I am building my Imperial Trooper team and am going to be running Veers (L), Starck, Snowtrooper and Deathtrooper, but I can’t decide who I want to farm as my tank. Everyone tells me, “Get Shore, he’s the best.” Whether Shore is better or not, I can’t justify farming him for the next 3 months and paying an absurd amount of crystals along the way when I can just pick up Stormtrooper for next to nothing in the cantina store. Along with Stormtroopers irresistible expose on his basic and defense buff for imperials, he just seems like the way to go. Thoughts?

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.

Storm is a wall hard to kill. Under Thrawn or Zveers he is very good. I use Storm in sith raid in phase 2, he cant die. Shore is not able to survive till enrage but Storm can. 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.@Gawejn It is true based on swgoh.gg stats.Armor is the number yo the rightStorm'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.

I. I’m not sure that the auto-taunt is an enormous leg up, as stormtrooper’s taunt cooldown is 4 and he taunts for 3 turns

The pre taunt means you can get in ahead of the other team. It's very good against a raid Han or a Vader who opens with force crushing culling blade and a glass cannon is dead or assuming troopers is a b squad for tw against a fast Biggs pulling a quick treble attack or any a half dozen scenarios where someone opens strongly.

I’m only building my Imps for DSTB and the sith raid.

hey just curious, but is stormtrooper's unique. giving 30% def to all imperial troopers apply to himself too? So that means in a it team, he has +230% def or it doesn't? Also applies for the +10% health of shoretrooper's unique?

Storm probably ends up with more damage in STR because of expose, which can't be resisted. Defense up is probably better than crit immunity as well.

But, Shore can taunt more often. I don't know if an Emp team will need the heals or not.

I'd say get both, and use Thrawn + Shore in one team and Storm with Emp troopers for DSTB. That's probably more of an endgame goal and there are more important things to tackle first

Yes, all the trooper uniques apply to themselves as well.
