Can you get some eyes on his cooldown? Its not being reduces when losing buffs.

Yes and also investigate his Stand Guard because it does always heal and provide TM when using EP specials while shore trooper has taunt up.

In my opinion this character is a broken reward from a broken tournament. It brings no alternative to the Wiggs Meta other than being part of the said Wiggs Meta. An empire squad is a no threat to a Lando + Wiggs + SThan setup with or without shore trooper. Not only he won't even have time to use his basic attack or his Regroup ability but in almost every situations the Empire squad is bound to lose on speed and tm removal from SThan and will receive 4 AoE in the face before even issuing a single action. It is quite frustrating to see the tm bars melted down by speedy StHan even on a team with Emperor Palpatine leader and its 32% potency removal from rebels.... something wrong in happening there as well.
In terms of game play the current meta is absolute garbage that requires as much brain cells as it takes to push the auto combat button. It wins on burst damage, initiative, speed and turn meter so it is no surprise that shore trooper is not enough to bring balance between empire and rebels. If you can't beat them then join them is the best advice for now and to remain competitive rebel squad is the way to go. Squeeze in Sun Fac or Rex for the win. Counter squads might shine in attack against the meta but they do not cut it in defence against players that manage their single target and aoe properly.
