BB8 Secret Intel

I’m confused as to how it works. The way it’s worded it sounds as if BB8 doesn’t have to give it to anyone, allies just randomly get it every turn. That seems WAY too OP since Illuminated Destiny’s cooldown gets reduced constantly too.
  • full disclosure, i don't really pay attention and just spam his special.

    Sounds to me like you had two chances and made a mistake on both. You got smoke screen off, but shouldn't have used that. Should have stunned Poe or BB-8 first.
  • No team is currently unbeatable (of course that statement assumes that you have comparable mods as your opponent). As the RJT/BB8 combo is fairly new, players are still working out tactics such as kill order and ability priorities. If you are using the same tactics that you used against Titan meta teams, or Rex leads or any other setup, you will probably not perform as well as you possibly could. Just my 2 cents there

    Umm am I missing something? This is literally the whole point of bb8. I never seen anyone say BB8 is OP yet.


    You never saw anyone soloing multiple phases of heroic aat until BB-8 came along. He wasn't used much in arena until JTR came along because his kit was a little complicated, but now he's showing up in pretty much any JTR team.

    You could definately make some arguments that his kit is a little overtuned


    Which goes back to the old argument of OP or works well. He, like R2-D2, works well with specific teams, mainly Resistance. He does not make any of the teams unbeatable but does help a lot. IMO, not OP.

    That wouldn’t matter because once BB8 gets Secret Intel off once, there’s no stopping it. Everyone gives it away like a happy flu. The only way I can figure to beat them is some sort of B2/TFP/Baze combo that does enough AoE dispels and buff immunity to stop them. But, that would be a terrible, synergy-less team.

    This would only be relevant if everyone also had ID.
