Zeta Empire Leaders

Which Empire leader ability is the best to throw a zeta on? I already have Zader done I was about to do Thrawn since I have him gear 11 and his unique Zeta'Ed. Then I went back and read Krennics leader zeta which is 10% protection recovery for each crit.

    I have yet to drop out of the top 10 with thrawn lead. You also need a fast shore

    I've been parking in 3rd with Tarkin. Your squad doesn't need to be unbeatable just better than whoever is in 4th and 5th.

    Yeah, woke up in 4th today with the shard kraken running Tarkin lead in 1st. 2 other Tarkin leads sprung up too.
  • @ChooChoobacca but relying on DT grenade isn't too much count on rng? I've tried that squad u said, but most of the times, if DT special doesn't work 100%, Tarkin dots will just give Rex TM. Besides even if u block Chirrut and Rex, grenade will probably trigger kenoby taunt, and u will spend some time on him. So what's the trick on running that comp?

    1st Tarkin doesn't trigger TM it's a non damage attack so it can't crit.

    This is what happens

    DT goes first and puts everybody's coold downs to 1 except Baze and anybody who dodges. (Can't be trusted though)

    The other Kenobi will taunt and maybe Chirrut will go.

    Thrawn fractures Kenobi.

    Tarkin debuffs and then does AOE removing TM.

    Kenobi cleanses and gains TM.

    DN tanks Cooldowns agin.

    Kenobi group hugs Rex to death.

    At this point Rex is dead Chaze both have cooldowns at 1 and their GK and DN have CD at 2.

    Exactly as u posted all sequence u need an almost perfect rng. If DT miss to block Rex it's all gone. Tarkin will be useless then and Nihilus will need a dose of good rng to keep going, otherwise match wil be very hard to win.

    As i said, tried that squad many times, u can check my gg timeline at signature, it's too much rng to count to work out. And at defense, shard mates says its easier to beat than Thrawn lead for example.

    That's because most of teams nowadays are Rex lead on my shard, but against Zaul, empire Tarkin just slaughter them.

    My experience is the same as Dumpers. Plenty of Rex still on my shard too. What is the issue? My DT Grenade always takes off Baze taunt and extends a couple of cooldowns. Thrawn and Nihilus don't care if Rex goes with tenacity up or not... enemy will get fractured through it and it gets removed by DN basic. Usually Rex doesn't ever get to put tenacity up, if he does because something blurbed on RNG you still fracture whatever you want (or just GK if he's blinking on taunt, but that's fine right?). Tarkin offense down works through tenacity down. You've got a team that doesn't really care about Rex doing anything.

    This is an experience thing on my side too. I have not lost a fight with this team. Zaul, Zader, rex, Resistance, GK, even Tarkin. All these leads I fight... none can stand up. It's not a huge deal because all the top 10 guys win pretty much all their fights, but I don't see any concerns with rex... your Grenade is fantastic but it doesn't matter if it stuffs up.
  • @ChooChoobacca thanks for the reply! Did u gave his lead a zeta? Been thinking, that expose seems interesting.
  • I've seen both thrawn and zader leads and they work well but you just need the personnel and right acccomanying toons. Each lineup fairs well against different matchups.
