Droid teams yes, light side Idk

If i were you, i would switch out st han for a better tank, not a worse one

Chopper is indeed viable running with r2d2. They both need to be fast my r2 is 223 and chopper 202 I think. Chopper then assists and reduces cooldown and also regenerates protection from dispelling buffs

I have run sthan and chopper g10 and I prefer chopper

Have a look https://swgoh.gg/u/thejamman/

I concede that chopper may be more useful to you with r2 since he can reduce cooldowns, but your chopper wont last very long against hard hitting end game teams, with or without CLS. He may be the best you have, but calling him "viable" is a stretch.

I face super tough Rex leads in my shard every day, and chopper is not better tham baze or GK or even old ben

I've run Ackbar with Chopper, R2, BB, and KS in TB and they perform surprisingly well. Would love to get both zetas on R2, BB's self preservation, and possibly KS's zeta as well. Chopper is zeta free. One day I suppose.

Chopper works best with droids if you've maxed his basic.

It's a fun team.

Yes, I often use chopper in my main GW team of HK-47, IG88, IG86, R2, and Chopper (subbing in B2 or JE if they would do better). His assist to droids is a small but helpful boost, and his turbo-charging cooldowns is helpful in GW where you're generally crushing many teams in a row with AOE.

You're very anti phoenix lol

I am not anti phoenix, lol
If you are a brand new player, they are ok
I am describing medium and top arena teams and wether or not chopper is a viable end game long term arena tank.

Worth mentioning that g12 Chopper gets a pretty bonkers boost to his survivability.
