Is there any reason to give him synergy the current droids though?

Cuz he's a dam droid?

Phasma and Cody are both humans (and tagged as such), but they don't have any explicit synergies.

Why should sharing a race require synergy? Are the 7 synergized droids (plus 3 non-droid toons with droid synergies) not enough? (coming from a droid player who plans to get R2 as quickly as possible ... without spending mountains of cash).

@EA_Jesse there is this Iconic character from Star Wars named Luke Skywalker and he is a Jedi knight. Maybe you haven't heard of him...... r2 is great and all but what gives really? Spam countless toons we really don't want and keep the one thing that can make $$$$$$$$$ away. Sigh....... it's kinda sad the princess was right Obi wan you are the only hope.

They did announce that 2 new fan favorite toons were being added in the next 2 months. This is one of them. Jedi Luke could still be the second one

I bet they go dark side next. My guess is Jango.

That could be. But Luke is in the new trailer for the game when he wasn't there before. And he's still on the picture at the loading screen. Why have Luke in the trailer if you aren't going to add him?

It's an old datamine, but if it checks out, Zaul got a boost.

Oh that's a huge mess up if true. His abilities should be specific to his factions.

His skills seem solid... But there's still a long road to see if he is arena viable. None of these matters if he's too slow or too squishy...

So? There is no reason to make him great in a droid team. He isn't even on the same side of the war as almost every other droid in this game. Why would you expect R2D2 to pair well with characters like General Grievous or IG88?

It's old. There is no burn in there for one. It could be similar, but no way they release an evasion toon right now. That would be such a dumb move and a slap in the face to everyone complaining about evasion.

Sooooooooo....... farm empire toons?

Seems like it...

Any other single faction and it'll cause an uproar. Plus it seems that empire was just confirmed :wink:
