Thrawn Empire Team?

With the Thrawn event coming soon, I want to build a team around Thrawn. I know the best of the best are teams with CLS, GK, etc. But I do not have those characters yet. And Since I am building an Empire team for R2 event, I figured Thrawn with Empires can't be too bad. The Empires I have are:

Palpatine
Magmatrooper
Stormtrooper
TIE Fighter Pilot
Royal Guard
Darth Vader

All about to be 7 stars and I am gearing them up. Any suggestions? Thanks

  • Except Storm, none of what you have are useful. Vader and Palp are not working well in the current meta, one is two weak to get the lead, the other (DV) is countered on his AoE and will not enjoy cleanser.
    Start farming DT. DT is clearly the best of the best in terms of trooper and will have a use in any Empire squads.
    Tarkin is a great chars to use : debuff on rebels, tankier against debuffed ennemies, etc... And can be a great counter to zBarriss as he can stack and hit like a truck.
    Shoretrooper is a great option, hard to get but worthy even at 3*.

    DT is the mvp Trooper no question. Death mark is a tide turner... you can get your opponent from 4 to 3 pretty easily.

    Veers is a longer farm but probably is the most versatile empire support character. He fits into a lot of squads well with Shore, DT and/or Storm. Any time you can get DT to get another double tap on Rebels to daze/stun is a win, and Veers special can bring the pain.

    Moff pairs well with DT and Krennic since his debuffs give both of them damage bonuses.
  • My empire team is Thrawn lead, tarkin, Krennic, Shoretrooper, DT. Pretty tough squad
  • Shoretrooper
    Deathtrooper
    Tarkin
    Krennic

    Are who you want to farm and in that order.

    Nice, how old is your shard ?
  • Thanks for all the feedback. It really helps. And Shore trooper is such a long farm but I know he is one of the best tanks under Thrawn lead. I can try and start farming him. Krennic is also only farmable in 1 hard node, 9-D. so I know that is a really long farm too lol.

    Until I get these long farmed characters, I might have to stick to a Rex L, Baze, Thrawn and 1 other person. But my end goal might be Thrawn, Shoretrooper, Deathtrooper, Krennic, and maybe Tarkin. Thanks so much for the feedback!
  • You can't run a competitive Empire/Thrawn-led team without Shoretrooper. Also at G12 he's a monster.
