Empire Squad Thoughts

Question

So I wanted input on how you guys would round out a solid Empire team. The only rules are no tournament or pay toons (meaning no Shore).

First group idea is Palp (L), Vader, RG, TFP, B2. Pretty straight forward on why each is there. Any changes you'd make? Obviously not all the toons have to be Empire.

Second group idea is Vader (L with zeta), TFP, Boba, and two of the following EP, RG or B2. Thoughts on this squad are that with the never-ending dots Vader and Boba should have juicy Culling Blade and Execute targets. Now, which two of those three would you bring? I think they all have merits - EP for mass stun and shock, RG for stuns/taunts/slows, and B2 for aoe dispel.

So what are your inputs on each squad and which do you think is the more viable squad in the near future?

My team would definitely be-Palp - As leader for the amazing buffs that all Imp's get Vader - If you dont have him i you're insane. He can potentially attack 3 times in a rowRoyal Guard - Because he is one of the best tank's in the game and he can stunTFP - He hit's like a train and inflicts buff immunity which is like palps shockBoba - Good ol Baeba Fett has had a rework which now makes him VERY viable for the arena. All the debuffs you'll be racking up with the other toons could make him nearly one shot some chars and he also ability blocks. His zeta makes him regen protection on a killing blow with execute (i think)Hopes this helps bro :smile:

If you want to compete for top spots, honestly rebels are far and away the strongest faction and it's not even close. Empire does not have the chops to compete.

I have a team that can beat rebels: droids.  This isn't about getting first, more about putting the best team together for pvp purposes.  Btw, I have wiggs/hando too.

I currently run your first team and have for a while (was Anakin before TFP). It works well enough to stay around top 10 for me.

If you are facing geared and maxed Wiggs with decent mods, not having shore means your emp is a liability and vulnerable. The sad truth is, unless you are outspeeding them or getting a taunt in the way, Wiggs can and will drop your emp before RG can do a thing.
Your Vader team has novelty, which may help you for a few fights, but you need to survive the enemy's alpha strike, and to do so requires really beefy teams or shoretrooper.
I'd recommend if you want to focus on empire, consider finding a way to unlock shore and/or baze to have a pretaunt to cover the emp.
