Find a Good Home for BB8

Hi all,

I'm very pleased with myself that I've now got BB8. Admittedly only at 5* but I've got all abilities maxed out (but not Zetaed), some reasonable mods on him (as best as I can currently do), and now in the process of gearing the little fella up.

Thing is, what do I do with him now? I don't run a Resistance team and don't have any great motivation to do so. I will however now start farming the JTR-required team although I don't think they have a huge amount of use anywhere else currently.

My Arena team is CLS, Rex, Old Ben, R2 and OG Han. Does he fit anywhere there or not bother?

If not - any ideas as to where/how I can use him?

Here's my roster - https://swgoh.gg/u/coastaljames/collection/


Many thanks as always you lovely people!


James.

    I do yes...and can see a half-decent team there. But for what return for my investment? Not sure I think it's worth it in regards progression. Great idea though, thanks.

    Bb8 isn’t too useful in the arena unless you have JTR. However, bb8 is King Kong in raids/tb, since they are longer and you have plenty of opportunities to fire off illuminated destiny. You can pretty much plug and play him into any raid team for a big boost to damage, and as a bonus he provides buff coverage against the tank (though this is a big detriment in p1 str). It’ll be tough to use him at only 5 stars though, since mostly you need 7* characters for raids, so I’d recommend farming fo to get him up to 7* as soon as you can. The event happens every 2-3 months, so even if you can’t get him there this week it’s still work gearing him up so the next time you can quickly bump him up to 7* and use him in raids. (I personally use him in my actress team, which can solo p3-4 in HAAT)


    Great advice on many fronts- thank you.
