Best Dark Side Team For Beginners?
Hey guys, I'm level 71 but I've just sort of been cruising through at the moment but now im starting to build some teams properly rather than just heroes I like etc. Im working on Phoenix squad for my light side/GW etc but not sure what the best dark side team to build is? Im thinking Empire because it would help me with R2 etc when my team is good enough. Is this a good idea or is there a better team I should be building? I have a few fairly high dark side heroes already (Boba/DS/Vader)
This is what I have at the moment to see who I have and what level etc

Thrawn
Palpitine (L)
Vader
Tie Pilot/Magmatrooper
Royal Guard
It seems consistant and kinda easy to start farming
And then run Palp (lead), Vader, RG, TFP and Snowtrooper.
With the toons he has, he might get 5* palp and thrawn. You should do everything in your power to get 5 Phoenix characters to 5* by June 18th (last day of the Palpatine event). Palpatine is one of the top 5 characters in the entire game. Thrawn is one of the top 10 characters in the game so doing that will get you both of them.
With your toons, once you get them, palp, thrawn, Vader, ds (since op has him at 6*) and enfys nest (whom they have at 4* if you are using the team in arena) OR Boba Fett (whom they have at 6*) until you get someone like tarkin or tfp powerful enough for synergy. Or you could build your dooku up from 3 star. But neither dooku or sideous are top flight characters, however they get synergy from Palpatine lead so work on that team.
What is your goal of this Darkside squad? Arena? Dark side battles? Something to run on ds tb? All of the above?
And I think royal guard would be a waste to farm as well. He isn't that great of a toon long term. Tfp is a good investment and Snowtrooper for an eventual Trooper team
If we trust the gamechangers /CubsFanhan, thrawn is #1 and Palpatine is #9 for best characters in the game. So I stand corrected (maybe)...
EP (Lead)
Vader
Thrawn
Tarkin
5th spot got some choices:
TFP (good chocie especially because hes a pilot aswell - so u need to push him anyways)
Royal Guard (Tank)
Darth Sion/Shoretrooper (both really hard to get)
and of course Darth Nihilus.
But these guys take some time to get - so you should probably focus on the TFP.
"Beginner" is the keyword in the thread title.
Agreed - Royal Guard is next to useless long term. But he is a reilable and dependable tank for most beginner Empire Squads.
Op is level 71. Royal guard is useless for level 71 player. Level 20 player, sure, use royal guard, but farm better toons.
Yes, a beginner.
tarkin can remove enemy TM and can debuff, which grants your team TM under palp lead. TFP does additional damage to debuffed enemies, debuffs on crit, and debuffs on his special. The effects of this TM cannot be over stated- when going against another empire team of the same characters, if I have more speed on vader than the enemy team has, then I am getting in multiple attacks and taking out 2-3 of their characters before they can even get a single attack in. Normally it flows something like this-
Vader AOE
automatic 100% TM refresh on vader
Vader culling blade
everyone but tarkin has 100% TM
thrawn grants TM to tarkin
tarkin debuff
automatic 100% TM refresh on tarkin
tarkin aoe (removes enemy TM)
palp aoe stun
TFP aoe
automatic 100% TM refresh on TFP
TFP normal attack
thrawn stun locks whoever
vader normal attack
palp normal attack
TFP normal attack
tarkin normal attack
enemy attacks
its savage to watch, and even more savage when i forget to check enemy speed before attacking and they end up having more- I don't get a turn until I'm down to 2 characters normally
Tarkin is moff. I mentioned him as did a few others
Doesn't change my comment that RG is not useful at lvl 71 for his farm
First order team which is easy to get with FTP
Kylo Unmasked, Kylo ren, FOExecutioner, FOOfficer, and FOTie Pilot (or phasma)
Empire:
veers, range trooper, storm trooper, snow trooper, and magma trooper
Vader, tarkin, storm trooper, palpatine (lead), and tie pilot
Interesting that you didn't include Colonel Starck--do you think he would be any good for an imperial trooper team?
Is storm trooper still better than range trooper?
They do different roles..... On that team storm is better.... Besides, you would have to pay to get range to a decent level right now....
Since FO Executioner and Emo Kylo are both in Cantina I'd recommend ignoring the executioner until later (even though I hear he's the best part of FO once you've maxed your team). My squad is Kylo x2, Phasma, FOO, and the SF Tie Pilot at level 69.
If you put everything you've got into Emo Kylo he can even hold off weaker teams in Arena single-handedly, negating the big drawback of FO being weak on defense. Same in fleet arena - his ship is a nice one to max first, especially if you pair him with a couple ships that can call him in to assist. Running him, SF Tie fighter, and Jedi Consular lets you stun all 3 ships right away!
What's your average ranking in-game for arena and ships arena?
I've recently created a new acc and currently doing the basic cliche Phoenix farm.
Recently reached lvl 42 and whilst I'm enjoying the fresh start, I somehow want to give a new faction a try. Would it be wise to then invest in FO from this point on? My plan if I do is to push my phoenix alongside farming KRU and the others then somehow put them in about lvl 50 or so as my main.
(Considered this too to sway away from the empire teams and push through with FO then BB8 and so on)
Thoughts, Sir?
