Looking for speculation. GG leads separatist droids while HK leads assassin droids.If they "rework" HK that suggests improving him. What will they rework about him though? He has a great leader ability. He is tankie with a great rez and AOE. In front of 88 and 86 he is still a force to be reckoned with. I've tet to pair those 3 with BB8 and R2, and am eager to see what happens.HK will probably get a zeta.I don't have grievous so I am not sure what makes him so bad.

It is literally impossible to say. As of right now HK is the only viable droid lead, so they are either going to make GG on par or better, but we dont know. As you suggested they are also hinting at HK getting some love.It's really only a wait and see type of situation.All that being said, I would say GG has my bet. HK makes you rely on crits and there are alot of mechanics out there already that are "anti crit".

They might not even rework HK, instead shepherding in a new Separatist crew. A reworked GG, b2, magna, then new Droideka and b1 is a full team, and there are already good droid options to sub in for them (L3, R2, bb8)That said, I hope HK gets a total rework and joins the OR squad. I don't think it's gonna happen tho

I've been using HK, BB8, T3, Chopper, and IG88/R2 in arena lately. Ranks 100-200. Beats more than you'd think. Nightsisters are fun to attack, it's like a shootout. CLS teams, EP teams, bastila w/o GK. Crit immunity from GK is really the worst impediment.

Yeah I remember them shooting down giving HK the OR tag at first. But at this point it seems crazy that they'd keep him singled out. Lots of ways to go with a rework if they try to work in OR synergy.

Excited about rework hoping GG is a counter to revan arena needs a shakeup. GG collects lightsabres from the Jedi he kills in Star Wars lore. This could be good but it’s a wait and see thing for sure. Hk has a small Jedi bonus too lol
