I've got mine to gear 11 level 85, and decent mods. He's sitting at 20k health and 44k protection. Why? It feels weird that he has the stats of a 7* toon. Granted I've modded mine for health and protection, but this still seems high for an attacker. My main question is why wouldn't I use him in an Empire squad for arena? Does the AI not use him right at all? Is there a counter to him that makes him irrelevant that isn't just a generic counter like stuns? Also I'm not intending on getting Krennic that high gear wise but he seems good too so should I start farming Zeta's again for their synergy?

I personally think DK as a leader is probably the better way to set-up his team instead of him being a secondary to Palps or Vader. There are enough empire toons now to make 2 really viable squads, each with their own leaders.
I've been focusing on empire for a while now and set-up my first team in GW with DK (L), DT, Magma, Tarkin and Boba. Once they were done, I switched over to EP (L), Vader, Shore, RG & TFP. I'm working on regular storm trooper, Veers and snow trooper but they aren't viable to me yet to test out under these leaders.
I don't rate Boba at all. He's ok but in the current meta you need to build the squad around him. His Execute was a pain when he first started coming out but now with Krennic lead and DT's Deathmark, Boba hasn't been a problem at all. Also, didn't know if you knew but the Deathmark works like the Pigs's Deathmark, if Boba dies while Deathmark was on him, he doesn't revive. DT is a hard counter to Boba
Do you think the zeta for Krennic would be useful or just kind of icing on the cake? I've considered farming zetas again for another one but I'm not seein any that are just outstanding that would benifit my roster too much. I got Zader because of the raid potential but that took forever
But mine even at 3* has more health and protection than my TFP who is 7*, both gear 11 level 85
Who's DK?
OP - there was a squad with a 3* DT in 1st in arena yesterday.. 2015 shard.. several more rolling top 20.
ah true, but still goes without saying that death trooper would likely be a 5th spot on a palps lead, and even then it's mainly because of his AoE dispell
His weakness is defiantly in his speed. Without zader lead he would never get a turn.
I run Palp lead with Vader, TFP, Shore, and now DT. I haven't dropped lower than 20 since. Plus against Rebels he's always going to double tap on basic for around 8k. His AOE is utility so it's not meant for damage, and his special hit reliably for around 12-17k on mine. His damage is up there at gear 11.
Mines sitting at 173 which is pretty slow compared to other toons but he does get a go with Shore guarding him and Palp stun out of the gate
DK is Krennic, Director Krennic. Not sure if that acronym had been established before but I like it. Reminds me of Donkey Kong
On ur team he might be fine but I'd still take Boba or B2 over him for utility. I'm running Zader, TFP, GK, Palp, Boba and DT would be useless. Don't really want to gear someone I won't 7* for a while.
I like krooper cause it reminds me of koopa troopa from Mario lol
I think so. I'm seeing more and more abilities that are adding protection. 10% protection add on a critical hit for all empire teammates - yeah, I think it's going to help.
Look at Boba and Kylo - some guy posted a video of him soloing GW with just these 2 guys with their zetas. It's nuts - and is going to be the new thing to make your toons as OP as possible.
Yeah but currently farming them is way to long and too costly. As soon as I can get Ships up to scratch to where I can farm that challenge for zetas then I should be able to start amassing zetas like the other ability mats.
I'm in the same boat with the ships challenge but because RNG is my best friend, it will be next year until I can get the ships I need unlocked. But watch out though - I'll be having a maxed out Biggs X-Wing or JC starfighter in no time...
As it was Omega-ed (all enemies cooldowns + 1) it went all downhill for me from there.
zVader with Boba, TFP,EP, and now B2.
Give me B2 everyday over him for debuffs.
His deathmark does work well but someone has to be dead first. Not to mention I already have toons that can deal big damage.
His basic is weak and it can be good against rebels but I'm finding them less and less in the top 10. There is his daze but I have EP's shock.
If I ever run Krennic then I would put him in but for now on my current Empire team, he is by far my weakest link.
But, that's usually not the case. Daze is only 70% chance and can be resisted, which often happens when you need it the most. His basic other than that is mega weak for an attacker. As has been stated he has to survive long enough for an enemy to be killed to benefit from deathmark.
I would say I feel bad for people who spent a ton of cash 7*ing him but I'd be lying.
shhhh
