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.

Wow, didn't know they could be this effective! And your JE is quite fast lol. May I take a look at your swgoh.gg profile? Maybe I can learn a thing or 2 :)

Now I'm running zBoba lead, B2, JE, K2 and 88. Works a bit better against zMaul squads. Although I'm loosing the edge because of sith assassins with 252 speed. Can you beat those squads?

Currently my account is not linked but yea my je is 265 speed, b2 176 speed, HK 173, 88 172, 86 171. This allows me to win against zader setups with shore 98% of the time. It also does much better against zaul as I can open up with b2s cleanse to unstealth the sith and if I land buff immunity I have a very good chance of winning. My b2s potency is a bit low at 84%, currently working on getting that up. Also the notion that you need 100% tm against wiggs is not true. Just replace 86 with k2so and mod him to go second so he can inflict daze on biggs, after that go crazy with HK and 88 AOE and get a easy win. It's just so much more enjoyable to play as well, it's so frustrating having ig88 go first when facing zader or zaul teams. Also Jedi zqgj teams are popular in my top 50 as well. This helps immensely agasiint them as I can use b2s relatively weak AOE to clear all the Foresight's then land a huge amount of debuffs with hk. If you have the random order squad you risk having 88/86 go first and using an attack only to be dodged bringing them down to 0% tm and basically guaranteeing a loss. Right now I'm the only droid squad who can stay in the top 20 on my shard, sadly most my droid buddies have fallen out of the top 50 besides one who stays 40-50ish :(.

Oh and no one is running sith assassin on my shard so I can't really comment on that. That's quite the team id love to see it in action. I'd try it myself but sadly only have gear 8 boba haha. Hope this helps @Chewie_says_Aaarww
