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.

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.
