Scout Trooper omicron, is it worth it?

No

Can only be used on ONE specific raid, one time per raid event. F--k no.

You might want to go back and read all the words

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.

We get to use Scout troopers for three more months than Leias

Have they definitely announced the lifetime of Endor? I must have missed that. Can anyone point me to the announcement?

They said the new raid cadence is 8-9 months - so we didn't get a definitive date, but we can approximate now that it's been released.

Thanks, I was just thinking about how Krayt only lasted 6 months so wondering if there’ll be a set cadence in future.

no i took the plunge already and nets 100k more then without it but thats it.

i hate agreeing with ahnald but if it was 10 omis might be worth it but 20 seems a bit much

He jumps the gun on some things, but he's right often enough to at least consider what he says.

I’d like to think that since they baked in that verbiage about it being used in other raids besides Endor, there’s plans to have Scout in future raids. But without clear directive and communication from CG, it makes it very difficult to confidently pull the trigger. Personally, I don’t think I’ll ever apply a raid omicron unless it’s just absolutely transcendent. At least not at 20 mats. My omi priority is GAC first (by far), TW (distant) second.

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.
