BB-8 the answer for grievous?
Just been looking at BB-8s kit and it's pretty good specially for droids imagine the turn meter you gain from hk47 (leader) then imagine the protection and health you gain from critical hits and the c...

Eh, it's like saying that CLS can make Hoth Scout a decent character. Sure, he's a lot better under a CLS lead, but that doesn't negate the fact that there are tons of better characters to have in his place. GG is the same. Would you take out IG-88 for Grievous? Or B2? Or R2?
Thats a good point, but im pretty sure this is more of a find a use for GG thread.
What I was trying to say was that GG isn't good enough to bother trying to find a use for him. When he gets a rework, that will hopefully change.

All Greivous needs is higher damage. I don't know why people think his abilities are bad... A basic that can't be dodged or countered and an AoE with any debuff (to fuel IG-88) is great. Sinister Laughter isn't very good, but you don't need it anyway and shouldn't worry about defense because you're just always going to lose defense anyhow...
That said, I don't think BB8 will help Greivous much. You need BB8, R2, and HK to make this team work, leaving you with room for only two other characters--88 does better damage, and there are too many powerful buffs out there to leave B2 out.
Gotta disagree, there. His basic is... okay. Against some characters it is literally just damage, and not an exceptionally high amount.
His AOE does decent damage but, again, not exceptional. It does have a chance of inflicting a debuff, but it's not a particularly high chance, and it's only a single one. It's a good debuff, but with the amount of cleanses around right now, the 2-3 debuffs you actually land are gonna go away very quickly.
His laugh is... wait for it.... laughable!
His leader makes me sad when I look at it and the icon doesn't seem to match the actual ability very well.
And, last and almost least, is his unique. It gives him some health which is not bad. It dispels all debuffs on him when he's already been dropped so low in health that he's doomed anyway. It makes a random ally taunt for a turn which can be really unfortunate for poor IG-88. But the funniest thing is, it gives the ally who gets the taunt 100% TM.
You're on a Droid team......... THAT ALLY IS GOING TO IMMEDIATELY LAND A CRIT OR MULTIPLE AND LOSE THE TAUNT YOU JUST GAVE THEM.
It was a bad kit when it was released. Now it's bad, and very dated.
