Snowtrooper anyone used him?

I think some ae team advocates do.

Recently faced 7* gear8 lv70 Snowtrooper in stage 11/12 in GW, but forgot to screencap.
I was so impressed by him. Impressed how slow and useless he was, that is.

When the game keeps trying to force a toon on you - like this guy who appears in every damn drop everywhere.... just walk past to the guys and gals on 2 hard nodes.

He's usefully early on as an AoE. For like 10 minutes...or unless you have Jawa...or pretty much any other AoE...

I've had a one star snowtrooper for months now. Stuck on 9 of 15 shards. Oh well. At some point I might work on him because I like the idea of an empire team. With a Vader lead and boost, he could be decent. His normal shot sometimes triggers an ability block and he has a couple of speed/power boosts. But he's so hard to farm it's not worth it at the moment.

He is great, don't get him!

I have one at *7 and gear 8 and I feel like he has good potential in an empire team. Solid hp's, basic attack and aoe both crit in the 4-5k range and provides turn meter for himself and empire allies on enemy defeats.

I hope to use him in an aoe empire team with Tarkin (L), RG, Vader (I just finally got him to 5 stars with the Yoda event but it remains to been seen if he is viable at that level) and ideally magmatrooper to fill out the roster if and when we are able to star him up...

Maybe by the time the magmatrooper is ready the meta will have changed and this would actually be a viable team for the arena with all the turn meter reduction and boosts, high hp's and strong aoe damage.

I wanted to put him on an Empire team, but since his shards aren't farmable there's really no point. I used him in early game, but he no longer serves a purpose. Too bad because his ability block could be useful.

This. You can't work on him so he becomes useless. Maybe once they unlock the level 8 nodes.... I see there is a place to farm him there. But still... that's a slow farm like FOTP. He does pop up fairly often in shipments and the shard shop.

I have my Vader, I have been bringing RG back to life after he stalled out for a bit. We'll see what Magmatrooper is all about. If he looks good, this may become a project team again.

Thanks. Looking at his stats there is just nothing there with that slow speed, a chance to get offense up on he second turn but by then he would be dead or fight pretty much over. Basic damage definitely seems low for an attacker.

Project 90 looks a little better but still Meh.
