Farewell droids

If dooku, daka or rg stunned one or more of my droids i rarely could recover with that team. The dooku lead team with gs, ig86, qgj and rg has more ability to overcome a stun or two.

My Poggle (lead), 88, 86, Geo, Sid/Poe team is still able to hit top 5/ #1 on arena. But I do find that my team is doing really badly on defence and frequent bad RNG encounters with Dooku lead lately. Probably going to switch things up in like two weeks. :)

I use the same but instead of Poe I use RG, much better results, I ditched HK lead a while back and can be top 5 every night still.

There's a couple droid teams in my top-10, HK lead, IG88, IG86, Poggle, Poe, or GS in-place of Poe. Honestly if you want to play Droids, put Dooku in at Lead instead of HK, there are a couple teams like that too. That evasion makes it hard to nuke down somebody quickly.

Po-Po droid teams are the most retarded thing in this game and here's why: They are a binary, all-or-nothing sort of team. They make speed-dps a necessity in this game because anti-droid characters are a joke, and droids will absolutely obliterate you if you just let them go first (I've even tried with the tankiest teams possible).

Hopefully with the upcoming meta changes, they will be strong, but not broken and maybe anti-droid characters will get some love (yay Ugnaught!)

All irrelevant if the entire team dodges whatever you throw out them (and gets powered up in return). Droids have been crap for a long time now.

Droids were high risk but high reward. Now they are all risk. I was winning 2 out if 5 battles before i switched to dooku team.

I wouldn't call it a droid team, but i get 500 gems daily from Poggle(L),Gs,ig86,Rey,Poe. Having rey instead of 88 makes the team completely viable; 86, gs and Rey reliably hit for 15k with poggle.

Droids will probably become useful again with the new meta and the addition of fortitude. If people are unable to one shot IG88 and then RG taunts to protect 88, that alone can win a battle for a droid team because 88 can AoE and ability block all enemy toons.

This is exactly what I have been thinking. I also think HK lead will be huge at level 80 with 50% turn meter gain on a crit.
