Tank or no tank

Yeah man RG is worth the grind.... Same for dooku IMO... If you want to make it worth it throw Luminara into your squad so you have a healer(or ideally Barris Offee if you grinded that toon)

Hey guys thanks for the advice I have poe right now so im gunna 7star him cause i haven't unlocked Han yet and th is at 4 or 5 star right now

I have fought droid teams with RG and i can tell you they are soft. However that RG was gear 8. Gear 9 RG is much much better. Better than Han or Poe UNLESS you can get Han to gear 9 as well.

If you can't gear 9 any of these, i suggest Poe. I still think he is the best tank for droids, assuming gear 8 all around.

Who do u pull for the tank tho:(

Pull HK and make Poggle lead

I run 7* Han, gear 8 in Arena and I finish top 5. He absorbs TONS of damage post-update, giving me lots of turn meter boosts. Best practice is taunt, and have STH attack Dooku on his turns. Dooku will likely get bonus attack on his weak counter, giving you twice the turn meter boost.

Oh now i understand! Yea that's what i would do too. Might be biased, because for some reason, in my shard people are still afraid of the droid teams. Must be the whoopin they got from before they got to 70! :smiley:

Droid teams are still really strong, even in the mid-70s, but single-tank droid teams (i.e. traditional poggle, 86, 88, gs, poe teams) get destroyed by QGJ teams. I've seen a lot of people who play droids playing 2-tank (Poggle, RG+Han, 86/GS, 88) droid teams in the top 20 recently.

Okay so to claify because everyone posted all over haha so make poggle lead pull out go for RG? So my team should be poggle(Lead),Rg,GS,IG-88/86

Poggle speed up is not enough to even get IG88 a first turn. Poe plus poggle TM is usually enough to do that. If 88 doesn't get a first attack, you can't ability block anyone and/or reduce protection. This is the only chance you have against certain teams; that plus the crits and the insta-followup attack to break down the enemy, so that the next batter, 86, can ohko someone. So in order to get 88 a turn, the best chance is to have poggle and poe, both.

With RG as the tank, eventually this will be a decent team. But it also has some weaknesses. Namely, your droids can't heal, except for 88 (and 88's health pool is so low it's very hit or miss if he can use it). So when RG taunts, there is no way to heal the affected toon back to over 50%. Thus droids don't take full advantage of RG's skillset.

ST han, haha, no. Again, 88 is dead for sure. Period. Droid Assault does not speed up Han, so no dice, there. The only reason Droid/Poe/Poggle works (when it even does) is by giving the other team only one or two attacks to take out or block your team, before all your droids go and hopefully take out at least one opponent and/or block key opponents, so that enough of your droids will still be alive for round two. Well, offensively, against certain teams, this might be good. But if you leave this team up, you will drop like a rock.

You need RG or Poe, at least. Han might work with two tanks, but I doubt it. Because you are losing too much DPS without the poggle buff.

Yes- I think that's your strongest droid-focused lineup.

So quick question sorry ahah when I do droid v droid should I change line up at all?
