Droid Squad Tactics

Ah, I wasn't talking about his second attack but the Droid Squad Tactics ability, which gives him additional crit chance and damage for "each living droid ally." (3% crit chance at Level 2, for example.) I'm wondering if he counts as his own ally for this as well, i.e. a full team of droids including 86 would give +15% crit chance at Level 2 (with 86 counted as one of the allied droids) or +12% (with only the other four counted).

It's pretty hard to do much scientific testing of the stats in-game, though...

It says droid ally. I don't think he would count as his own ally, would be great for me though lol

If you're running lot of droids in a squad Lobot is a good ally for synergy. He's also useful in support only challenges.

Right now I'm trying out Hk, 86,88, magnaguard(2 star...), and poggle(once I get him). Will do research about Lobot!

Yes.

I have a droid team.
86 gets a buff from the two other droids on the team, HK and 88. If I add magnaguard we can add another 7.5% crit chance to his ability, it's currently only on 15%.
If you are not running 86 I suggest you do, he crits most general and secondary attacks. His secondary attack if crit (the one that calls another toon to attack) is a high damage hitfest. If you can crit with that add another 30% turn meter from HK.

Poggle and Lobot both have great Droid synergy. Poggle is the easier of the two to farm since he's in GW shipments, Lobot is only farmable on 2 hard nodes.(light side 4-B and 5-B) I think his debuff cleanse / heal is worth it though.
Once I've maxxed my Phasma and IG-86 in GW I'll also farm Poggle to try out a Lobot, 88, 86, HK, Poggle team. The speed and crit bonuses ought to burn anyone down.
