Resistance team without Resistance Trooper

Hello all. Currently ive been working on finishing my Resistance team and have around 150 Finn shards to go. That being said when I was farming them I ignored Resistance Trooper in favor of Rebel Pilot 1, because it was an easier farm and 2, because I didnt realize one was better than the other for this squad. My question while I work on getting trooper is, is there any other toon I can plug in in his place that would work? I know ideally you want to keep it Resistance and I suppose I can run Pilot but everything I read says trooper all day so I was wondering if im better suited to stay pilot or use someone else.

    I won't bother to read. To directly answer your title - No, you can't run a resistance team without the trooper. As of now you can switch between bb-8, pilot and Rey, Trooper is a must.

    Trooper can expose on his basic. Everyone else only does that in their specials. No real replacement. They’d work okay, but not amazing as he makes it work consistently

    The expose on basic is the important point. Even with potency up from BB8 buff you will still run into times when your exposes just don't stick. If that happens and you don't have trooper, you'll be dead or crippled before your stuff comes off CD to get the train rolling again.

    Sorry, but the big three really are irreplaceable. Finn, Poe, Trooper.

    Yes and no. I used pilot rey and R2 in GW until I had trooper ready and they did just fine, they couldn’t clear the whole thing but they left me with enough firepower to finish it off. In the raid trooper is the only reason it works 80% of the time and without him you might as well be running CUP and tusken

    Thanks for the advice, I will just plug pilot in for now and start working on Trooper. It will take a bit but hopefully will be sooner rather than later.

    Doesnt storm trooper expose on basic attack? Look and see who exposes on basic that you have


    Not being resistance means they won't benefit from Finn's zeta and will thus be a weak link. Putting a non-resistance character in a resistance team means that character never gets turns if your resistance is working as it should.

    I agree RT is necessary, but I'm finding BB 8 to irreplaceable on the team as well. I run zFinn, Poe, RT, RP, and BB 8. All at g12 with the exception of RP (g10) and I gotta say to see BB 8 go to work in that mix is a thing of beauty.
