KOTOR 1 Revan is a power fantasy. KOTOR 2 Revan is a cypher. KOTOR 2 Revan has some of the best video game writing ever though.

And whoever answered as DN went all mindless/stupid monster. It was like, How does the Dark Side use the same Force as the Light Side? DN: QUESTION STUPID. NIHILUS IS HUNGRY.

Those threads were great. I wonder if theyre archived somewhere.

I use G11 zVeers, G11 Snowtrooper, G10 Deathtrooper, G10 Shoretrooper and G9 Starck. The requirement is 5x5* troopers, and you can get away with Starck at a lower gear level (8 is fine in my experience), but without 7*, G10 minimum on the rest and a zeta on Veers, you're gonna have a hard time.

Troopers are basically mix and match superstars. Your core duo is Veers (zeta is amazing) and Starck. Snowtrooper and Deathtrooper are your hammers - Snow is batshit bonkers incredible for AoE,Deathtrooper turns one dead enemy into two or more dead enemies almost instantly, and adds anti-rebel control, healthsteal, and an AoE dispel/CD increase to the team. Storm and Shore are your tanks. You want at least one. Shore has better taunt uptime, feeds turn meter, and brings a bomb rear end anti nightsister heal. Stormtrooper is harder to kill, removes enemy TM, and does more damage. Using both is v v v valid.

Magmatrooper is handy in a gimmick Sith raid P1 comp, or as a gently caress you to faster Vader squads in EP lead mirror matches, but you can mostly ignore him.

This is a great guide but a little sad because the OP recommends farming Magma and, boy, I kinda wish i hadn’t. Death and Shore are both super late game or cash farms, too ehhh.

Snow, Starck, and Veers are needed in imperial TB I believe, so they’re necessary to farm one day.

Still, troopers is close to nightsisters in terms of synergy; they’re amazing together. Even understarred, undergeared, and underleveled, my Veers/Starck/Snow/Death/Storm comp does ok in GW for one or two nodes.

it recommends farming him because he's the easiest imperial to get and the guide is all about how to farm the legendary good toons as fast as possible. (you need 5 imperials for R2, who you need for CLS).

Yeah, I mean, let me be clear, Magmatrooper is perfectly useful for things like unlocking R2, or, with gear, filling the fifth slot in a TB squad when you want to use DT with Krennic and platoon your Stormtrooper or whatever.

And that P1 Sith raid gimmick that he’s good for is legit AF and can be done around gear 8 or 9 if you mod him right (he wants lots of tenacity)

It’s just... he’s still the leftover trooper that you usually bring along specifically because you can’t bring one of the better ones.

Oh, and one other V V V V V important thing about troopers:

:siren: YOU DON’T NEED TO RUN ALL TROOPERS :siren:

Veers super awesome OP zeta that makes troopers own is on his unique, not his leadership skill. His leadership is fine and aynergizes nicely with Starck to help your troopers go first, and all, but some of the best troopers squads are actually under a Thrawn or Krennic or other powerful empire leader (there’s several great ones).

For example, Thrawn/Krennic/DT/Shore/Storm is one of the best tb defense comps in the game, and will chew up TB nodes like candy. In the Sith raid, Thrawn/Veers/Deathtrooper/ P1: Shore/Magma, P2 Shore/Starck, P3 Starck/Snow is probably the ideal way to run troopers.

Play around with them! They’re a really modular squad, and have zVeers, Will Travel is basically the name of the game.

Some. Others require Veers and Starck or just Veers. It varies.

Also, Troopers are good enough that on days without a Trooper mission, you'll still want to use them to get combat done.

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
Ive always enjoyed Troopers, and Empire in general really, and will get Shore to 7* in a couple of days. All the rest, sans Veers, are at 7* already. (Veers is at a lowly 4*...)
Luckily Veers doesn't seem like the worst farm, statistically 10 shards per day if you use most of your energy and refresh each hard node once. Really tempted to zVeers and go for a Trooper squad. My pilots are all mostly maxed now with a few holes here and there so its time to start building up another squad.

A shame Krennic is one of the worst farms in the game, right up there with Shore. Not sure i have the heart to do another farm like that. I know he pops up in the guild event store, but that currency is already in such short supply and so useful for so many other things.

This + increased currency so you can just ~buy~ carbantis from the guild store.

The way I'm reading this is, in the future all raids will have up to three loot rewards for EVERYONE who participated in the raid:

1 CHANCE at a full raid piece
1 CHANCE at a full raid prototype
1 GUARANTEED raid gear salvage

Salvage is always gonna be raid gear, but the full pieces can be poo poo like carbantis, stun guns, etc.

The higher you score, the more currency/character shards you get.

Mystery boxes at Tier 4 & above have removed all challenge gear and other gear likely to be highly stockpiled by experienced L85 players from the Salvage rewards.
A handful of extremely difficult challenge gear pieces (such as the Mk 3 Carbanti) remain in the chance for fully crafted pieces.

also worth pointing out that ~they're increasing guild shop currency across the board~ so I believe their thinking is for "seasoned players" to use guild currency to buy poo poo like carbantis.

You're saying that like Jyn shows up enough in the guild shop to actually put a dent in my stock pile. Now, if there was a way to convert said currency into EVENT currency, there might be a problem.

I'm not anywhere near that yet, but I feel like a bittervet now. I'm working on getting a Imperial Trooper team together and gearing up EzPz for Arena. Next Zeta is going to go into Veers and the one after that into Starck, I think. Once Matt is done being farmed, I'll do another week of mod farming and then on to Old Han and Chewie so I can get JTR at some point.

I love how QGJ won the last TW. Work kept me from placing any defensive teams, but I threw squads in to attack modes. I had fun trying to figure out how to beat a team with one of my C squads. One of these days, I'm finally going to sit down and figure out what teams work best for which point in HAAT.
