Maxed Grievous-Scouting Report
So after weeks of farming (and more $ than I want to admit), I have a Maxed Star/Level/Gear GG. Here's my review.
Here's the down side:
He's useless outside of a Droid Team. He needs every bit of the Health synergy (8% per living droid ally) to be viable.
For a character that's so slow (97), his primary attacks are WAY underpowered. Imagine the durability of FOTP, without the one-shot capability.
The forced ally taunt is a disaster when it falls on a less "tanky" toon.
Now the upside:
If you've abandoned your droid team in the Dooko era, GG brings that team back into play.
As the leader, he provides resistance to critical chance and critical damage. Your glass cannon droids take a hit much better. My 86 and 88 began surviving more of Rey's powered up attacks (albeit with a sliver of red). The extra turn made all the difference against the Dooko teams.
His ability to best dodge, made his underpowered attacks more meaningful in putting toons down.
I was a bit disappointed in how often the "Max Health Down" landed, but when it does, RG becomes toast-which is a game changer.
Overall-not much use for the good general.
If a droid team is your preference, his addition makes battles against Dooko even.
That being said, he's too damn expensive.
In retrospect-there are better ways to spend your cred in the shard store.
I know a lot of people who stopped farming GG after getting him at 5*, I wish I was one of them.
Hope this helps anyone who is on the fence.
