Death Trooper: good for empire team?

I really love Death Trooper for his Death Mark on heavy tank or hard-to-kill mob, but i have a hard time to give him a place in my empire squad. My current Empire squad: Palp, Vader, Thrawn, .....what's the 4th & 5th place. I'm leaning toward more IPD for 4th place for its suicide bombing. But for 5th place, im dividing between DT or Shoretrooper. My Empire squad needs a.....meat shield to keep my Old Man longer. Yet, DT is equipped with more CC utilities which i find more suitable to the whole team. Any advise? My target for Empire team is to counter: NS, Rebel, FO, Resistance, BH, Separist (not GG droids), Sith (non DR/Malek/FB)

    Putting DT and Shoretrooper as the 4th and 5th in that squad will be quite solid. Eventually you'll want to gear up Veers, Starck, and Snowtrooper / Range Trooper and run a full Imperial Trooper squad. At that point, I recommend Grand Moff Tarkin and Tie Fighter Pilot taking the last 2 spots on your Palpatine team.

    I agree, situational. Using GMT and TFP in the 4th and 5th spot can give you a win with the other team hardly ever taking a turn. That’s my go-to against Carth.

    I will add to the "situational" chorus, with the addition that DT is probably better used with a Troopers squad 90% of the time.

    I like keeping shoretrooper on this team to prevent an early kill on EP. For the 5th spot, I rotate tarkin, TFP, and deathtrooper based on what I’m fighting. I may also take thrawn out for other teams and put in 1 of these 3. Not disagreeing with what you said here.

    OP, it’s really just situational who you use in those last spots.

    Also works against BH and FO. Easily keeps all those teams stunned and/or ability blocked.

    I usually even pull thrawn for another squad, and throw in RG for extra stuns. Works fine.

    This, that EP train is effective

    I use him on empire with sith trooper as the 5th. It’s pretty effective in a lot of battles. I don’t use shore because I have a full trooper squad as well. But he fits on empire better than troopers in some cases. But I don’t think I would say it’s better than tarkin & tie.

    I generally use Shore w/ the Empire team for his heal + crit immunity and then run Veers/Starck/Snow/Range/DT as the trooper squad. A fast trooper squad doesn't need a tank as it will just run right over most teams it outspeeds.

    True. More often than not I end up using them for nightsisters in which case shore and death are great
