I'm sure some have thought of this already but what teams have people theorycrafted with C3PO in the sith raid?

Only one I've come up with so far is adding him with JTR team in P1. He and R2 would be able to hit double expose on every basic and R2 could also hit double expose on C3's special which would feed RT more TM.
Also, everyone with 3 translations would see their cooldowns dwindle at a faster rate so specials could be used more which means Bb8's ID cooldown will drop at a faster rate.
Lastly, R2 would probably do quite a bit more damage with the following bonuses for each translation: 10% crit dmg, 10% defense pen, and 10% potency.
The only problem there is, his Rebel tag basic Exposes won’t have the leader benefit of being irresistible like the ones from JTR lead, so they will rarely land on Nihilus unless it is the first or second hit after he takes a turn. You could still benefit from cranking up the Exposes on the adds to take turns faster, but even with the mass attack calls I’m not sure he will add enough to replace (probably) scavenger Rey.
I’m thinking he will see more use in P2, since he can reduce the amount of counters Sion is throwing out, who the optimal line up for that is though... I’m not sure yet. Rebel tag means he won’t replace anyone in machine gun Leia lineup, but he may be able to go in for Hermit Yoda in beast mode/Kenobi swamp lines. Or, as popularly theorized, he really might make those murder bears tick.
I know I threw my 7 Star unmodded g7 threepio in with ZFinn (Poe, pilot, trooper) this morning in Territory Battles and it was absolutely terrifyingly effective on auto (not that ZFinn doesn’t tear that up anyways), but it won’t help them any in the raid, of course, they will still never overcome the Boss tenacity boosts
I just did a test run with him at G8 and the group did about 6% damage in P1. And that was despite losing RT when DN still had 9 turns left. C3 was actually hitting confuse as well as some exposes. If C3 has maxed translate then he gets +30% potency on top of whatever he has for mods. And if Bb8 has inflicted tenacity down then that makes DN more vulnerable. But the most notable bonus was how often JTR was getting to use her specials.
My RT is only G11 so I'd be interested to see how much more damage they could have done had I kept him alive. I'm not sure if he qualifies as a definite replacement, but he's definitely got potential.
