So I too was really feeling the pain of grevious and the newly reworked separatist droids.... they just seemed to fall short somehow :(That was until I decided to stick BB8 on the team in magma’s place... then it all came together :)The initial speed boost for the droids he gives makes them all super fast... so they all move before the other team. This opens up a lot of advantages for the droid team.... Once he gets to the point of illuminated destiny (which happens pretty fast) then thats all she wrote for the other team... Worst case scenario is that b1 gets marked and dies early... but even in these situations I’ve still managed to pull out the win more often than not...It’s really an amazing team to use (at least offensively) against the sea of Revan squads in today’s arena... against CLS or others use R2 instead of B2 to focus fire on Droideka (who will have damage immunity for 2 turns already since he moves super fast)I took a few screenshots from some battles today as I climbed the ranks with ease ;)I sunk some money into the droids (B1 and Droideka) after I saw they were capable of winning.... but I had pretty much the same success while they were both at only 4*Good luck fellow droid lovers... and enjoy the team :)

Very nice, and missing 3 zetas.Maybe my farming wont be in vein.

Can always count on Smapty. Good stuff.

Nice job mang! Now zeta that b2. His is probably the best Of the lot.

Yeah B2 is next for sure... he should make them much faster :) I used the only zetas I had saved up on grevious lead and b1I think b1 zeta was really significant.... him staying alive longer makes the durability of the team dramatically better.... it like it’s just enough to survive through those tough situations that would maybe cost you the match...... as long as he isn’t marked he can keep whoever is marked alive long enough to push through it...

I made a video but the first half is super laggy and almost painful to watch....The second half of the fight is pretty clear though... and gotta love that 60k basic hit on Kenobi from GG at the end :)https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A0qWFxmH8B4

Disheartened by the grievous rework? Never fear... BB8 makes the team amazing!

I zeta'd b1 the day he came out.
I never thought to use any light side droids because of the grevious unique. Gald you were braver than me.

Have you tried t3?
The mass dispel, and his cleanse/heal sound good and he could help ramp up the damage... i never use him and he is my highest total power character at 23k with both zetas.

What happens if focus gets placed on BB8? Is it essentially game over or can you still pull out the win?

Ive tried T3... and 88 and several other “target lock” combos...
T3 is really good... and I thought I would need him in any droid team to make them work... he boosts their damage a good bit (I’ve hit 70k basics with GG withT3 in there)

But he’s just not as useful as BB8 for the first turn of action and then the illuminated destiny buff later to push them through the survivors... BB8 was the one that made the team really work vs high end arena teams

You could maybe try subbing him for B2... I haven’t tried it yet :)

I think Revans AI doesn't target a char with taunt with his Direct Focus as long as there are chars without taunt. And since BB8 is hilariously fast with the 40% speed boost and gets taunt when using his Covert Data when all allies are droids, he'll be safe.

Really glad someone figured a team out. It was really making me mad that people were complaining before trying more than one team. Well done. Hopefully I can get this team going pretty soon.

Kinda like how the prepared scoundrels are terrible together, but swap out young lando and young han for pretty mhch any other scoundrels and then they work
