Driodeka: fast or slow?

I initially had my Droideka modded slow as per the usual guides but struggled with the Clash on Kamino phase 4 so modded him fast & eventually unlocked GAS. Wanted to check before I re-mod him again that he's better being slow because of his basic difference in speed offence thing?

  • I personally mod him slow just so he can stack charge.
    He can deal a few hits with his assist ability while hes waiting to get his turn anyway.
    Im also curious how others mod him..

    Slow speed. Offence mods.

    Same here too.
  • So, here's the thing.

    Let's pretend just for a moment that he's just as good either way.

    Most attackers aren't. Most attackers are going to need that speed.

    You only have so many +20 speed Offense mods. Do you give them to the toons who need speed or to the toon who doesn't care because they're just as good fast or slow?

    Of course you give it to the toon that needs speed, since you would ruin that toon to deprive it of speed, but you won't ruin DDK.

    Give your low speed Offense mods to DDK. Someday when you've been playing the game for 12 years and have more +25 speed mods than you know what to do with, this will be a legit question for consideration, but for anyone with a limited number of high speed mods, you're always going to have someone who needs the speed more than DDK does.
  • Including the +50% speed bump without damage immunity, you want him just to be the fastest. If your B1 is at 299, mod Droideka to be at 200. With the bonus, Droideka is at 300 to go first and rolls. This way Droideka starts assisting with every other move done by his separatist allies.
  • Slow and hitting hard. Esp with the new Omicron for TW.

    The basic true damage is based on his difference in speed with the target, and if he's in Damage Immunity mode, he'll be 50% slower.
