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.

I find the zeta on his lead more useful. It helped me to get some ranks in arena. CLS teams give a lot of debuff and it's everytime a +2% protection, whatever status effect it is. So, when Shore or Storm taunts, with defense up, ...

Hmm. I have a zeta to spend and recently converted to a thrawn, Shore, Death, Zolo, TFP squad which has been doing nicely (quashes most zMaul, CLS, Rex, Jedi comps in my 150-90 arena ranking range). I've been considering pulling thrawn into the mix to maybe replace TFP.

Anyways, glad to hear someone likes the leader zeta. I have read a ton of 'useless' responses on here about it. But I think between the amount of debuffing squads, mild self-buffing from Shore, and thrawn tm swap and cleanse, the leader zeta makes a lot of sense for arena and GW.

I don't have GK, zBarris, viable DN, and no CLS just FYI.

Why would anyone even think of BB8 in an Empire squad? Just saying.

As someone who ran Empire frequently before CLS came along, as much as I love TFP since in the early days he was what helped get me to #1 in arena, he's really squishy and easily wiped out by Zolo nowadays (not like he wasn't already fragile before).

Thrawn, DT, Krennic, Shoretrooper and Stormtrooper are the most durable now .. but agree with others in that Krennic (well, the whole team really) should be g12 and zeta'd accordingly.

the best empire team is Thrawn Tarkin SHT DT BB8

Can someone please post a video of this Thrawn BB8 team in action? I'm very curious.
