B1 Viability

Should be 8 everytime. And multiples thereof.

You sure you're not just missing him gaining stacks when he gets his turn after being attacked?

Oh I just misread his kit sorry lol.

How does he loose droid battalion? Sometimes he loses 8 stacks in a hit and others 3? Makes no sense.

He loses 8 stacks a hit, but gains 3 at the start of his turn, so if he is killed right before his turn starts it looks like he only lost 5. I don’t know where you are getting the 3 from.

Also Gains 1 stack per other separatist allies when using his special

Tanks are viable at 3* because health doesn’t raise that much raising stars compared to mod gains
Attackers need stars to raise damage

While the lack of stars will mean less damage, B1 brings group defense and healing, so should fill his role fine.

We'll have to wait and see if the team is viable

Can anyone tell if multi-attackers like 5s or Greedo get interrupted by B1s first death, or if they will continue the chain attack? 5s seems like he stops after one attack but hard to tell.

I would think it should, but have not tested it yet.

There’s a big problem with B1 currently. He can’t get rid of plague. At all. By any means.

With all the talk about keeping with the theatrical ideals of what a B1 is you would think he would be immune to plague.

Especially considering he’s immune to DoTs.

Not that this is a reason why one and not the other, but Dots are each an attack meaning 3 Dots = 24 stacks removed.

Plague is a single damage but increasing % damage, so only 8 stacks.

That doesnt explain why he he isnt immune or plague cleansed after the loss of 8 stacks, "as the next droid steps up". There doesnt seem to be any mechanic for him to cleanse plague.

They need to just make him immune or cleanse himself after taking damage.

With the B1 requiring so much of its power based on how many stacks of Droid Battallion it has, and given that one hit takes out 8 stacks of that pool, what is the defensive viability for this character? RNG against the AI is helping it stay alive on offense, but defense worrys me a little. I know the other kits haven't come out yet, but one mass assist really hurts its stacks of Batallion. Combo that with AOE attacks and this character seems like it need a zeta just to give it a chance of surviving longer that 2 seconds on defense.

Right now, it is very poor. But we do not know the kits of droideka, magnaguard, or grievous. There may be a taunt or something in there to help.
