Zeta Empire Leaders

I run Tarkin zeta lead that rocks with fast DT, Thrawn, GK and Nihilus.

zVader can do raids and arena. It seems Thrawn is also good as leader but better as support. I personnally like Krennic's lead associated with Imperial troopers.
zVeers is also fun in AAT and GW.

Yeah, Krennic is a bit better if you have him starred and geared. He isn't as stupid on defense as Thrawn, and with eg. Veers zeta unique he is awesome. Also with Thrawn because of the AB.

Yeah I don't have KRENNIC geared or starred or veers so the time I have them ready to go I'll have another zeta ready to go so I'll prob double zeta Thrawn then. Go all all in on him.

Yeah, I did the same. Zetad Thrawn's lead, and I'm collecting for Krennic atm. Thrawn isn't bad, either, it's just his defense. I went against another Thrawn lead, just to check, and they were all cleansing even if they didn't have any debuffs.

You know I was close to zeta'ing Thrawn lead but now I'm glad I didn't; going to double zeta Tarkin and use his lead with the fastest Death, DN, Thrawn I can muster with Shore. That is really the top squad as it'll hold better on D. Can't give the AI the chance to always be cleansing.

Yeah, that is the only problem with Thrawn lead.
But my question is: was zetaing Tarkin lead useful? I don't think it would add *that* much difference like a zeta adds to other leaders / toons. Could you comment if it was worth it? (I don't know if you already zetad him or just will do so, but please answer after you did, I'm really curious...)

Yeah I did zeta his lead and it's awesome recovering protection for any lead but especially for it being gaining and losing any status effect. I thought the protection regen was tied to only negative effects. I'm going to try it in HAAT tonight but 24 GW nodes went quick with his lead.

I'm gonna zeta thrawn lead tomorrow rng willing. Really looking forward to the protection gain considering how many folks have debuffs, and you get some for cleansing. Most empire characters already have great protection as well.

Thrawn lead head to head absolutely destroys a Tarkin debuff squad. It's a joke.

I was sitting on zetas for a while and finally have gone in with Zzarkin. I will say he lives longer into battles but can't tell defensively yet if it's paying off.

The expose on a all/mostly empire team is really nice. Especially to get that first character down so it opens up DTs unique.

I'll update as I see how defensively it holds over the holiday.
