JTR core is JTR/R2/bb8
Zfinn core is Finn/Poe/RT/RP

The floaters are scav, holdo, rose, with scav and holdo being best paired with JTR and that kinda just leaves rose, I guess with zfinn.

But also... tons of poo poo works with JTR that isn't resistance.

For TW O, Holdo is better paired with zFinn because she has an aoe daze, which fixes so many problems that comp has.

range trooper is the new hotness for IT, but not farmable yet. DT is useful on other teams as well, so you could do both snow and magma with the others. AFAIK snow is better for pvp and magma is situationally better for raids

Range is still not F2P so he's out for me. But thanks for the tips. I've got DT to 6* but he's a focus of mine so hopefully it will go quickly to 7.

Thinking of going for FOX after DT, already have a decent FO team with a zeta on Kylo. Should I zeta Matt (aka KRU)? Seems like it's almost necessary to get them at all raid ready. Or skip and focus on another team's zeta?

go with storm for your 5th until range is F2P. 2 tanks is quite good and storm is a very easy gear.

There isn't any raid where the zFO team is important.

Imp troops are very mix and match - more than most factions, there very much isn’t The Squad - they have a diverse set of tools and you put together the ones you need for the job. Thrawn + both tanks for defense or protecting a win condition like DT or DN, Magma for killing Sion, Snow for murdering Paper Zombie repeatedly, Shore for healing away plague, etc etc etc.


All of the troopers are good, so which ones you gear up First is all about where and how you want to use them and what you want to accomplish.

Snowtrooper is like 75% of the offense of my Trooper team. He hits for such absurd damage on his AOE and basic it seems wrong to remove him. I'd probably remove all tanks and rely on speed only b/c Veers Starck Snow DT RangeT would probably kill on offense.

I tend not to like him because he just triggers mass counters.

Do you mean the rebel Hoth Scout or Soldier? Or do you mean Imperial Trooper Snowtrooper?

If the former, the last two posts are correct. But given you posted right after some people talking about Snowtrooper in particular and Imperial Troopers In general, if you mean the latter... Snowtrooper owns. He brings a ton of damage and turn meter to Imp. Trooper teams in any environment where you can reliably pick off weak enemies with AoE while slowly softening up a bigger target?

Put another way, you’ll win every fight with Nightsisters using a weak zombie in literally under 30 seconds.

I love how versatile Troopers can be, with a Thrawn, Palp, or Veers lead and how Veers' zeta isn't on his leader box, but his unique so he can support troopers with other leads. Veers and Starck are good bros and I usually run Veers(L), Starck, Storm, Snow, Magma in an all Trooper set-up. DT is more powerful, but I save him for something with Krennic.

Sion g11 was a pain in the rear end. I remember being more annoyed by that than g12, for some reason, though that might have just been my expectations for how long it should take.

There is a FO Red Tie Pilot so that could be released. I bet it has an all red or all white TIE.

My current goal is to complete JTR, CLS and Thrawn, and this is my collection

who should I be focusing on? I've been working on Phoenix for the most part as i'm furthest along in that. I got Thrawn to 5* and he's pretty useful in my Arena team, which is Palps, Vader, Nihilus, Tarkin and Thrawn.

for thrawn this is about what I did it with, I think Ive improved ezra a bit since then

it did take me a few tries and good mods so if you want it to be a bit easier aim for slightly better gear, Ezra is useful in jedi teams, with kanan as a budget jedi tank, so Id focus on those two for extra gear if you do that

For CLS I'd get your Leia and old ben up. You might be able to do it as is with how geared your luke/r2/storm han are but leia and old ben are more useful in other teams than luke and storm han. Definitely dont put anything more into farm luke he's garbage. Old Ben has to do an event stage where he lasts a few rounds against darth vader solo, it isnt super hard but you might want him g9 to be safe

Scav Rey and bb8 are good to get to g12 as they're useful in a bunch of teams, so just gear them up as much as you can and the rjt event will be a breeze. Finn probably g9 or g10, vet han and chewie can be g8 as long as the others are decently geared, from what I understand

What’s the farm time look like for JTR if you have none of the characters needed yet? I just got enough of a First Order team going to get 25 shards of BB8 and will probably have to wait till his event rolls around again.

Awesome. I'll buff up Ezra a bit more along with chop and Zeb. I've been wondering if its worth putting effort into Leia and Ben, so i'll get on that too. And yea I got to a point working on Farmboy Luke that I realized that is as good as he's going to get.

Getting Vet Han and Chewie shards is a sisyphian task.

Months, you need Veteran Han and Veteran Chewbacca for literally one match in the event at 7* and they are only farmable on a 16 energy cantina node. It's one of the dumbest grinds in this game right now.

Finn and Rey are going to take about a month or so each, depending on your luck in the guild store. The Vetbros will take you three months for the two of them. To get First Order you're looking at probably another few months on top of that.

Scav Rey can go pretty fast if you do both hard nodes and use guild currency. Finn only has one hard node, but also shows up in guild store. You can use cantina energy on him but that should be going to veteran han/chewie, which are the worst grinds of the group. Vets are 2-3 months each from 1* to 7* without any cantina energy refreshes or direct store shard purchases, down to a month with three cantina refreshes a day. If you need to farm any FO people with cantina (like kru or FO executioner) tack that time on too.

With no crystals spent and assuming one full FO cantina farm before you start vets I'd say 7+ months. If you can do 3 cantina refreshes a day, maybe 3 months, assuming you can finish Scav Rey and finn alongside FO for bb8, while farming the vets.

Adjust slightly downward for any progress you already have in FO/vets(like having them 3* from events)
