Who to Zeta next?

I'm a newer player, started about 4 months ago but have climbed pretty fast (just today hit rank 7 in my arena shard). My go to arena team is pretty unorthodox: zPalp lead, Vader, Thrawn, Boba and KRU. My shard is currently full of a combination of nightmare squads, empire, jedi and nightsisters. which zeta would be most useful to me for arena?

Palp unique, thrawn unique, and vader unique are looking like my top choices right now.

My fleet generally does quite well so I don't think I'll need the extra boost from zeta-ing vader, so fleet benefits aside which would be most helpful. Thank you in advance for any help and advice

  • For arena, KRU unique would prevent EP being nuked at the start... But would be a waste once you have Sion/DN as his leader skill is much better in an FO squad vs his unique being mainly an arena skill.
  • Thrawn’s unique is much better choice than Vader’s unique and Unmasked’s Unique.

    Actually, if you consider zeta for KRU, his leadership should be first. His zeta leadership is really amazing. But his unique... is soso I guess. His damage is not big, so 100% counterattack...is not really good by 20 zeta mats.

    Don’t you have sion? 3 star sion could be better than 7 star KRU under Palp Lead.
    Gear up Sion and zeta on him. His zeta makes his own buff cooltime much lower.
  • The benefit to 100% counter on KRU while taunting is that everyone who attacks him ends up with un-resistable tenacity down. Fantastic against Bastila or in raids.

    However; Palpatine unique makes him far less squishy and Thrawn unique is way better in arena than Vader's. Vader is already healing under a Palpatine lead so he only really needs the unique Zeta if he's under a different leader or the leader himself (Rancor raid etc).

    Thrawn is awesome as it keeps the fractured enemy fractured longer when you run Empire toons.
