Speed leader abilities do NOT work on first turn.

Really?? My community of this game think first turn depends on the speed factor.

And sometimes opponents with Qui-Gon and Poe took first turn or first~third turns.

Yes, first turn depends on the speed tiers, but speed leader abilities start working only after the first turn.

It's not even a comparison. The only effective droid teams use hk as lead.

Word...

At skill level 8 he will get a dot added to special that already has 4 debuffs, and get 50% to turn meter to all droids on crit. That's huge.

No, turn meter cannot go over 1000 with bonus effect.

Hello.

I run all 4 droids and Talia. It's working for me.
Talia has has nice turn meter boost when healing, which is nice. I've yet to try lobot or poggle.

HK for leader is definitely what I would reccomend.

The main issue for droids is speed,though once they get going they're like a freight train.

Does it work well for u? I'm making a droid team in progress in my main, and that would take a few weeks at least to get ready.

I'm also planning to make a 7* Poe for taunting purposes. With 4 droids and no taunt do ur droids die quickly?

Poe is essential, droids are veeery squishy (except HK).

It's working very well. All my droids are 7* Max kit and Talia getting there.
I'm bouncing around the top 10 in arena, have yet to win a GW.

Once the droids have weathered the opening salvo, they will all be close to death. Talia gets her heal off with meter boost, then its all good. That's her only job, to see the droids last a little longer. This action is pivotal. This helps ig100 and hk47 to get a go, and if they crit then more turn meter shenanigans.

Having 4 droids really helps in a strange way as all their abilities synergize nicely. IG 100 isn't the best, there are probably alot better toons for the slot but I haven't had the opportunity yet to experiment. He's solid, can take a few punches, good against jedi and looks cool.

So in answer, yes they die quickly, but if Talia heals, the other teams dies quicker.

I run a classic droid team with: HK (lead) 6*, IG88 7*, IG86 7*, Poggle 7* and Poe 5*. Can usually finish top 10 @ lvl 66. Have quite a few big whales on the server and I am a moderate spender. Love this team setup. Great for arena and put in Lum and JC for Poggle and Poe and I have no issues in GW. I have the same questions though about Poe vs QGJ. In the current Meta, I would keep farming Poe, but thinking of the shifting Meta in the future, QGJ might be better? Tough call... Also, trying to take any future game modes into consideration, where we may need specific teams that require some character diversity that I don't currently have.

Funny looking through the top 50 on my server, there are only 4 teams (mine included) that don't run Phasma or Sid as leader. Also seems that I am the only droid team on the server.

You gain about 2k hp and some additional attack going up from 5 star to 7 star. I currently share your dilemma and decided its probably better off to start farming QGJ. It will take you about a month farming Poe from 5-7 stars with two cantina refills per day. I currently have QGJ at 3 stars and in the same amount of time I can get him to 6 stars.

But QGJ can't taunt. I do not understand the synergies except getting an additional attack in on a droid team when they specialize in AoE's where with Poe, if he survives an entire round, you are guaranteed to have all your droids attack a 2nd time and probably HK and 88 attacking a 3rd time if they hit their AoE crits.

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.

except that hk47 is so much better than 88. Mainly b/c he can throw a nade crit all, and go again for free. Same with 88.
