I'm trying to figure out if its better to use BB-8's basic attack every turn, or if its better to just use covert data transfer every turn. If you use his basic attack you'll do more damage overall, inflict more tenacity down and therefore land a lot more debuffs, but on the downside you take longer for Illuminated Destiny. Another thing to note is that BB-8 is insanely fast so although he only does 8-10k on a basic attack he attacks really fast so it adds up and you will kill an enemy sooner rather than waiting for illuminated destiny to save you most of the time. On the other hand using covert data transfer allow you to shave off 1-3 turns on Illuminated Destiny, but until then you'll be lacking an ally for the most part(basically its like having JE on your team again) and you'll be taking more damage. But when you do get to use Illuminated Destiny its rare that the enemy can come back from it.

Biggest reason I regret the Omega, I think spamming covert data to reduce cooldown is the way to go, unless a situation where you need to land a kill dictates otherwise. You can reach his illuminated destiny very quickly this way.
