A great addition, but not worth $220.

This^ I feel like $220 should get you 5-10 7* characters full geared. not one bad character.

I have him. He's not bad.

In my early opinion, ig 100 serves a specific role. He is the droid team defense against other droid teams and aoe. While not sacrificing too much on offense. And also stalling for time while je tries to get his first kill post mortem.

B2 has no clear role on android team, so far as i can tell. By the time the other team buffs, it is too late. Droid team needs a weak hitting debuffer as much as ugnaught. Hk already fills that role (minus a detaunt) and has a great leader skill.

B2 might be situationally good against sunfac plus rg.

I'm a big fan of B2 so far. He does a great job countering current meta toons. Had a GW node today and he buff blocked Han, Rey, and Leia! That was phenomenal. In a full droid team, 88 and 86 can do plenty of damage on their own and with a 47 lead giving them turn meter they almost act as 3-3.5 toons instead of just two. B2's damage also adds up because he hits so often. I think he's a great tool. He not an MVP all on his own though - you need to surround him with a strong team, but if you do so and let his main skill shine he's fantastic. He's a valuable toon because he can swing the battle in your favor and that's what you're looking for in a character. His potency once geared is good and his AOE is pretty reliable as a result.

Do you have yours at gear 9 or 10 @JohnnySteelAlpha
Curious what his potency and protection is at 10. I need a Nubian and droid collar before I can get there.

Dont have a B2, but ive fought 3 times against a meta team with B2 in it...didnt really have a problem. Stuned B2 in a try or two and put him down. Mopped up rest. I run hk/88/86/rg/daka on a shard where top 50 always dodge meta...im usually only hk lead. Apparently the B2 does have issue against dodge meta cause the ones on my shard arent getting any higher than 25...which is where im usually at...

8 at the moment, so his potency is 70%, which is decent. I'm still seeing him apply debuffs and blocks pretty reliably. I can get him to 130% potency here shortly - just need guild reset so I can farm a projector to take him g9...then g10 is all ready to go.

but at G10 if you max him he gets 20k protection (42k health and protection combined) and 170% potency - so very strong in both. Even if you don't have a scanner to take him to g10, his potency on g9 can still get to 90%, which is a pretty solid number. G9 he has 15k protection and over 20k health. I think he's definitely viable at g9 for the role he's meant to serve.

He hits weakly but if he hit hard everyone would cry. The guy, even at gear 8. Is a game changer. His kit is awesome and he compliments many builds. This guy is a lot of fun, and gives you so many options for builds as he is a dodge and taunt counter.

If he did more damage everyone would get him just to be able to be competitive!

It's good that he doesn't hit as hard.

Ya. He would be good against ben han, too.

@JohnnySteelAlpha Your B2 at gear 9 has over 20k health?
Mine only has 18ish. Is this a bug?
