Who to zeta first - Thrawn or Veers?

I'm about to get my first full zeta, and I'm struggling between Veers and Thrawn's Ebb and Flow.
Who should I choose and why?

    Get thrawn lead...
    If your zetaing veers, it means your probably running a mostly empire squad

    Thrawn's ebb and flow makes him modular, but the 2% protection gain is huge, trust me...

    Think, shoretrooper can gain 2-4% protection, veers will give offense up and other buffs which contribute to the fire... snowtrooper is nessesary for his ability block

    With veers, your limited to running an imperial trooper squad... with thrawn you aren't

    That's actually not a bad idea, either... I was thinking about putting someone else to the leader position, but I'll think it through.
    And yes, I'm running a pure Empire team, I have everyone except Shore... but I'm working on him as well.

    Veers because Thrawn lead AI sucks on defense


    Haha yes, I've heard so... :lol:

    Wouldn't Thrawn's leadership benefit even greater with a zeta on Veers unique since it would guarantee an additional 2-4% in protection for every enemy defeated (through Offense up) plus a guaranteed 50% turn meter and an additional 10% of protection? If the protection gain is a truly huge deal, than putting a zeta on Veers' unique would help Thrawn's leadership distribute an additional 12-14% in protection for each enemy defeated.

    Does anyone know if turn meter gained from Thrawn's leadership (bonus turn meter on Specials) counts as status effects gained or lost? I feel like removing or gaining turn meter could be considered a change to ones status. If you look at the wording, devs seem deliberate in using very different verbiage between turn meter gain (...resist detrimental effects and suffer debuffs) and protection gain (...gains or loses status effect) If so, then yes Thrawn's leadership in providing protection is truly bonkers.


    You see, they say status effect...
    but turn meter would not be an effect IMO

    However, I will test it out and get back to you when I get 2 more zetas... I can get them by tommorow but the mk 3 ability mats will be hard (15 more neeeded)

    Gonna test out his leader by Zetaing thrawn's leadership as my FIRST EVER zeta... yeah I'm pretty excited too

    Good job! And definitely come back when you see how he is working out.
