Director Krennic / Death Trooper arena squad
I'm looking at potentially switching over to a lead Director Krennic squad, thanks to the amount of rebels that still infest my shard on a regular basis.
Starting with just Krennic / Death Trooper, I see a few major issues that squad has.
Krennic is on the squishier side. That means a taunter is likely required.
An auto taunter will likely give this team fits, thanks to its lack of a fast dispel. Relying on Death Trooper's dispel, thanks to its slow speed, seems like a recipe for tears. This team really wants to kill an enemy fast to get Deathmark going, and an autotaunter harms this.
For tanks, the options that I see are Sun Fac, Shoretrooper, STHan, and Royal Guard. With Krennic being squishy, I think RG's reactive taunt isn't good enough. I'd strike out Sun Fac for being slow. I think an argument for both Shoretrooper and STHan can be made. In fact, I think it'd be wise to have both available - is the enemy faster than your STHan? Sub in Shoretrooper. Otherwise, STHan.
That leaves 2 slots. I think that Asajj needs to be available as a "sideboard" character for autotaunters, but doesn't make the cut otherwise. Otherwise, I think the usual suspects are Darth Vader, TFP, EP, Boba Fett, B2. Any other obvious synergy I'm missing?
Considering Krennic's leadership ability, I'd run TFP as an obvious choice. That leaves 1 slot and we're at:
Krennic / DT / TFP / ShT|STHan / Asajj|?
Thoughts? Is Krennic's ability worth it?
