Still maintaining top 5, and often #1 with my droid setup. Shard is filled with super whales also(6 out of the top 10 is whales), I can beat teams 7-9 levels and up to 11k power more than me using the droid/Jawa farming order I posted previously. I could not, and would not be able to beat them without using nebit in my team. The taunt he offers versus higher powered whale teams is unmeasureable, swapping in 5s, 100, rg, other jawas, would not produce any reliable results vs teams with significantly higher power than mine.
Flat out, if you run droids, you need JE and Nebit asap on a new shard. Droids alone and early, without jawa support will not let you run with the big dogs.
I also always complete GW, and very rarely even need to put a sub in on any nodes, just straight smashes through, just make sure you have cooldowns ready on 6/9/11.
