Just my 2 cents on magma trooper but he's got some nice turn meter manipulation and if paired with a max Tarkin as speed leader and royal gaurd and maybe a glass cannon or two for slots 4 & 5 on paper it sounds like a different fun viable team. I'd like to see someone try it once the month is over and people have him.

Yea I hope magma is farmable too! But Tarkin can AOE just like magma and reduce enemy turn meter and I think that would be valuable with a couple glass cannons as 4&5 but an all empire team may work too. Just hoping he's farmable and eventually Tarkin too. I only have Tarkin at 4*

There are 2 unfarmable toons (Magma and Darth) so that really limits it even for spenders. FTP can't farm it at all. If all these guys were farmable it'd be a very good setup. Heck Vader 7* is about as powerful a toon as there is particular when dots kill.

I'm planning on running Tarkin, Veers, RG, Mama, and possibly vader. Snow trooper looks to be a pain to gear and even with Tarkins speed lead snow trooper is still too slow.

Tarkin and Snowtrooper are also not farmable...So you get only RG and Veers farmable and they are both hard nodes only

Empire possibly viable with magma trooper?

Magma sounds great and looks as a good pair for Snowtrooper indeed. They need tobe farmable

Empire will be viable when Palpatine is released, not before

No way in the current meta with as hard as speed hits. Going to take more to make theme builds fully viable.

Maybe if factions got bonuses based on number used.

I'd love to do a Empire team but at this point in time Empire seems to be lacking any significant damage dealers and they're not nearly as easy to farm as most Rebel chars. Magmatrooper looks like a great new addition though. Still waiting on the Emperor!
