https://youtu.be/xI28ibsFscIWelcome back to another Episode Of SWGOHToday I review the Zeta Grand Moff Tarkin!As always I am up for some comedy so made a little opening on some things that have happened in SWGOH of recent hope you enjoy it ;)A quick summaryTarkin has been a very difficult character to review and has took me a few attempts to get to where we are now.Increased Base Character SpeedBetter Reinforcement BuffPotency stacks bug defense increaseCapable of hitting some huge numbers whenStackedGreat for Rancor RaidNot worth the Zeta as it does nothing much compare to what he can already do.Great reworkIf you enjoyed video please leave a LIKE and Subscribe for more contentWhat is your thoughts on him do you agree or do you see him differently?

In general: Tarkin: good His zeta: bad.

Tarkin was basically made for Rex heavy shards. He makes empire fast enough to get the jump on Rex but there are faster comps out their that he will need to deal with once Rex comes back down to earth.

Would love to see him under a Gar Saxon lead. Other than that, hero seems too high a rank for him.

Great video as always @Smithie !I personally went ahead and put a Zeta on his unique.Reason being that he is quite squishy and in arena, there isn't time to build up is potency from his basic.Getting his defense up as quickly as possible is crucial which is why I have been running him with Zader. Once Vader gets off his Force Choke, it is guaranteed tankiness for Tarkin until Vader gets taken out.It isn't necessary no, but in arena, Empire needs all the help they can get.I don't have the right toons maxed to try running Tarkin as a leader yet but I would agree that his leader Zeta is more or less useless.

Now that it's been some time, are you regretting zeta on his unique? I have a zeta and not sure who to put it on. I run zader lead with a fast zid who normally opens first and DoTs everyone.

I'm leaning towards tarkin, which would then give me a comp of zader, zid, zavage, zarkin and palpatine...

I should note that I have a resistance team with zFinn, so was thinking of even putting zeta on Rey, but not sure that's a good idea.

I'm not exaggerating here in the least -- Most recent Rancor Raid, I have Zeta'd Tarkin's special, counted up to 60 consecutive basic attacks -- six-zero -- and I don't see any difference in damage than what he was doing pre-Zeta. I feel filthy, what am I doing wrong here? (fwiw, Gear XI, over 85% Potency)

I'm going to continue test-driving here (what other choice do I have?) but so far, I feel like this was the worst decision I ever made with this game. Awful. Save your Zetas people.

His Unique after Zeta only gives you extra 20% Potency since there's only 1 debuffed enemy (Rancor). You're not going to get much extra damage out of that.

This. This is why his zeta should be better in arena or AAT P3 maybe.
