My arena team is empire and my shard is full of wiggs/chaze, plus a few other factions like empire, sith, FO, BH, droids, and Jedi. October 2016 shard. No GK's but lots of g11 squads and zetas.
I manage to take 1st daily, but chaze can be a real pain sometimes. I haven't started to farm B2, but I have Death Trooper half way to 6 stars and gear 8 currently, I also have a Maul G8 that looks like a good companion for Death Troopers basic ability. Im thinking about focusing gearing him up and putting him on my arena team, or at least a toon to rotate in depending on opponents.
I currently run a Zader lead and my team is as follows:
Zader G11
TFP G11
Shore G 11
EP G11
Boba/Savage G10 depending on opponent
So I'd like to know what the community thinks...is death trooper a good toon? Is his kit good utility against chaze and zKylo and teams who rely on buffs? Is he viable in the short term with lower star and gear levels or do I need to wait till he's maxed to insert him? Is he a permanent addition or just a rotating 5th toon?

I don't use him in my arena team, but he's a major part of the Empire squad I use in GW against rebels. The daze and double shot against rebels is great for preventing Biggs TM gain from Empire damage and the grenade AOE dispel is awesome. Plus, when that ability is maxed out, it will increase cool downs from anyone who isn't buffed. That plus deathmark makes him an essential part of any Empire squad in my book.
As for his viability at lower star levels, it kind of depends on who else you have. Under Palpatine and with Shoretrooper, he gets a good health bonus and seems pretty sturdy.
Also, he's in the cantina battles level 8, which opens up at level 82 I believe. So it's not super hard to max him out, unlike Krennic etc
Even with Zader and Boba and two other toons who can debuff, it's total RNG wether Shore can out last Baze or if wiggs and chirrut can start picking off my toons before baze has enough health worn off to kill with culling blade or execute.
DT and DN under a Zader Lead are a realy good base for an decent arenateam
Got a vid & stats? Sounds like quite the tempting team lol
Should I remove EP? At least against wiggs/chaze EP feels like a weak link. Even if he can outspeed everyone and get good RNG on stunning the whole team, with all the aoe I use, it wears off right away and Biggs is getting off the triple shot.
Don't have a vid. I have some pretty awesome mods. Everybody has at least plus 90 speed but this squad hardly needs any mods. In fact only DN and Rex really need any speed and the thing you will probably be short on is defense primaries.
