The just-announced Phoenix Squad buffs include new omegas for Chopper that specifically boost his usefulness in Droid squads! Praise the Maker!
Chopper - Reckless Fling
Omega Upgrade: +10% Cooldown Reduction Chance, and also applies to Droid allies. Final Ability Text: Deal Physical damage to target enemy and grant a random Phoenix or Droid ally Offense Up, Defense up, or Speed Up at random for 2 turns, with a 60% chance to also reduce that ally’s cooldowns by 1.
Chopper - Maintenance Protocols
Omega Upgrade: +4% Health and +4% Protection, and Chopper has a 30% Chance to Assist when another Phoenix or Droid ally uses an ability on their turn.
Final Ability Text: At the start of his turn, Chopper recovers 15% of his Max Health. In addition, whenever he is damaged by an attack, he gains Protection Up (15%) if he doesn’t have Protection Up. Chopper has a 30% Chance to Assist when another Phoenix or Droid ally uses an ability during their turn.
Of course, who to drop for Chopper is the question here (or rather: Even with his 30% assists and CD reduction is it worth using him?).
The options to drop under an HK lead:
- B2: My first target to drop against Rebels. His AOE strafe is so heavily punished by CLS these days...
- JE/BB8: Especially against zHan I feel like JE isn't pulling his weight at all, so I could start dropping him from teams. I don't have BB8 so I can't comment on him.
- IG88: I could see dropping my fav droid for Chopper against CLS teams. Still better against GK/Zarriss teams for the heal block
- GK: Kenobi is just amazing, but Chopper provides an alternative tank with low dmg that also has some extra utility for droids now. Maybe it's worth substituting Chopper in?
- R2: I feel like R2 is carrying my team hard, so I'm not dropping him!
I might try a group of: HK (L), R2, IG88, Chopper, JE against CLS teams.
