Stormtrooper or Shoretrooper?

Shore. My reasons are:-

1. Auto-taunt to protect other troops.
2. Special gives buffs to everyone. Buffs gives tm to IT. Useful when combined with 3.
3. Can spam his special due to his cooldown reduction when buffs expire, and the plethora of buffs he gains.
4. Well, he *seems* to be tankier than storm.
5. Reaper.

Shore is the better option as already explained above. But slow to farm.. my suggetion farm storm first and work on him, meanwhile u farm shore slowly. They're both annoying tag team dual tank if u put in right team.

Shore. Simple. But Storm is easier to get and farm.

That's how the game works.

Almost everyone would say Shore but Storm is really good in full Empire team. Someone mentioned that Shore has higher armor but it is not true. Storm is a wall hard to kill.

But Shore is also very good, has more abilities for the team like crit imunity and healing. I have both maxed and they serve well in TB. I used them also in Arena mega duu against Rebels.

It is true based on swgoh.gg stats.

Armor is the number yo the right

Storm's unique gives him a huge defense bonus, so while his base armor stat is lower than Shore's, Storm will have more defense than Shore does once he's put into a team of full Empire toons as he gains 40% defense for each living Empire ally.

Go with storm trooper for short term. However I'd recommend slow farming shore trooper's node as it also has tie reaper which is the best ship in the game. Shore is much better than storm but he needs the stars to be usable in TB so in the long run you'll be able to sub out storm for shore.

Absolutely Shore is the better choice. for the reasons listed above.
on point 4. I believe Shore has a higher armor stat, so yes tankier.

His node should also be high on the list of hard nodes you hit for any of the various reasons, guild activities and Daily activities provide.

Dooku_for_days outlined a good plan there, and in the long run you will see how much better shore is overall not just in that team. Also in the end you will have more empire to fill in gaps in 2-3 teams. so its a win win.

Shoretrooper is simply the better of the two tanks. He has the pre-taunt, perma-taunt in the right conditions, team healing, buff spreading, taunt Cd reduction so dispels aren't as big an issue, and most importantly of all: self-healing. In long content you might notice your Stormtrooper getting low on health and having no way to get it back. Shoretrooper isn't like that. His taunt heals himself, yeah, but the important part is his Unique. An Empire team using abilities can get Shore from 1% to 100% incredibly quickly and easily, without you really needing to change your playstyle all that much.

Go for Shore, and use Storm in the meantime, but don't take the mods off Storm. You'll probably want him for your other teams in TB.

Shore is better but I wouldn't rush farm him with crystals. Do his hard node daily. His ship is the best in the game and drops on his hard node so it's really a 2 for 1 farm.

Use storm in the meantime. He can taunt foe another empire team as needed later on too.

Shoretrooper.

I've gotten him you to 88k protection. It's worth the long farm.
