And I am perfectly okay with this.
Petition to change his basic's name!
Bwahahahahahaha
My time is coming.
Explain? .
Veers omega gives empire allies 30% offence . Only imp troopers gain the TM on gaining buffs .
you can drop an imp trooper for him but that's not worth it as imps have uses ,but this toon would be underutilized there I think
I think it depends if Emperor’s Trap (or Inevitible Failure) count as Buffs. It doesn’t say, but if Trap does that’s a huge amount of TM gain available for Troopers.
That’s what I was referring to. If you look at pietts character description up top it calls Emperor’s trap a buff. That’s basically 10+ turn meter for the whole imp troop team every time one takes a turn
I certainly see what you’re getting at but I don’t think the stormtrooper really works that well with those guys. Plus the whole strat could be easily shut down with daze, shock, or stun. Definitely an interesting combo and try it if you like but idk
Mostly just for fun shenanigans.
Rangetrooper gives Retribution to his allies so synergizes better with those guys IMO. I like Storm on that team. Sounds like fun.
I understood the point just think he will be better utilized with Vader palps .
Even as someone with full G12+ imps and gar I think he will improve them but might be a real important piece to Vader .
Also is the TM gain for stacking buff like HoT never really taken noticed thought it was for unique buffs .
To be honest idk. Imp troop teams don’t use stacking buffs normally. I guess I’ll just run them during the marquee event with piett and see what happens.
I think your theory was right .
The TM gain is good and it looks to be enough to take imps up a rank .
He does make Vader more OP though ,Vader after MM seems good enough already .
