I can't find much info on if the omicron is worth it. Anyone add it and see a huge impact in the raid?

That is another issue. The odds of Scout Trooper being needed in another Featured Raid soon seem bad.

Maybe so, but Empire is a big faction so it's sure to be needed again at some point. FWIW I have the omicron on R7 Scout and with 3PO did 1.38mil. It was pretty consistent across multiple attempts.

I mean, be real. Even if the Omicrons accounted for the same value per run, you get 8 runs with Speeder Bike and only 5 runs with Krayt. In each case the Scout and Boussh Omicrons could be used exactly once. So the Scout gets that Omi boost in 1/8 runs, where Boussh got it for 1/5 runs. This means that they've slashed the value of the Omi by 37.5%. Instead of boosting the power of the Scout Omi to far beyond that of the Boussh Omi to compensate for this, the Scout Omi appears to be less effective in enhancing scores than the Boussh Omi was. I will wait to make a final determination, but 37.5% less effectiveness combined with 2x the cost (most of us got the Boussh omi for 10 mats or bought it earlier for 20 and then were refunded 10 mats) looks very much like the value of the Scout Omi has crashed through the floor compared to Leia's.

Scout Trooper omicron, is it worth it?

I'm holding off on it for now - I feel like it might be good to push a single team to max score - but one out of eight teams getting max score as opposed to 70-80% of max score doesn't really feel that impactful in the grand scheme of things. I think there are better uses for my omis right now.

General consensus I've seen on Discord is that it can add about 400k to a run and not as much of a home run as Boush's omicron was for Krayt.

To op.s question id say no, not worth it. If it makes a big difference in the next raid maybe put it in then

No ... Raid-omicrons are the absolute worst. The mats are super hard to come by and are needed for many other important toons in GAC and TW. Raids cycle around, so at best you'll be able to use Scouts omicron for around 9 months. Then the raid will cycle, and it's unclear if Endor Bike Race-raid will ever be back again.

GAC and TW omicrons are "eternal" ... Raid omicrons are temporary.

I'm going to swim here:

It should be 10 omnis for raid omnis. At that price the disposable nature makes sense. The "forever" raid mechanic only applies 1) if the scout trooper is good to couple with Drogan and 2) if these characters are even eligible in the next raids. So that part of the text is a bit of a nothing burger.

I pulled the trigger on it, despite thinking it was going to ultimately be a waste, because CG has stated the raid will be around for about 8 months. We're trying to push our team to climb in the reward structure and exceeding Krayt now, so ... gotta do the best I can. I am close to GL LO, and that was a bit (more permanent) advantage.

Long term-probably wrong choice. Near term, will be some help.
