  • Poor stormtrooper. Idk how he will ever get to use his zeta.
  • Sweet. Looks like a fun team
  • @EA_Jesse why didn't Tarkin get a rework?

    Hm. The "imperial trooper" sub faction of the empire faction is kind of like the "Phoenix" of the rebels. I like that their uniques benefit each other but don't require a specific leader.
  • It's good to see these guys all get stronger. Buffing terrible toons is a plus. So I like this. Good job devs.

    That said, I don't think this changes all that much for us that are "end game". Magma Trooper will be a beast in a Vader Pit team. But other than that I don't see a lot of utility in arena or raids here. They get bonuses with Veers for getting buffs but there aren't many opportunities for that. Nothing here makes me wish I had these guys.
  • I approve of all of this. Having Stormtrooper actually function as the anti-STHan makes him genuinely decent (so long as you can mod him enough to let him survive a decent number of attacks).
  • Now to figure out which 4 work best. Or just ignore stormtrooper since he's the lowest geared

    I am not sure how much EHP the 200% defense represents, but that zeta is very useless. Bit if combined with Shore I see a good combo here that can keep him alive. Does he still grants defense up as well when taunting?
    My favorite characters Empire - Sith

    Mmmm, Looks like Magma improvements will make my stubbornness to keep Zader and never zMaul in arena finally pay off!

    He should still be granting Defense Up and be a lot tankier, but he taunts for 3 turns, he's going to die first. If he's not dying first, it means more important characters are dying around him, when as a tank he should be protecting them.

    Do the troopers themselves benefit from their unique gain?
    Ex: does shore get +10% health ?

    don't see why not. magma is getting +100% tenacity

    Where does that come from? 30 from his own unique. 30 from that he grants to imperials. What else?

    I might gear Magma to 11 if the damage increase is significant. With Stormtrooper's zeta it would be funny to see how much damage he'll do by himself and if it might be worth putting all defense mods on him.

    Maybe a double tank with Shore and Storm could work decently.

    I hope so, I'm asking because it reads: imperial troopers allies gain..
    So don't know if a given trooper is considered an ally to himself?

    Effects not applied to self are usually written as each other ally.

    I read it wrong. took the original 60% TM gain, added the new 10% TM, then added the 30% tenacity.
  • @CGkozispoon will the troopers also have some stats changed? like storm?

    Is Magmatrooper going get a bug fix with the update? He still isn't gaining TM when debuffed while already debuffed.
  • Weak... all I can say is weak

    There are 6 options for leader. They are still Empire. I don't know why you would pick Tarkin though

    Not thinking just arena. For example does a Zader benefit from magma in raids?
