Jawa Engineer

+1 to the detonator button or make it that they are chained together so that when one goes off they all go off. Don't want him to be OP but when he is called for an assist you basically get no damage from him at all.

I actually like the detonator idea for any grenade thrower and the chain idea. If any grenade blows that is on a character blows they all blow.

Plus he is useless on offense against Yoda battle meditation as his only attack is a debuff which is auto resisted, can't do damage and if Yoda is lead also gives turn meter to the person attacked. If there was ever a reason for a skip turn button it's this

When are they supposed to detonate? Boba's turn or JE's turn? I encountered something similar earlier in same challenge. Except suddenly they went off and Boba was gone. I'm just getting started with him, and so far I'm uncertain of how his basic attack really works. It definitely shouldn't be resisted.

Yeah chain reaction would be a must, if the remote detonator option is used. Also, while it's handy in some situations for the bomb to be treated like a status effect, I think it causes more issues with status resist. It needs to be treated like any other attack that can be dodged or blocked, but not resisted, whereas now it gets all 3.

I have no Idea. I've seen characters take at least 1 turn, if not 2 while having bombs on them. Clearly JE was able to take 7 turns from the image, so it has nothing to do with his turn. I really would like remote detonator. It'd be unique and fun. Here's my JE concept:

Jawa engineer
Miniaturized Detonator
STICKY BOMBS (basic): Throw a sticky bomb on target enemy. This attack can be dodged, but not resisted. Bombs detonate when triggered or when Jawa Engineer dies. (NO COOLDOWN ON THIS)
DETONATOR (basic): Deal low damage to target enemy. If that enemy has any sticky bombs, they all detonate doing lots of damage (Think 1000-2500 per bomb based on level skill). (NO COOLDOWN ON THIS)
PATCH UP: NO CHANGE
RECALIBRATE (special): NO CHANGE
CRUNCH TIME (leader): Jawa Engineer has +9 speed for each Jawa or Droid Ally. Droid and Jawa allies gain half this speed and gain 20% increased protection.

He isn't there to do damage though. He is balanced around not doing any damage and making the droids OP again.

And is he doing this? He'd be better if he had a basic wet noodle attack than what he has now. Right now, he has 2 functional abilities. He doesn't make Droids any better. Sure, he can rez a Droid, but that not an offensive ability or improving your Droids. He also can give Droids crit chance up and turn meter, but I think I bet a Dps toon will do more damage than increased turn meter and crit chance up, meaning there's no reason to use JE, especially if my focus was Droids. There's no reason to run Jawas over Lobot right now, and engineer could change that with the right abilities.

Imo he's great. Dont do all droids. I did Hk lead,IG88,ig86, JE, jawa
JE basic buffs jawa's basic
(it'd actually be cool if jawa's basic consumed detonators for higher damage)

Also, if it were made impossible for ig86 to call on JE for an assist that'd be nice cuz it is very sad when that happens
