HK(L), IG-88,86, Poe, Poggle is my team as the formula.Recently, Qui-Gon comes to Cantina Shipment.I heard Qui-Gon's leader skill Lv8 is 25speed up for all but HK's is 30 cri-rate, 50 turn meter at critical only for droid.Which leader is better, HK-47 or Qui-Gon?Should I begin collecting Qui-Gon shards instead of making Poe Dameron(9/100) 7-star?

Lobot, or he would be if they fixed his leader speed buff to work in the first round.Poggle is another contender, and 88, since his buff works for all toons not just droids like HK.

Can this kill both Poe and FOTP AT 1~2 turns? If I can't, I lose.

I'm fascinated by all those droid talks on the forum so I decided to jump on the bandwagon too! Made a new alt account today, level 24 already and rocking HK47 as leader, with the usual IG88 and IG86. No luck in pulling poggle or poe from bronzium so I'm using chewbacca as my taunt and JC as heals for the time being.

My team is poggle as leader (genosian + droid offense), genosian soldier, Hk47, IG88, IG 86. Strongest offensive team

Yeah, that is a strong offensive team since there is zero survivability on the team.

My current arena squad setup the same as yours.
HK47 4*(L), IG86 7*, IG86 6*, Poggle 4*, Poe 4* - all VIII 65 lvl
Usually i'm top 20.
At the moment droid team is powerful but when HK 47 achieve 8 lvl leader ability he can give us 50% turn meter on crit....
If IG 88 crits 5 ppl he gets 250% turn meter and moves one more time and crits again, another +50%, so at the second turn he has 200%, he goes again, and another crit....and another move....and another crit...
So if i'm right, he has a chance to shoot another 4 times right AFTER his AOE.....thats insane
With Poggle buff its almost 70k damage(~30k aoe + ~10k every other shot) and i didn't calculate when all enemy team have debuff, in this case IG88 has additional +100% damage (lvl 8 +20% per one debuffed enemy toon)
Unfortunately all this only in my dreams and only at 82lvl.

Sorry for my english)

Does the turn meter go past 100%?? Is this confirmed by anybody?

Im not sure. Hm...ill test it today.

If it is confirmed, he will need a nerf because my AoE's do 6k with poggle buff and then follow it up with a 6k single target crit and if that doesn't do it, you get even another attack?? That means anybody in the game would be dead.

What are you people talking about??

① Turn meter gauge can not over 100%.

If a character get turn meter more than 100% by buff or something, it/he/she just get only a full gauge of turn meter and end.

Just think about when Phasma's 2nd skill, even if ally already has full gauge, the gauge is just full and is not filled again.

② In my experience, IG-88' turn meter benefit by HK's leader skill is NOT multiplied by critical AOE.

③ The reason compareing and considering HK and Qui-gon is because if Qui-Gon's Lv8 leader skill gives 25 speed to all allies, almost of all opponent's defender team allies take actions(Ben's skill ban, Poe's turn meter cutting, FOTP's double attacking, Rei's multi-attacking etc.) before my attacking team's poe do something. So when my turn coming, it could be possible that my glass cannons are already or almost dead and Poggle can not provide burf. But droid team need both speed and critical rate by HK-47 or something which Qui-Gon leader can not do. So this is difficult to decide which one is better leader for droid team, HK or Qui-Gon.

Heh, that is why I asked for a confirmation :)

And yes, turn meter benefit is multiplied by crit AoE. If he crits 4 people right now with the 33% turn meter per crit, he does go again right away. If he crits 3, he may go again right away unless somebody is already at 100% turn meter.
