Snowtrooper viable?

Question

I'm building a full Empire team with Palpatine leads (Zader coming soon), followed by Vader, Tarkin, RG and TFP. EP is G10, Vader and TFP are G9 and the others are gear 8. Right now I'm stuck in this gear bottleneck, but I'm not really interested in reaching top spots in Arena yet, just in holding my top 100-200 sport. The thing is, I feel Tarkin is holding my team back. Offense down is good, and the TM reduction procs like 60/100, but after that, he's under-performing in most aspects. So I was wondering if I could use Snowtrooper instead of Tarkin in Arena and still be able to maintain (or hopefully surpass) that spot. I've checked videos and Swgoh.gg, but if someone here has tried him, I'd like to hear their opinion on the matter.
By the way, I was planning on using Boba, but he's not very good at G8. I replaced Tarkin a few days ago and took Boba in, but I lost spots really quickly, so until I figure a better way to farm gear, I'll have him out.

It will work out better for you in the long run.

It will work out better for you in the long run. That's a good alternative. I already have him at G8 and his Deathmark is pretty deadly. Still, I want to know how good or bad is Snowtrooper  Perhaps he's not that viable in raids, but maybe in Arena with Zader. I don't know.

I don't know.Snowtrooper is only good for like two things: the potency mod challenge, and GW if you use Empire. His UA will give tm for defeated enemies, so that helps in GW, but for arena it isn't that great. His only other bonus is ability block on his basic, but Vader already has that.

You could argue his 50% ability block chance on his basic is good as well as his turn meter gain for empire allies when a hit dies but krennic's leader gives an irresistible abilty block on top of other bonuses so now he's useless

I've solo every node with him in my team, even the last nodes where sometimes you have a Zeta leads. I think I might go Sidious instead of Tarkin/Snowtrooper/Death Trooper. That will be a killer team in The Pit. Specially if I zeta him.
