Death trooper in arena?

As much as I love DT you are missing SA which is a prerequisite to running zader right now unless you have blue whale mods. I would maybe start there.

@Olddumper do you think a 5 stars SA would work in top arena? I'm on a 4 months shard running Zader .

My thoughts on all toons are that star levels are irrelevant I used to use 3* DT in arena. I've used 3* DN and I'm currently using 4* Krennic. If a squad is make or break on 2 extra stars it's probably not worth in in the 1st place. That being said yes a 5 SA will work.

Ok, thank you, I'll give it a try once she's gear ready.

Don't have Zader, so I'll take your word for it. However, I think the super tanky DPS that a well modded Zavage offers would suit that squad well.

Having run Vader since he got his zeta, I have a krap ton of experience using him and I've used DT since he came out too.

My first question would be, what ranking are you currently sitting at? That makes a difference to teams you face.

Additionally, dt's double tap vs rebels is so dang good right now. Wedge, Biggs, r2, baze, chirrut and new ahsoka are all rebels and daze/stun is powerful.

That all being said, to run an extremely effective zVader, you need the core 3: zVader, Sass, DN. Get sass as fast as you can (mine is 276). Get Vader as fast as you can and keep his crit chance about 35%. Have dn at .76% of sass speed (round down) so you can always have Vader move first then dn follow with all those tasty dots on everyone. Now for the +2. Tanks are needed. Shore can work, but not the best. Gk and sith trooper are 2 I leave in overnight. Mostly I run: Vader, sass, dn, gk +1. The +1 is usually sith trooper, dt or tarkin. Dt punishes rebels. Trooper is great when battleing mauls for extra taunts and tarkin is for when I want to have fun.

I can usually get ~top 10 with effort and 1 refresh. My shard is March 2016 (a few have 40-60 g11). Mostly Rex, GK, Chaze, DN with the occasional Zaul, Jedi, Resistance, FO, or GK lead.

I don't have GK (loyal to guild...), or chaze.
