Can I please call in the Brains Trust? For my arena squad I want to go full Empire but aren't sure about my 5th. Thrawn, ShoreT, StormT and Tarkin are definite. I was thinking Nihilus because of his dispel on basic and given that the squad is quite tanky, annihilate might come into play. Problem with this the squad looks like it's lacking a bit of punch until annihilate plus I lose some bonuses from StormT. So That leaves Vader and Palp - but he's super squishy and will get whacked by Luke or Raid Han. Another option (albeit non-empire) is zKylo. He brings stun and heal block and hits hard. He would also fit with the protection regeneration that the team is based on.Any thoughts or advice welcome!

I know it's a long farm but that team could use a kren or a dt.

DT is a must with that squad. He is 50% of the damage.

Death Trooper is the longer term plan. Any suggestions based on what I currently have?Thanks!

Until you have a Death trooper, i think Zkylo is a good idea. I am testing Death trooper on galactic war with all the rebel team and he is very powerful.

Thrawn arena team advice please | EA Forums

Palp g12 with health protection should be good.under crit immunity from shore. Also zeta on leader skill Thrawn will be helpfull for prot regeneration. But I think Palp can be also very good as a leader.

^^ thanks. Yes, tempted to level Palps and give him a try.
My guildies have suggested CLS but I'd really like to keep it DS and Empire if possible (but not at the cost of getting whacked around in the arena).

yeah, like everyone has idea that Cls should be everywhere, empire plus Cls Resistance plus Cls, Ewoks plus cls :)...Empire team is very strong team. Double tank with Thrawn lead plus duo death and krenic is amazing on offense. Rebels just cannot go thru tanks with their high dps. CLS most of the fight is fructared. Stealth from R2 is easy to dispell by death. Krenic is imune to crit. Storm is like a wall, can absorb everything. And protection recovery from Thrawn can give like 25-30k to shore. Plus daze/stun from death. Much harder is to fight with sith team than Rebels.

The best Darkside team right now is Thrawn (L) / Deathtrooper / Shoretropper / Krennic / Stormtrooper. Krennic is a pain to farm, but is extremely viable considering he gives DT so much crit damage in the current meta. Only problem is he’s an incredibly long farm and needs to be G12 to work, but when he works he’s amazing. Tarkin is a great replacement in the meantime, but should be swapped out eventually. If you want, check out Boxandthefuzz’s videos on youtube, he wrecks rebels on auto.
