I’m pulling together my seperatist team at the moment and I was wondering on a line-up. The faction revolves around target lock synergy and using grevious to deal massive AoE damage. However, from reading the kits, droideka seems somewhat underwhelming. Damage immunity seems worthless without a taunt and it seems like his place is only to deal massive single target burst damage? Nute on the other hand, brings a lot to the table from extortion and speed down debuffs. His leadership is also a lot of fun. The line up is as follows:Grevious (core for damage and target lock) B1 (core for healing and target lock) B2 (core for feeding tm and dispel + buff immunity)I think it’s then between magnaguard, droideka and Nute as to who you sub in. What do you think?

Magnaguard is built to help Sep Droids be consistent against JKR, so definitely use him when facing JKR. I typically use zNute over Droideka in arena because it helps boost B2's AoE damage and Droideka's single target damage doesn't seem necessary with G13 GG. Droideka isn't useless though. He doesn't have a taunt, but he should quickly become your healthiest Droid and one of the first to get mark from GG when GG goes under 100% HP. Droideka shines in Geo TB too. I've had mine Basically solo a wave since clones don't have any dispels. They're also pretty fast so Droideka gets a lot of bonus damage on his special.

Yeah for arena you want GG/B1/B2/Magnaguard/Nute.

I have both nute and Droideka zetad. I like Droideka in TB but it doesn't bring much to the table for arena.

That said, ping ponging marked between Droideka and the rocket droid in TB has been great. After everyone else croaked, GG/Droideka and rocket trooper cleared an entire extra wave for me last time around. The full Droid setup also helps you ramp up GGs HP+damage quicker

Do Grievous's health/damage increases carry between waves? This seems like something that should be common knowledge by now but I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere.

Droideka does not suck. If you get GG marked on him while he has damage immunity, the other team is fucked. Or you are, if the enemy Droideka is marked.

I’d agree. Droideka doesn’t suck. But he could be better. But that’s true for a lot of characters , still useful.

The toughest Sep team I faced was the one that's Top 20 in my arena...uses Droideka. GG, B1, B2, Magna, and Droideka.

I would love to know if G12 Nute is better as well, since I'm currently building the squad.

I have to agree those 6 man double Droideka teams are tough! No shame losing to that

We might get a few more separatists so Nute finds some use?

Squeezing 3 teams out of seps is a common worry. There are outsider inserts which allows that and many combos. Knowing CG, they'll ofc make use of currently overhead toons completing them to a designated team build.

Don't wanna list down the theorycrafted builds as they are the bread and butter of pvp modes. Just head into discord theorycrafting territories if you're keen.

Wat also being a generalist seperatist supports my desire to keep Nute in sep droids team.

The scoundrel tag can be pretty useful for odd teams. I am upping Jango, and he is my 6th BH, so while I am working up nute I am tossing him in a cleanup scoundrel team.

I’d have thought Nute wouldn’t synergise well in scoundrels just because his kit is so focused towards separatists.

I’ll prob farm both for Geo TB anyway tbh

He actually might fit pretty well on a Vamdor team...

That’s what I was thinking. Additional revive & stealth and extortion
