which is useful AF. Not as good as GK, unfortunately not sith/empire so won't get the bonus hp but imo better than SiT. Shoretrooper is probably still the optimal choice (other than GK or gk clone) but I think kru will be good.

And for anyone who knows me... Kylo. The answer is always Kylo.

lol

Thanks for the info! I'd like to know how that turns out for you!

Seems like KRU would be a far easier farm than both SiT and Shore. Unfortunately, he would need a zeta to pre-taunt and for 100% counter :/. I have Palp lead zeta but not his or Vader's uniques yet. So KRU would be third in line for me personally. Right now I have Zarris in the tank spot (Palp, Vader, zNihilus, zThrawn, Zarris) and she holds me at about 63 in arena, though I have dipped down in the 30s /40s at times. Considering farming KRU with cantina energy, stormtrooper with the cantina money, and shore with reg energy so I can actually have some DS tanks!
*As much as I enjoy playing sith, farming 16 energy nodes for SiT is a pain :/

I would double farm shore and Kru. Or try to get GK. I already have kru zeta'd so that part is already done

Nice! Yeah I was actually considering doing just that. At least doubling up on shore.

I'm the ShT baby GK argument a lot depends on what that 8 speed does for you
