Best toons for imperial trooper squad

Veers, Piett, Stark are required really and then you can have any from Range Trooper, Death Trooper, Snow Trooper, Dark Trooper or even Moff Gideon. Any of the last two members will work. If I had them all, I’d use Dark Trooper and Gideon, if they were still a bit out of reach I’d go Snow and Range Troopers.

Older troopers, in order of importance, are
Veers (for the lead)
Stark (TM removal/buffs, stagger)
Piet (Emporer's trap, daze)
...
Range (usually better than DT in a troopers squad, but doesn't have the remnant tag, so if you can only 7*/gear one of the two I'd go for DT)

the literal bottom of the barrel
Stormtrooper (terrible right now, but also getting a touchup and the remnant tag) - I can't advise gearing him up right now, but I'd at least have him 7* in case he's needed for an imperial remnant event - he is also an accelerate farm

Completely disagree that stormtrooper is the worst. Modded correctly he acts as a far better tank than stormtrooper. His defence is excellent.

I personally don't think Gideon belongs with the imperial troopers myself. He's too solid of a plug and play to dedicate him to just one team. Personally enjoying the standard Veers, Strk, DT, Piett and Range Trooper combo the most.

If you really want to rock n roll with the Imp troopers first thing you gotta do is put the zeta on Veers. For the longest time I ran Veers lead, snow, Starck, death, range. Piett got swapped in for death when he came out. Now with Piett and his emperors trap I can smoke nightsister and bounty hunters in about 30 seconds. Once you get that TM train rolling it’s game over. Recently I cruised right through the killer Ewoks assault battles all the way to challenge teir 2. The Imp troopers are a fun and quick kill squad that don’t require a lot of zetas or cryotech. You’ll really enjoy these guys!!

Hahaha excellent.

Obviously I meant storm can tank better than shore.

Not saying shore sucks as he don't. But storm is a lot better than people think.

You always want Veers, Starck and Piett. Period.
After that you absolutely want Range, his kit is slim and simple but adds so much to the team that the overall performance is getting way up.
For the last slot it really depends on the situation but you can't do wrong with either Death or Snow. Death is more tactical and should be used for buff heavy teams or single strong enemies, Snow shines against tons of smaller victims with its raw firepower. Gideon can help with fast opponents and has a mass attack so he can start the turn meter train more easy.
Tanks can help at some points but aren't really needed for any content right now.

This is my choice of weaponry until we have enough good troopers that synergise well to make 2 high caliber teams. I won't break it to make 2 mediocre ones.

I know it's been a while, but after what we've seen, how do you feel about replacing range with dark? Is the raw damage superior to range's calls to assist?

On top of their Kit Synergy, Veers-Stark-Piett are All required for SEE at Relic levels.

So as mentioned above, those 3 are a given.

The big question is, do you plan on having a "Remnant-Troopers" team?
If so then obviously MoffG-Dark-Death-Storm all go there.
That team needs a "Support" still & only Range qualifies :(

I look forward to the next 2 Marque characters, Really hoping one of them is Scout Biker Trooper as a Support w/ Remnant tag to match Mando S1 & give Range up to be with Veers for sure.

I feel like Range/Snow is the best combo with the top 3 "officers" above.

Gideon is still extremely useful as a plug and play, in which case you sub in Starck.

That’s it.

Thanks. My issue is that I’m trying to go for a total of 5 (a trooper I farm and gear means one less prerequisite farmed for a GL). Since veers, piett and starck are mandatory to relic for SEE, those 3 are definitely on the team. I then need the best possible next 2. One would be gideon, while the other I initially thought would be range, but I’m now leaning towards dark. Would you go for other ones? I’d like to be able to counter see teams with them as well
