Imperial trooper squad

Veers, Shore, Death are the must be-s. Stark is cuz event. I'd throw in Storm at that point, unless you really want Snow's 20% crit damage or TM on kill

Note- I don't speak from experience, just what I've seen and heard.

So with dark side territory battles launching I now have a reason to build up more dark side characters and they're lacking. As soon as my thrawn is done I was going to focus on troopers next since they're a requirement. With the new colonel being required as well i might as well throw him in the squad but who else would be a must for this line up. Veers, shore, death and snow? Any input?

I play Imperial Troopers: zVeers, Storm, Shore, Death and Snow. They are fun and the list of bonus stats is long:

+ 20 speed
+ 10% max health
+ 10% health gain from damage
+ 30% defense
+ 20% critical damage
+ 30% attack
+ 15% critical chance
+ 65% turn meter after killing one opponent (Snow gets 80%)
+ Offense up buff after killing one opponent
+ regenrate 10% protection after killing one opponent
+ get 10% turn meter for every buff

I dont know how Starck fits into this team. On paper his kit does not read like a substantial improvement to the Troopers.

And how is veers zeta in a trooper line up?

Try him w/o zeta first.. and it's only getting better

I wasn't planning on giving him it if I can get by without it. My veers is a long way from a zeta. All of these guys need geared and leveled and most of them need starred up more

Zeta on Veers will really help in that hard TB. Protection recovery is very useful. Don't use 2 tanks, keep one for another team, this is what I do. I usually use Storm with troopers and ShT with another Empire team.
zVeers, Snow, Storm, DT and Magma works well. I'll replace Magma by Stark as soon as it's possible.

My experience from my g8-10 trooper squad with zveers is that its situational, sure when there is lots of small fry to kill then you do great but the second you cannot kill anything directly your team stalls, it is built soly on getting the first kill to get the machine roling (aka tm gain, deathmark, prot back).

In pvp this means a strong defensive team will own you, a balanced team with equal gear will most likely win. On raids the team is useless on rancor, preforms badly on phase 1 on aat but great on 2 and 4 and decent on 3.

In tb its hard to tell but in phase 1 my trooper squad was the only one that made stag 4.

I run zveers, dt,shore (both are a must), snow and magma. I most likely will switch out magma for the colonel when i can.

I still feel like Thrawn is the superior trooper commander. Yeah, Zeta Veers is okay for them, but even without the stat-boosts, Thrawn Zeta is still way better.(especially with ShT). Thrawn lead with DT, ShT, ST and Veers/Tarkin/Krennic is definitely a thing.

For DS TB I could see getting Veers up just so you have a separate commander that's worth a damn and can really push the special event. Just don't expect him to be useful for too much else.

The Colonel seems pretty trashy. If his basic wasn't garbage and/or his wavelengths special just straight up gave him 100% tm, he might be okay. He just seems worse than just running say, magma trooper or something.

Spot on. +1

For dstb, here is your best trooper setup:

zVeers, shore, storm, snow and starck. This team is flat out awesome. The 2 buffs from starck has great synergy with veers's lead and guaranteeing crits for snow to pretty much endlessly aoe. This setup allows dt to pair with krennic in a different squad to have another mighty group.
