B1 Battle Droid Node

B1 may be part of a decent GA team, but he's no Nest. Now that we know he's actually bad in the legendary requiring Seps, there's no extra incentive to farm him (unlike Carth).

If you already have Nest and Carth, it makes sense to farm B1. Unless you want to do the ships like Anakin's or Sith Fighter instead (I know they aren't meta, but my guild needs them for platoons and I don't need B1).

That is a very dubious statement.

You can farm B1 only using free energy, which is paying the same price as any standard node. Zero crystals.

If you want to farm faster, we get 165 free fleet energy a day so seven days out of ten, you can spend 25 crystals on a node refresh which is the same as a standard node.

If you want to buy energy refreshes for fleet energy, those specifically cost more, but you're still buying node refreshes at the same price, so you're talking along the lines of 125 for one node refresh and one fleet energy refresh or 175 for two node refreshes and one fleet energy refresh, vice 75/125 for standard, which is not double.

We might get an another assault battle or similar event that has them in the mix.

I'd be shocked if it was any time soon. They put things on the fleet table to make them the most difficult farms in the game.

It's not without precedent. Nest landed in the bounty event. Although that was quite a while after getting her node (6 months maybe?).

Speaking of which, they should add the sith ships to the Secrets and Shadows assault battle. There were so few sith ships when that event was created, they put in Kylo's CS and FOTie. They really should put in Sith Fighter and Bomber, perhaps Palp's shuttle too.

They put things on fleet table because it's a new table that has to be populated.

That doesn't invalidate my statement.

Agree with @TVF. If they wanted to populate the ships table they would have put most of the recent releases there, but they didn't. Most went to hard nodes which already had characters on them, rearranging everything in the process.

They're very selective of who they put on ships. Double the refresh of regular energy, which basically negates most FTP (**NOT ALL) players from refreshing ships energy for only one more set of sims per day. Why do 100/5 when you can get 50/5 on regular energy where there's much more to farm?

I can't remember the last time I refreshed ship energy with crystals. Can't be bothered.

Lore wise b1 isn’t a major unit however he is a major unit when it comes to a separatist droids team and the zeta greatly improves how long he stays alive, the healing done, and damage done. Little misinformed there

Yes, and NS zombie is a major unit too. She doesn't have a zeta...

Actually it's not "dubious" at all. Like you vaguely stated yourself fleet energy "cost more", yes they actually cost twice as much as regular energy. And "twice as much" means double.... smh

And sure you could just farm him the way you reccomended with free energy, and with horrendous drop rates you can maybe get the chance to get him to 7 star before next Easter. Then probably wait another year after catching up with all the new meta zeta abilities, to zeta b-1; and actually be able to viably use him. And that's only IF you only focus on him, completely ignoring any, and all new more important characters are relegated to the nightmare that is fleet node farming. Have fun ?
