So there is VaderAnd from Catina Shipments we have StormtrooperFrom GW we have MagnatrooperFor a hard farm there is Royal Guard.So that makes a team of 4.What/who should be the fifth.Grand Moff is impossible to farm right now...perhaps that will change in the future. HAs speed boost as a leader and has a nice AOE attack(offense down)Snowtrooper looks like a fun character, but is super hard to farm with only 1 locationAnd General Veers...same as above.So who should be the fifth?????

Farming ability aside I think Tarkin, Royal Guard, Vader, MagTroop, and I guess Snowtrooper. I really feel like Empire is missing one or two characters from really being good. Snowtrooper and Veers both get a nice speed boost from Tarkin and they both gain turn meter on an opponent toon's death, so potentially you could get a downhill snowball effect where they just build steam. RG's stun... Maybe. But then there's the whole farming thing, how do you get Tarkin and SnowTrooper up? LOL

I have Moff, RG, Snowtrooper all at 7*. Vader at 5* and working on Magmatrooper. I basically only played this game for an Empire team. Can't wait to have it complete, but will leave Stormtrooper 'til last

yeah, I had vader listed in there as a lead, I figured that goes without saying. But GMT gives a big speed boost if he becomes farmable.VaderStormRGMagmaWHole lot of tanky, taunting AOE damage to add to Vaders own AOE and Culling blade, and teams could be beat down in a big hurry. Especially if Tarkin becomes farmable as the Lead with speed IMO

I've been working on an empire team as well... Tarkin (L), RG, Vader and magma... I just swapped out my snowtrooper for the Tusken shaman and he has a really nice synergy and gives an empire team a solid healer option.Even with my Vader and magma at only 5 stars this group can still compete in the top 10 on my server and does surprisingly well when I run them instead of the standard Dooku or QGJ lead team. I think I may focus on this group initially with the upcoming level increase and combat changes and see how they fare.

I think Vader is better as lead. +27% offense is huge. And the chance to reduce turn meter on any attack? Awesome. Just check how many Empire units that have AOE attacks.

That makes sense. I was just thinking that Tarkin's speed boost may have been better but I can see your point. They're a cool team.

Does Ackbar really screw that team-up by removing debuffs? My primary interest is Jedi teams but I have enough toons to start working on a secondary Empire or Rebel team, not sure what direction I want to go.

Wish I had any solid advice for ya. Ackbar is one of the extremely few toons I haven't unlocked yet or even tried out. From sheer theory crafting, I'd say an Empire team could make sense since they're all reasonably tanky (and RG gives a huge HP bonus to them with Phalanx skill). Problem is of course that Vader can't feasibly be obtained at higher than 5* anytime before summer at least. Rebels would at least be much easier to get.

Hopefully they put Aayla in GW shipments so I don't have to think about this decision. LOL

@ Tromedlov Indeed Yoda is an Empire killer. But I think most of us have 1,2 or even 3 teams we COULD use. Rock, paper, scissors then. Don't run Empire vs yoda but man it could own glass cannon teams with little synergy, no? Ahhhh, all speculation.

@Jabberwocky
Trade ya a 3 star 86 and a 2 star Ugnaught for your trooper. Lol

My 86 is maxxed and I keep my Ugnaught for easy gear slot fills to complete daily achievements, sorry.

Lobot is Rebel too, with Akbar lead and two toons with dispel, it would render Vader and other Empire debuffers an advantage.

This is why I have given up on spending any arena and only am spending only spending 800 per day of my GW token (even though the overused Sid and Phasma on my bench are not 7*)

I really hope that Aayla (my daughters name in real life) becomes available on one of these shipments so I can get her

It's fun. I use it for a few rounds of GW just for the heck of it. Not anywhere near my A team though.

At 7* they would be a team that would take ALOT of hits to put down though.
