either HY or Wampa, yes

If you haven't started on either, go with HY at this point as the TI boys seem hot about everyone having him.

I run tarkin, and against thrawns I like to have tfp starting, use his special off the bat, my executrix usually goes before their chimaera, and ai chimaera's usually use the aoe move 1st, triggering the tfp foresight and bumping executrix even further ahead. FOTP makes a good 1st reinforcement, auto target lock on current target (usually their biggs), then FOTP special usually kills the enemy biggs.
Starting lineup is biggs, DV, TFP, all g12, executrix g11

I've done well with TFP/FOTP/Biggs as my starters under Thrawn with TAdv, Ghost and Slave 1 as reinforcements. With geared up pilots you have 2-3 chances at a target lock early and Vader's reinforcement with at least one tier of mats on it drops 3 DoTs on the entire enemy fleet which sometimes puts you in a winning position all by itself. Ghost is another great reinforcement since it stalls their damage and lets you stealth Ghost and Vader + deal some good damage and lock/DoT one of their ships.

One of the SWGOH podcasts said that Gamechanger beta accounts are back to 5 hard node attempts a day so it’s now an open question if they’ll be reverted on the live client.

If they upped the drop rate and dropped it to 5, I'd be happy. As it stands I don't get enough energy in a day to do all of the nodes I still need and they're not going to slow down this hard-node only bullshit by a drat sight.

Almost got enough mats for my first zeta. Is there any reason why I shouldn't put it on Emperor's leader ability? My arena team is an empire team (EP, DV, TFP, Thrawn, Tarkin) and I don't have CLS yet.

It feels like I'm getting zeta's more often recently. I had 11 for ages and then I'm up to 17 all of a sudden.

Once I get 20 its going to Palpatine.

Zetas for the Sith raid, by phase, in order of value-ish:

P1:
RJT Lead, BB8 Roll w/ the punches, R2 Number Crunch, R2 Combat Analysis, RJT Insight.

P2:
Hermit Yoda’s prot heal, and that’s about it for most p2 teams. Thrawn lead and Veers if you’re gonna try full troopers, Sabine and Kanan if you’re gonna do full Phoenix, etc., maybe, but for most teams that you’ll actually run you don’t need Zetas.

P3:
Han, Shoots First. That’s all.

P4:
Assam Lead, then unique. Daka Unique if you are using zombie. Then Talzin unique.

There aren’t really many Zetas that are make or break for Sith raid success. It’s much more about gear and having the right squads.

Its not a coincidence that several of those stand out as top zetas overall. It's absolutely not a mistake to get both JTR zetas (virtuous protector not terrible either), both R2 zetas, both BB8 zetas, Raid Han, Veers, and both Asajj zetas

Rey’s requirements are specific, not faction. It’s the Vets, BB8, Finn and Scav.

As for unlocking BB8, I’m sure Kylo unmasked and executioner make it easier I guess.

Yea, I've only got bb8 to 4 or 5 stars so I'll keep farming the excutioner. And I better get working on the Vets then. Though I think we have a few months before those events come back.

Really the only thing I'd look at to improve that team is some kind of reactive tank from your choice of Darth Sion, Sith Trooper, and Shoretrooper. Sion and Shore seem to be the hotness on my shard, so I don't know if Sith Trooper fell out of style or if he just blends in with all the darkside edgelords.

In terms of utility for an EP team, you want Sion > Sith Trooper > probably GK > Shore Trooper. Shore is still a good option versus Nightsisters (for plague). Some people run both Sion and Sith Trooper, or Sion and GK. At the upper end and versus other Sions, Vader can be a liability because he'll open with Crush and feed TM to opposing Nihilus, so two tanks can help there instead.

Sion is really good if you also have Nihilus at a usable state, but I dont know if I would recommend it for newer players, the above team is great for arena and sets you up well for fleet arena. Shoretrooper or sith trooper are good, and shoretrooper at least gets you tie reaper shards as well. The most important thing though is as much speed on your DV as possible.

Reaper isn’t the best ship in the game anymore, but its still top ten; it wins capship races, has a solid reinforce ability, and a fairly good kit (dispel, cooldown increase, offense down, defense/Prot up for an ally)

To unlock Rey (Jedi Training) you require a 7-star BB-8, and to unlock a 7-star BB-8 you require 5 7-star First Order characters.

I've got Vet Han but Chewie is sitting at like 4 or 5 stars so it's not looking good. Took ~2 months for Han? I honestly don't know.
