Droid team advice?

How do you like your B2?

Love him but still trying to justify the money spent

He won't just take advantage of HK's lead, he'll give GG much-needed Hit Points and increase 86's critical chance even further. It's a no brainer for me... Jawa's gotta go. If you're not comfortable running an all-droid lineup, then keep JE in there. Personally I've found him to be underwhelming with an HK lead: His crit buff isn't really necessary with HK's leader skill, anything I stick his bombs to is usually dead before they go off and if he somehow manages to out live a droid and revive him, that droid is folded like a big check about two seconds later.

On defense, although I've seen the value of RG, I'd rather have 88 in the lineup because when he lands his AoE, he can usually get another shot. It would all depend on how much of a spong B2 turns out to be but droids weren't built to last - every build I've tried that has some sort of stamina fails slowly. I've had my most success by trying to end the fight in 4 turns. You'll know it yourself, with droids you know if you're going to win within the first 30 seconds...

Je rezzes and heals, too. And he is super speedy.

With a taunter, rez can be very useful. Poe or han will give an additional tm boost. Rg is good too. Je is pretty great against speedy teams.

I have found it useful to bench je and go with two tanks against an equal je droid team. Forgo the coin toss and weather the storm. Then focus fire them down. But for the most part je rocks.

With je, u go first. And i find it best to focus fire enemy tanks. And hope hk and 88 aoe will block their rey and or detaunters/stunners. If i can block qgj and rey, by the time my rg or han taunts, it is usually a win.

I have 5 star ig100, but he doesnt bring enough to the table, yet. Maybe when he is 7 star? Topndroid team on my server uses ig100, and it is hellaciously good, so i dont count out magnaguard.

Just easily took #1 for first time
Hk(L), 88, 86, JE, b2

But can you maintain it, that's the real challenge with Droid teams.

Not really so I gotta take and hold within last 10min
But on offense I ate #1, I had all 5 in green at end

Am i missing something here? I tought JE is good becouse with 4 droid to support his passive he is allways first to take turn. So at first turn he uses crit up\turn meter buff and lines all your droids to go after him. With HK lead you end up bursting 4-6 turns before enemy team gets to react. The crit buff is just a nifty bonus, but TM buff is the real deal you are using him over poggle. Dont have ig-100 ready so i havent tested my self yet.

Some good feedback on this thread. In answer to the question, how do I deal with speedy teams? The honest answer is I take a lot of abuse from them. It tends to go something like: IG86 or 88 get a faceful and possibly fold before they even shoot. GG gets hurt and either HK or IG100 taunt. Then it's return fire. I'll hold off any AoE until GG laughs then unload with everything, targeting their healer first and using GG's basic against counter hitters.

To be fair, I prefer a fluffy all-droid team but there's some good sales pitches here for JE. I might need to max him out and give him a second chance but I'm loathed to let GG go.

I have him at 4*, lvl79, gear VIII with all his abilities purple max and Omega on his basic (possibly another on his AoE). Even tooled up this much, he is definitely the weakest in the squad. But he's useful for his Sinister Laugh, uncounterable/unevadable basic attack and taunt trigger. I don't think he'll really be viable without at least one more star...
