Hey everyone!Happy Tuesday! (Sigh.) Anyways, I’ve got a question for you all, a question that’ll change how you look on life......Of course I’m just kidding.What my real question is, though, is what droid team is best for arena. I want no comments that say, "droids aren’t meta! Forget it!" Okay. I do get it. Droids aren’t meta... for now. But what team would be best? Let me tell you that I’m no where near the top 50, so I’m just looking for the best I can possibly do. I know hk47 is considered the best droid leader, but what about ig88? Would a team with ig88 lead, ipd, t3m4, bb8, and r2d2 be worth doing, or do I need to take out one to put in hk47? Also, are any other droids worth thinking about like l337 or b2 battle droid? Thanks in advance!

T3M4 and BB8 are crucial for a droid team, IG88 is good for damage, HK47 is an alright leader (better than Lobot or Poggle!) but hopefully Grievous will get reworked and his lead will replace HK’s, and the last spot is up to you. I’d recommend IPD, Chopper, R2D2 or L337.

I’ve even considered putting in Grievous in the team somewhere just for the fun of it.:) hk, t3, r2, and bb8 with Grievous. Not much dps, but he sure looks cool in that team.?

IPD still dies when using his Self-Destruct ability. Even with L3's zeta, it doesn't equalize. I do think it activates GG's unique zeta though.

Since the Devs said droids would be meta one day I've focused heavily on them. Have L3, ipd and ig88 all maxed with zetas. Working on T3 now and he will get both. I currently run those 4 with HK but only because there's no real other option.

I would speculate to prep GG to be eventually reworked in the near future to be in the next droid meta

I'd looked at ig88 lead with the others, and it would mean he benefits from his bounty but in arena it'd be hard to get off. Having used them heavily in tw I can tell you they just won't cut it in arena right now I'm afraid. But I'm ready for when they are

HK, bb8, L3, IG-88 or IG-86, R2 or T3-M4?

Jawa engineer is also pretty useful. Not super effective for damage but he can revive with his heal.

How about 4 droids with JTR’s lead? — JTR BB-8 R2-D2 L3-37 T3-M4. Or Boba’s lead will be also good with IG-88.

If you want full 5 droids team, I think this might be usable: IG-88 BB-8 R2-D2 T3-M4 and Chopper/L3-37.
L3 is really great droid tank but actually chopper too!! Well chopper is supporter but it can taunt and also can remove enemies turn meter with self-healing by its special abilities.

To answer the question correctly, there is no BEST Droid team. The best Droid team depends on your opponent. None of the droids are bad (Grevious, IG-100 aren't great though) and they're very utilitarian. So it depends on what the other team is packing.
