Imperial Troopers (IT) was once a great faction to beat Night Sister and Bounty Hunter factions. However, after EA released relic materials, Imperial Troopers became useless since the priority of relic these IT was so low.
EA released Admiral Piett (AP) on August last year which Made IT Great Again! He is like the engine of IT. Also, General Veers, Colonel Starck and AP are part of prerequisites to get Sith Eternal Emperor (SEE). Therefore, if you intend to get SEE, you will also have a good IT faction to use as well.
EA then released Moff Gideon (MG) on December last year. MG makes IT even stronger now. He can reduce damage damage, remove full Turn Meter (TM) and daze opponents. I recently put IT on Grand Arena Championship (GAC) defense and the results were very good as you can see:
I faced couple opponents this week put IT on defense as well. One of them used AP lead and the other one used General Veers lead. Today I want to show you how to use Commander Luke Skywalker (CLS) to get 60 banners against IT.
CLS, Han Solo, Chewbacca (Chewie), C-3PO, Threepio & Chewie (Chewpio) vs General Veers lead IT
CLS, Han Solo, Chewbacca (Chewie), C-3PO, Threepio & Chewie (Chewpio) vs Admiral Piett lead IT
Key strategy:
1. Stun and take out MG first if he is there. His unique ability Know Your Adversaries will inflict Demoralized which will make your characters -50% offense, -25% critical chance, and -25% critical damage. So you need to make sure he doesn't move at all.
2. If MG is not in opponent squad, focus on AP first. AP will always use Suborbital Strike first on you to daze you. You can also see in the second video, my Chewie didn't get Daze because I modded him with 135% tenacity.
3. Once you take out MG and AP. The rest is easy. The entire battle takes around 30 seconds to complete.
Many people are putting CLS on defense and they will have some problems against IT especially with MG in the squad. Using CLS against IT is a stress free and high rewards counter strategy as you can see I got 60 banners in GAC.
May the Force be with you!
