Droids speed and Jawa engineer's recalibrate

There isn't much wiggs on my server so I go with the specific turn order build. My je has 265 peed and my droids are all around 170 speed. B2 first, then HK, then 88 and finally 86. There's a calculator for this ask @Chewie_says_Aaarww

Honestly its a shard dependent thing. If yours is filled with a lot of wiggs teams or Rex leads then you'd want to get them all to 100% TM, this leads to potentially less dmg from 88 but also less chance of biggs/rex teams to slip a character in between your droid turns. If there is little to no wedge/rex then you'd be better off with a specific turn order to maximize dmg

Do you guys have an updated speed caclulator for droids ?

Thanks a lot

Hi there :)

You can use this form I made:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-RqMTNkj9If0f1Lr-Umv9BLsKKTRwF6GK4nDklAdDZ0/edit#gid=0

Regarding their speed, all your droids should get 100% turn meter after JE uses his recalibrate :) Else Biggs will get 100% turn meter after your first aoe, en another 100% after the next aoe, then another 100% after the next etc... You'll get the point.

Unfortunately Droids don't stand a chance against Maul zeta lead. Sith Assasin is like JE, But way faster with a way better kid.

Good luck! :)

Droid speed calculator is nice and all. Basically just uses this formula:
(1000-10(jawa engineer's recalibrate %)) / (1000/jawa engineer's speed)
After resolving the denominator round up to the nearest whole number. After completing the problem round down to the nearest whole number.

If you didn't have to round at all, then you can set your speed to any number below what the equation reveals. If you did have to round at some point, then it can also be that number. If you are going for starting turn order, your first droid can have as much speed as you can stack, as long as the second and successive ones are at or below the number this equation reveals.

Okay thanks you guys.
Yeah Chewie, this morning I tought a 38k power zaul lead team was an easy fight with my 46k full G11 modded droid squad.. but I was so wrong ... Then I look this zeta ability and I cried because my droids are so far from a zeta ability :(

I'm still running droids for the next month or so. It definitely is shard dependent, but I think order is more important that getting everyone to 100% after JE. Specifically b2 needs to go first to remove pre taunt or sith stealth. Nothing ruins and attempt like throwing away 88, 86, and hk's attacks on shore or baze. Ideally have a few extra mods around that if you have to battle a specific person and need everyone to go first throw them on and hope for good rng, but most fights droids will benefit from a set order.

Meh, her tm gain is more reminiscent of a weak version of Lobot's than it is comparable to Jawa Engineer's.

Speaking of Lobot, he is an excellent sub for Jawa Engineer against a Sith/Empire team. He is quite fast in a droid team as well (if not quite as fast as JE, he is still fast enough to easily go every 5 ticks, and has the potential to reach every 4 ticks, which is the range JE falls into). His dispel is like a cross between Rex's and Ackbar's. The defense down he inflicts with basic is quite nice for hurrying along your kills too.

Debuffs are a droid's biggest weakness in general. Having someone who can not only practically fill the same role as another member, but also turn that weakness into a strength (source of healing) is awesome.

Subbing characters for climbing ranks in arena is always helpful. Just make sure to do your final match with your best team for defense.

If you modify the turn order, you need to throw away lots of speed, which it required for the rest of the battle. My JE has 295 speed with the droid ally bonus. If I want ig-88 to go after B2, I have to reduce his speed from 201 to 163 speed. I prefer the random order and the extra 38 speed than a slow 88. But like you said, it depends on each shard how fast your squad needs to be to get to the top 5.

I must respectfully disagree with you on this one. Having b2 go first against teams with shoretrooper or baze (most teams) is absolutely vital. HK should then be attacking next for all the debuffs, followed up by ig88 who gets a huge damage boost, and lastly ig86 who can refill the tm of assisting droid. Turn one usually ensures me to two kills which is most often enough for a win. This also ensures your not wasting attacks on shore/baze. I run a 265 speed je, 315 counting the passive, and my droids are all around 170 speed, which is by no means slow and they don't need speed anyways with the constant tm refill. I used to run the 100% tm setup but could barely break the top 30, now I can even break the top 10 on a Nov 15 shard. Potency, CRIT chance and offense secondaries on the droids is more important IMO.
