Which empire zeta first?

When you have two great zetas like this, I think you need to ask yourself which would be more fun to play. You need both, you're going to get both, Palp makes marginal characters good (like Tarkin, who AoE debuffs to benefit the whole team) and makes a super cheap toon like TFP a great value (with all those debuffs around, TFP is going to hit hard & often). It's a zeta that makes the team better.

Vader's zeta makes Vader better. But it makes Vader massively better. Massively.

So from a pure power-efficiency standpoint, the zeta order is dependent on your roster and your empire squad. Are you running Tarkin & TFP in your empire squad because you're a newer player & that's what's available?

Or are you a midgame player who just neglected Empire zetas, but you'll be using Thrawn & Imperial Probe?

If you already have the great characters, then you don't need Palp to make them better and Vader can go first. Also, if Vader is relic'd and the rest of the squad is g11 or less, Vader can go first. (or if Vader is g9 & the rest of the team is g7, etc.)

But if you're going to be using starting empire toons like Tarkin & TFP, especially if those toons are geared just as high Vader (or higher, but I hope that isn't the case), then Palp is the more efficient zeta.

But again, all these comments are about your most efficient path to power. Since you're going to be getting the 2nd of these zetas relatively quickly, the order really isn't going to change very many battles' outcomes.

Since you're not going to have a big shift in wins and losses, and since this is a game after all, I still think the better question is, "Which zeta is more fun?"

That's a question you'll have to answer for yourself.

I have neglected my empire team but it isnt purely noob toons. I should have shoretroper at 6* tomorrow. Tarkin is still a big part of my squad. My Vader is fairly weak still. I am thinking palp first to rev up the whole team. I am currently farming for Vader gear. Thank you for your response it gave me good stuff to think about.
