BB8 review

As soon as someone has videos of

ZFinn, Poe, RT, R2Z2 & BB8 against a bunch of arena teams please link!

Played (on auto) through a GW with BB8 at gear IX and some battles he was able to use illuminated destiny twice.... R2 loves his flamethrower!

Was ridiculous to watch :) love those little droids!

    That's right, unfortunately.

    But against the CLS gold node 11/12 R2 was critting with his AOE. I used bb8s special twice in that single battle
  • I use ZResistance (because I don't have cls) in arena and tried zfinn poe RT R2 BB8 and it was a disaster. I switched back to Thrawn at my last try to not lose too many ranks. No interest in arena for me as there is now cls in most of top 50 teams (why i use thrawn)

    Just want to point out here that you used cf in the wrong context. cf is used to form a contrast:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cf.

    Thus, the correct way here would be to use “see”. I just always correct it when I see that usage, because most people make that mistake in academic literature as well.

    Is it always to form a contrast, though? Not to be combative, I've just mostly seen it used as a "cross-reference" type of thing where the attested source backs up what is being said... which would mean cf is used properly here. That much said, I've mostly seen the abbreviation in Bibles, so I have a fairly limited scope here lol.

    OT: I imagine BB-8's presence just sort of keeps Resistance where it already is on the arena ladder. You still have the tenacity up shutdown as well as complicated kits that the AI can't play well.
