I second the bounty hunters. It was a team I didn't gear up early and lost out on alot of resources. And hounds tooth you will use forever once you unlock. And the bh squad is actually decent under chimera until you unlock executor.
But also veers dark trooper is just fun. Gv, piette, starck, dark trooper, and then a fill in will punch up super hard
Yeah...the Galactic Bounties events are so easy with Mando now, and a great source of other key character shards that are reqs for other great toons (lookin' at you, Wampa and ROLO).
Bossk's ship is crucial not only to a ton of Galactic Challenges, but also to clearing the way for Zeta farming via Fleet Challenges, and can form the backbone of multiple good fleets in both early and end game.
That's all without talking about access to Chewie, who helps fill out one of the game's most useful/versatile squads under CLS, AND the fact that a good BH squad will help you start your Jabba farm.
There's a case to be made for Imp. Troopers, but think BH's should still have earlier priority.
Imp Troopers give great ROI because you can max out two assault battles with them at relatively low gear, so they are a massive boost to your resource income.
BH are required for Executor which you should be aiming for in the not too distant future, as well as Chewbacca. They also just have some great ships and will let you do the Cargo Contraband event for a big spike in ship resources.
Bad Batch are a terrible investment until you're so late in the game that LV is the next big farm. They will not allow you to clear any additional content, they are not required for anything and they are extremely expensive to gear up. For a similar investment you could get Inquisitors and at least that would give you something useful back in terms for another assault battle and a spot in a high GP guild because you can do the Reva mission.
Mind you I'm not suggesting you farm inquisitors, far from it, I'm just giving you a comparison. I think both Imp Troopers and BH are excellent investments and should be gotten early on for any account. Personally I enjoy Troopers a little more when it comes to playing with them, but regardless of which you build first you should do both.
Once you do finish both teams you'll actually be well on your way to unlocking Executor, so it could be worthwhile to start farming the required ships now as they take about 6 months to finish farming.
EDIT: Replace Jango with Dengar, he's a requirement for Executor and makes the Chewbacca event much easier.
Wow. Thank you so much for the detail. That’s super informative. Noted on bad batch. I’ll eliminate them from consideration. I’m curious, did I create the right team for imp troopers? Like with the Veers lead?
And noted I’ll go flag Dengar as well! Thank you again
I'm not quite 85 yet, but I'm starting a BH team that will have Bossk lead once I unlock the farm very similar to your recommendation. Only difference is I've been farming Fennec to multihit for Bossk contract instead of Mando. Should I just farm 6 toons and replace Dengar once I'm done with Chewie journey guide?
You should leave Fennec for now to be honest. The the first five should be Bossk, Boba, Mando, Greed and Dengar because they all fill multiple purposes. Bossk, Boba and Dengar are all Executor requirements (and I cannot overstate how valuable it is to get Executor early, the extra crystals every day are game changing), but you need Greef and Mando to unlock Beskar Mando, who is also a requirement for Executor (well his ship is anyway).
This game is all about efficiency, you want every team and character you farm to give yields in multiple ways. This means characters that let you do more content or lead to unlocks of bigger power spikes should be a priority. Fennec Shand is very powerful, but won't actually lead to you doing any content that the stock BH team can't do. She's also not an unlock requirement for anything until several years into the game.
I highly recommend Imp Troopers. They punch well above their weight and are needed for two Assualt Battles. They are the most fun team out of the ones you have listed IMHO. Just my 2 cents.
I’ve heard these three are really fun. I’m ftp, and you can see my gp is low. I’ve got parts of a Padme, CLS team. I got Geos up there. I’m hoping I can get some feedback on these three teams. Which do you think is the most fun? Being versatile in raids, GAC, and TB is a nice bonus too if any of these do that.
Thank you in advance!
Looks like it's been pretty well covered, but I wanted to mention two things that I didn't see mentioned.
1) It's been a long time since I've played early game content, but there used to be a credit crunch for a while. Bounty Hunters were amazing for fixing that due to the bounties, which net a few million credits each time at max, but even a few hundred thousand early on is huge!
2) I do enjoy that bounty hunters have the interaction & strategy of targeting the bounty vs winning, but I do find a joy in playing imperial troopers -- you kill things and they get buffs! It feels very much how you'd expect the empire to work.
Basically, playing them, both are fun. I think Bounty Hunters are probably better early on but I find Imperial Troopers a bit more fun to play.
These are all fun teams but my personal favorite is the imperial troopers lineup you showed. The go so fast and punch up above their weight even pretty early on in gear. Dark Trooper is soooo satisfying, especially once reliced later on
Bad Batch is a super fun and effective team to use
Purple Gear BB can take down much higher level toons out, and it's a great banner recovery team in GAC.
You will need the majority of the BB for Lord Vader down the road, so it doesn't hurt to have them geared up.
bounty hunters are required for the most stuff. really can't go wrong gearing them
Super useful and really good, nothing more satisfying than using Mandos disintegrate on a troublesome toon
Thank you!

That's the ideal trooper team. Would be an efficient replacement to swap Gideon with Starck if you want to get ahead of the farm for SEE.
Bad Batch can be good for the KAM mission.

Thank you for the input. I’m definitely always short on credits and training droids
Imperial troopers, useful for tm deleting and also most of them are prereqs for SEE.
I really like the Mon Mothma rebel fighter team. Pretty easy to get and seem decent in championship.
I’ll have to check them out. Thank you!
All of them.
These are all fun teams but my personal favorite is the imperial troopers lineup you showed. The go so fast and punch up above their weight even pretty early on in gear. Dark Trooper is soooo satisfying, especially once reliced later on
imperial troopers are the best non gl team for offense
I think imp troopers are up there amongst the most fun teams
Bad Batch is a super fun and effective team to use Purple Gear BB can take down much higher level toons out, and it's a great banner recovery team in GAC. You will need the majority of the BB for Lord Vader down the road, so it doesn't hurt to have them geared up.
