Droid strats and comps in the meta
I decided to create a post where we could discuss droid comps and strategies for various comps and characters that are "Meta' The idea is for people to post their solutions for the various characte...

Here's my thoughts on team comps for offense. I am a newer 85 (Dec '16) so my shard is not necessarily as competitive as others. I'm the only droid user in top 50, probably in the top 100 for all I know).
'Core' cast: HK-47 (L), IG-88, B2
'Rotating' cast: Jawa Engineer, IG-86, R2, K2S0, Boba Fett. Once GK is unlocked/geared he will be on the cast as well. My R2 is still getting geared so I don't use him as much as others that are G11.
'Thrawn Empire' - very hard to beat so far
Rotate in: TBD. I have fared very poorly against this team so far. I plan on trying R2 and K2S0 in the future.
'Chirrut+Baze' squads (Any combination of rebels, DN, etc.) - very RNG dependent, B2 is the MVP
Rotate in: K2S0, SOMETIMES Boba Fett in place of Jawa Engineer (I'm still deciding if I like Boba in here since he and B2 often have anti-synergy)
'Zeta Maul' - hard difficulty (RNG)
Rotate in: R2D2, Jawa Engineer OR Boba Fett (?). I have been avoiding these while I work on R2's gear. I haven't tried a Boba lead here yet.
'Jedi' - medium difficulty (some RNG due to B2 needing to constantly clear buffs)
Rotate in: Jawa Engineer, K2S0
'Darth Nihilus Sith' (assuming Count Dooku) - easy, too slow
Rotate in: Jawa Engineer, K2S0
'Resistance' - easy but sometimes Expose RNG will take a match
Rotate in: Jawa Engineer, IG-86
'Zeta Vader' - easy, too slow
Rotate in: Jawa Engineer, IG-86
'Classic Rebels' (No Chirrut+Baze) - easy, too slow
Rotate in: Jawa Engineer, IG-86
'First Order' - easy, too slow
Rotate in: Jawa Engineer, IG-86
Defense squad (last fight of the day): I usually end with whatever I have, but I'm starting to think that I should close up matches with HK-47 (L), IG-88, B2, R2D2, and Jawa Engineer. I suspect that it should discourage more squads from attacking compared with other characters.
