Hi guys, never looked into imperial troopers, are they worth farming and who are best 5 if the answer is yes ?Thanks

Yes. Veers is necessary with his zeta. Range Trooper is very good. It depends to some extent on what you want them for. Shore, Death, Snow, Storm, Starck are all very useful in certain circumstances. Magma less so but he has his uses too (including in a squad that can defeat Traya).

Imperial troopers are absolutely worth it. They are required for DSTB, and are a solid offensive team for TW/GA. Their mechanic is simple: kill one enemy, and the rest follow quickly. They specialize in demolishing low-health+protection teams quickly, most famously NS. As far as I see it, the essentials are:1) Veers. His leadership is ok (not required), but his unique is what makes the troopers work; whenever you kill an enemy, your entire team gets a massive TM boost.2) Snowtrooper. His unique is a great when combined with Veers for more speed boost.3) Starck. While troopers can work without him, he boosts the damage output significantly.The other options are basically whoever you have available:1) Top options are Deathtrooper (even more damage and keeping enemies dead), Rangetrooper (assist chance and retribution), Shoretrooper (a great tank+healer), and, in some cases, a non-trooper lead; Thrawn works if you expect the enemy to beat your speed (on offense), and Krennic works if you want to send the damage flying through the roof.2) Every other trooper will do fine, but probably worse in most circumstances. Only exception is, when fighting Traya, there's a team that uses Magmatrooper under Thrawn leadership with troopers which is pretty effective counter.

Ideal team for most purposes is probably Veers/Starck/Snow/Range/Shore, but any combo of 5 should work at least decently as long as you have Veers zeta'd. Only exception is that pairing Storm/Shore is redundant and probably doesn't give you enough firepower to keep the turn meter train rolling. I imagine you could probably get away with a no-tank setup and replace Shore with Death or Magma, if they're fast enough.They flatten Nightsisters, which is an otherwise really annoying faction on defense, so they're worth it for that alone.

Depends on how you’re defining work. First 5 waves of DSTB, yes. Garbage teams in TW/GA, yes. Good teams in TW/GA, not likely unless you mod Starck for a lot of speed and it really depends on the faction

Not only are they very effective (one of the few effective teams against Nightsisters), they are also one of the most fun factions to use in the game.

They help with DSTB amen can take out a couple of poorly modded factions in GA/TW or B/C teams.

Best 5 are:
Veers
Starck(fast)
Snow
Range
Storm/Shore

I’m 54 zetas in and 4.75 and still haven’t added a zeta to Veers

You should give them a chance buddy, well geared/modded troopers can take down every BH and NS lineup.

Don't forget that a fact starck can go first and give 20% tm to the rest of the team under veers lead

I have and I’m guessing I have a faster Starck than you(not bragging just have really good mods). A faster Bossk double zetad will wreck that team.

Wow there, your assumptions are hurting my feelings. As the guy below you said, in equal mod situations, bossk will never outspeed starck.

There's always a weak link on a BH team, if you learn how to exploit that to your advantage, you can win any battle

@FerLandrossa Range is supremely underrated.

Along with retribution, and the 50% assist chance, he grants protection up + regular protection recovery on his special (along with retribution).

They completely destroy almost any team I throw them against. In GA they're my "Hmmmm. That might be a tough one" answer, every time.

zVeers - 215 G10 (Speed/Pot)
Starck - 248 G9 (Speed/Health)
Range - 191 G9 (Offense/Tenacity)
Shore - 155 G9 my last 6* (All health)
Snow - 158 G8 (Offense/CC)

Absolutely wreck the DSTB Probe Droid mission, and any other mission in the battle. Rebel Roundup is easier than with higher gear BHs.

Nobody asked but I use, and love, Imp Troopers 1.0 - Veers, Starck, Storm, Magma and Snow.

One day I'd love 2.0 - Veers, Starck, Shore, Range and Snow.

But too much else to farm right now. One day!

I use them for offense and loving them. Thus I will develop Range soon. I guess people are saving DT for other purposes? Should I be gearing up snow or would just DT do?

Yeah, that'll be my first troopers lineup.

Unfortunately they are currently stuck behind my Rebel hero backlog but such is the way of things in Star Wars. :D

Even that squad despite being basic - is effective and a lot of fun!

Yes yes and yes. I like Veers, Range, Storm, Snow, and Death, but you can sub Starck in and out with range and death if you want. My favorite faction in the whole game.

Actually, you can leave shore alone, I've tried both shore and storm many times, but shore is only better in raids it feels, although I do run death as well, so the health steal helps.

I use zeta Veers as leader, snow, death, shore and zeta starck all g12. Never fail a TB mission with them, range can be subbed instead of shore. But never under any circumstances give a zeta to stormtrooper, it's a waste lol
