Scout Trooper omicron, is it worth it?

Leia's was totally worth it to me, the protagonist.

This one, not so much.

YMMV

Yeah, Boushh omicron was amazing, do not regret even a little. Scout's seems like it's not doing enough to be worthwhile, so will probably skip it.

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.

I honestly jumped the gun and omni Scout. Is she worth it? Idk but I did it so I'm going to use it. The raid is the current way to earn MK3 and she can do some decent scores in the raid from what I've done. Makes the run a little easier and from the description she'll be used in the raids down the line. How far away that is though will be up to CG putting her as a requirement. For the next 8-9 months and I'll at least be able to get some higher scores. I didn't do Boush so I like to think I'm helping the guild out to reach the next box

Helping the guild get the next box is the thing to consider, right?
So let's go crazy, and say the the omi is worth 1 million extra points. Tier 5 is pretty much the first place this could be the case, so we're talking r7 characters in the roster here.
So in a guild with all people with a few r7 teams to use, reaching the 208 box is easy. 250 let's say. If every player in that guild applied the omi, with the 1 million extra points, that 50 million extra still makes zero difference to the guild box.
For many players it might not even bridge to the next personal reward.

I think many players could make up a million points with some g12 upgrades or low relics on their bottom 3 teams.

And I really don't think the omi is going to make a million points difference. Seems like there are plenty of ways to get extra points for the guild without using up an omi.

I found the boush omi good, as I ran my Jabba team every 3 days, and it made it easier to hit max in one try. I don't see that same incentive here.

You might want to go back and read all the words

Ah - I did miss that. Nearly useless though, so not sure it matters.
