Shoretrooper vs Sith Trooper

Empiric1 · March 13, 2018 7:06PM

Only writing this because from reading around it seems people say Sith Trooper is very overrated?

If you were doing an Empire squad like EP, Vader, Tarkin TFP, which would one would you have as your tank ?

DarthMatt2004 · March 13, 2018 7:24PM

Shoretrooper

StarSon · March 13, 2018 7:25PM

Sith Trooper

TheRevanchist127 · March 13, 2018 7:25PM

That’s an Empire based squad, so Shore would be better

after rework, ofc SithTrooper. but ShT is more universal

still confused.. 2 say shore 2 say sith lol. I have both at 4 stars if that helps.

You described an Empire squad that happens to have two Sith. Shoretrooper

Dark_Helmet152 · March 13, 2018 11:06PM

I think ShT is better under EP whether the rest of the squad is sith or empire.

If you are running a classic Nightmare squad, EP, DV, DN, and DS, then Sith Trooper is pretty tough to beat. He buys a lot of time for DS to get his uber special off, and between the two of them, are a tough nut to crack.

Most other situations, namely your proposed team where two of your team don't trigger Sith Trooper's unique to get defense up/taunt/retribution I would say go Shore Trooper.

What level are you?
I’m lvl 75 and have a 4* shore at g7 (almost g8)and a 5* SiT
at g8 . Both very different and viable in arena at low star level when using emp/Vader + whoever else .

Anywho, either way they both are a good choice and interchangeable for me and I hover around 50 in the arena and I’m one of lowest level players in top 50 of my shard with the highest being level 82 as of yesterday .

Shoretrooper. He heals party every other turn so Nightsisters can’t beat you, feeds everyone TM, and Empire characters get more out of EP lead then Sith.

pinkfloyd · March 14, 2018 4:15AM

For your squad? Shore trooper all the way, better for empire because of the TM feed and health recovery. Trust me, I have both fully geared and used them a lot for a long time.

CCyrilS · March 14, 2018 6:40AM

Shore

RacerDejak · March 14, 2018 6:40AM

Obviously shore bcause if u using sith troop, only 2 sith there who sinergize with sith troop.

CCyrilS · March 14, 2018 6:40AM

The real question is shore or gk...

Katzlschwoaf · March 14, 2018 7:01AM

Shoretrooper. You would also need him for your fleet arena.

CHFC22 · March 14, 2018 8:23AM

Shore. Pretaunt protects the glass cannon that is tfp.

Ok so EP, Vader, Tarkin , TFP and Shoretrooper it is, thanks everyone!

Metasly · March 14, 2018 10:31AM

I prefer Shore on offense because he gives 15%TM to EP when he uses his mass stun, and if you also have Thrown, it's 30%, so you get full TM if you only stun 4 enemies. Plus he heals ;-)

I didn't know on defense though as Sith Trooper should be tankier with his 100% defense and protection recovery on special and health steal

Shows what I know. Still probably get him for the heal and crit immunity mind.

I don't have shore, but I recently removed SiT from my nightmare lineup and replaced him with Thrawn. The problem w/ SiT is he just sits there and doesn't do anything. Sure he soaks up damage and counter attacks, but his counter attacks are fairly weak and as soon as he gets hit w/ buff immunity he's useless. He's good for TB and TW squads, but I'm holding much better on Defense in Arena w/o him in my squad. Arena requires a toon who can be a much more active participant.

Goodgil · March 14, 2018 3:53PM

I recently benched my Shore (he's maxed) in my full Empire EP team. Not for SiT - I'm running a lineup with no tanks - but I found out he's not doing much on my team. Defensively, he is just too easy to control if he's a lone tank.

For real - he's annoying at best - but he himself is no real threat. Shore trooper has an actual pre-taunt and a heal - he doesn't hit any harder but it's more of an issue to let him just sit there.

Sith Trooper also has an actual pre-taunt, and an auto taunt (though as mentioned not as useful if you still have CLS on your shard). He is also harder to kill than Shore is because of all the defense.

However, I was unaware of the TM gains Shore provided to Empire, so in that squad Shore is probably better. In my squad (EP DV DN Thrawn SiT) Sith Trooper is much better, but it's more Sith than Empire.

freshprince19888 · March 14, 2018 4:17PM

Slightly off topic, but I run EP Vader Thrawn, and have to choose between TFP and Tarkin for who to drop when I need to get Shore in there.

Mobewan · March 14, 2018 8:39PM

I love how someone mentioned a "classic nightmare squad" as if its been around forever...a bunch of youtubers made up that name like a week ago, and most of them dont really play arena very well.

I like shiretrooper alot more than sith trooper. The heals and crit immunuty and tm gain from shoretrooper are really great, and his special cools down very fast.

But as others have rightly stated, either of them as the sole tank on the team are very easily.

For a sole tank, i find GK to he better by far bcz ofnthe crit immunity he gives allies even when fractured.

2 taunters are the best in my opinion for a palp lead.

Personally, i have just switched to ep, vader, thrawn, shore, gk.

Even though full ds teams have more bonus speed to vader, i havent faced any difficulty.
