Best Droid Team 5th? (besides B2)

I use HK, 88, K-2SO, B2 and JE. It lacks in damage compared to other combinations but K-2SO is almost a necessity for droid teams now. His daze is invaluable against rebels and his offense down is good against everyone, plus he's really tanky, constantly taunts, counter attacks (inflicting offe se down) and attacks as much, if not more, than B2 throughout the match. He's definitely the best choice to put in. Also, you should definitely have B2 in your squad if they have an auto taunt like shore or baze, or anyone who gains a lot of buffs like chirrut. If they don't, then feel free to swap him out for 86 or someone else.

I use 100. Frequently I get an ig100 counter or assist attack, aoe with TM losses, then standard attack with potential offense down, so 3 attacks in a row.

If I had k2SO I would use him. Use what you have.

All this is true :) . Try to mod all droids with 4 crit damage mods and 2 potency mods, Crit damage triangle + a potency cross. Easier said than done =p

I was running a groids (grindy droids) squad when K landed to see where he fits:
HK, K, 100, B2 and GG as my 5th (he's very tanky in an all-droid squad)
It worked well until GenKen and Zarriss teams started turning up and I found myself having to switch back to HK, GG, 88, B2, JE to get some DPS.

However I'm now comfortably getting a top 2 spot daily using HK, K, B2, 100 and Zarriss. It's pretty solid on defence too.

I'll echo what others have said in that B2 is essential against some teams but that's not much help. Of the three you've listed, I think that K offers everything Nebit does but better. You lose the burst damage but get a far superior taunt, useful daze and buckets of speed. 100 offers you much more hitting power but at the cost of a taunt.

You may need to keep your options open and pick based on your opponent. But for instant all-round utility, K's the best of the bunch IMHO. I have a series of vids with him in my groids that really showcase how well he (and other droids) work in the right team.

Droids without B2 are useless if you didn't know. You won't be able even to remove taunt from Shoretrooper, without B2 your game is over.

After that last, rather lengthy reply, I went and made a quick vid. It shows a Zeta'd K (eventually) dazing Biggs for an easy kill, 100 causing general chaos but importantly, B2 surpressing RG as well as keeping buffs off all the others. Shame Zarris was a bit limp... she normally does much better.

DISCLAIMER: I know that K has the most amazingly pump Zeta imaginable but as I was quite early to demo his other abilities, I thought I should at least see if I could make anything out of his Zeta.

Droids teams, b2 is a must. The good thing is b2 can be used for other teams so farm him.

@SifuSteve ,

Awesome, thanks a lot for your valuable information regarding K2 his Zeta. It's the only droid Zeta for now and I was tempted to give him my first. But after seeing you vid where his zeta is basically a 300 damage reduction I won't do it.

I came across this new squad from Ashaman, which could work as well against the current Barriz Zeta squads around there. It's a squad with Boba lead, 88, JE, B2 and K2. Check it out, I am going to try it! :)

And here is a vid of me fighting against a Maul zeta squad with 47(L), 88, B2, K2 and JE. My win rate is 50% I believe.

@Chewie_says_Aaarww - That punchy Boba lead has definitely got what it takes. Sadly my own Boba is leagues away from being that good (and HK would never forgive me).

Good effort against Maul. I'm yet to face a squad with him in that's that strong.

That is one cool team.

Cheers bud. I'm a little sad that I ruined the droid aesthetic by putting a jedi in there but I was getting bored of having to claw my way back from 30th every day.
