P3 Chirpatine PSA
PSA: EP change has shifted my P3 strategy/team and wanted to pass this along just as FYI for any who might experience this. My HAAT P3 Chirpatine team included RG, STHan and Poe. I would taunt with STHan to start off and save Poe's taunt for when STHan was nearly dead, then hit auto/basic and sit back and let RNG deliver my final score (typically between 600k-800k, I'm not working towards getting it higher, employing the "good enough" strategy). With the change to EP (end of his turn shock damage), any exposed adds at zero health were killed off, throwing a wrench in the chirpatine strategy, which I noticed with a BOOM of the tanks main cannon and my inability to employ cat-like reflexes to grab my device quick enough to stop the words DEFEAT popping up on my screen before I knew what was happening. Lesson learned! No more Poe, or, taunt much earlier. Probably switching him out for Sun Fac.

Shore is a perfect fit, great advice for sure. I'll (slowly) work that direction (add him to the long list of things I need to farm! Lol) Thank you.
For the most part, yes I believe so. As my guild handles HAAT just fine, any damage I do in P3 will be fine. However I think Snakes strategy is the best solution if one wants to try to increase their scores.
Mainly I'm just hopeful someone working towards a chirpatine team sees/searches here and adjusts their Poe strategy. (Edit to add) After this happened to me last night, I came here for a search and didn't see anything, so just wanted to try and help anyone out.
It's exactly what you stated. That Unique wasn't removing TM previously.
Nothing. There's another thread this morning where the OP is talking about this and a Zader lead.
Chirpa (L), Palp, Stormtrooper, RG, (Shore/StHan)?
@MastersRising
I believe that since the end of EP's turn now registers as an attack to work with zader (L) for TM removal, it also does the same, activating expose on any of the droids that have both shock/expose. This affected my P3 because all the droids had shock, a few got exposed by Poe, and none had health left. So the expose killed them with EP's next attack on B2. This then leads to EP not getting 100% TM, and the tank gun getting TM. Both things chirpatine is designed to avoid.
Hope that clarifies it. Let me know if not.
Also sun fac counters and gives crit damage down and dispels offense up. Only down side with him is you need to time the taunt perfectly else he may lose it (he gets TM when countering from Chirpa so taunt can expire).
RG, Storm and Shore would be optimal. That way theres 4 empire toons and Chirpa which would give Storm +160% Defense. He wouldn't have quite as much protection and health, but that extra defense might be able make him last longer than Sun Fac? Certainly longer than STHan.
For me, this is future talk. 7* Shore is still a long way off in the distance. Thanks for getting me thinking though!
Now I need another credit heist to level up my 7* Stormtrooper... lol
I get decent results out of him as I don't pop his taunt until the battle is nearing its end and StHan is dead. At a certain point all the droids are near death and multiple have a triangle up so you might as well clear the decks anyways.
The support droids won't take turns if you use zvader (before the first fix and after the most recent fix) or dathcha as leader.
Plus the 30% trooper bonus, so 190%, and shore would get 30.
That's with fairly slow mods. TFP is the fastest with 205.
I got tired of changing mods just for P3 so have some slow but tanky mods with lots of crit damage on TFP. He does the lion share of the damage.
Granted, using Teebo is much more RNG dependent. More stealth = less counterattacks so my tanks live longer.
Is there a reason I should farm Chief Chirpa for P3 in place of Teebo? I feel the difference in damage would be minimal.
