Anyone else going all-in on CLS R2 C3 Han Chew?

I can't imagine a situation where Old Ben's kit isn't more valuable than R2's.

Me too buds! About to G13 CLS, with Han, Chew, and R2 all G13 and either relic 2 or 3. I have a G12 zzOB and wouldn't use him over R2 for one reason. Even disregarding the Number Crunch and Combat Analysis zetas, R2's stealth is going to be more important than anything OB has to offer, primarily against JKR and Dralak teams. JKR so you can force him to mark R2, and Dralak because R2 can outspeed DRevan and BSF and again, corral the DRevan fear onto himself. If you swap R2 for OB he likely wouldn't even have a chance to taunt or use Mind Tricks because DRevan would land his fear on CLS and thus the whole team. I'm not even sure if you could get OB fast enough to capitalize on a TM train because he's so slow.

Edit: I will say though, he could be a useful swap for R2 against GG teams, though I typically find that R2 still provides enough to beat a GG team without much difficulty too.

Same. Set up for G12+3 zzC3PO as soon as it goes live. Replace my Thrawn.

G13 R4 on Han, R2 on Chewie. Don't regret it. They're a fun team.

Are you in my boat seriously considering swapping Old Ben into R2's place?

Old Ben, just as iconic and more powerful.

Nowhere near geared up enough but I'd like to run the two droids for a while to see how it goes. They're both going to be fast so it should be fun.

"Side Project" added: G12 zOld Ben. Just gotta figure out which mods would be beat. Thoughts?

I just can't imagine losing Number Crunch.

A real taunt and AOE ability block on the 2nd highest burst damage team just beats it in my opinion. 1stbbeing GG

I can nuke BSF with the opening move about 75% of the time, and when it doesn't work, CLS can use Call to Action and either: no SiT Chewie kills BSF with assist, or SiT gets Tenacity Down and CLS is free to hit BSF for the kill. Once she's dead the team is pretty much toast.

Hoping that C3PO and his extra debuffs and chances of being resisted will help boost CLS & R2 "faster".

Well BAM!!!! My question is answered!

Well, the cool point from what I am reading is that they are still possibly meta competitive, which is good enough for me.
