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

If you have them all zeta they boost each other heavily. Especialy ig88 gets realy strong. I fought against this team and ig88 killed my zzkru with gear 12 and full life and protection with one schoot

Wait what? A g12 ig88 killed a g12 KRU in 1 shot? Doesn't KRU have over 70K HP/protection combined at g12? Are you exaggerating here?

Not really. T3 gives stacking crit damage for debuffs in enemy team, 88 gets stacking offense for debuffs on the other team, and with enough debuffs 88 can easily hit that hard. Throw in an illuminated destiny from BB8 and 88 can one shot most characters.

Curious how L337's Zeta interacts with IPD. Does he blow up, causing massive damage, and equalize health? Is IPD a worthwhile endeavour under the reworked GG?

I'm using a non maxed team in Arena and have gotten top 300. I use zzGGg12, B2g12, IG88g12, T3g11, and BB8g8. All are at 7 star except BB8, who is at 5 stars. :(. You dominate your first set of turns, but after that the weak droids die. That's OK though because it fuels Grievous. It's a fun arena team.
