So I have Stormtrooper 7* right now. And he's an alright tank. I'm biased as I unlocked baze my first day and now have Old Ben. Both of them are awesome tanks!My squad isPaloVaderTarkinTFP (soon to be Thrawn as I unlocked him today!!)StormtrooperI know Shore is the usual answer for an empire tank but it's gonna be a long farm to get him. Would you guys use stormtrooper or Sion?

Stick raid han in storms spot. I would disagree somewhat. No tank is good without gear+stars. So that's a meaningless criticism of Sion. But he does need to be high gear, and modded differently if he's low stars. Also running without a taunt in arena is an instant effortless victory for anyone who attacks you. It's better that they fracture your tank than your damage dealers. That's partly why you have a tank.I ran a 4 piece speed set, with a 2 piece defense set on Sion. The defense mods help a little, plus they were the only ones with the correct primary stats, and good speed secondary stats. He needs a bit of extra beef until he is max stars+g12. So besides the speed arrow I put protection on the triangle, plus, and circle. I might go with an offense, or crit damage triangle once he's beefed up, but for now he needs the extra protection.

Get Sion's zeta, makes a world of difference. Stormtrooper vs Sion isn't even a question, that's like asking if you want a 4th grader or Einstein.

Sion and replace TFP with DN. then replace Tarkin with Thrawn.

Since the tank is almost always dispelled or fractured, I've been running without one a lot. Sion isn't very good without high gear and stars. Stick raid han in storms spot.

Most tanks are totally viable at 4* with gear, sion is not.

Empire Tank - Stormtrooper or Sion

He is if he is modded correctly and has a zeta. Especially valuable if you have other members of the Trio.

Not true at all. The day he was released I put him in my area team at 3* g10 and added his zeta and I climbed from top 500 to top 200. Added DN at 4* and moved into top 100. He is extremely viable at low star - he just needs his zeta.

Emp, Vader, Tarkin, Storm, TFP only because you don't have better options. Farm up Sion and DN asap, and keep working on Phoenix so you can get Thrawn (his event is back this weekend).
