The main issue will be speed, no doubt, but nothing's saving you from that. Tarkin gets to Offense Down and AoE turn meter removal both in a row. And his Basic is powerful.

true but how good is he if his dead? if you verse danger zone team, they go first and wedge for the insta kill on palpatine and end of battle. Secondly vs clones you got no chance with rex on speed cody will go first with 212 and bye bye. Once again it will be 5-4 in most situations even having RG present wont do much in this case due to the assists

Even if somehow palp goes first gl trying to kill cody before he fires his 212 on him ... with his buff and possible 250% defense increase i dont see how any sith/empire team doing well in arena

What about Ackbar? Tactical Genius, Vaders dots, then Vaders culling blade for the quick kill? AA would be useless.after that though.

Vader would already go immediately thanks to palp lead. No need for ackbar

So, I don't think we are in this thread talking about how Empire is going to dominate, just how to make the "best" Empire team. You are suggesting Poe, and I'm suggesting STH. I think we both know the speed of the Empire is based on the speed of these tanks, and yes, Poe can get faster than STH. So you're not wrong, but no matter what the Empire is going after most other teams.

I'm just confused because with the main 3 guys, and us talking which tank, that still leaves a character and you are saying not Tarkin because he is too slow. They are all too slow and reliant on Poe's or STH's speed.

Perhaps rex... Tmr and squad discipline would be awesome for the team

Vader can go 3 times in a row!

I Think Emporer makes a full empire team very possible for top arena Emperor,Vader,Magma,RG, Then some one for higher Dmg in 5th spot once geared and modded I can see teams like this in top 20 for sure

Been playing around with him in the potency challenges (since he's going to need some work to be arena ready...

I'm liking Palp (L), Vader, RG, Tarkin and Veers quite a bit... Lots of extra turns when using a heavy debuff team and I think once I devote some more resources to them it's going to be a very solid squad

Are you kidding me? Mods can make you respectable with speed and then the TM boost with the emperor at the lead will just be crazy... I assume he will gain the benefits of his own abilities which will make him crazy fast and really nasty to deal with

If I put my old Ben mods on palp, he will have 186 speed and 102 potency. Insane

The team seems a little slow so I'm thinking Palp, Vader, Tarkin, RG, StHan/Phasma. Speed up Han or Phasma enough so that Palp & Vader go early.

This is my initial thoughts as well ;)

Old Ben has already shown us how good STH can be against Offense Down opponents, and Vader can neutralize the threat of a QGJ Humbling Blow if you can get him fast enough. Seems like a fun team!

Did they fix vaders ability block? I have been running him in GW, and he seems to block non jedi very well, but almost never works on a jedi.

... only empire toons gain TM
