Death Trooper or Shoretrooper??

iMTooGodllly

Since the new legendary event will require Empire toons, I'm willing to spend the necessary crystals to get either Death Trooper or Shoretrooper to 5*. But I'm having a hard time deciding which toon to go for. Who would you recommend both for the event and for the long run?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here are my Empire toons if needed: https://swgoh.gg/u/imtoogodllly/collection/?f=empire

My personal opinion is to go for Shore. Hes great in arena and if empire do get a buff he will be on every empire team due to his pretaunt. You cant go wrong with Shore.

Go for Death trooper because he is farmable. This way you can keep farming and get a 7* r2.
Plus DT with his death mark and cd raise is a cool toon

Go for DT and also gear up ShT

With good protective Mods ShT is completly arena-ready at 3* and gear 11.

Depends. If you have a fast DT, use him for his Deathmark. If low health tea, use ShT
