I know this looks like a no-brainer, since Cody doesn't have the 501st Tag for one. For people that already have Cody though, are you planning to shelf him for Arc? He is a great boon to the team IMO, I love the call all assist, where if enough crits happen, he can almost use it again next turn. He also has the AOE that stuns. With Arc, you take away the mass assist, and then have the turret make a bunch of assists instead, which gets to be more and more as more have command. What I could not determine from swgoh.gg website, was how much damage is this turret going to do? I know there were some rumours about more clones coming, now that there are potentially 2 - 3 extra, but I think those are squashed now as CG said Clone Wars content is done correct?

People keep forgetting that the turret dispels all buffs on its target every time it shoots. That's huge, especially in TB where there are lots of super tanky taunting enemies.Its damage is also irrelevant against stacks of B1s and B2s where any amount of damage will remove stacks.

Cody was my first zeta, and I loved the clone squad even early on. But yeah, I will be replacing him with Arc asap.

Same as above. With Shaking-Tea as my squad lead, somebody hast to eat bench time and sadly, that is Cody. His mass asssist wi be missed

I am currently building clones and shaak. I don't have Cody, but do have clone Sgt already. He's currently sitting in padme team (quick fifth whilst getting zarris / other; as no need to omega basic not level up unique).When shaak is ready, Sgt probs will be benched for arc (until I get GS and there are other clones to join Cody, Sgt and shaak). Arc gets 5s sacrifice boost, plus the turret; it's just the better squad

In most situations Cody is the odd-man out. If you're going with a full Shaak-Ti squad you could make the argument for Cody, but even then it appears Arc Trooper's damage is going to outpace anything Cody could do with all things equal. The only real argument for Cody is that his assist allows for you to build up more turns for Rex's annihilate, but even with that in a standard match once you get to an annihilate no matter what it can usually finish a toon off.

Going to need Cody for lstb either way.

Can anyone report what kind of damage this turret is putting out? I know if scales based on Arc, so if people could reference what gear Arc is that would help.

Still trying to figure out if Arc is worth it (even though already farming him, farming him is one thing, spending a wad of gear on him is another)

Benefit of Cody: mass assists
Benefit of ARC: another 501st for fives to sacrifice himself for.

Either way, you'll need both for geo tb. 21k for Cody. 22k for ARC.

So his damage AND the turret are crap? Better off sticking with Cody?
