Do BB-8 & BB-9E Need A Buff?

Hi,

I've noticed that BB-8 and BB-9E are being easily defeated, especially against heroes and villains who only need around 3 lightsaber strikes and that's it. The developers should have realised that their unable to block, therefore leaving them very exposed. Image if heroes and villains weren't able to block - how long do you think you would last?

Have your say...

  • Hey, blaster heroes can't block.

    Do they need buffed too?

    Just because they suck in Heroes vs Villains doesn't mean they're useless. They rock in Supremacy and Co-Op.

  •  they're just useful enough, their speed allows them to get away easy.  The meat of the game is GA and CS, in those modes they're fine.... if anything I would consider making they're permanent cost 3500 and not count on Hero cap

  • Hello there! 🙌

    What I want to see is, jump a little higher.

    Now they can't climb a box/wall which troopers can easily pass. 🤭

    (I might miss something...)

    Their abilities are quite good! 😃

  • Hi,

    @Kanrei13 

    When I wrote this topic I was mostly referring to heroes vs villains - maybe I should have mentioned that. At the moment it's pointless in playing the BB's on heroes vs villains, unless your team are winning by a large margin, then you can mess about with them for a while.   

    The developers need to input a code that will reduce light-saber damage when attacking the BB's only. 

    As for blasters, that's a whole new topic for another time. Blasters have the ability to fire which takes away lot's of stamina, they also have the ability to roll and evade heroes or villains and if timed correctly, you can take out the hero or villain. The majority of the time, their useless in enemy group situations.

    I never said the BB's were useless... It all depends on how you play the game. If your rolling round the map and defeating enemy's on one on one situations, acquiring bot spawn kills, avoiding heroes or villains and vehicles, then yeah, I'm sure they can be great and long lasting. I'm a team player and in group, hero or villain situations, theirs room for improvements. 

    I haven't tested them out in Co-Op.

    All the best
