@Reo_Speedwagon & @TheChild_eats_eggs1 would you recommend KRU over TFP or Tarkin in an EP, Vader, Thrawn squad? I've been using those 5 imperials but also have a 7* KRU now from farming that I could sub in (likely for TFP as he's my lowest geared of the 5).

Well it depends how you are doing in Arena. Firstly, do you now have MM zeta? If so, under EP L, you will want your Vader to go 1st. In arena, I find Empire a 'low banner' win (ofc no banners in Squad Arena, but there are in GAC). EP, Vader, and Thrawn survive and you can max health on Vader and EP through Sith Health Steal. If you want Vader to go 1st, you want more Empire/Sith units. As soon as you get Palp L zeta, TFP does even more. His buff immunity and tenacity down expiring are helpful for TM gain, giving Vader (and your other toons) more turns. BSF helps if you are thinking of going for DR or have less than 5 farms currently going on normal energy hard nodes.

However, if you want a tank because you find that your toons are dying way too quickly and you aren't getting a chance to completely destroy the enemy, a tank is helpful. Here, shore trooper can come and do both jobs, OR KRU can come and do this job. So, if you need a tank, at your stage with HDB shore trooper is farmable so I would get him. If that isn't possible, use KRU if need-be.

Yeah I have Vader with 1 zeta, about a week away from getting EP zeta on leader. In Arena I was maxing out around 65 each day but today managed to take #50 with less than a minute remaining before payout, so that was nice. I put in Shore for the last battle and managed to pull it off.

Most of the teams ahead of me seem to be Bastilla or JKR led teams, or ones with 2-3 zetas so becoming pretty tough. Have to really check stats before engaging to make sure my Vader can at least go first.

I think I will add Shore into my farming now, but right now my hard node farms are: Bastilla (light),
HT/Jango,Bossk, Sabine, Jolee.

I think for the time being I might remove Jolee and put both Shore and BSF. I need to finish normal Bastilla (70 shards away from 7*) so I can complete GMY, and out the rest of JKR farms on hold to strengthen my empire / sith team while continuing to focus on fleet.

Should also have all characters needed for CLS by end of next week (only Leia remains), then will have to fear them a bit.
