Hk-47 or IG-88 first?

88 1st. His lead skill applies to all. My 88 led team gets me into the top 100 without Poe. HK 1st does bad damage and doesn't synergize with non droids. I did 88. 1st and it jas my 86 crittin like crazy

I'd get IG-88 started first since he can sit in on non-droid teams while you eventually level up HK-47. Doing the opposite leaves HK kind of sidelined until IG-88 comes along. Sound logical??

^ this

86 is a much better critter than 88.

HK47 strength is not crit %, it"s 30% turn meter per crit. Often you AOE with 88, crit 3-4 times, and get a turn inmediately after that. Same with HK47 AOE ability.

HK47 us the best leader for droids by far

Hopefully they fix the leader speed buff ability so it works first round, currently it doesn't which is seriously hampering my plans for a Lobot lead droid team.
He's supposed to give +23 speed and +10% potency at ability 6.

Same bug also affects Qui-Gon Jinn, Akbar and Ventress as well. I have a hard time believing that was the intent since it hobbles all 4 to the point where it's almost not worth placing them as leader, first round is critical.
And if you can't have them as leader then the feasibility of Nightsister, Rebel and Jedi synergy teams are greatly diminished and we get more cookie cutter squads.

This team is working great for me in GW

For offense yes, but when I keep him on defense.... Not so well as compared to 88. Dont know why
