How do you figure his kit is disappointing? His kit looks to make him an AMAZING support for droids or resistance. I've done the math and he makes droids ridiculouly more powerful. Can't say for sure about resistance though.

I'm in the same boat except my zKylo is G11. We'll only know on the first day of the event though. What I can say for sure is that I'm worried, the opposing team is made of heavy hitters so... I'm affraid G8 won't make it for the 7th star but we'll see.

As others have said. I have yet to see any event besides assault battles require over g8.

I got zPhasma since I assumed an FO event would come at some point. She's G11, FOTP is 10, Kyle is 9, and the two goons are 8. I'm going to at least bring FOST to g9, I'll try to get FOO up to 9. And I have a zeta for Kyle or FOST if I need.

I'm not so sure about BB8 myself - that 70 cool down sounds like madness, but 8 cool down on DN sounded like a lot too but it ended up being fine. And it looks like he might pair up great with R2. Plus, I'm confident CG will rework legendary toons if they're not up to par (FYI, Yoda needs love...)

I did some math and the right droid squad would have that cooldown reduced by 54-57 before the opposing team got to go. With him in comp a match would basically go: 3 rounds of droid team, 1 round of enemy team, 4-5 rounds of droid team to start (and probably end) the match.

I never faced a legendary event where G8 wasn't enough

Did you get 7 star Thrawn with all gear 8 phoenix?

Everybody know that the event will be back in December. BB8 will be required in *7 to unlock jedi Rey at *7.

This was my speculation as well.

BB8 "it's a trap".. his kit is not great, good things he don't have rebel tag so it's usability locked to resistance n droid only. Who's gonna use char with 70 cooldown in arena anyway.

Idk what will come in December.. jedi Rey, old jedi master Luke, or even maybe Snoke. I don't have desire to have BB8 for daily use, i'm just afraid one day he will become required char like R2 in CLS event.

And.. we all trapped bcause we ignore BB8 :bawling:

The 70 turn cooldown isn't even that long if you actually think about it

Idk, Nihilus annihilate with just 8 cooldown (with can reduce cooldown stuff) feels long and barely can release before battle over.

Also imo, BB8 is not well design char.. my proof is when launch at update, he don't have protection, then there is update patch. Bang, he got 30k protection :#

With Finn lead the 70 will go down extremely fast. This may or may not be better for HAAT than Rey/Pilot/R2. Time will tell.

Secret intel spreading like wildfire, plus zeta Finn expose pops - I'd be surprised if it was any longer than every 3rd turn in a resistance squad

(Unless there is a buff cleanser on the opposite team)
