fight vs poe+poggle+geo+ig88+ig86

In my experience, the fight goes pretty much the same:
1. Anyone who comes in my team before the opponent's Poe, can't do anything that really matters
2. His Poe taunts
3. Poe has way too much HP to kill it fast enough.
4. His Poggle does special damage / advantage / offense whatever it can up on his team
5. After this, the droids generally kills 2 of my team and the game is over.

In some really rear cases I am very lucky and my team somehow survives the first turn and not everyone gets heal immunity and my healer doesn't have ability block, THEN I can win in the end.

How do you fight vs this team?
Any ideas?
  • I run a droid team and i hope everyone listens to the guy who said leave 88 until after 86. That is a giant step to giving me a win, even more so when i run 47 as lead. To the OP, focus everything you got on 88 first, he has, like 4 HP's it seems, so he should die to a stiff breeze. Get him done and gone, then try for 86. Use fast toons if you have them or toons that stun, a QGJ and Dooku go a long ways to killing my team, even a Royal Guard would be useful, even if they are not max starred, or at the very least disrupting me from chaining attacks. Again, you want my IG-88 and his ability block aoe the hell off the map as soon as possible. No AI run droid team will bother with 88's basic attack first, so that is a moot point, they will AOE you and 1-5 of your toons are locked down and GS/86 will clean them up. Good luck.

    @eelab Listen to this guy, and you are giving him more chances to win vs you. He is playing droids so his goal is to delude you about your priorities in fight vs him. I don't run droids and i know how to beat them, so you should listen to me. If you don't have enough power to kill both 86 and 88 before they are able to act, choose 86 first. 88's aoe is a joke in arena and will not kill anyone, even with 1-2 exposes. 86 will kill someone for sure.
  • The key to beating a droid team is to eliminate IG86 before he gets to go. If you don't have enough power to kill both IG's, 86 is he primary target, because he will kill someone and you are in situation 4vs4 vs taunt vs offense up. 88 will not kill anyone and it will be 5vs4 vs taunt vs offense up. His aoe is scary just in theory, like the Poe's aoe. Poe barely lands 1 or 2 max exposes. Same with 88.
    What i want to see here is someone who speak from his own experience, and not just repeating the phrase parrot-fashion.

    I have two accounts, one with droids and funky stuff and the other account is meta. I agree with the rest kill ig88 first. If he gets his aoe off and ability blocks your healer you're dead. Especially when they run a HK47 lead, ig88 will get a second turn after his aoe.
  • Reality can be different from theorycrafting, mr."person". Everyone should be posting here to share his own experience and not to generalize and giving names to ppl.
  • Sorry, i had to see these 461 posts earlier. I had to know who i'm messing with.
