Considering a Tarkin Lead Arena team - need help!

Hi all,

I want to try something different with my arena team - I currently run a rex lead with thrawn, nihlus, shore and TFP. I have Tarkin and other Empire characters ready to go, and I also have enough Zetas to put a Zeta on Tarkin's leadership. Could people provide me with advice on what the best team composition I could make from the following characters based on a Tarkin lead?

- Tarkin: G10, 195 Speed (Can Zeta leadership)
- Thrawn: G10, 247 Speed
- Tie Fighter Pilot: G10, 245 Speed
- Palpatine: G11, 200 Speed
- Zader: G10, 188 Speed
- Shore Trooper: G11, 122 Speed (61k protection)

Other possible toons:

- Nihlus: G10,193 Speed
- Bobba: G10, 193 Speed

The above speeds are just an indicator of what I can achieve - I can move the mods around to make certain toons faster etc. My thought process was that Thrawn would in most cases go first with 277 speed (under Tarkin Zeta lead) - I would then switch turn meter with Tarkin and use his Debuff AoE, and then his TM removal AoE and then the rest would depend on my team composition.

I DON'T currently have Death Trooper geared or levelled up - hes sitting at 3* G1 and I am working on farming him slowly - I know he is an important toon in Empire teams.

So using the characters listed above - what would be my best Tarkin lead composition AND would this hold better on defense than my Current Arena team of Rex (L), Thrawn, Shore, TFP & Nihlus (I usually finish in the top 20 on payout).

Thanks!

  • I think Thrawn is a far better leader than Tarkin. I propose you a Thrawn (L), Tarkin, Shore, Nihil, TFP team. But TFP is easy to kill so Kenobi or Zarriss would be better. If you have zeta(s), I'd say 1. Thrawn leader, 2. Thrawn unique, 3. Tarkin unique.
  • You need a tank and a dispeller, so with Tarkin, add ShT, DN (since you don't have listed DT), Thrawn and another one. TFP can work as DPS with all the debuff of Tarkin imo.
  • So definite characters would be:

    - Thrawn
    - Tarkin
    - Shoretrooper
    - Nihlus

    Then I have a tank, a displer, TM reduction and cleanser (albeit not a team wide one).

    And its a throw up between Thrawn or Tarkin lead - one of which I could Zeta.

    Would people say that ideally the 5th character should be Death Trooper, but until I have him, TFP would work well due to the Debufs Tarkin can inflict (to increase his damage an TM)
