What empire players should put in the SC for defense

[Plagueis]

Hunter rancor. Makes an opponent wonder if they should waste fangs or not to stop it. Super slow makes it tough to lure. Less fangs against GR is a good thing.

[RedWing]

Jumpers with the corresponding armor suit (desert, forrest, ice). Hands down.

[Plagueis]

Jumpers with the corresponding armor suit (desert, forrest, ice). Hands down.

Unless an attacker brings x-wings/tie fighters. Jumps tend to stack very tightly.

I ran into buffed jumpers yesterday. I trapped them with Vader, then killed them with my own buffed jumpers. They died fast.

[Shelendil]

And are invulnerable to air strikes.

Could've sworn tie fighters could tag those guys. I could be wrong I guess. Hard to say when the rest of my troops are burning SC troops as well.

None of the starship attacks can damage flying infantry like jumps.

The (starships) from traps do effect Jumps, as follows:

IDT traps treat Jumps same as non-flier troops.

Other traps are not triggered by Jumps, but can be triggered by ground troops, and any Jumps in effect area will be affected.

TIE Fighter and Striker traps will do 100% spash damage depending on their location within area of effect, while Jumps will only receive 50% damage when caught within a ground triggered TIE Bomber traps.

Would love to see some updated feedback on the best imperial mixes. Especially dealing with Rebel jumpers. I'm thinking a couple snipers with rodians buff, a probe droid and bikes could still be the most effective mix.

I'd love to get some upper level feedback!

Snipers are great, but can be bombed. Buff jumps are great but if sc is sniped, look out. I like all snipes under shields.

[Boog]

I feel like I've tried it all, and buffed snipes works best. That doesn't mean I don't get wiped clean 25% of the time, but I get more positive results with four rodians in the SC (lvl8). Regular speeders barely get a shot off against jet hords, and the few times I tried avas (lvl 8), they did kill maybe two jets, but the 14 remaining finished me quickly enough. You really need to outrange jets. Bikes get in range of them, and really stand no chance.
