How to Counter Darth Revan Teams With Imperial Troopers

To counter Darth Revan teams with Imperial Troopers in Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, you must build a high-speed squad that can outspeed the enemy and establish an uninterrupted turn meter train. The standard counter lineup consists of General Veers (Leader), Admiral Piett, Dark Trooper, Range Trooper, and Moff Gideon. By ensuring your fastest trooper takes the first turn, you can continuously gain turn meter, build stacks of Admiral Piett's "The Emperor's Trap," and defeat the enemy team before they can apply control effects like Fear. ## The Ideal Imperial Trooper Lineup To successfully execute this counter, you need a specific combination of characters to maximize turn meter generation and damage output: * **General Veers (Leader):** His leader ability grants Imperial Troopers turn meter and offense whenever they gain a buff or defeat an enemy. * **Admiral Piett:** His unique ability, "The Emperor's Trap," increases your team's offense and potency every time an ally takes a turn or attacks out of turn. * **Dark Trooper:** The primary damage dealer of the squad. His basic attacks deal massive physical damage, which scales rapidly with Emperor's Trap stacks. * **Range Trooper:** Provides the "Steadfast Retribution" buff, which gives allies a chance to call an assist when using an ability. * **Moff Gideon:** Essential for control. His ability to remove enemy turn meter and grant turn meter to your team helps secure the opening turn.

If Moff Gideon is unavailable, Colonel Starck can serve as an alternative, but Gideon is highly recommended for his superior turn meter control. ## Speed and Modding Requirements The success of this counter depends entirely on turn order. If the enemy Darth Revan or Bastila Shan (Fallen) takes a turn before your troopers, they will apply Fear, shutting down your turn meter train and causing a defeat. * **Outspeed the Enemy:** Your fastest character—usually Moff Gideon or Admiral Piett—must have a higher speed stat than the fastest character on the Darth Revan team. * **Turn Order:** Ideally, Moff Gideon should go first to reset turn meters, followed by Admiral Piett to apply "Imperial Ambition" to Dark Trooper. * **Offense on Dark Trooper:** Mod Dark Trooper for pure offense and physical damage. Because the turn meter train keeps him moving, raw damage is more valuable than speed on this unit.

## Step-by-Step Battle Strategy Once you enter the battle with the speed advantage, follow these steps to secure the win: 1. **Reset Turn Meter:** Use Moff Gideon's "Control Subjugation" to reduce the turn meter of all enemies to zero and boost your own team's turn meter. 2. **Mark Dark Trooper:** Use Admiral Piett's "Imperial Ambition" on Dark Trooper. This calls him to assist and begins building the Emperor's Trap stacks. 3. **Target the Weakest Link:** Focus your attacks on the squishiest enemy unit first, such as HK-47 or Bastila Shan (Fallen). Defeating an enemy triggers Veers' leadership, giving your team a massive turn meter boost. 4. **Manage Darth Malak:** Darth Malak will taunt when an ally falls below specific health thresholds. Save Dark Trooper's high-damage attacks to burst Malak down quickly once you are forced to target him. 5. **Finish Darth Revan:** Once the supporting characters and Malak are defeated, use your accumulated Emperor's Trap stacks to eliminate Darth Revan. ## Crucial Limitations to Keep in Mind

While highly effective, this counter has specific vulnerabilities: * **Pre-Taunting Tanks:** If the Darth Revan team utilizes a pre-taunting tank, it can disrupt your ability to target key threats early. * **Outspeed Risk:** If your mods do not allow you to go first, do not attempt this counter. A single turn from Darth Revan can dismantle the entire trooper squad. * **Malak's Passive Damage:** Darth Malak inflicts Fear on enemies who critically hit him. Keep an eye on your troopers' health and protection levels when attacking him.
